Personal statment

Environmentally sustainable development has always been the core of my design works because it continuously promotes the connection between physical activities and nature, which is why it is also stressed in my graduation thesis and design portfolio. For example, the Treebank System I designed aims at saving the vast amount of abandoned trees by relocating them to the city areas that need to be covered in green. The project Rain Garden applies the method of LID (Low impact of development) as a natural filter to clean the dirty water, contributing to the improvement of the environment and the landscape. From the tree recycling systems to the rain garden dealing with rainwater runoff, I hope to demonstrate that the well-being of the environment supports the well-being of humans, which is also my field of interest.

01.

The field of landscape architecture covers a wide range of environmental issues, and it argues that the awareness of sustainability results in aesthetic pleasure. Learning the implementation of sustainable development approaches by studying both theory and techniques is the main reason that I decided to dedicate myself to this major. The University of Edinburgh is a globally authoritative school, which provides a comprehensive landscape architectural education from larger scopes to miner ones, covering both urban design and the garden landscape. Other than that, the curriculum focuses on critical thinking, theories, and design practice at the same time, which compose an ideal and well-rounded training system for its student and are fundamental qualities for a professional landscape designer. Among many classes, Material and Detailed Design is the most attractive course for me because every single constructional element should be used cautiously and well-maintained due to the complexity of the environment. Thus, getting to know the diversity of each species by attending a series class held in Royal Botanic Gardens, where a huge amount of living collections are exhibited and taken care of, is meaningful and worthy.

In Taiwan, where I grew up, the government doesn't concern much about landscape architecture because they hope to maximize the profit returned from the land. Even so, after graduating from the department of architecture, I still joined several design firms and participated in many landscape-related projects. Based on my passion for landscape architecture, I would like to proceed with my dedication to the world, aiming at participating in different scales of landscape architectural projects. I believe the University of Edinburgh will be the top choice. I am also passionately driven and ready to immerse myself in the academic community of the University of Edinburgh. I have no doubt thatthis competitive and diverse environment will motivate me to make the most out of my potentials.

Oreginal method

Tree transfer issue

The way the government deals with the tree transfer issue is to carry them to undeveloped land or marginal areas at suburban temporary, which is not a good approach for those of impaired trees because the location is too far from where the trees grow.

In Taiwan, while a land was in the process of being developed , thousands of trees will be facing a transplant issue.

Most of the trees died from transfer process. However, people in Taiwan care of trees a lot becacuse It's always sunny in Taiwan, trees provide shade for people form sunburn. Therefore many people condemn and fight for this issue.

Transplant square The process of tree transplanting is the most crucial part deciding the life or death of the trees. Since then, this project uses the standard transplanting procedure as the basis of design development. There are four systems form this transplanting park, and they are dealing with the root, water, transportation, exhibition of this park.

The initial design action is zoning, using the diameter of the crane car’s working area as basis. As a result, the whole area is divided into five zones and the crane cars can locate any trees at any place. The next step is to arrange the irrigation system, which responds to such a changeable environment. After the irrigation system, is to construct a crane system extending out from the greenhouse so A l l t r a n s p l a n t e d t r e e c a n An effective transport system Main water system followed T r e e b o x d i s p l a y s y s t e m that it will be much easier to deploy trees and be moved depends on their can cover every part in site. from the main stucture. d e a l w i t h t r e e s ' c i r c u l a t i o n take care of the sick one. feature. continously.

Pattern of trees Controaling densities & activities

The tree box is a 5 meters by 5 meters unit. There are fixed tree boxes in the center and around the central area is the changeable tree boxes. The more central the changeable tree boxes is located, means the tree in it will be replaced more frequently.

Season is the main factor of the arrangement of the trees in park. The transplanting rate of spring and winter are usually lower than the rate of fall and summer.

As long all different kinds of trees are move-in and move-out, the special character of this park will be different.

This part is trying to prescribe a set of rules to control the arrangement of trees to form the activity space.

Tree hospital This south-located greenhouse is the threshold of whole transplanting park.

Before moving a tree into the park, health examination is a necessary task. All the sick trees will be cured in the greenhouse and separated from the health trees. After the treatment, the trees shall be delivered into the park.

In conclusion, this greenhouse contains ED unloading area,control room, treatment area and temporary area for tree. The greenhouse is a steel-structured building with crane system in it.

Detail of the tree box An empty tree box is a platform paved by punched-plate, with four columns at the button, by adding roofs or walls, people can conduct various activities in the tree box.There are several different types of tree box to contains from shallow-root to deep-root trees. Also, there is different equipment that can meet different need of different tree.

There are four systems composed of the wooden deck, wooden paver coving, wooden bar, steel beam,and ground beam.

The wooden deck is located near the riverside, as the foundation of the site is not solid, therefore the ground beam as the main structure system. As the heading and ending side of slope has various gradients to make axon drawing with relative elevation for the layout work.
