Time has consistently progressed in a linear and irreversible manner, often resulting in the eventual oblivion or concealment of relics from the past. However, should we simply abandon places or objects that were once glorious & magnificent?

In this portfolio, I aim to convey my deep concern for the underappreciated, neglected, or abandoned aspects of the past, which have intrigued me throughout my college years.

From an abandoned factory , a dilapidated railroad, and an island full of discarded plastics, I am trying to explore how urban design can revitalize abandoned things by transforming them to create more time-effective spaces without losing the traces of history.

——Islanders Unite in Efforts to Repurpose Marine

Debris for the Revitalization of Hermit Crab Dwellings, Reinstating the Island's Pristine Ecological Balance Type: Individual Work Location: Cocos Keeling Islands, Australia Duration: 08/2023-09/2023 Area: 14.2 square kilometers

When scientists embarked on an expedition to the Cocos Islands in the Indian Ocean for research purposes, they were confronted with a disheartening reality: 570,000 hermit crabs had perished due to entangled plastics. This surge in plastic waste had inflicted significant harm upon the wildlife habitat, creating a profound threat to the local environment and the survival of the native inhabitants. In response to this crisis, a transformative concept emerged: recycling and repurposing plastic waste to create sanctuaries for hermit crabs. This pioneering initiative also introduced novel plastic materials to sustain the mangrove ecosystem, fostering a harmonious cycle of ecological well-being. As a result, not only did this multi-faceted approach revitalize the environment, but it also catalyzed/propelled the growth of the local tourism, bringing forth positive economic prospects.

By engaging waste collectors across diverse contexts and generating employment opportunities for the island's residents, plastic materials that currently taint the environment will be reconfigured into shells suitable for hermit crabs' habitation. This innovation aims to achieve more than just optimizing the plastic barriers within the mangrove habitat. It embodies the overarching project aspiration of remediating plastic pollution, enhancing hermit crab survival rates, and harmonizing the aquatic flora and fauna within the expansive mangrove ecosystem.

This comprehensive ecological restoration framework will stimulate a thriving feedback loop, propelling both tourism and economic expansion among the island's inhabitants. In this approach, an island once threatened by an inundation of waste will be infused with renewed vitality and promise.

HABITAT PINBALLS ——A Sign And Alarm Bell About

Hong Kong’s Air Quality

Type:Individual Work Location: Mong Kok Road,HongKong, China Duration:09/2023-10/2023

As urbanization continues to advance in Hong Kong, natural green spaces are further eroded, and tall buildings obstruct air circulation, exacerbating smog, reducing visibility, and leading to a significant increase in ozone levels, resulting in severe air pollution.To address and raise awareness of this issue, we plan to construct an ecological tower in the densely populated city center of Mong Kok Road, designed to serve as an air-purifying structure.This tower is equipped with a natural chimney effect and various forms of ecological spheres that can adjust their positions in response to the city's air quality. Its primary purpose is to sensitize people to the importance of environmental quality and provide means of monitoring and purifying the air.

The building provides an exhilarating exploration experience with its three-dimensional maze-like structure, supported by slender columns. This unique design creates a sensation reminiscent of walking through a captivating tropical rainforest. The tower purifies the air through the use of natural ecological spheres, which monitor air quality on different floors. Excessive carbon emissions and poor air quality prompt an increase in these ecological spheres, obstructing visitor pathways to remind them of the environmental cost of excessive carbon emissions.

This tower is not merely an air-purifying structure, it serves as a platform to enhance public environmental awareness and alert people to the significance of air quality. Through exploration, interaction, and the ever-evolving architectural design, we aim to ignite public enthusiasm for air quality protection and collectively establish a closed-loop ecological system for reducing carbon emissions.

Through rotation and mirroring operations, five modules form the overall structure of the building and I intend to use these modules to break the traditional regular layout.

The human-shaped streamlines are like a maze, cleverly connecting the entire building and diversifying the paths.

At the same time, the ecological balls are wisely placed in the circulation, forming obstacles that block people's paths, thus requiring adjustments to the route.

Linear fusion

With the construction of the city, the original supply relationship has changed, the countryside began to be squeezed, and various elements of the city have been gradually established.

Linear disappearance

City growth reshaped supply networks, adapting goods and services to urban needs. This shift encouraged innovation, revolutionizing the economy 14 to meet modern demands.

RAILWAY TRANSFORMATION

In 1950, China's first railway, the Chengdu-Chongqing Railway, was completed, revolutionizing freight transportation and enhancing connectivity across the country.

After the 19th century, development led to mature allocation methods like high-speed rail and air freight. Railway transportation, once a dominant force, has gradually diminished, resulting in the abandonment of numerous railway lines.

In the post-pandemic era, we are trying to rebuild a new mode of production distribution, reimagining the railway as a new urban lifeline.

GRAIN PRODUCTION MAP The sharp rise in vegetable prices after COVID-19 pandemic

"The catagories of meals in the canteen have become less."

"Even the food is stored in the refrigerator,it is not enough to eat."

The closure policy during the COVID-19 pandemic and the regional transportation paralysis caused people in Shanghai to buy food in large quantities to stock up, which caused food prices to rise sharply. Because of a short shelf life being, the price of vegetables had the highest growth ratio : 50% of pre-epidemic prices.

2022 marks the beginning of heightened awareness of urban agrarianism in China.

COVID-19 pandemic raises awareness of developing urban agriculture GRAIN PRODUCTION MAP OF PROVINCES ON THE YANGTZE RIVER PLAIN IN 2021 Jiangsu, Anhui and Zhejiang Provinces Thanks to its large farmland in the countryside and its advanced production facilities, Jiangsu Province has the greatest grain production compared to other provinces and has a well-developed agriculture, which can achieve self-sufficiency and supply to the surrounding areas.

A public vision that is still in forethought The severe food stock crisis in urban areas has raised awareness of the need to stockpile food and vegetables. Experts believe that this experience should be used as a warning to develop urban agriculture and build food emergency lines that can be self-sufficient in the short term. The public has responded positively to this announce.

"Are we going to have another food crisis?."

Q1: Do you know the information about urban agriculture?

Only a relatively small number of people have heard of the concept of urban agriculture, and even fewer have a preliminary understanding of it through news networks. The level of awareness of the concept was generally consistent across age groups.

Q2: Do you know the information about rail transportation in our country?

Most people have a basic knowledge of railroad transportation through propaganda media and life experience, and some people have more understanding of it out of self-interest.

The younger the group , the higher the level of knowledge about railroad transportation.

The factory is strategically located, close to highways, Yangtze River and other transportation hubs. The terrain in the area is characterized by hills and there is a slope towards the south. The factory site is situated at an elevation higher than the flood control capacity, ensuring protection from flooding.

Additionally, the ground in the area exhibits good bearing capacity, providing a stable foundation for construction and infrastructure development.

EXISTING CONDITIONS

The project is located at No. 18 Taixi Road, Taishan New Village, Pukou District, Nanjing City, at the foot of Taishan Temple. In China, there are many similar small abandoned factories. Due to fierce market competitions caused by reforming and opening up, once prosperous production sites have now become large tracts of land lost in cities. In addition to the contamination of the soil, this place also seals the memories of early people and has now lost touch with the surrounding urban renewal.

This project aims to fully integrate the existing resources of the site through the design concept of "Wasteland Sprouts". Site pollution remediation is carried out through measures such as assessment of contaminated soil, soil solidification and water purification, as well as the construction of ecological nurseries.

While retaining and reviving the original memory history, we repair damaged buildings, introduce new symbols, create new green spaces, and stimulate new activity needs for past factory employees and surrounding residents. Reopening the area in an innovative way brings new life to the derelict building.
