Coastal area around the world are witnessing dramatic changes as a consequence of regional development associated with tourism and urbanites investment.

With the overdevelopment homogenized local social and ecological characteristic, the impacts will eventually cause to a degradation of regional identity and economy. However, other than reservation approach, utilizing the regional identity to preserve and enhance the attributes of place through a landscape perspective is largely unaddressed. As one of the iconic symbols of Australia, Eastern Grey Kangaroo, also a crucial member in local community in Anglesea. This thesis will explore how to use landscape approach to emphasize a local symbolized character as a regional identity while promote economy value.

Based on the local vegetation,water resouce, woodland density, a suitable corridor could formed.

Further analysis is towards how to create a appropriate living environment with limit impact. In the meanwhile, the issue of vehice collidion and lack of medical treatment also should be address.

02 Danfo Market: Lagos Oshodi Market Reform Urban Landscape Design

Landscape Design Studio 2017

Established during 1800s, Oshodi market is one of the largest and most historical trading area in LAGOS. Citizens are usually take a private own minibus which called DANFO to this market and purchasing their daily supply. However, the freedom of trading also mixed with illegal action like drugs trafficking and prostitution. The blemish of Oshodi eventually cased to the demolition order by local government and a new bus station project. Even though the public option strongly oppose the decision, the Oshodi market was raze to the ground during 2015.

This project is attempting to take the unique trading behavior as the response to the demolition of Oshodi market. In order to enlarge the social justice, the project intense to preserve the sprite of the Oshodi which is the freedom of trading and combine with the iconic Danfo surrounding the previous site. To establish a civic space where a market and a public square could function at same time.

By creating a doubt-deck market, pedestrian and DANFO merchant could coexistence, and enough space for trading, assembly and relaxing. Taking the trade as the carrier, the power of landscape could reform the Oshodi in to a realization of the Lagos.

The market was demolish by government and they are going to replace DANFO

Large Market and DANFO is the icon of LAGOS, Local governemnt consider them as the breeding ground of unhealthy and crime. However, this life style seems well accpet for local community. We test the possibility of improving the situation by landscape approach.

The Oshodi market is locate in a suburb of Lagos city, Southwesten Nigeria. This area is the largest market place in Lagos city and one of the most important transportation hub. With several sub-market locate arround. Citizens take the DANFO, which is a private owned bus, to Oshodi to trade their daily life supply.

SIGHT ANALYSIS

The previous Oshodi market have its own Operation pattern, the design frame work is intense to found the pattern and test the possibility of transforming in to a part of city landscape.

The level change is attempts to crate a open view for parents, shopper, assembly or visitors.

DESIGN ANALYSIS The design scheme should meet the demands of a flow circulation for both pedestrian and vehicles, multiple Trading areas for different commodities and enough green space for citizens.

Formation of Space Pure Bike lock

Design Concept The design concpt is trying to found a usable space for different kind of scenario. The first step is to organize those users into a compact space, in order to creat a relatively safe sapce for use. Then, give each funaction a resonable location and aviod overlap with each. At last, the idea of moveable structure provide the change for users to change the sapce as they wants.

Therefore, the srructure can satify a space that always changing and shifting.

The basic need of this site is form the people who waiting for others and the bike riders need more space for bike lock stand. Moreover, those funcation have to establish and emerage with the street tree exist on site . Therefore, this developing process start with form small green space. Then, the structure rise up in order to suit for a peron to rely on.

Then, the rest of the space could separate into cells in order to accommdate more bike stands for students.

Landscape Winter Design Studio 2018

Our proposal for the new Melbourne University Student Precinct brings life back into the space. Where once there were thermally uncomfortable spaces that people did not want to occupy for periods of time, there is now light, wind and shading being brought into all spaces across the site. Where there were hard and harsh spaces there is now vegetation and water, aiding in the theory of biophelia, important in a space where people are prone to stress. And where once there was a series of disjointed spaces, there is now a communal spaces, a place where people can congregate and socialise.

Based on Radiation analytics in Summer period, the significant thermal difference have occured around the rear sides of corridor because of the changing in shading time. The solution herein is to create a more stable walkway to avoid the inbalance of thermal. The hot spot would be used as a undercover idle area. The Lot6 would be reoccupied as a garden, proving the comfort spots for sitting and picnic throughout the time of a day.

Winter Afternoon

Different areas of the site have been designed for specific times of the day. The artificial topographic area is good for summer afternoons when the site heats up. However it is a little shady for Winter so the right side of the hill would be better for relaxing in the sun. The platform is also perfect for hot summer afternoons as it provides shade and the vegetation cools down the air. It is also a pleasant space in Winter mornings when the sun is shining through.

However above the platform is best for Winter days as it catches the most amount of sun. The southern courtyard is also a nice place for Winter days as it catches a lot of sun, however can be quite hot in the Summer. The site caters for all times of the year and the various activities that can go on within the spaces. We wished to provide mostly for spaces where students could study outside in the small microclimates we have created.

05 Garden On The Wall Urban Landscape Design

Bachelor Thesis Project 2016

Located in the Dongcheng District of Beijing, the community of Baiyun Temple is close to the historical site Baiyun Temple in the north and faces the Tianning Temple in the south. The inland river Sanli River, the subway station, the Sinopec gas station and the Second Ring Road are all located in its surroundings. The four multistory apartment blocks with brick-concrete structure, which were built in the 1980s, are sill in good condition.

As an important transportation hub for surrounding residents, vertical greening at the crossroads can improve the residential environment and upgrade residentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; visual experience.

Based on the theoretical analysis of the urban street canyon, Street A has relatively satisfactory ventilation, while Street B belongs to the wide street canyon, where pollutants are likely to heap up in the poorlyventilated area. Ver tical green walls could facilitate the pollution abatement.
