AMPHIBIOUS LIFE
Located at the entrance of the Nanjing section of the Yangtze River, San Shan is a monument with a long history. Problems: The illegal sand extraction causes following problems:(1) Simplification of the industry(2) Difficulty of government taxation (3) The health of workers and the lives of the local residents are affected (4) Sanshan historical sites are gradually destroyed (5) Flood, drowning and other security risks. (6) The ecological environment has been severely damaged Main Features: In view of this, the government gets to the root of the problem and decides to close the factories, but this move will put the workers out of work and affect social stability. To address this issue, we consider the ecological, cultural, and social aspects comprehensively. Therefore, we propose a diversified solution to give the site more functions, so that it can adapt to the changes in urbanization and the natural environment. Specifically, we redesign the site, which will hopefully restore the ecological environment of the site and revive its culture and function. Innovation Points: 1. Establish a levee. While blocking floods, it can also use floodwater to provide assistance for the periodical ecological restoration of the site, which reflects the flexibility of the site to deal with natural disasters. 2.Establish ecological fish ponds. This measure can help solve the employment problems of workers, as well as gradually improve the fragmented ecological environment caused by excessive sand extraction.
