Designer:Individual study Site:langtang valley gosaikunda in nepal. Complete time:11/2023
Gosaikunda is located in the Himalayas in Nepal. The site belongs to Langtang National Park. There are several hiking routes that are popular among tourists. The end point of this site is on one of the routes. Gosaikunda Lake has very important cultural significance to Nepalese people. It is a religious holy place. During religious festivals every year, a large number of pilgrims come to worship, and this rich religious and cultural atmosphere will also attract many tourists. Come and experience it. Most tourists use this place as the end point of hiking to enjoy the beautiful scenery. However, d u e to t h e h i g h a l t i t u d e a n d i n s u f f i c i e n t development, underdeveloped infrastructure is an important factor limiting development. Recently, the discovery of hot spring resources on the site has given the designer an entry point to update the design, and use this as an opportunity to promote surrounding development.

The orientation and viewing angles of all nodes face the beautiful natural scenery inside and outside the site, the gosaikunda sister lakes and the beautiful mountains and rivers.
Both areas are accessible within five minutes from the residence and both contain the core area of the site: the hot springs.
The main tour route is on a separate newly built road system, which is separated from the reconstructed original roads to separate the flow of people.

Surrounding stones In order to enhance the earthquake resistance of the building, we renovated the original walls using concrete and wooden columns. At the same time, in order to retain the memory of the site and utilize the resources of the surrounding environment, many stone resources from the original building are still retained in the foundation and walls.

Hot Spring Hotel
Open-air Hot Spring Boardwalk
The hot spring hotel is built on a hillside in the south of the site. It adopts clever internal and external transportation and a double-story platform building, so that every household has the best viewing angle.
The hot spring boardwalk is a complex but beautiful stone pile area in the south of the site. It also has a viewing angle of the two lakes Gosaikunda and Bhairabkunda.
The room is equipped with the most basic furniture and an internal hot spring system, and combines hot springs with views. There is also a collective hot spring in the middle hall of the hotel, which facilitates communication and gatherings among tourists.
This design adds service facilities and buildings combined with plank roads to the site, and develops the hot spring resources on the site. Large and small hot spring pools meet the needs of tourists for private or open hot spring bathing.

About the renovation and design of urban villages in Shanghai.
This project is located in an urban village in Dongjiadu, Shanghai. Urban villages are backward areas left behind during the rapid development of cities and usually face a pattern of complete demolition and reconstruction. Our original intention is to preserve the unique memory of old Shanghai at the site and avoid such cookiecutter demolition and renewal. Absorb the unique elements of the site and use them in the design to form a core landscape for people to use. Many buildings on the site have been added or renovated privately. It has formed many unique cultural landscapes, but it has also caused many buildings to become dilapidated buildings and face demolition. We comprehensively considered the demolition of dilapidated buildings, the shaping of space, and the preser vation and renovation of complete buildings to design a multifunctional and beautiful public space.
Personal Information Designer:Individual study Site:Shanghai Dongjiadu Complete time:01/2021
In addition to facilities and functions, we also considered ecological aspects. Urban villages often lack green planting and drainage systems, so we used the open areas where dilapidated buildings were demolished to build a central park with built-in rain gardens and gabion filtration systems.

The cylindrical bookshelf is undoubtedly the design center of the site. Its unique design makes it serve as a viewing, transportation, and display of plant books for readers. Its traffic design and location allow everyone who enters the site to notice it immediately and be attracted to it. This will then drive the use of surrounding service buildings, and the rich space design will also allow users to have a better experience.

Demolition And Conservation In order to enhance the drainage capacity of the site and improve the surrounding area environment, we set up a rain garden and a series of gabion filtering devices in the Central Park, which are perfectly integrated with the infrastructure, making it both functional and ornamental. The park itself is a large rain garden that can absorb, filter, and store objective rainwater resources, and the plants it nurtures can make the site more dynamic.

DOVE HOLES LIMESTONE QUARRY POST-INDUSTRIAL VENUE UPDATE
Dove Holes Limestone Quarry Is a mine with a long histor y.Mainly provides ore resources to Manchester,It is an important source of income for local villages and also provides many jobs.
On the post-industrial transformation of mines.
H o w e v e r, i t h a s a l s o c a u s e d g re a t environmental problems, so it is necessary to carry out post-industrial transformation of some abandoned mines to enable the sustainable development of the site and the conditions for the development of tourism.
