Passionate about bridging the gap between humans and nature, I developed a deep understanding of the natural environment through exploring Taiwan's mountains and rivers. With a Bachelor's degree in Landscape Architecture from National Taiwan University, I have gained experience in regional design through an exchange program at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC), where I worked on ecological projects with leading experts. Additionally, my professional experience further deepened my understanding of translating conceptual ideas into real-world designs . I am particularly inspired by the Dutch approach to landscape resilience and environmental problem-solving. With an interest in large-scale, nature-based projects, I aim to pursue advanced studies at TU Delft, learning from interdisciplinary, innovative landscape design practices. I aspire to join leading landscape firms in Europe to tackle environmental challenges and contribute to the sustainable future of Taiwan’s landscapes.

The outskirts are the transition zone where urban and rural uses mix and often clash. It can also be characterized by certain land uses which have either purposely moved away from the urban area, such as power plants which provide power for urban areas. In those areas, conflicts could be observed frequently between power plants, other usages of the outskirts, and natural environments. On the other hand, how to introduce green energy to the public while resolving the aforementioned conflicts is an urgent issue for outskirts development.

Tourism Analysis

The surrounding tourist attractions near the site are mostly forest recreation. Currently, long queues at the park often forming on weekends. To alleviate traffic congestion, it is advisable to increase public transportation shuttle bus services. Qingshui geothermal park is a popular outskirts tourist attraction in Taiwan, but the adjacent underconstruction geothermal power plant could deteriorate the natural experiences. It is the aim of this project to propose a solution for the conflicts between power plants, tourism, and the environment.

Formosan Rock Macaque

4 strategies: Food chain, water cycle, geofood cycle and control level to solve the conflicts between poerplants, torism and environments. Combinig geothermal energy education and environmental education into this park, providing healing effect to the public and redifine the relationship between power plants and the public.

The design includes designated routes for tourism, service operations to support daily maintenance and supply needs, and emergency evacuation routes near the areas of the Qingshui river and geothermal hotspring source, ensuring prompt rescue operations.

From introductory experiences at hot springs and museums to exploring industrial sites and outdoor adventures, this progression aims to immerse participants in their surroundings and foster a deep appreciation for nature's gifts. Such engagement not only sparks initial interest but also encourages return visits and promotes environmental stewardship."

FOOD CHAIN FOOD CHAIN

Tree species selection focuses on native Camphor family species thriving at 300-500m altitude in Yilan County, such as Machilus thunbergii, Machilus zuihoensis, and Cinnamomum camphora, valued for their aesthetics and ecological fit with neighboring vegetation. Given the park's proximity to thermal sources, the landscaping design involves planting shallow-rooted and heat-tolerant species like mosses, lichens, maidenhair ferns, and Rhododendron.

Eco-frinedly lighting Strategy

Lower color temperature: yellow light to deter animals from approaching.

Light spectrum : 520 to 610nm minimizes disturbance to green plants.

LED bulbs: their spectrum emits minimal ultraviolet light, which typically attracts insects. Form: Full-cutoff lampshades helps reduce light scattering and thereby decreases light pollution.

Groupwork(2)| All processes developed together

Supervisor| Mary Pat, McGuire. mpm1@illinois.edu

As a focal point for education and community life in Lujhou, this site intersects with various educational institutions, providing opportunities to connect students and residents and serve as a platform for low-carbon education experiments, reshaping the low-carbon lifestyle in the area. The project's primary goals are to restore the connection between humans and nature by recreating Lujhou's historical landscape and to develop a carbon sequestration system suitable for modern urban environments.

This project is situated in Lujhou District, New Taipei City, at the lowest part of the Taipei Basin and within the tidal reach of a river. Historically known for its wetlands and ponds, it's affectionately called "蘆洲泛月" due to its scenic reflection of the natural environment. Serving as a vital carbon sink, it boasts flourishing ecosystems with diverse wildlife and crops, symbolizing a harmonious relationship between humans and nature. However, the construction of the Erh-Jung Floodway, while mitigating flood risks, has disconnected people from nature and diminished carbon sequestration capacity.

Adaptable Design Strategies help reclaim shrinking wetlands

This fertile landscape in Kolkata is a prototype system combining ecological and traditional wisdom with modern techniques to improve quality of life, boost economic benefits, restore ecosystems and further offer opportunities for education and tourism. Starting with four sites in Kolkata, these flexible strategies can expand to the Ganga Basin and beyond.

Planetary Boundary- Biogeochemical Flows

Nitrogen and Phosphorus are essential elements for humans and vegetation. However, when they enter water as waste, they cause severe issues such as Eutrophication, Ocean dead zones, land degradation, habitat loss (80%), and health risks to humans. The levels of N and P have surpassed the safe boundary of the Anthropocene, approaching a tipping point of no return. Fifty percent of Nitrogen and Phosphorus come from agriculture, while the other fifty percent originates from industrial and urban waste. This design proposes reclaiming and reusing these wastes to enrich the landscape through waterfront designs and future agricultural practices, forming a nature-based circular system.

Globally, regions affected by nitrogen and phosphorus issues are nations that heavily rely on fertilizers in agriculture, yet they spend lots of money import fertilizers from elsewhere. Imagine the economic and environmental benefits if we could reclaim these resources from the water!

The Ganges River Basin, notably the most affected area.

Kolkata is an ecologically rich delta characterized by wetlands, marshes, and mangrove forests, with the Hooghly River flowing through its heart. The Ramsar-designated East Kolkata Wetlands have long served as a natural treatment system for human wastewater. However, urban expansion and eutrophication are gradually compromising the wetlands' capacity to function effectively, endangering both the local and regional ecosystems.

A cross-section of the city reveals the interconnectedness of these ecosystems. The quality of water in this region not only impacts urban life but also poses a significant threat to the entire regional ecological balance.

Covered with Concrete Riverbank.

1. Physical: Using layering landform or densely populated vegetation to slow down water for particle settlement

2. Chemical: nitrification,denitrification often happens in the soil, substrate and plant roots

3. Biological: by vegetations and micro organisms uptake (or assimilation) and transform. Not only flora, fauna also help to balance the system from digesting /preying on plankton, fungi. nutrients circulate in the food chain forming a dynamic balance

The landform design, inspired by the floodplain, incorporates layered features such as oxbows and levees, creating diverse habitats for various species.

The canal front draws inspiration from riparian forests, featuring a layered landscape design.

Nutrient-removing vegetation can be processed into biomass for energy production, while the organicrich soil can host microbial fuel cells to power riverfront and street lighting on-site.

Environmental education will be promoted by connecting schools to the river. School labs can produce molds and photosynthetic bacteria to enrich the soil and enhance nutrient uptake.

The Hooghly River experiences significant seasonal water level variations.

Even during the monsoon, bamboo forests and the main walkways remain accessible.

Bamboo and mangrove planting helps remove nutrients, stabilize the shoreline, prevent erosion, and mitigate flooding. .

Vegetations like cattail and water hyacinth, along with floating cut flower farms, will aid in nutrient removal. These plants and their biomass can be used to produce biochar and energy, creating economic opportunities for Dapha Village and helping to alleviate poverty.

Floating laboratory will act as a community center where residents can share daily information and monitor water quality. Additionally, the system will include automated sluice gates to regulate water flow at the inlets and outlets efficiently.

Water circulation pattern, inspired by nature, is both efficient and visually appealing, potentially serving as land art to be admired.

The agricultural system emphasizes water circulation. Water from the canal will flow sequentially through vegetated buffers, constructed wetlands, free water surface wetlands, aquaculture systems, and finally into agricultural fields. Biochar and molds produced by schools and wetland eco-villages can further enrich the fields, enhancing soil fertility and sustainability.

Agricultural fields will coexist with wetland ecosystems, fostering a healthy balance that welcomes freshwater flora and fauna During the monsoon season, water outflow will be filtered through vegetated buffers, supporting eco-tourism and providing opportunities for daily recreation.

A Call from the Mother River: Revitalizing and Restoring the Fazhi River through Archaeological Research and Biomimicry Design to Manifest Its Sacredness.

The Fazhi River, known as the "Mother River" of Taichung holds deep cultural, historical, and spiritual significance for the local community. Beyond its cultural value, the river also has critical urban ecological importance. However, years of environmental degradation and urbanization have compromised its health. This project seeks to restore the river, honoring its sacred role, through a combination of archaeological research and biomimicry design, while also revitalizing its function as an ecological corridor for wildlife preservation.

Why Biomimicry?

Biomimicry is both a mindset and methodology for improving how we live on this planet. Biomimicry is a practice that learns from and mimics the strategies used by species alive today.

The site was originally agricultural land located in a floodplain. This design aims to reclaim the disappearing farmland and illegal construction sites, transforming it into an enhanced river wetland with high purification capabilities. While wetlands naturally have purifying functions, this design focuses on the dynamics of water flow and seeks to align with biological mechanisms, creating a common form language. The goal is to move beyond traditional, engineering-driven wetland designs and develop a more ecological, natural approach.

of penalties and the total fine amounts.

An attempt to address air pollution in architecture and landscape design and demontrations of better indoor and outdoor relationship utilizing parametric design, CFD wind simulation and BIM technology.

Xiaogang industrial area faces severe and deadly pollution. In addition to source control, environmental design, through wind simulation and the strategic placement of mitigating factors we developed a design from morphology. This design can significantly reduce the harm caused by air pollution and at the same time create a better relationship between indoor and outdoor , environment and architecture and have a positive impact on the surrounding cities and environment.

Surrounding Analysis

The air pollutants measured in the industrial area include 11 substances that are classified as Group 1 carcinogens by the World Health Organization (WHO), and 5 substances that are classified as Group 2A carcinogens (likely to be carcinogenic).

The air pollution problem in the Kaohsiung Xiaogang Industrial Zone is severe, primarily due to emissions and pollutants from industrial activities. These pollutants include sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, suspended particulate matter and carcinogenic components severely impacting air quality. The industrial zone's high concentration of industries, coupled with its geographical location, exacerbates the air pollution situation and poses a threat to the health of local residents.

Site

The site is located in a coastal industrial zone in Kaohsiung city, serving as both accommodation and living facilities for employees of China Steel Corporation (CSC).

Area: 48600 m2

The original site's building functions for employee living facilities.

Mitigate Strategies

Weak monsoons hinder pollutant dispersion, while evening sea breezes and unstable climate condition help reduce pollution.

The unstable nature of sea breezes helps alleviate overall air pollution by promoting the dispersion and dilution of pollutants.

Prioritizing tree planting in the direction of land breezes can help directly purify the air in the frontline

Spacing strategies based on average capability of air purification / per tree (H10m *W25m* D25m)

Research shows that planting urban street trees and increasing forest cover is a cost-effective measure to improve air quality. If addressing both PM concentration and high temperatures simultaneously, the attractiveness of tree coverage remains unparalleled. Trees also provide additional co-benefits such as carbon sequestration, aesthetic appeal, and regulation of stormwater runoff.

High humidity facilitates the condensation of water vapor, aiding in the settling of pollutants and reducing air pollution. Increasing humidity aids in the settling of pollutants in the air, thus necessitating the addition of various water bodies.

Placing these water bodies along wind corridors allows the wind to lift moisture, enhancing humidity levels in the air and facilitating pollutant deposition.

The entire Kaohsiung City, including the Xiaogang District fails to meet the standard, and is more than 5 micrograms per cubic meter below the national average. Site

Existing Building Wind Simulation :

Wind field simulations of existing building volumes show that strong eddy winds tend to form at the corners of buildings, and these winds do not effectively guide or promote the overall flow of air across the site.

By harnessing the clean sea breeze that can help mitigate air pollution, the building mass and void spaces (where trees can be planted) are defined through the simulation processes.

L-shape

By eliminating the corners of the building, turbulent wind flow can be reduced. Switch the oreintation of some buidings.

T he design of building heights and spacing should create airflow that moves pollution upward, helping to disperse it and improve air

Through wind simulation and adjustments to building mass and spacing, the final design effectively directs the clean ocean breeze toward Xiaogang city, creating dynamic airflow while maintaining acceptable thermal comfort.

The landscape and open space design follow the microclimate patterns created by the wind field, ensuring that the functional layout is suited to the conditions. The main circulation paths and open plazas are placed in areas with calmer winds, creating an engaging walking experience and spatial feel as they connect throughout the site. Outdoor sports areas are arranged based on the wind resistance requirements of each sport, ensuring optimal conditions for performance and comfort. Water features (such as ponds and rain gardens) are placed along the areas with the strongest wind flow, allowing moisture to be carried by the breeze into the air, helping to facilitate the settling of airborne particles.
