Merging conflicts through exterior space design Preserving relics with new methods of gardening and installation Focusing on survival conditions and ecological friendship Combining greenings with events in undeveloped regions What if landscape and farming can be productive and interactive

Landscape can be more than just nature and ecology The opportunity to leave an indelible mark in cities is a privilege that should be treasured. This is why I take landscape design exceptionally seriously and appreciate innovative inspiration grounded on thorough thinking rather than monotonous assembly line work.

Five years of undergraduate study have sculpted my pursuit of adding practicalness and ecological features to the development of landscape design.

I desire to renovate and rejuvenate a regional area by the application of landscape devices along with the utilisation of the nature of the ecology, particularly its healing ability, on an urbanplanning level.

Having completed designs regarding both architecture and landscape, I have explored in detail of how to integrate and advance the interface of them. It is impossible to cut off the relation between them, instead, I work to integrate buildings into the environment, which stretch and diversify the surroundings as a tree. Most notably, intense work in two real-world projects has enlightened me about which path to go. The experience not only strengthened my teamwork spirit, but reshaped my understanding of the future of landscape design. I have since developed an inclination towards the ecological effects of landscape and considering how the landscape changes the living environment, as well as emphasising the social and experiential nature of the landscape in the urban space.

We hope to achieve a balance between the production of consumables and products through the fish-vegetable symbiosis system, and realize the development of clean agricultural industry with zero pollution.

In the Aquaponics, the water discharged from the aquaculture pond enters the vegetable cultivation system in a cyclic manner after being treated by the nitrification bed microorganisms. After the biological absorption and filtration of the vegetable roots, the treated wastewater is returned to the cultivation pond.A closed loop is formed between the cultivation pond, nitrification bed, and planting tank, which is a low-carbon production model with sustainable circulation and zero emissions.

Valley of Hump Xi'an was once the world's commercial and trade center, and its internal street pattern is divided into "well" characters. We use "well" as the basic unit to represent the meaning of openness and communication. Camels carry silk through the sand sea, which is a symbol of the "Silk Road". We abstracted it as a design form and named it "peak and valley" in hopes of carrying a thousand years of history. "Fenggu" is the same as "peak and valley", expressing the admiration and inheritance of the "Westward Migration Spirit" of last century.

We use "wells" as the basic unit to construct the form of "peaks and valleys" and express the spiritual connotation that meets the needs of the times with the cultural elements inherited from Qiangu and show the "vigorousness" of China in the new era.

Savage Resistance We use hexagonal snowflakes as the matrix, interspersed in multiple directions and use staggered force to fix the shape. As for the snowflake patching method, we choose a 60° plug-in method with four corners extending to form a basic type of parallelogram. The core backbone is defined as a "single layer-double layer-single layer" way to overlap the columns.

The space is rich and colorful through the changes in the sense of hierarchy and the sense of rhythm in the shape, and achieves a variety of visual impact, with a barbaric growth.
