The Reappearence of Blue and Green lIJIAO, gUANGZHOU
It is certain that Villages in the city (ViCs) are going to be altered and merged into the urban context, however, in what way it should be transformed is still under discussion. This design is seen as an opportunity to express the development under multiple drives other than economy only. The idea behind the transformative Lijiao landscape design is to use ViCs and its waterways to create a comprehensive system which will benefit not only the village itself but also the whole city, by reducing the risk of urban flooding, improving the ecosystem, providing qualified outdoor space, restoring the valuable pattern, and more importantly, bringing an alternative to the methodology of transformation of

Gjersrud-Steinsrud, oSLO
The south-east corridor has a long history as residential area out of Oslo. Gjersrud-Steinsrud, as the last virgin land in Oslo municipality, has the chance to experience a unique inhabitant development. The idea of “Forest village� lets nature foster new vibrant neighborhoods.

mOBILE CONFECTIONARY hackney wick, London
The mobile confectionary is housed on the back of the WOW Milk Float, a mobile production unit roams Hackney Wick and its surrounding areas. The area used to own by the confectioner Clarnico but today it is the most diverse borough in London. The mobile confectionary will gather the community and work as an open resource platform for local residents to introduce their own background by sharing the knowledge of sweets producing and recall the area’s sweet history. Materials for the structure are collected from the waste of local business and the mechanisms for materials and the structure were designed and tested in 1 to 1 model on site.

The tea-fiiled mountains are seen as a resistance to NINGBO YINJIANG CONCEPT MASTERPLAN COMPETITION 02 Overall Design Scheme of Yinjiang Town urban development while the plain opens to both building and farming. Villages are categorized depending on their quality and location for the further development. New water system is constructed collaborating with storm water management, irrigation and entertainment. A large ‘Yinjiang Agro-Ecological Central Park’ will contribute to the food security problem now faced by most Chinese cities.

宁波城市区域策略——紧凑城市策略
Ningbo Regional Strategy-Compact City Strategy
宁波建立了功能齐全的商务与文化区，工业与物流也得到了长足的发展。另外一

个方面，城市外围沿交通两侧成散片式发展。我们提出一个新的区域性策略，在 更大的区域尺度上，基于现存的城镇结构，提倡紧缩城市式发展模式。我们将宁 波周边 15 个城镇进行系统化考虑，提出大区域规划原则 ： - 紧凑与高密度地发展现存城镇，疏解核心城区发展压力（鄞江镇的远景规划可 以描绘出两倍于现状人口的发展潜力）。 - 新建区沿交通基础设施成组团式系统分布。

Garden Condominiums chengdu, Sichuan
This is a high-density housing site with 21 twenty-seven-story residential towers with ground floor elevated and 16 seven-story residential buildings. The open space layout is comprised of three layers of gardens, each creating a unique environment for the tenants. The water garden is the public face of the project and consists series of fountains and cascades. The oasis gardens are semi public outdoor space that serves the surrounding area and the ground gardens provide more privacy and meditative mood.
forest to floor groruddalen, oslo
Groruddalen is dominated by car. Alna River, a valuable nature resource at valley floor, is isolated from the other landscape elements. The journey from the forest edge to the floor is time-consuming and unpleasant. The idea of Forest to Floor is a light infrastructure for comprehensive path movement, which proposes a simple solution that needs only one person and three machines to reduce the 1/6 path length and the accessibility of valley floor will be remarkably improve.
