I've always loved to travel and sketch since I was a kid. I simply adore seeing such breathtaking views with my own eyes at various locations across my country. Despite the fact that I gave up these hobbies in middle school due to an enormous quantity of homework, my love for nature has not faded. After studying business in high school, I became really bored of those numbers . That experience rekindled my desire to explore nature and create a better world for both people and the environment.

As a result, I am presently a third-year landscape architecture student. The curriculum provided me with several possibilities to improve the environment via human modification and design thinking.

With each project, I share my enthusiasm for the environment and try to influence other people's thinking about their relationships in local communities and the larger world.

During these years studying, I enhanced my design thinking and communication skills as a landscape architect, as well as my graphic techniques. And i am looking forward to explore landscape archiecture further in the program.

Sydne PROJECT INTRODUCTION User groups

Site has undergone drastic change over the last 100 years. Transforming from a natural rocky cove, that was significantly altered when concrete platforms were constructed in the 1930’s. The demographics of the area have shifted too, spurred on by the population growth and development that followed the Great Depression. The next 100 years seem set to have at least as much upheaval and change as the previous century, with new challenges posed by sea level rise, temperature increase, population growth and shifting attitudes towards the Beach as a public space.

With this project, I designed Clovelly Beach with a focus on understanding and communicating the past, present, and projected future.

Stagely remove the concrete, restore the habitat

Remove all the concrete through a 100 year process. Making a better adapation for users

As the site is located within the Bronte-Coogee Aquatic Reserve, the protection of the ecosystem becomes important. So with this project, I took the natural environment as a priority. and chose children and seashells as the two main user groups as the main drive to my design.

By analyzing the history development of the beach, the Randwick City Council built the concrete platform to create more employment opportunities during the worst financial time. And making access to the bay's foreshores easier for sunbakers. The existing rockpool habitats were brutally covered over in the 1930s with the pounding of concrete, killing many small and microscopic species.

PROJECT INTRODUCTION ‘The coronavirus pandemic has reignited a squabble over golf courses in densely populated parts of Sydney, after lord mayor Clover Moore renewed a push to halve the size of Moore Park Golf Course to free up more parkland for the public.’

Sydney, NSW, Australia

With the Covid-19 hit the world. The first lockdown was underway in Sydney and Melbourne as well as cities all over the world. People were predominantly working and studying from home, and with most other facilities closed, or restricted, the local park became a vital asset in keeping physically and mentally fit. They quickly filled, buzzing with activity the likes of which were not anticipated.

The study area is the Moore Park Golf Course (MPGC), sits in the southern portion of Moore Park. The project suggests that public golf courses in their current form may have passed their use-by-date, So, as a landscape archiects i explored other alternative options for golfers and the general populatiion to share these valuable spaces.

The hydrology of the site is influenced by the permeable aeolian dune sands.

Site receives around 1000mm per year on average. High water tables, heavy storm events are the main threat on site for water runoff and erosion issues.

If you have to buid upward to utilize the space, urban farms or gardens is the way to go.

URBAN FARM IS THE FUTURE!

The project aims to bring agriculture into urban city. By taking part in interesting and rewarding farming process, urban community can be educated more on urban agriculture. Hopefully, vision can radiate a broder range of city, establish more urban farms and gardens into inner west of Sydney in the future.
