SELF INTRODUCTION

I am graduated from the Master of landscape architecture program in the University of Hong Kong. From three years postgraduate study relevant to the field, the experience equipped me adequate professional field knowledge.

The unexpected epidemic since 2020s has brought me to a brand new study experience in learning and strengthened my softskills on communication, being flexible and particularly enhanced my research skills due to limitation of site visiting.

The crisis has also reminded myself as a future landscape architect, in what extend can I contribute to the society and public health? We could see people re-evaluate the importance of urban public space, we could see community bonding is important when people are being quarantined, we could see the society is slowly altering from the fragmentation, towards a more collective community. It is a sign that landscape architect is not only designing for aesthetic garden, but being a critical role to create healthy and connected space that brings people together. With my unique background in business, the experience also inspires me on the importance of interaction of people and nature as the preliminary goal of design.

Negotiation of landscape

Placemaking for mutual benefits in Lei Yue Mun

LEI YUE MUN, HONG KONG

Lei Yue Mun has rich historical and cultural context of being a fishing village in Hong Kong, as well as a quarry mining site in 1900s. People lived sustainably and achieved self-sufficiency with food production in the local. However, with the opening of economic in the 1980s, the village switched to separation of business and residents, while most business is targeting at tourists who come to enjoy seafood and the old and unique fishing villages atmosphere.

This project wants to recall the historical business model of bringing the daily life into productive landscape to empower the indigenous villagers who are still actively farming and fishing for their own living. Through a series of waterfront redesign, it rehabilitates the natural landscape to adapt sea-level rise and offers a space for community to regain their autonomy.

Climate resilient strategies are not only resisting to climate change, but seeking ways to live with it by “letting it flood” with facilities and landscape strategies to adapt to sea-level rise.

Seeking Alternative

Vertical landscape deck in Shek O

SHEK O, HONG KONG

Shek O is a famous tourist spot for the scenic breathtaking beach as a Utopia in Hong Kong, located at the South of Hong Kong Islands as the 7th stop of the island coastal trail. To improve the connection of Shek O to the remaining parts of coastal trail, the congested traffic and confused public transport are in the urge to replan to offer a smooth accessibility from Shek O to Tai Tam as well as Big Wave Bay.

Rather than proposing a masterplan of transportation routine, the design aims at utilising vertical building and landscape design to create space out of the crowded transportation hub at the centre of Shek O, as a mean to release community space back to the local residents and a mitigation to the traffic.

DESIGN STRATEGIES

The original waterfront promenade is demolished to restore as beach area and additional car park area. Elevated platform above the car park provides public space without depriving existing parking lots. It is then offering a clearer routes for different transportation to use the path, as well as release more pedestrian area back to people, instead of vehicles taking up most of the public area in Shek O center.

Minibus waiting for passengers causes traffic congestion and threat of accident

All vehicles share the single pathway until Shek O Road round-a-bout

Insufficient park lots in Shek O car park causes traffic congestion in Shek O Road and create a long queue that affects the public transport systems

BEFORE

The abandoned land can provide extra spacing for minibus and bus for drop off and pick-up

The free parking lots are between shops, residential and the promenade, which the narrow road next to it is the only pedestrian connection to the beach

Bus and minibus no longer need to go into Shek O promenade and affect by the traffic congestion there

AFTER

Signage to indicate pedestrianshared path to remind both drivers and walkers to be aware of the traffic condition

Open up existing under-utilised LCSD park as parking area

C

Pedestrian and vehicles need to share the same path

Wood sticks from the fallen tree are reused as decoration and fences of the elevated platform to reduce the need of transporation of materials.

Wood ceiling serves as transparency and sunlight penetration tools to effectively separate the layer at the same time reduce the use of artificial lighting devices.

Different layers are created within the elevated platform to create different users experience by the change of materials, landscape and furnitures.

A new bathroom is built to connect the ground level and the platform to shorten the distance of car park and existing bathroom.

The uppest level of the platform offers picnic table and chair for family to spend their time in a semi-closed area to retain privacy and precious family time.

Extra carpark area is designed with trees and planters to create a comfortable thermal effect as well as a mean to retain rainwater at typhoon season.

The transit area currently can only serve the car owners, with the design plan it can bring back the space to community as well as visitors as alternative public space for leisure.

Stairs within floral garden offers a peaceful moment for users to experience the nature with the sound of wave from the beach.

Imagination of historical monuments

CENTRAL, HONG KONG

The Hong Kong City Hall serving as a tradition cultural space since the 1960s is situated in the heart of Central connecting the Waterfront, monuments and even the future development of Site No.3. It is however underutilised as a cultural space and public space particularly the Edinburgh Place, which there are lacking programs to attract users since the reclamation of shoreline bringing people to the new waterfront. However, the project site has the great potential to draw people back through a series of enhancement, re-program and redesign to reposition the Edinburgh Place. It is not only a place carrying the colonial history, but a large open space having the capability to imagine a new cultural space to attract new users.

Therefore, the design aims at through creation of a playful cultural space in Edinburgh Place to reposition this space and thus bringing people back to this place.

Re-position the Edinburgh Place

DESIGN STRATEGIES

Contextual connection

Serving as a transitional space, the design creates visual connection in different viewing spots. The contextual connection enriches the site dynamics.

Performance typology

Overall concept Circulation plan

The design tries to create different temporal spaces that bring different delightful experiences to diverse users.

Light and water plan Vegetation plan

Lighting and water on ground creates the vibe at night and attracts the children to enjoy the site.

Paving design Spatial layout plan

Boulevard using irregular stripped pattern to resemble the rhythm of music. Pattern derive from the line of central with abstract line intersecting to describe the layers of context are inter-related.

Various informal performance spaces are created with different types of backdrop to create different openness and concentration for performance types.

To enhance the attractiveness of the site to public, the design creates different directional elements to bring people into different space. The complexity of diversity of circulation choices can stimulate children curiosity.

The site is enclosed to separate the crowd and the site. Greenery serves as a natural sound barrier while creating a comfortable micro-climate for the audience during outdoor performance.

To corporate with future Central development, the design aims at minimise massive structural reform while exploring design and management to enhance existing site.

New stair is added from the footbridge to allow people directly go to Edinburgh Place. Colorful stripped paving is adopting an irregular length to imitate the music rhythm. Bench is re-using the chair of ferry pier serving as a collective memory of local and a live museum of history.

Extended stage and stairs are created on both sides of Edinburgh Place to maintain a semi-closed space by setting a clear boundary. Nevertheless, the space can alternatively served as seat and thus creating space for outdoor performance that allows artists and artistic groups to promote themselves without renting from City Hall. It also help promote art culture as a win-win situation

Pocket park is designed at the end of the site to provide greenery to let people feel relaxing and comfortable through the interaction with nature. It is connected to the existing drop-off point to offer an alternative welcoming entry to users.

The pocket park has included subtraction and addition in the design to create different spatial experience. Street performance is suitable to be taken place here for small scale performance that do not require big equipments.

Light paving walkway to create atmosphere at night, while in the day time serving as road indicator to direct people to explore the Edinburgh Place.

The outdoor streaming can be taken out by using the available resources of the City Hall, while it also empowers the people to have the freedom to watch a formal show without dressing requirement that possibly imposes inequality to race and religions. It also promotes the artistic performance to public directly and effectively.

The water fountain and lighting are programmed to create different light show. These elements are attractive to children and allure tourists and local residents to visit by developing Edinburgh Place into a photo-taking tourist spots. Moreover, the light show can incorporated into outdoor performance to enhance performance experiencce.

As Edinburgh Place is a politically important venue in witnessing the historical change of Hong Kong, the new design avoids adding excessive permanent and unmovable furnitures in the square, so to allow it to retain its position as a civic space for demonstration.

MODEL MAKING

Physical model is made to illustrate the lighting condition as a focus of the site design. Stairs making up the boundary to separate the site from surrounding and as a seating stairs for performance watching.

The extended stairs from the elevated walkway open up the access to the memorial shrine as well as symbolising the extension of cultural performance from the City Hall to the outdoor - to promote art to general public without bringing additional cost to users.

Village Revitalisation

Ecovillage as future vision

PAK SHA TSUEN & PENG CHAU, HONG KONG

Rapid urbanisation has contributed to the rise of awareness on sustainability, which is globally recognised as one of the most urgent issues to be discussed and worked towards. Ecovillage which serves as a sustainable settlement model is now adopted worldwide by intentional community to alter their lifestyle, from urban livelihoods to a sustainable form of rural lifestyle. The network of ecovillage has expanded into more than 100 countries in both developing and developed countries in recent 3 decades. However, it is still blurry about the ecovillage attributes and a framework for long term adaption to city development.

This thesis aims at researching on ecovillage and the opportunities to apply ecovillage in Hong Kong. By analysing the conceptual and theoretical framework of ecovillage, this thesis extracts the core of ecovillage attributes and fit it into Hong Kong context under the existing development planning schemes. The application of ecovillage has an objective to improve existing settlement and livelihoods pattern in Hong Kong, and thereby encouraging sustainable lifestyle and bringing positive influence on the whole society as a trend.

In this thesis, two pilot sites are selected to demonstrate two ecovillage models that have different level of self-sufficiency. The first one is Pak Sha Tsuen in Yuen Long South as a “Urban-rural dependent village” as a small size urban settlement prototype. The second is “Towards a self-sufficient community” in Peng Chau as a whole community planning strategy to test the extend of ecovillage application. Throughout the design process, participatory design is deployed as a community engagement tool to simulate an ecovillage operation. In an ideal circumstance, ecovillages achieve sustainability in social, environmental, and economic aspects, by strengthening the social bonding of communities, deployment of green technologies and improving self-sufficiency of local economy.

However, socio-political factors and overall social value place a critical barrier to achieve a comprehensive ecovillage. Discussion on how potential failure is covered to examine the reason why ecovillage is not as popular as it should be through the application of Hong Kong context.

The objective of the design concept, “The Infinite Cycle”, is to visualize the hidden historical and landscape processes that the site embodies, and to provide the dual experience of leisure and learning for hikers. Following the unique hexagonal patterns of the columnar jointing in Po Pin Chau, the design theme is also separated into six geological stages: Birth, Blast, Sedimentation, Condense, Crack, and Return.

with

The Infinite Circle

“Birth” is embedded in the entrance of the site with designs following the infinite deposition process of lava shaped in a hexagonal pattern. The design fits into the existing sloping stones, creating a repeated but diversified imagination of materials. The slope and the lower part of the entrance will be planted with heat and drought-tolerant plants for landscape restoration.

“Blast” recreates the explosion induced by the volcanic eruption, representing a reminiscence of the history of the East Dam of High Island Reservoir.

Surrounded by a hilly landform, the flatland is themed “Sedimentation” matching the environmental characteristics of the surroundings, reflecting the sedimentation process of volcanoes. The design provides resting and viewing options for tourists, with bricks in benches created from cow dung to achieve environmental-friendliness, sustainable and low-cost design.

“Condense” illustrates the design specification surrounding the vicinity of the stream, reflecting the abrasion process of water towards the stone. Meanwhile, placing varied size stones along the stream to form puddles that may reflect like a mirror under the sun.

“Crack”, as the design theme for areas surrounding the cliff, is realised through the organization of stones, bricks and rocks. The outward-extending stairs bring people closer and safer to nature, capitalizing Kim Chu Wan’s stunning scenery.

“Return” represents the design motive in the viewing platform, embodying the process of return: the weathering of rocks back to nature. With a circular design emphasizing continuity and relatedness, the obvious and hidden life cycle of rocks as a history of the place is presented and represented. The multi-levelled design caters to more visitors, and the platform follows the contour lines to minimize visual impacts. Outward-extending rocks cohere with the “Birth” design, and weathering steel is also used to echo with the theme.

REFUGE DESIGN

Landscape technology

This refuge design applies charred wood as a main material as facade to create aesthetic and functional value in the stream side of Shek O. The main focus is learning the technical drawing of a refuge.

General

Timber shall generally comply with BS EN 942:1996 and shall be of mature growth, properly seasoned and sawn square. The timber shall be free from irregularities such as wood wasp holes, large loose or dead knots, splits or other defects that will reduce its strength. Pin holes and worm holes may be permitted in a slight extent in a small number of pieces, subject to the acceptance of the Contract Administrator, by examining the presence of active infestation of the materials, extent of impact to the appearance of the finished faces of joinery work.

Species for Suyaki

Cryptomeria japonica, a monotypic genus in the Cypress family native to Japan. The Japanese name is “Sugi” (as in yakisugi and shou sugi ban), and in the West it is colloquially known as “Japanese Cedar”.

Weather boarding requirement

Hardwood weather boarding shall be 150 mm wide and tapering from 25 mm to 10 mm thick and shall be:

(i) Sawn boarding or boarding wrot on one face and two edges with horizontal joints lapped 30 mm.

(ii) Boarding as (i) but with wider edge rebated with joints lapped 20 mm.

Working procedure

Carefully crafted wood siding with a charred surface is a multi-step process. First step is to hand burn each plank using proprietary methods for charring the wood. Then the planks are cooled, cleaned by brushing and/or washing then finished with either a water based or oil stain. Creating a low maintenance, weatherproof, bug/pest and disease resistant siding.

Regular maintenance Workmanship

Yakisugi “shou sugi ban” is a “maintenance-optional” exterior siding. Exterior wood siding is mechanically degraded over time by UV radiation, atmospheric moisture and precipitation, freeze-thaw cycle, and wind.

Weathering speed and pattern depend on finish spec, pigment content, and method of application, the nature of each individual plank, local exposure to weather, and maintenance.

Workmanship generally shall comply with BS 1186:Pt. 2:1988. Timber shall be cut to required sizes and lengths as soon as practicable after the Works are begun, and shall be stored dry under cover so that the air can circulate freely around it. Cut timber shall be stacked off a levelled, well-drained and maintained hard-standing ground and in such a manner as to prevent distortion.

General nail requirement

Nails shall be steel nails complying with BS 1202:Pt. 1:2002, with “bright” finish, unless otherwise specified. Nail lengths shall be not more than the total thickness of sections to be joined less 5 mm, or not less than twice the thickness of section through which nails are driven.

Sun-exposed surfaces will gradually mellow burnt orange as the soot erodes over decades, moisture-exposed surfaces will gradually turn silver, and areas with protection from both will stay the original color.

Finish color Siding coat

Thick stock material can be matched in color to the siding field generally with 1 coat of alkyd oil finish, or 2 coats of traditional oil finish. In some cases (generally if the oil finish is not black), the unheat-treated wood will not easily match the siding field. Note it is common to have a contrasting color trim.

Finishing with a UV-resistant oil and regular refinishing per manufacturer instructions will slow down the aging process and allow the siding to retain the specified color longer. This will also allow the maximum lifetime possible by preventing dimensional movement, checking, and UV degradation of the fibers. Basically, yakisugi is similar to any other wood siding in terms of finishes.

Dimensions of sections shown on the drawings shall be finished sizes. Planning and sanding faces to finished sizes shall be allowed.

Site dimensions shall be checked before prefabricating joinery fittings.

Use 2 headed ring-shank face nails every 16” on-center, and never use casing nails for exterior installation.

Nailing Fire resistance

Suyaki tests to ASTM E84 and UL723 CLASS A Flame Spread and Smoke Developed with or without fire retardant. Species tests to CAN/ ULC S102-10 FS of 25 and SDI of 60 without fire retardant. Fire retardant pretreatment not available for interior.

SPECIFICATION FOR OUTDOOR WOODWORK (SUYAKI - CHARRED WOOD)

Moisture content Reference dimensions

Air dried then burnt to 11~14% MC, but may fluctuate during transport or warehousing. Please acclimate on site for two weeks prior to installation.

Prototypes shall be prepared and submitted for approval for repetitive fittings before starting fabrication.

Dimension Prototype Board or strip flooring

Heading joints shall be cross-tongued, and staggered not less than two board widths apart.

Cramp flooring shall be tight and accurately fit along the whole length of the joint.

Flooring shall be fixed with galvanized, sheradised or cadmium-plated wire nails.

Nail square edged flooring shall not be faced more than 100 mm wide by using two nails. Nail heads shall be stopped and finished flush.

Tongued and grooved flooring shall be secret-nailed at each support with one nail placed just above the tongue and driven on skew. Nail heads shall be punched flush.

PLANTING SCHEME

Plants and Ecology

CENTRAL, HONG KONG

THEME: Urban Forest and Public Park in Central

RATIONALE:

Being one of the most crowded area in Hong Kong, the Urban Forest and Public Park served as a breathing place for the citizens. Situated between the heavy vehicular roads and the waterfront, the park is connected to most of the important spots in Central. Ecology restoration is taken in place to integrate greenery in this district, at the same time restoring the habitat and creating urban forestry. Not only the urban forestry creates a healthy environment but also a healthy society. The urban forest is designed with a public park to offer a relaxation and education place of public.

LAYOUT:

The design consists of 1/3 woodland mix of total area for ecology restoration purpose. Individual trees are planted linear next to the main path creating a picturesque boulevard in the crowded Central. Trees are arranged carefully according to their fluorescence and foliage type. It ensures the users are able to experience different color and atmosphere in the park in various times of a year. Lawn grass is designed as the focus for the purpose of creating a public park.

Footpath is opened to the footbridge, ferry pier and the harbourfront event space.

DESIGN STRATEGY:

1. Ecology restoration

Wind break trees that require little management are planted next to the vehicular road. They are mostly pollution tolerant and serve as a screening for the inner park and the waterfront.

Most of the species are adaptive to Hong Kong climate and environment.

2. Public park

Public space occupies most of the site and presented as lawn sitting area. Boulevard trees serve as screening and noise barrier to separate the path and the lawn.

Vegetations are arranged in a sense that the users can feel the differentiation of the park each time they visit, as foliage, flowers and fruits of species will vary and create different combination.

LONG-TERM MANAGEMENT STRATEGY:

All unhealthy and weak trees shadowed in the woodland mix and boulevard should be re-moved to ensure the health of other trees. Shrubs and groundcover being shaded by newly formed tree canopy should be replaced to shade tolerant species to maintain the facades of the area.

Pruning, fertilization, transplantation, pest and disease control and regular inspection and risk assessment should be taken out regularly to maintain the urban forest.
