01.HOUTOUWAN VILLAGE RENOVATION Ecosystem recovery and village planning for abandoned villages The re-planning and design of the now abandoned village of Hou Tou Wan is based on the recovery of the ecosystem and the gradual improvement of the ecosystem through the introduction of local plants in a long-term span of planning, and then the integration of the village road network, buildings and nodal spaces with the ecological recovery, resulting in a complete ecological village plan

Architecture

In the final stage, ecological trails are created to walk through the forest and buildings that were once scattered in the woods are transformed into individual spaces of rest.

The building serves the people who live on the site, as well as those who come to live there occasionally, and the entrance to the building is oriented towards the mountain in case of typhoons in summer.

Farmland

The planting areas that exist during the succession of ecological stages are used for the enrichment of the soil of the site on the one hand and for the people who move around the site on the other hand

Coast

A new route was created on the basis of the former marina, a waterfront plaza was created next to the marina and eventually a coastal walkway was created on the waterfront.

02.MONGOLIA YURT RENOVATION Mitigation of air pollution in Ulaanbaatar at the planning and building Ulaanbaatar's air pollution levels are among the highest in the world, with massive coal burning and car exhausts blanketing the entire city in a haze. Find where the coal burning comes from herders living in towns This project seeks to reduce air pollution in Ulaanbaatar by renovating the yurts.

Pastoral Issues

Reduce air pollution

The poor living conditions of the herders are due to a number of factors, from the yurts they live in and their original lifestyle, the extremely cold yurt interior temperatures, to the interior light and airy yurt shells.The cold monsoon from the north drops the temperature of the Mongolian steppe to 30 below zero, the poorly ventilated yurts do not provide effective shelter, and thelack of infrastructure in the areas where the herders live has forced them to move to the shanty towns of Ulaanbaatar, where they can barely survive the cold Mongolian winters on the land they have been given under the land policy and burn cheap coal .

Aimed at air problem and extreme cold problem in Ulaanbaatar, compared with the direct renovation of chaos in slum area, the design strategy transforms the shape and function of yurts, and extends the design from a single yurt to a floating community in grassland by a special connection mode. The new function meets the nomadic needs of Mongolian herders, preserves the traditional nomadic culture, supports the traditional pillar income, and at the same time alleviates the urban pressure and air pollution.

Newly built residential yurt with indoor farm and water collection yurt. In the indoor farm the herders can grow everyday food crops that are not hardy to the cold in order to maintain a normal nutritional intake, while the hanging farm area gives the herders more possibilities to grow crops.

The water collection yurt, on the other hand, is designed to improve the problem of the herders' difficulty in accessing water outside, by collecting and purifying water for their daily needs.

And the connection to the residential yurt increases the convenience of living for the herders, allowing them to enjoy relatively comfortable living even in the harsh winter months.

Master Plan

The new yurts are scattered across the Mongolian grasslands in winter, with infrastructure buildings as the core and extending into other areas to form wrap-around yurt communities and relatively warm sheep pens within them for the herders to survive the harsh winters. In addition, the new yurts can also be placed individually and connected to the infrastructure via pipelines, offering herders a variety of ways to connect their yurt communities

Background Description

12 Train Yard Facility

New York, by virtue of its location in the western Atlantic Ocean, a region that is extremely vulnerable to hurricanes from the ocean.This year, Hurricane Ida caused a torrential rainstorm to hit New York City and its surrounding areas, causing flooding.New Yorkers were overwhelmed by the powerful rainfall and severe flooding.

Pictures and videos posted on social media were shocking: people standing in waist-deep water in their homes, shouting in despair with its flashing lights particularly prominent.According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), New York City was hit by a 500-year precipitation event on the 1st. Meteorological measurements showed that 78.74mm of precipitation fell in one hour in New York's Central Park.

Inundation Forecast New York's unique geographical location and global warming have resulted in more storm surges than any other city in the US in recent years, and as a result, flooding in New York has become more severe.
