WATER POLLUTION Every year, almost half of the overflowed stormwater in the city of Chicago is flushed into Chicago river through Bubbly Creek. A environmental solution will not only revive the manufacture district, but also benefit the entire Chicago river area including the city of Chicago.

TIME: 2017FALL STUDIO | CHICAGO STUDIO WITH PROFESSORS CONOR O’SHEA, KEVIN HINDERS, ROBER B.OLSHANSKY TEAMWORK WITH YUTING GAO, HUAIXUAN LI, ANDREE SAHAKIAN, MANMAN SHAO, RICHA SINGH

Amount of stormwater flushed from Racine Avenue Pumping Station into Bubbly Creek every year.

2012: 2013: 2014: 2015: 2016:

577,490,000 gallons 9,920,110,000 gallons 12,052,480,000 gallons 10,480,220,000 gallons 10,061,030,000 gallons

PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION Connected to the public transit system of Chicago, it only takes 20 minutes to commute to loop from manufacture district. The north branch of the site has the potentiality to be developed into transit orientated development.

This project combines green networks, the water treatment process, and connective circulation into one system to contribute to a beneficial environment across different landuses. The four strategies address serious pollution and fragmentary block issues. The project provides educational and recreational experiences for residents, laborers and tourists, which attracts more investment and increases job opportunities within the area.

The green networks consist of different types of buffers. This project uses buffers to address the possible air and runoff contamination issues and protects the Bubbly Creek from external pollution to improve surrounding environments.

The water treatment strategies can be divided into two phases, to address contamination from combined sewage overflows and then purify water runoff. After remediation, the water can be used for recreational activities. To increase the connectivity between east and west in CMD, the project provides a pedestrian path system for walking and biking to provide special journey experiences.

The project proposal is divided into three phases of 5, 15, and 25 years. The phases in sequence will provide river remediation, tour experiences, and building foundations. The first phase focuses on water remediation and the treatment process will be exposed to the public. The second phase is defined by the completion of the deep tunnel system. At this point, the river will be a much cleaner environment and the filtration system can turn into a working public park. The third phase will also focus on residential construction north of 35th Street. Green corridors will be introduced to connect the new construction with the newly opened park.

PERSPECTIVE PHASE I From 2017 to 2029 is the first phase of the remediation park design. We propose to use serial water aeration pools and phytoremediation wetland to further clean the contaminated water which is discharged from the sedimentation pond. In the same time, the phytoremediation wetland will provide habitats for birds, aquatic animals, and the other animals. The treatment process will be exposed to the public.

PHASE II From 2029 to 2042 is the second phase. After remediation, the water quality can be improved to a stage which can support recreational activities. The fiber optic can illuminate the water quality while providing the special nocturnal landscape.

TIME: 2017 SPRING STUDIO | AFTER ACADIA WITH PROFESSOR STEPHEN SEARS This project uses the full potential of a riparian corridor to contribute to a beneficial environment across all land uses, like farmland, residential areas, urban area, etc. This case study focuses on the relationship between riparian corridor, robust habitats, productive farmland, abundant electricity, and safe road.

The riparian corridor is situated within one watershed and is used to deploy innovative strategies addressing flood, lack vegetated buffers, soil erosion, and pollution.

The first site connects the riparian corridor to areas of fragmented vegetation in order to provide animals with multiple migratory paths, enhancing the interaction between habitat, pollinators and farmland. Under this circumstance, native bees, honey bees and other pollinators can be more active in farmland which benefits the productiveness. The proposed products, ‘Floating Hexagon’ with various size and functions, are used to mitigate soil erosion, slow down the water flow, clean waste water, and provide habitats, rest and activity spaces with animals.

The second site uses terraced banks and floating farmland to store excess stormwater, which protects the residential and urban area from increasingly frequent flood events. The vegetated banks also provide a range of habitats for a diverse group of animals, and will attract beneficial insect species as well.

The third site uses underground water tank treatment, stone seep, and constructed wetland system to clean the waste water which ensure that the grey and polluted water are purified before it go through the corridor. For electricity, water can be used to cooling the electricity generation equipment and acting as the media of storage battery.

“The Midwest’s early settlers looked upon ecological systems existing in stable states of equilibrium and saw only abundant land, rich soil, and predictable seasons. They developed an unrivaled economy and culture of agricultural practices and networks - and thoroughly re-organized the nature of Nature. A half-century later, new generations recalibrated their efforts towards industrialization, fueled by technology, energy, resources, immigration, and reliable infrastructure, thereby increasing the land’s carrying capacity, while further decoupling people from natural systems. ” -- After Arcadia

GROUND WATER RESOURCES AND WATERSHED IN INDIANA The project developed landscape strategies that would contribute to the next potential recalibration of the Midwest region, synthesize nature and culture, reinvigorate a precarious biome, and provide a more secure and resilient environment. For this case study, a watershed in the Little Cicero Creek watershed in Hamilton County, Indiana State, was selected as the site to practice that the riparian corridor situated within one watershed which is used to deploy innovative strategies can address flood, lack vegetated buffers, soil erosion, and

Today, Creeks and ditches still serve with the function of drainage, but they are facing with several serious issues, such as flood, laking of vegetated buffers, soil erosion, and pollution. In this case, we should study in the watershed planning and emerging technologies with earnest efforts, in order to protect the precious resource , resolve the severe issues and take good use of it based on the values and needs of the community. Furthermore, this action also brings benefits ensuring residents with safer living spaces, and making them engage with natural ecologically and culturally.

TIME: 2016 FALL GRADUATE STUDIO II WITH PROFESSORS M. ELEN DEMING In this project, I followed the ‘Landing, Grounding, Finding, Founding’ design strategy. After regional and site analysis, I proposed a landscape strategy, which is Adventure, to revive the traditional and closure village, New Piasa Chautauqua, by taking good advantage of its natural resource to provide adventure activities place in order to attract their original residents to come back.

LANDING: Alienation and Communication

COMMUNICATION: THOSE SPACES SHOW THE SOCIAL LIVES OF RESIDENTS

New Piasa Chautauqua has existed on the banks of the Mississippi for more than 130 years. Generations of families have grow up amongst nature, and reconvene each year to learn and enjoy simple, grateful living. It is a beautiful village where its residents would spent summer vacation every year. However, recently less and less residents would come back. In this case, I did analysis and design to revive this traditional village, to gain its residents back again.

“It takes a village to raise a child” The initial impression that New Piasa Chautauqua gives me is a contrast of alienation and communication.

AN OPEN LAWN FOR BID EVENTS: HALLOWEEN PARTY BBQ PARTY etc.

A COMMUNICATION SPACE IN THE WOOD

By alienation, I mean that the performance of the main entrance is kind of confusing. There are three roads and each has a different direction which makes Chautauqua very mysterious. Furthermore, since the natural landform, Chautauqua is hidden in the valleys. When outsiders pass by, they would not imagine that inside of the community would enjoy such rich landscape.

On the other hand, when I came to New Piasa Chautauqua, I felt so welcome. There are no distinctive borders between cottages, such as fences, hedges and so on. It is as if no barriers exist between neighborhoods. Seeing the performance of different kinds of social spaces, I can imagine how people are willing to communicate with each other. Additionally, in the Chautauqua downtown, thus various public activities buildings illustrate the rich social lives of residents. Although there are not many people now I can imagine the lively scenes when people come back holding joyful events in the summer.

GROUNDING: Railway system analysis--Passenger & Freight Seeing the railway system in Illinois as two visions and each of them has different goals and three customer types.

PASSENGER RAIL SERVICE

Passenger Rail Vision: Rail Users(persons who use the rail system for commuting, intercity travel), Businesses/Communities(to attract customers to their business, to attract people to live, work and participate in the community), Network Provider(they own, operate and maintain the rail system and provide rail service to the users).

AMTRAK STATION RIDERSHIP & TOP 12 RIDERSHIP AMTRAK STATION LOCATION THE POSSIBILITIES OF ATTRACTING PEOPLE TO COME TO NPC

ABOVE: Amtrak Station Ridership In and Near Illinois by Month CY2014 According to the data of“Amtrak Station Ridership In and Near Illinois by Month, CY2014”, we could see that the top 12 high ridership stations having obvious seasonal changes in ridership , and half of those belong to the high-speed corridor from Chicago to St. Louis. When nearby travel places attract people and the convenient and fast transportation provides access, Chatuaqua would have more opportunities.

Source from: Illinois Department of Transportation

ABOVE: The 30 miles circle with NPC as the center means 30 to 45 mins drive distance to NPC. Furthermore, there are large amount of attractive travel places (red dots) insider the circle which means that NPC has the high possibility to be an attractive place for people in this popular tourism area. Since when nearby travel places attract people and the convenient and fast transportation provides access, Chatuaqua would have more opportunities.

Source from: Illinois Department of Transportation

FREIGHT RAIL SERVICES AND CONDITION Freight Rail Vision: Rail Users(persons or businesses who use the rail system for the movement of goods), communities( they utilize the rail system to attract business), Network Provider(they own, operate and maintain the rail system and provide rail service to the users).

CLASS I RAILROAD DISTRIBUTION

ABOVE: The Illinois Rail Freight System is comprised of 45 railroads including 7 Class I railroads, 3 regional railroads, 26 short line railroads, and 9 terminal carriers.

Railroads by Class: Class I Railroads are defined by the Federal Surface Transportation Board as having more than $398.7 million of annual carrier operating revenue.

Class II are Regional railroads and are defined as having annual revenue of between $31.9 million and $398.7 million.

Class III are Short‐line railroads and are defined as having annual revenue of less than $31.9 million per year.

Terminal, or switching railroads, are a sub‐category of Class III railroads which provide pick‐up and delivery service within a specified area.

FINDING: Strategy plan--Explore Nature Considering the rich natural resource in New Piasa Chautauqua, we can build some activity places adjusting to those valuable natural resources, such as woods, creeks, plants, animals,etc, to improve its identity. In this case, people would have a special experience with nature which they would not have in the busy cities and also, those activities could encourage children to feel, to touch, to explore nature.

NATURAL RESOURCE ANALYSIS

BEFORE

BOTTOM LEFT & ABOVE: Forest is a prefect place for people explore nature. Children could have many kind of activities to learn bravery when they are facing the world. Furthermore, it provides an excellent change for children to be closed with nature, to communicate with nature, to experience how to get along with nature, especially when we are dealing with a more serious and crucial environmental habitat currently. Adult could have more exiting activities in the forest, like walking in the sky-walk, trying to robe-way, camping on the tree, etc. This experience would be unforgettable, since people could seeing such different and refreshing views of Chautauqua.

FILL AREA OF CUT AND FILL: 4,756.64 M 2

MASTER PLAN By analyzing the potential activities and topography, I decide to build up a trip along the mountain in New Piasa Chautauqua in order to help residents engaging with nature with different experiences.

There are five selected activities spaces along the trial, which are rope nets area, garden, handworks shelter, scramble poles area, and cabin, to strengthen the relationship between people and nature in Chautauqua. Also, the wilderness environments and adventure activities would provide people with unforgettable experiences.

ROPE NETS AREA: The rope nets connect with trees high and low, children could climb on the net for fun as well as adult could lie on the net for rest.

GARDEN: Planting ornamental flowers and vegetable to create more seasonal landscape view. Furthermore, planting some special plants to attract animals. In this case, people would have more opportunities to get close with animals.

HANDWORKS SHELTER: In a wooden shelter, people would have a semi-open space for hand-making activities, like dyeing and crafts making.

SCRAMBLE POLES AREA: Organizing numbers of wooden poles in the woods so that people could climb between those poles CABIN: Five little cabins on the hilltop, and each of them serves as activity room, kitchen, bedroom, indoor wading pool, rest room.

Thus, children could stay overnight in those cabins.

REGIONAL PLANNING

EXISTING WATERBODY ANALYSIS

Basing on the regional planning, we are informed that the site is located on the developing center of Smart and Eco City, which also is the landscape structural center. Furthermore, when design this park, we should pay more attention on intelligent and water experiences.

The Smart and Eco City has various kinds of waterbody, which is one of the main characteristic of it, like river, land, channel, reed marshes, ponds, etc. Those waterbody have diverse shape and they gather on the both side of Dongjing River forming the landscape impression and symbol of the area.

However, according to the research expect of Guanlian Lake, Wulang Lake, Shushan Lake and Chuanjiang Lake, which is going through the site, all the other waterbody have seriously polluted. The worst, water quality of Tongshun River is the bad V kind of water.
