Acknowledgement of Country

We respectfully acknowledge and pay our respects to the Bidjigal People, who have been the traditional custodians of the unceded lands, waters, and skies on which our campus is situated. We honor and recognize the enduring presence and wisdom of the Bidjigal Elders, both past and present, and their invaluable connection to this vibrant landscape.

We deeply appreciate the opportunity to learn from the Bidjigal People, as they graciously share their values, language, customs, and profound knowledge of the Australian landscape with us. This generous act allows us, as landscape architects, to gain a richer understanding of the intricate relationships between people, culture, and the environment.

As landscape architects, we recognize that we have a responsibility to listen, learn, and advocate for the rights and aspirations of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. We are humbled by the wisdom and resilience of the Bidjigal People and remain dedicated to the journey of reconciliation, fostering a more inclusive and sustainable future for all.

I am Linzhi Li from China, I completed my undergraduate degree in Landscape Architecture in China and I am currently in my second year of my Masters in Landscape Architecture at unsw.

Since I was a child, I have believed that one's life should be dedicated to realising one's true self and freeing one's mind. When I was introduced to Landscape Architecture, I realised that it could be used as a medium in the real world, as I was in constant dialogue with myself while studying the course.

The most interesting thing about landscape architecture for me is that it is so all-encompassing. It gives you access to history, literature, philosophy, geography and more, and ultimately the opportunity to put projects into practice that actually improve human life and maintain the health of nature. In a way, it's the perfect major for me, allowing me to develop my interests while making a real difference to the world and gaining a sense of achievement.

My strengths, which correspond to my interests, are my inclusiveness and my ability to observe and learn from life and combine it with landscape architecture. Secondly, one of my strengths is my ability to work collaboratively and coordinate the relationship and division of labour between the design team in the pre-study and post-study stages.

As an international student from China, I came to Australia to study and work in landscape architecture because I appreciate Australia's wild and nature-first approach to design as a whole. Australia shows a strong appreciation for history and nature, but at the same time gives its inhabitants plenty of freedom and does not want to control everything through design. Secondly, I wanted to experience the very different cultural differences and commonalities between the two countries and to broaden my horizons so that I could one day rise to the top of the landscape industry.

I think the one thing that remains constant in the landscape industry is its role as a bridge between humans and nature, and in the future, as urbanisation comes to an end and the artificial intelligence industry develops, I think the future opportunity for the landscape industry lies in the combination with emerging technologies, such as landscape responsive technology and the Internet of Things, and then providing a flexible element to cities in response to changes in urban infrastructure, buildings and looking at each home as a unique and undefined individual.

From a wider perspective, the future challenges facing the landscape are global warming, resource depletion and the threat of war. The solution to these problems is not only a matter for one industry, but the landscape should act as a moderator to improve the world in a subtle way.

PROJECT 01

ROCKDALE WETLAND CORRIDOR, SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA

--The southernmost areas of Hawthorne Street Natural Area and Rotary Park and Tonbridge Street Reserve

Precedent: South Eveleigh Community Rooftop Garden, Sydney

Theories: 'Ethnic identity with in the community'

Year 2, Term 1

2023. 03 --- 2023. 05

Rockdale Wetland Corridor in Bayside Council, Sydney, was used as my research site for the three-month process of Capstone studio Part 1. The focus of this studio was to investigate how urban landscape systems influence and shape urban settlements.

Rockdale Wetland Corridor is part of the Bayside priority green grid corridors spatial framework and is also part of the first phase of the M6 tunnel construction. Its significant location has the potential to radiate throughout southern Sydney. The corridor is also bordered by Botany Bay, which has unique ecological characteristics and community components that are of great development value.

As a member of the studio, I chose the southernmost areas of Hawthorne Street Natural Area and Rotary Park and Tonbridge Street Reserve as the study site. I needed to activate this area while linking it to the other members' areas so that the Rockdale Wetland Corridor could be designed as a whole.

The reference point for my design is the Ethnic identity wihin the community, which aims to build a sense of community through the diversity of plants. The design principle is responding to the cultural backgrounds of different residents with plants to strengthen their sense of community identity.

4 pavilions

-Four gazebos with seating benches are good infrastructure, they are concentrated on the west side of the site, encouraging people to stay here

There are only pedestrian passages at the north and south ends of the site, and the connection between the residential area and the site is not strong

The diversity of plants in community gardens are inherently edible, medicinal, ornamental, palpable and smellable, and these characteristics bring different identities and behavioural patterns to visitors to community gardens. The combination between these two elements can strengthen the sense of connection and identity of community residents, thus creating a sense of community belonging.

-Firstly, the site is well accessible and as one of the few open.

Low density residential area

-there are pathways between the buildings and direct access to the city's arterials into the site, facilitating connections between residents -the grade of acidic sulfate soil on the east side of the site is low, while the grade on the west side is higher, which is not suitable for large-scale infrastructure construction

Life service building

-can contribute to healthy and well-functioning communities

Tonbridge Street Reserve

-the open and flat field provides a base for multiple people to carry out activities

Tonbridge Street Kids Playground

-adjacent to urban roads, its safety is guaranteed by trees and buffer areas

Football gate

-Helps encourage movement among residents and create a sense of community through shared activities

Low Food Risk. Precinct

-The salt marsh area and some areas on the left side of the park are at risk of flood erosion of 0.15-0.4m, other areas are not affected

ecosystems in the northern and southern spaces of the site provide the conditions for different plants to be planted, and the space will guide people to bring together and exchange their tangible and intangible results, thus creating new community outcomes. This is a sufficient condition for the establishment of a sense of belonging to the community.

Precedent: Southport Broadwater Parklands, Gold Coast

Theories: 'Coexist with water and maintain balance'

Year 1, Term 2

Studio 4: Constructed Ecologies

2023. 06 --- 2022. 08

Individual

For this three-month project, studio4 has selected the salt pan creek corridor, which is within the control of bankstown council and canterbury council in sydney, as the study area. this area is also covered by the floodplain management of these two councils, which is part of the larger floodplain management australia program. the focus of this study is on how to mitigate flooding caused by stormwater erosion and scouring in the area.

The Salt Pan Creek open space corridor, which connects Bankstown to the Georges River, is an important open space corridor in the area, with significant ecological communities, mangroves, wetlands, recreational facilities and walking and cycling trails on both sides of the creek.

As a member of the studio, I chose the Bankstown Shopping Center And Adjacent Transport Corridors as the study site. My design intention was to reshape the relationship between stormwater and the city and the local population, making stormwater work for people while respecting it.

My design frame of reference is Coexist with water and maintain balance which aims to mitigate the impact of stormwater runoff on the commercial area and surrounding walkways through ecological rainwater ponds and landscape engineering practices, thus enhancing the connectivity of the area with other urban areas.

MASTER DESIGN PLAN

Grass block pavers are high-strength paver made entirely of concrete with permeable properties that allows lawns to grow. The pavement is very suitable for use in parking spaces.

Due to the abundant existing plants in the site, the newly planted plants of Eucalyptus camaldulensis with appropriate size were selected to provide shade while ensuring the activity space for pedestrians and cars.

H: 5m W: 3m

To cope with the effects of flood erosion and stormwater runoff, sidewalk paving should be made with waterproof paving materials.

wood-plastic

Using gravity and relying on terrain to build /basins for rainwater harvesting from high to low can effectively store and purify rainwater.

Adding small street lights throughout the complete pedestrian and cycleway system is especially important to bring light to the space under bridges.

At the bottom of both sides of the railway track, bioswales are built almost running through the whole site in the east-west direction, and the permeable pavement and basins are connected to it through soft permeable pipes, so that these bioswales have the function of transporting and attenuating rainwater.

Reference:

In the large amount of hard pavement in the site, some areas not used for traffic can be transformed into green space.

Replaced the original traffic barrier markings on the road with green barriers to make it more effective at slowing cars as they approach zebra crossings.

PROJECT 03

WATER SENSITIVE URBAN DESIGN

Theories: 'Technology For Designed Ecologies'

RAINBOW STREET ANZAC PARADE

The project consisted of a three-month comprehensive study with a total of two focuses. The first focus was on the use of landscape technology. A specific site at the intersection of Rainbow Street and Anzac Street, adjacent to the University of New South Wales, was selected as the primary area of investigation to improve the urban environment, while separately focusing on the advanced application of landscape technology without regard to the study site.

The second focus was to explore materials that can be applied to a variety of indoor and outdoor scenarios in relation to water sensitive design. The main objective was to investigate the practical application of water-sensitive related earthworks strategies in an urban context.

Individual

The main objective is to study water-sensitive related earthwork strategies and the practical application of advanced and environmentally friendly materials in urban environments.

The project selected the urban hard area and three nearby intersections, and carried out targeted design interventions on them, aiming to enhance functionality and aesthetics. The goal is to create spaces for pedestrians and motorists that are safer and in harmony with water. Plant species that can improve water quality, paving materials that can be used for indoor stair restoration, and outdoor road paving materials are then explored.

During my three months of exploration, I extensively researched the application of technology in the landscape industry in relation to watersensitive design, including topography, existing infrastructure and earthworks.

BIOSWALE DESIGN SELECTION OF PLANTS

RAINBOW STREET ANZAC PARADE

1. First of all, according to the direction of the contour line and the height difference, the bioswale is built in the lower left corner of the impervious area

2. Based on known areas of seepage, adjust the shape and size of the ecological wetland to match it.

3. In order to make the ecological wetland play a better role, it is also necessary to choose the plant type and distribution structure reasonably.

BARRIER-FREE ACCESS AND WATERPROOF MATERIAL DESIGN

BARRIER-FREE ACCESS

WATERPROOF MATERIAL DESIGN

1. There are many uneven skins and deep cracks on the surface of the stone.

3. Fine sand powder is added to the liquid in the groove and artificially leveled, and the cracks and the liquid in the groove become solid at this stage, forming a preliminary repair of the staircase.

SOLUTION

Design principle: On the premise of ensuring the smooth passage of barrier-free roads, the route can pass through trees as much as possible. The visual and olfactory feelings brought by plants can effectively reduce the psychological barriers of disabled people.

Total Ramps length = 10 m+6.8m+3.2+10=30m

Max slope = 8%

Ramps width = 1.60 m

Landing width 1 = 1.60 m

2. KY50 Stone Sealant Mercerized Protective Film naturally flows into grooves and cracks on the surface of the staircase and fills these spaces.

4. By repeating the above steps several times, and finally manually leveling, the staircase becomes flat and sturdy again

4. Apply a layer of paint evenly along the vertical direction with a rubber stick and let dry for 3-4 hours.

NOTICE: Avoid rain moisture and high humidity when painting.

5. A second coat is applied to give the stairs a second layer of paint and allow it to dry completely for 24 hours before being ready for use.

Group work

Statement of Individual Contributions: I was involved in this project throughout, focusing on the plant configuration, public space typology design, and street design panels for the study site. We were a group of four members, each contributing similarly in terms of design concepts and drawing patterns.

The study site for this studio: WHARF STREET PLAZA is located in front of the Tweed Mall on the Gold Coast, Australia, with great potential for landscape development. With its prime location and high footfall, the square offers the opportunity to create an attractive urban space that is both functional and aesthetically pleasing.

In this Studio, a three-month design exploration was carried out in a collaborative group mode. Under a broad research theme of public realm, the design principle of "engaging people to gather and experience water sustainability" was upheld. Through careful landscape planning and design, we endeavoured to create an engaging focal point and place to socialise.

We aim to create a space that invites people to stop, connect and enjoy socialising, while providing a combination of aesthetics and functionality.

At the same time, we incorporated water sustainability into the core of the design. By incorporating innovative water management strategies and design elements, we seek to make the efficient use and conservation of water an essential part of the design. We focus on water recycling, rainwater harvesting, and water feature design to achieve sustainable water use and environmental friendliness.

VEGETATION STRUCTURE ANALYSIS

The selection of plants planted on the streets is based on adaptation to acidic soil conditions and to climate characteristics with heavy rainfall. Therefore, most tree species come from local native tree species, and on this basis, the choice of tree species is more from a functional point view.

AT THE EDGE OF DIFFERENT AREAS

Wodyetia bifurcata with a high canopy was used on both sides of the light rail track, which did not affect the safety of the light rail. Eucalyptus oreades. Delonix regia and Callistemon citrinus were chosen for both functionality and aesthetics, and their blooms will be set up at two important passages.
