Shaping Pattern+Process Along the Mississippi Flyway Worked completed by Yimeng Wang and Yinan Liu, Spring 2014 Professor Forbes Lipschitz Our project this semester is try to Use a telescopic approach, reshape regional landscape patterns and patches along the Mississippi flyway. The aim is to develop generative spatial patterns that optimize ecological, cultural, and economic processes. This project employs a synthetic, multi-scale approach to the design and representation of regional landscapes.

Topographic Maps and Section Our first step is to do seven analysis of our site which is from Baton Rouge to Natchez along Mississippi River. The geography part gives the basic topographic map of this

site and displays the transportation, elevation and land cover clearly. The soil and rock profile are effected by topography and hydrology, and the quality of soil and water also affect the distribution of land use.

Pollution Research Worse and worse habit along the mississippi river effect the healthy conditions of animals especially the immigrate birds due to the heavy pollution in water and wetlands’ lost.

Natural & Constructed Wetland Research
In order to solve the pullution problem, we began our basic research about how constructed and natural wetlands work. From the morphology, we find out that no matter how patterns change from each other, that have the same character, which is they slow down and meander the water.

Wetland Typology Unit
After we knows how the wetlands work, we design 5 types of wetland typologies to fit different areas. The scale is from large to small.

Agricultral Site
This wetland machine composed by free water surface system and subsurface flow system is supposed to clean irritation waste water.
12
Industrial Site
The subsurface flow system wetland located between the river and industrial area is designed to clean industrial waste water and ground flow polluted water.
13
Cultural Site
In the urban area, there are bioswales on the parking lot, terrace wetland between the river and levee and floatinf wetland. They are designed no only for preventing the flooding river and water storm, but also for people to be close to the Mississippi river for recreational and cultural use.

Site Design-Gulf Intracoastal Waterway Western Closure Complex Worked completed by Yimeng Wang , Fall 2014 Professor Andrea Galinski The project in my site (GIWW) is a part of the New Orleans Drainage System; it consists of a navigable floodgate, a pumping station, floodwalls, sluice gates, foreshore protection, and an earthen levee. The complex was designed to reduce risk for residences and businesses in the project area from a storm surge. We are supposed to design several highlight spaces for people to experience the surrounding environment, get the knowledge about West Closure Complex and feel the dynamic change of this site. This is a site that give surrounding residents more public places to have fun, enjoy the nature and be aware of the precious land.

Three year after the structure completed, the plant near water grow wilder. Tall grass and shrub begin to appear. Emergent plants already have variaty of types. And the soil condition for plant is better. But the lawn area still need to be maintained.

Mid-City Government Neighborhood Planning --Revitalizate the Neighborhood and Commercial Street Worked completed by Yimeng Wang , Spring 2015 Professor Bruce Sharky The final project is about to plan the Mid-City Government Street to revitalize the neighborhood and commercial Street. The site is located at the north of the Government Street, south of the North Boulevard, and right between the Interstate 110 and S 18th Street. The design concept is to balance the commercial and residential area and provide various attractive and comfortable public spaces. At the beginning, the site is designated to build a train station as a population gathering areas. So, it is important to design an adjacent commercial area to serve people getting off from the train. As we know, residents tend to live at quieter place away from noise. To balance the different demands, I concentrate the commercial area to one street and the Entergy property. To decrease the risk of coming train, I move the main gathering linear park to the residential side. The park has multiple functions as gathering plaza area, residential activity area and detention pond. Zooming into the quarter scale site plan, the small garden between two mixed-use buildings of Entergy Property also has open space as outdoor seating and lawn for picnic. And people can go across the street from the garden to the linear park. 18

This park is located between the very busy commercial area and high density residential area. The design purpose is to keep the activity park area away from the noisy and busy street to make the playground and fitness place safe and quiet. So, I use a lot of evergreen big trees as hedge to block people’s vision from plaza and street to this area. To make the playground area more fun, I put some striking flower shrubs and trees such as Azalea, Lily Magnolia and Crape Myrtle. The east side is much more open than the west side, because east part of the park is a retention pond for drainage. The relatively open planting can transit well to the more wild and quiet detention pond area.

The small garden between two mixed-use buildings of Entergy Property is designed for outdoor seating and relaxing area. The exposed aggragated concrete is used at sidewalk, and granite flagstone paving is used at outdoor seating place. The middle part which is lawn with landform is designed for people to enjoy the sun and surrounding plants seating on the grass. 2

Swine Palace Amphitheater Design Landscape Technology Worked completed by Yimeng Wang , Spring 2014 Professor Peter Summerlin Our program is to execute a conceptual design and construction documents for the outdoor extention of the Reilly Theater. The program includes a covered pavilion, an amphitheater with seating for 45-60 people approximately, and sufficient pedestrian access from the existing Reilly Theater to the pavilion and ultimately the amphitheater. The construction documents are supposed to clearly define the proposed topographic changes, as well as the structural details for the terracing, pavilion, and stage.

Recycled material Furniture-Lighting Bollard Design Landscape Technology Worked completed by Yimeng Wang , Spring 2015 Professor Cheryl Lough The lighting bollard is made of used plywood, balsa wood strips, and acrylic sheet. They are all 100% recyclable. For the Lighting bulb, it is a compact fluorescent bulb that can save much more energy than incandescent bulb. The multicolor acrylic sheets glue together to form the screen and make the lighting environment more attractive. The strips create shadows of the bollard. This lighting bollard can be used both indoors and outdoors. It can be removable indoors like an interior furniture. For landscape lighting, it is better to put the bollard in small scale site like a back yard.

NOTE: 1.Use Brad Nailer to install the plywood structure. 2.Install the fluorescent bulb on the transparent acrylic sheet and use the socket and core set to connect the bulb. 3.Use glue gun to glue the balsa wood strips and super glue to glue acrylic sheet. 4. Glue small multicolor acrylic sheets together to form certain shapes. 5.In landscape use,bolt the base to ground. 6. Do waterproof top coating.

Visual Lighting Design Elective Art Class
Using the orange compact lighing bulb, fabrics and c hipboard model to form a contrast feeling between different materials.
Physical Lighting Model The wood blocks are used as steps that people can really step on. We use the Processing to trck people’s movement so that the light color changes as people move.
Lighting Interaction (Group Work)
Using Aftereffect to do a animation of light outlining. Combine the projector and physical model to show a motion illusion of the object.
