EUMUNDI STATE SCHOOL – LEARNING CENTRE Collaborate at Form Landscape Architects Site: Eumundi, Queensland This project is the first DA project I am involved with during work, my role includes understanding lead landscape architect’s hand sketch sections and rendered three of them, with the work flow of AutoCad drawing and Photoshop drawing, those sections are used in the final package sending to the client.

SHANGHAI NORTHBOUND MUTI-USE PLAZA Collaborate at Form Landscape Architects Site: Shanghai, China The project just finished concept design stage when I participated all over the process, including flying to Shanghai for the formal presentation to the client, now it’s under schematic design stage after its CD approval. My role in this project consists of visualizing lead landscape architect’s design intention, revising and adding details to the design on top of sketch drawings. I am responsible for all the section drawings, part of the plan drawings (T1 Sky garden), also the detail modeling using Rhino and rendering perspectives and animation with Lumion.

Modeling the ‘tree canopy’ and reserve the edibility of the structure in terms of panel size and amount is the major contribution I achieved in this project, additionally I managed to model the inflated panel to simulate the canopy material. So, I successfully developed a customized script through grasshopper to visualize those design purposes. It saved us certain amount of time to test out the ideal structural combination we want, because it can be easily modified through playing with the established number slides which controls the related factors, also enabled the better outcome.

HEATH AND FIRE INTERFACING Graduate Thesis Project / Individual Work (07.2018-10.2018) Site: Anglesea, Victoria Supervisor: Mark Frisby - Director of FFLA HEATH GARDENING AND CLAIMING

FENCE-LESS VIEWING

The thesis project focuses on the interface issue of locally valued heathland and fire safety. It is initiated from a mapping process of overlaying the biodiversity value and fire risk area of the Anglesea, which helps selecting a residential interface of high potential value while showing the vulnerability with fire hazards as the site. After classifying the existing site into specific vegetation groups consisting of individual heathy vegetation typologies , the design research evaluates and compares the heath related ecological benefits with the fire hazards. The outcome of such assessment process helps adequate applying of design strategies as well as the evolving of design typologies for the optimization of overall benefits to the community and the original landscape documented in the Ecological Vegetation Classes (EVC) of Victoria. It highlights the positive influence from the community and utilizes the fire scenario as the catalyst of engaging programs rather than the sign of destruction, offering an innovative approach for re-thinking about the bushfire issue as part of undeniable Australian Landscape through landscape architecture.

The project received a total mark of 95/100 from the thesis jury of Melbourne School of Design, also being nominated to the 2018 Hassell Traveling Scholarship (which is an annually held scholarship for awarding one student, selecting from 20 most distinctive thesis projects of this profession in Australia).

IMPACT FROM THE FIRE PROCESS

COMPETITIVE ELIMINATION

The longer overstorey dominants monopolies light and soil resources during periods uninterrupted by fire, the greater the probability that understorey species will be eliminated from the site, leading to a decline in diversity of the community (Specht and Morgan 1981;Burrell 1981;Keith and Bradstock 1994).

WILDLIFE SURVIVAL

The occurrence and timing and fire ,as a germination cue, may be crucial in the recovery of susceptible species with long-live seed banks (Bradstock,2002).

CINNAMON FUNGUS THREAT

Cinnamon Fungus (Phytophthora cinnamomi) is an introduced pathogen that invades plant roots, of susceptible species preventing water transport in the root systems, which results in death or severe drought effects(McMahon,2002).
