01 SHARING TIME Charlottesville, VA | Sept-Dec, 2018

Charlottesville, especially the area from Downtown Mall, across Friendship Court and till Moores Creek has over time became full of energy. Various public activities emerged, overlapped and interacted to rich the

memory of this city. Pollocks Branch, which contained the lived memories of interaction with river water, was buried over time. Above ground, if we go along 4th Street, there are decreasing opportunities of extension of public space. Thus residents go across the city cursorily without interacting with the site. Friendship Court was gradually mute and dislocated from the city.

To help residents feel that they are a crucial part of this city and realize that they belong to there, my suggestion is to create memories along the transect. To create memories, I’d like to build a time-sharing relationship between the residents, the site and the city. Residents, vegetation, water, and food…are operating multiple time frames. Once the time frames interact and overlap, public activities emerge and memories are created, we are able to share time with Friendship Court, and eventually the voice from Friendship Court can be heard.

HOW TIME FLOWS IN FRIENDSHIP COURT? Daily, weekly, seasonally, annually... Different time frames are overlapping and interacting with residents. We appreciate both the flow of passing time, and the singularity of special moments.

We create, use, sense, contemplate and grow with site from multiple versions. Consistent precious memories are created when we build the dialogue between nature and living processes.

“The form of the city is seen as the result of place and the storylines that connect the place and all those who dwell within it.”

“And aesthetic of urban design must therefore be rooted in the normal process of nature and of living.”

——Anne Whiston Sprin, [The Poetics of City and Nature: Towards a New Aesthetic for Urban Design]

The comprising and interwoven processes of nature and culture here construct both a sense of identity and a sense of place. A sense of dwelling is then simulated.

02 EDIBLE RIVER Beijing, China | June-Aug, 2016 Based on the background research about Beijing current water and food situation, I decide to propose a looped socio-ecological system, which could release the pressure about food price and resident-use water at the same time in Beijing. This project aims to motivate economy, ecology and society to interact to benefit each other, and eventually help the city function sustainability. In addition, I propose an application based on mobile phone to help residents consider the city farmland as part of life.

An edible city is generated along the river side.

The site is one branch of Dongba River in Beijing, flowing into Bohai Sea in the end. It is an important place to manage the human wastewater from surrounding communities. Communities and infrastructures for entertainment are main structures around the site, which means most people who passing by the site are residents.

They are facing problems of food and water.

Food Price Camprarison between Market 1&2

“We have never seen food’s true potential, because it is too Big to see. But viewed laterally it emerges as something with Phenomenal Power to transform not just landscapes, but political structures, public spaces, social relationships, and cities.”

Part of food of the two markets is from the Jingdong Grand Canal vegetable base. From the comparison of the two markets’ food price, a preliminary conclusion can be made that, the Longer distance between market and food source, the Higher food price.

BACKGROUND 2

As a typical modern city, most farmland in Beijing is placed in the suburbs, and most residental areas are placed in the city, and unprocessed food is transported by trucks to downtown markets.

However, the Long Distance and Traffic Jam bolcks the way of transporting food from suburb to downtown.

This part is near the freeway and the upriver part of the whole site, and the surrounding communities are smaller and fewer then other part. Thus, the farmland area is relatively small.

Partially waste water mixes with river flows to the next part.

Based on the filtration from plantation and backflow, water from upriver can be further puried

Part3 Food Process & Sale

Markets, restaurants and shops are setted in the middle of the site. Residents can go shopping there or bring vegetables to be processed.

Community

This part is consist of dense communities and greenland, and has a hugh demand of food. Thus the farmland area is relatively larger.

Based on the filtration from part1 and part2, partial river water can be efficiently used for argriculture and resident-use.

Evolution of Dongba River

(REFERENCE: Wang Le. Study on the Historical Evolution of River Landscape in Beijing[J]. LA History, 2012(04), 57-60. )

The site is one branch of Dongba River in Beijing.

At first, the original site of Dongba river was a plain.

With erosion from flows and need for irrigation, gradually a river was formed in 13st century. Then because of natural disasters and man-made factors, the width and deepth fluctuated in the following centuries.

Now Dongba River is the main riverway to manage rain, households water and industrial water in Beijing, so it is widened and improved with hard bank to relieve potential flooding pressure.

It generally loses the characteristic of nature.

Agriculture

To better connect the residents, and enhance the advantages of this landscape design about city farmland, I additionally made an application design.

Provide information about food and cooking, encourage nature education, provide distribution service, share moments —— the four mian functions help users truly consider the city farmland as Part of Life.

STEP 1

Rain and ground water on the sidewalk would finally flows into the planter, where plants filter and transpire water.

STEP 2

Fortress plants protect guilds from invasive flora and fauna.

Remnant irrigation water flows through soil;Permeable material paves the way for stromwater to be collected.

STEP 3

Plants help to slow runoff and absorb some contaminants. The stone seep stablize banks and cool water through shading.

The sinked water enhances groundwater recharging.

03 RUN TO THE WORLD Beijing, China | Oct-Nov, 2016

This project takes the 2008 Olympic Marathon Competition route as site to reveal Beijing’s particular charm. It takes the Chinese dragon scales and different vision experience as inspiration, to provides athletes a fluent race, tourists an attractive traveling route, and citizens a better traffic condition. To the municipal construction, this project helps to enhance Beijing’s city identity, and offers an opportunity of green infrastructure.

Since the marathon route links several important scenic spots of Beijing in series, it has the potenial to be transformed as a Tourism Landmark. And based on the analysis of surrounding users and traffic, it would be a great chance to Release Traffic Pressure at the same time.

To ensure the oppotunity of green infrestructure in this project, the stromwater management system is setted along the road. Most stormwater flowing on the runway, bike lanes and vehicle road would be gathered. The planters would filter it preliminarily, then it would flow through the pipes, to be further puried for other use.

04 EPHEMERAL SHADE Charlottesville, VA | Sept-Dec, 2017 What can be used to portray a path? Topography, vegetation , water, ground material… ---- all the touchable physical elements. And we often ignore SHADE. Shade is interesting. It is intangible, but conveys various nature information. It comes from layered vegetation mesh work, but presents as single layer. It is temporary, but everlasting. In simple terms, shade is produced when something blocks the light of sun, which means the upper layers are projected to the ground. So in my project, the essence of shade is vegetation.

Therefore, shade changes with growing leaves, branches and truck every second, every day, every month, every year, and every growth period. It is ephemeral.

To study the shade more precisely, I pay attention to tree life cycle. The rule of first branch height and vegetation distance also help to figure out tree condition in certain environment.

After research, I acquire the key of manipulating shade quality. I am trying to provide countless possibilities of shade. Lighter, darker, crisper, fuzzier… Every moment is changing, every quality is growing. Constantly changing topography helps to achieve that goal, which is translated into the diamond-shape depressions. Every depression owns one special shade DESIGN LANGUAGE moment, and the free connection of depressions forms the path. Even if within one specific path, shade quality still changes with time. ItSHADE is ephemeral.

HOW TO UNPACK SOCIETY THROUGH LENS OF ENVIRONMENT?

United States is a country of immigrants.

The question of melting pot or salad bowl is always a question within exclusion/ inclusion in the social context.

As a landscape architect we cannot directly deal with social issues, but we can propose environmental concerns and strategies to achieve the goal of better society. It’s essentially the diverse cultures and communities from many nations have contributed to the creation of hybrid cultures that reflected in the social processes.

Taking the perspective of Chinese immigrants in Sacramento, I’d like to zoom in to think about where are they, where are they going, and where contains potential environmental issues. And then propose a socio-ecological loop and a series of stitches to wind through Sacramento and knit together different cultures.

I’d like to take Chinese immigrants as a lens and ‘guidebook’ to explore immigrants’ physical and mental living situation to further draw the group image of immigrants in Central Valley.
