WATER PURIFYING & ECOLOGICAL CYCLE This project by studying the ecological infrastructure in the landscape design practice, committed to combining temporal industrial sites, cultural and historical background and the potential ecological restoration ability, giving the site based on the dynamic relationship between the natural and industrial. Mine, farmland and forest together organically as a means of repair and productive landscape, giving impetus to the development of tourism, explore a new mode of industry and provide diversied activities experience for local residents and potential. Ecological restoration, our use of energy and material needs of mining, the mine into positive rooted in natural ecological pool, according to the location of dierent mines, functionally divided into aeration tank and articial wetland. Farmland, as the product of ancient survival needs, is introduced into the landscape as a secondary purication zone, which will be rebuilt on the abandoned industrial building framework. The combination of agriculture and farmland as tertiary purication area is a productive landscape on the edge of chaohu lake. Combined with the minimal intervention of landscape intervention, jiangzhou shipyard and other sites may be linked as ecological corridors in the future.

Since the shipyard is still in use, the design is only incorporated into a circular air corridor in the space, which can facilitate visitors' visit without affecting the daily operation of the factory. Visitors will take the tour train through the factory district into the central tourist area of the south. On a tour train, visitors can view the beauty of lake chaohu and see the shipyard landscape where they are working.

PRODUCTIVE PARKLAND

Agricultural planting and seedling nursery are mainly used to provide tourists with a productive sightseeing experience. Economic crops in the park can also be used as a source of income for local residents.

The rice farming is linked to the wetland by the lake.

Paddy fields provide a growing environment for the fish, and the small wetland fish pond can be used as a tourist leisure project or for production.

INDUSTRIAL HERITAGE RENOVATION LANDSCAPE

NATURE EXPERIENCE LANDSCAPE

FOREST WETLAND

The quarry on top of the mountain, after capping, can naturally turn into a forest wetland. The rain water can be collected and deposit.

VILLAGE & AIRBNB

Local villages have been preserved, and villagers can cooperate with the park to transform vacant houses into youth hostels.

Such a practice allows local residents to increase their income while tourists can experience the most direct local customs.

Industrial trial

COMMERCE & MARKET

Abandoned factory skeleton will be preserved, the empty space can be transformed into commercial center, and it also can be a local farmer's market, tourists and local residents can be in this business.

QUARRY GARDEN

Abandoned hillside mines can be used to collect rainwater and provides with different visual experience. At the same time, special terrains can be designed to slide the slopes to provide tourists with interesting and

AERATION WETLAND

The hillside pit, after capping, can be used as a natrual aeration pond.

ART & PLAYGROUND

The building provides a playground for visiting visitors, while a spiraling circular runway can provide a better view of the landscape, as well as fitness. Abandoned materials and machinery can be turned into special equipment for children and adults. Diversed handcrafting studios provide tourists with unique experience with local culture.

EDUCATION CORNER

A workshop for popular science crops and an industrial museum, the area provides visitors with leisure Tours and a variety of sightseeing experiences.

WETLAND

After natural settlement and aeration, the water is further filtered through underground water pipes to flow into this wetland.

SITE ANALYSIS

PLAN This project focuses on three characteristics of the site, flood control, activity, and transportation.

Facilities

The concept of FLOOD CONTROL, which represents using a different way to control the flood of boneyard creek. It would be formed different view by the different flood level. When boneyard creek water in the low level, the walking path which closes to the river is exposed, so that people would approach water closely; if the boneyard creek water in the medium level, the biking path would be exposed; if the water in the high level, the walking path on the top would just be exposed. In the different water level, it would shape different path and different landscape view.

Rantoul

The concept of ACTIVITY, which represents adding community activities. By connecting to the other three park around the site, crystal lake park, leal park and scoot park, it forms a wave of landscape type, lawn-forest-lawn-wetland-river-lawn-forest, which would form more activity space for communities and add a connection between communities. Moreover, by connecting all of these parks, it shapes a green corridor for boneyard creek.

The concept of TRANSPORTATION, which represents improving the condition of “Green Commuting�, biking and walking environment. Moreover, it enhances the connection through boneyard creek. By planning the routes for the bicycle and walking, the concept also creates some of the major notes, such as park or ecological parking lot, which would strengthen the landscape view beside the routes.
