GLOBAL TRADE
1. CONSEQUENTIAL LANDSCAPE We live in a complex world How urban or rural landscapes and territories are built and What are the impacts historically and geographically at a Planetary Scale. TOP SIX PRAWN PRODUCING COUNTRIES OTHER COUNTRIES
The aim of this project is to delve into the tiny objects that can be found everywhere in our daily lives. By exploring the full range of processes from the production of these objects, through their development and transport, to their eventual entry into global trade, we will gradually narrow down the scope of our research to focus on a specific village or town. The core of the project is to analyse the impact of this chain of processes on the local and global landscape, including the environmental, economic and social consequences.
THE WORLD'S TOP SIX PRAWN PRODUCING COUNTRIES
In addition, the project will explore the issues that arise and propose a range of practical solutions to these issues. We will not just scratch the surface of the issues, but dig deeper into the root causes to come up with more forward-thinking and innovative solutions. Ultimately, the project aims to stimulate wider societal thinking and to engage the public, policy makers and industry in addressing these global issues and working together towards a sustainable future. This project is an in-depth study of shrimp in Vietnam.

In Viet Nam, the shrimp farming industry has adopted three main modes of culture, each of which differs in its mode of operation and its impact on the environment. Of these, the intensive shrimp farming method is considered to be the farming model that causes the most harm to the environment due to its high-density farming. This method focuses on farming as many shrimps as possible in a limited amount of water in order to increase production and economic efficiency. However, such high-density farming inevitably leads to overuse and pollution of water resources and damage to the surrounding ecosystem. Intensive aquaculture usually requires large amounts of inputs, including feed, chemicals and antibiotics, to maintain shrimp health and promote their rapid growth, practices that further exacerbate environmental pressures. Thus, while the intensive mode of aquaculture may be economically more attractive, its long-term environmental costs and potential ecological RICE-PRAWN FARMING MODEL SECTION consequences have attracted widespread attention and discussion.
ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES IN PRAWN FARMING
CONCLUSION
DESTRUCTION OF MANGROVES Rice prawn farming and mangrove prawn farming are integrated agriculture and eco-friendly shrimp farming models. Still, many farmers prefer to adopt the intensive farming model because of their high costs and lower yields compared to intensive prawn farming. This has caused significant damage to the environment. Even More and more people are abandoning sustainable farming for intensive farming and even cutting down a large number of mangroves to build intensive shrimp farming, which has dramatically damaged the mangroves and the Mekong region, as a dense area of mangroves, has been the most severely Damaged.2020 large areas of mangroves have been converted into intensive prawn farms compared to those in the Mekong region in 2015.2021 The government has introduced policies to improve this phenomenon. Still, they do not provide farmers with a tangible solution to the production and livelihood problems that have arisen. The destruction of mangrove forests continues. As mentioned above, mangroves are essential for coastlines and carbon storage.

MANGROVE FORESTS
BENEFITS OF MANGROVES
HAZARDS OF MANGROVE DISAPPEARANCE
Mangroves protect the coast by sequestering carbon, nitrogen and reducing wave erosion. "Many of Vietnam's coastlines are very vulnerable because there are no trees on them; Coastal mangroves will eventually disappear... and then all that shrimp farming land behind them is completely exposed to storm surges and winds, typhoons, etc." According to Andrew Wyatt, the Mekong Delta program manager at the U.K.based NGO International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources.
Although the Mekong region has the highest production of prawn, which can reach more than 100,000 tonnes per year, contributing greatly to Vietnam's aquaculture economy and even making prawn farming the country's mainstay, the cost is that mangrove forests along the coast are disappearing on a large scale. Without the protection of mangrove forests, the coast has suffered frequent damage, and in 2015 suffered a huge flood disaster. The coast no longer has mangroves that can withstand the waves. The disappearance of mangrove forests has not only caused huge, irreparable damage to the environment, but also jeopardised the safety of people's lives and property to a certain extent. Although the government has proposed some remedial policies, objectively speaking, it takes time for the mangroves to grow, but the mangroves disappeared overnight; subjectively speaking, it is uncertain whether the aquaculture farmers will be willing to change their farming mode. The misuse of antibiotics and pesticides in the aquaculture process is particularly serious when the environment has already been damaged, and the aquaculture environment is so poor that it is difficult to assess the damage caused to the environment, even to the extent that it poses a great safety hazard to food safety.
What policies and landscape technologies are available to achieve this goal? Can farming techniques such as rice prawn or mangrove prawn farming achieve this?

2. ENGAGE
WHAT WOULD YOUR SCHOOL LOOK LIKE IF IT WERE TO BE A SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT?
We live immerse in technologies What are the available technologies relevant and applicable to the praxis of Landscape Urbanism projects? Alternatives to engage in design processes.
This project uses advanced AI technology to comprehensively integrate basic information and key data from numerous projects, building an informationrich reference framework for designers. This integrated information processing not only optimises the accessibility of the data, but also improves the usefulness of the information, thus providing the design team with indepth insights and broad perspectives in the early stages of project design. By intelligently analysing and interpreting the data through AI, designers can more efficiently identify the key needs and potential challenges of a project, thereby making smarter and more innovative choices in project planning and design decisions.
IES Hermanos Medina is a public secondary educational institution offering bilingual Spanish and English education, located in the city of Byron, in the province of Jaén, Spain. It offers a diverse educational programme, including specialised vocational training in agricultural horticulture. In addition, it participates in various activities and projects, including STEAM, robotics, French theatre, and dance workshops. Since its establishment, the school has consistently endeavored to enhance and improve its playground, ranging from adding professional sports facilities to installing green landscaping elements. The data set provided by "Little Architects" details an initiative led by the architect Delores Garrido to engage children in design thinking. Garrido conducted a three-part exercise in a session with 11-year-olds at a Spanish school. Initially, students depicted their current school through drawings. Following a presentation on sustainable development, encompassing renewable energy, composting, and water recycling, the children were then asked to reimagine and draw their school as a sustainable entity. The session's final part involved sketching their ideal school courtyard, incorporating their newfound understanding of sustainability.
We received a collection of 104 student artworks and accompanying texts. To enhance our understanding of their content, we meticulously organized the data by identifying and categorizing various objects depicted in the paintings.
The project began with a comprehensive colour analysis of 253 object images from children's drawings. This analysis aimed to identify the frequently occurring and dominant colours in the dataset, utilising an algorithm. This approach was rooted in the understanding that colours have specific associations with emotions in children's psychology. The analysis revealed that colours like yellow, symbolising creativity, happiness, and warmth, and red, representing excitement, strength, and energy, were most prevalent. This could be influenced by the colours available to the children for drawing, yet it offered significant insights. For instance, the prevalence of yellow, associated with excitement and energy, suggested the integration of more active spaces in the courtyard design. Subsequently, an analysis was conducted to ascertain the frequency of different objects within the dataset and correlate them with the identified colours. This revealed that playgrounds, swings, swimming pools, slides, and trees were the most common objects, with playgrounds depicted in various colours and trees predominantly in green. The final step involved crossanalyzing these objects with potential programming activities. This analysis was crucial for design considerations, focusing on interpreting the activities linked with the objects, like sitting, sliding, habitat, and playing, to develop appropriate programming. This approach moved SANKEY DIAGRAM beyond merely placing the children's objects on the site to understanding and incorporating their underlying activities.

The analysis yielded insights into the preferred colours, objects, and activities for the courtyard. By integrating these elements, the project team was able to hypothesize about the ambience and, consequently, the types of spaces to be programmed in the future. For instance, areas designed for relaxation might be suited for passive activities like reading, while more vibrant sections could facilitate active play. This approach has illuminated methods for iterative engagement and incorporating feedback from the end-users into the design process. The next phase involves translating the key activity data into conceptual diagrams to explore programming possibilities. These diagrams will then be presented to the children for feedback, aiding in the development of a detailed site plan.
As designers, it's crucial to adopt the perspective of those being served, crafting landscapes or structures tailored to their needs. Recognizing that individuals perceive the same entity through diverse lenses is fundamental in design. Therefore, incorporating a variety of viewpoints is essential. Design is an intricate endeavour, intertwining multiple complex factors while balancing logic and artistry.

3. POLICY DESIGN
We live in a broken world What could happen if we take repair, maintenance, heal and reuse as principles for design rather than endless growth and productivity and consumption. Regenerative and design
This project adopts a policy-orientated strategy, aiming to translate obscure textual policies into concrete and feasible actions. Working with Wakelyns Farm, a like-minded organisation committed to advancing sustainable agriculture, we have crafted a methodology that explains policies to farmers in a way that is easy to understand. This approach not only enhances the transparency and accessibility of the policies, but also encourages farmers to actively participate and put these policies into practice.
Wakelyns Farm is a pioneering farm in Suffolk, England, known for its sustainable and innovative farming practices. The farm focuses on agroforestry, a method of agriculture combining trees with crops or livestock to enhance biodiversity, improve soil health, and increase agroecosystems' overall robustness and productivity. Wakelyns Farm is also very active in organic agriculture, focusing on the non-use of chemical fertilisers and pesticides to protect the environment and promote biodiversity. A sustainable agriculture incentive is a programme or policy designed to encourage and support sustainable agricultural practices. The general idea is to provide incentives, such as financial support, technical assistance or favourable policy conditions, to farmers who adopt environmentally friendly and sustainable agricultural practices. These incentives are intended to make sustainable farming economically viable for farmers, thereby promoting a more sustainable and environmentally friendly agricultural sector. This is particularly important in the context of global challenges such as climate change, declining biodiversity and increasing pressure on natural resources from population growth and consumption patterns.
In addition, the farm experiments with and promotes diversified cropping, such as mixed sowing of multiple grains, which helps to reduce the incidence of pests and diseases and increase the resilience of crops to climate change. Overall, Wakelyns Farm is not only a practitioner of sustainable agriculture but also an innovator in the field, and its practices provide a valuable example of how to incorporate sustainable and eco-friendly methods in modern agriculture.

SITE ANALYSIS
4. CIRCLE OF LIFE Life is a cycle death is inevitable face it
This project is rooted in a unique geographical setting, where it orchestrates a harmonious fusion of two architecturally disparate structures to give rise to a garden stadium imbued with an innovative concept. This thematic masterpiece is carefully curated to cater to a niche audience, with its design delicately threading between the profound themes of life and mortality. It invites introspection and contemplation, serving as a thought-provoking nexus where the celebration of athletic vigor meets the solemnity of existential reflection. Through its transformative design, the garden stadium not only becomes a sanctuary for the body and mind but also a poignant symbol of the enduring human spirit.
Formerly known as Wukesong Arena, the Beijing Cadillac Center is located in the northeast corner of Wukesong on the West Fourth Ring Road of Beijing. It is one of the few professional basketball arenas in China that can compete with NBA arenas. As an essential station in life's journey, hospitals have witnessed the joys and sorrows of human life. At the same time, the entertainment district symbolises the ultimate entertainment and relaxation in modern society. What sparks will undoubtedly emerge from the intersection of these two very different venues, one immersed in the seriousness and solemnity of life and the other indulging in the ease and pleasure of living? In such a collision, we can not only gain insight into the multi-faceted nature of life but also deeply understand that every step in life is a complex picture scroll woven by countless interacting factors.

This urban park renovation programme takes the city's rich historical lineage as a central element of the park design, with a particular focus on highlighting the ancient towers that have been lost to time. The renovation intends to focus people's attention and thoughts on these historical sites, and to reinvent their status and significance in modern city life. While preserving and emphasising the historical value of the pagodas, the project carefully considers and incorporates functional needs to meet the daily use of residents and visitors from the surrounding community. Through clever design, the park serves as both an exhibition hall for history and a centre for community activities, providing a place for all to immerse themselves in the echoes of history while enjoying the tranquillity and convenience of a modern urban green space.
