Personal statement

09/2019-06/2020

I think of the landscape as a mirror. Born in the 21st century, after witnessing the changes in the social industry, I consider that the landscape would reflect the next level of goals after people's basic needs, such as living, are met. However, many people around me have misconceptions about the discipline of landscape architecture, even though they understand that they are deeply affected by its inconveniences. Therefore, showing the natural value that I am interested in, such as how to improve the areas affected by climate disasters, to the public is the original intention of my interest in this subject. Through studying this project, I can cultivate my comprehensive thinking that connects the design of individual landscape plots with the overall urban planning strategy. As the threat of climate change grows, the need for sustainable design and metrics to ensure that entire communities reduce their carbon footprint globally should be at the forefront of every aspect of our design projects. The program will allow me to think about strategies for dealing with different types of landscapes and equip me with the knowledge and skills to engage in discussions on professional issues. After completing the study of the project, in addition to becoming a qualified landscape architect, I hope that I can provide better suggestions for the study of urban resilience and climate change in landscape design guidance when communicating with other disciplines to contribute to the city and the world contribute to sustainable development. At this moment, I am honored that you can open and read my portfolio carefully and listen to my stories about landscapes in different regions of the world.
