Parks and recreation have three values that make them essential services to communities. Everyone deserves to live in a clean, healthy environment because the environment around us affects our health. Green spaces are a solid reflection of the quality of life in a community. We know that poor people and people of color are more likely across the United States to live near polluting factories and are exposed to more pollution than wealthier communities and white communities. Many Los Angeles County neighborhoods have business and industry mixed in with homes, schools, daycares, and senior care facilities.
Many areas in Los Angeles suffer from inadequate access to park space or underfunded recreational facilities, which has only contributed to geographic health inequities. According to the National Recreation and Parks Association, parks bring economic value to a community by raising local property values. Green space improves not only health, wellness, and academic performance. Green buildings provide an environment where people are more comfortable, less prone to illness, and more focused on working. Improving access to parks can increase children’s time and decrease their risk of chronic diseases. Adults who live closer to parks and green spaces report lower stress and fatigue, improved mental health, and better self-rated health.
With that realization, this green project is the fair treatment meaningful and beneficial to all people in the Chinatown and surrounding neighborhood regardless of race, color, national origin, or income regarding environmental justice development.

Biomimetic Co-living Shelter
Due to industrial development and pollution in Taiwan over the last 15 years, land competition among different sectors has become intense, and illegal land use is common. Many cases of mudflats being filled up for economic and industrial projects damaged the habitat, especially smaller plots that attracted less attention. Illegal land use and human pressure also caused the remaining habitat for migratory birds to decrease rapidly and impact the ecosystem.
I designed this project to mimic the mangrove to bind and rebuild soil and provide shelter for humans and a habitat for birds.
Many types of Modulars for birds depend on their size, habitat height, and social status.
• Taiwan is a mid-point stop on one of the world’s eight major migratory routes and a wintering ground for numerous waterbirds from Siberia, China, Japan and Korea on their way further south.
• Waterbirds habitats destruction caused by industrial development and pollution.
• There have been many cases of wetlands being filled up for economic and industrial projects that damaged the habitat, especially smaller plots that attracted less attention.

This project is design for USC Marshall School of Business was founded in 1920. Marshall School of Business has capitalized on its location in Los Angeles, a global center for technology and international trade. Including the top noted staff in the business, technology, and global connectivity, the school of business, continues to create transformative new programs for students worldwide to provide a top elite business school. USC Marshall School of Business program focuses on the professional discussion between students and professors. The design offers different sizes of rooms so the student can have the flexibility to choose the area to discuss depending on the size of the party. The building is the extension of the school of business and can be an advertisement to attract people and represent a school of USC. The architectural design is to bring the interior space out and bring the exterior space indoors. The Choice of material combines steel and concrete slab that provide fewer columns with more substantial support. Large floor-to-ceiling high exterior glass walls make the interior environment without limit boundary. The glass provides transparency that can blur the boundary between the interior and exterior. The zigzag form also creates the spatial relation between indoor and outdoor. It took from the shape of breakout room, which is the essential part of the marshall school of business offer to both students and instructors. The roof space provides a rest area and provides a green roof to create shade and emphasize the natural beauty of USC.

Secret Garden is located in Florence Graham, Los Angeles 90001. This community aims to provide a natural aesthetic to both residents and nearby neighborhoods while creating a hidden gem for families with children and dog owners.
The first level is a public shade garden that provides a cooling recreational area for both residents and the surrounding neighborhood. The second level is a semi-private resident gym and lounge that allows residents to bring their friends to enjoy the time above the shade garden. The third level is private residential units that allow residents to enjoy their zen.
This apartment community provides ten units with multiple floor plans, including studio, 1b1b, 2b1b, and 2b2b.

This building design aims for sustainability and affordable housing that provides low budget and long-term savings and is suitable for roommate arrangement. Nowadays, people are busy with their lifestyles, and it is so hard to have some personal space to chill out. There are two-unit inside this house sharing some spaces, but would not interrupt each other repeatedly. The windows limited the view of interior space so that residents would have their own space.

Human activities have seriously affected the climate. After the Industrial Revolution, the excess of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere caused global warming. Greenhouse gases are rapidly released, causing the rise of global average temperatures. With rising global temperatures, the continental glaciers in Antarctica and Greenland melt faster. Global warming dramatically reduces snow cover and sea ice, intensifies heavy rainfall, and raises sea levels. The idea of an amphibious house is to create an affordable, sustainable, flood-resilient home providing temporary shelter and emergency housing. The footprint of an amphibious house is about 160 sq. ft.—compact enough to be built in the backyard. The house is a 1b1b with a compact kitchen and underneath storage for emergencies. It could be an extra modular backyard dwelling sitting on the ground and become an emergency shelter when a flood comes. As well as its flood-resistant feature, the house has its own water and electrical systems that prevents situations without water and power.
