THE DYNAMIC CYCLE
The concept of The Dynamic Cycle carries through all of my projects. I believe that good designs give nature a chance to breathe freely, encourage places to find their identities and allow great interactions to happen between humans. I am a problem solver whose designs result in the most efficient solutions. I am a creative thinker who collaborates across cultures and disciplines. I am an enthusiastic person who always brings energy and passion to the team.

LAKE LENS Life Cycle of Water and Us
Waverly, Pennsylvania Site Specific Landscape Art Installation Overlook Field School, Summer 2015
Overlook is a 400-acre property in northeastern Pennsylvania designed by the Frederick Law Olmsted firm in the early twentieth century. The 2015 Overlook Field School focused on water and watersheds, seeking to understand the natural structure of watersheds, our cultural demands on those systems, and the tensions and unintended consequences that occur when we insert ourselves into the waterscape. This inquiry ended with the creation of a site-specific art installation meant to evoke a deeper understanding of how water shapes both the physical and the cultural landscape.
Left image: installation in the landscape Righ graphic: Analysis of the Lackawanna Watershed left: Land Use/Land Cover right: Dams/Development Program & Skill: Rhinocero, ArcGIS, Design-build, Adobe Design Suite
The inspiration of the sculpture comes from experiencing different forms of water in the Lackawanna watershed and learning the human impact on natural water cycle.

Water is central to life, and often we believe that we fully understand the water cycle, the nature of water, and the role of water in our ecosystem. But Lake Lens challenges our perception and preconceptions. Two rings, seemingly identical in material and size, reveal themselves on closer inspection to be quite different. The journey by boat across the lake rewards the viewer with deeper understanding and knowledge of the relationship between the two forms, a metaphor for the process of acquiring deep knowledge about an ecosystem.
LYCHEE BAY CANAL Urban Chain Reaction
Canton, China Comprehensive Project Fall 2015 to Winter 2016 Community Outreach
Urban water system combines freshwater, wastewater and storm water to run in a full circle. Lychee Bay Canal area is a link in the whole urban water system, and a link in the user’s experience to learn about the importance of clean waterways. The design will be the catalyst to start a chain reaction and bring all the possibilities to life. Lychee Bay community is a system that consists of the environment and the people. The design of new Lychee Bay will act as the catalyst and start a chain reaction in the canal community and release energy into the surrounding area.

MULTI-WAY BOULEVARD
South Downtown: Highway 97 study area
Highway 97, Redmond, Oregon Landscape Planning Studio, Fall 2015
The City of Redmond wants to improve the condition of US 97, the main north-south corridor, that is heavily used by through traffic as well as local traffic. We partnered with the City and University of Oregon’s Sustainable City Year Program and to explore improvements of the faculty and the facility with the creation of a multi-way boulevard.

Canal Pathway
The canal creates an iconic sense of place that invites people to pause and take refuge from the taxing heat.
The seasonal canal produces an exciting sound of rushing water that masks the noisy highway that parallels it.
Impaired Visibility
A poorly mulched stretch along the canal acts as a waterfront pathway. It is neither easy to access or navigate.

Data Input
Barcelona Urban Design project is a design inquiry from the smallest scale of people and phenomenological events to understand life in cities and design support for the City of Barcelona’s Agency of Urban Ecology. I spent 6 weeks in the 22@ district in Barcelona living, thinking and learning the Ildefons Cerda’s planned grid. The most apparent problematic experience was the noise pollution in the city. Through on site data collection and analysis, our team of 3 came up with a physically and mentally healthier solution for a high density urban area.
Integrad data into catalogues with Rhino Grasshopper Definition
Output Present size/color coded data
Interaction Intractive intervention on site for real time data and reflective social interface

Mong Kok Yau Ma Tei Central SoHo
Hong Kong Walkability Analysis As one of the most densely populated areas and the third most important leading international financial center in the world, Hong Kong is a very special region unlike any other place. Surprisingly, Hong Kong maintains a decent walkability and a very high percentage of green open space. We conducted a walkability analysis in Sheung Wan area, a typical area for residents and visitors to travel by walking in a vertical form from the hill all the way down to Victoria Harbor. After studying the current walkability in Sheung Wan, I have developed a personal impression of Hong Kong. DĂŠrive This project is looking at the disappearing sky above the concrete forest in Hong Kong. The four districts in Hong Kong represent different types of neighborhood. Yau Ma Tei -- high density residential; Mong Kok -- low rise commercial; Central -- high rise commercial; SoHo -- mixed use and entertainment. Pictures of these districts were taken straight up from standing on the street. By dividing the area of sky by the area of the whole picture, we can get the percentage of how much sky there is left above our head. Yau Ma Tei

This project is exploring urban ecotones through a series 1909 1955 of investigative processes in a proposed intervention that “does the most with the least” to improve the quality of a single site.
Based on the investigation1940s of historic trajectory, environmental behavior and human traces, solutions are proposed to conserve or alter the site so as to achieve the most with the least intervention. The Duck Pond Area of Alton Baker Park will become a much healthier habitat for native plant species and birds, as well as a more interesting and interactive public space for humans to observe the Connection over the Riverchanging VS. season.

The earliConcrete and Artificial placed Natural and Diverse er covered bridge had been compromised in the flood of 1890 which was so severe that the north approach to the bridge was washed away. The actual course of the river changed, necessitating the addition of a new span to the old bridge.

The Ferry Street Community was Eugene’s first African-American neighborhood. It was located near the foot of the DeFazio Footbridge, on the north side of the river. More African-Americans came to Eugene, despite the discriminatory laws and ethic. In1949, county officials demolished the homes and church of the ad hoc community and relocated the residents.
