THE DYNAMIC CYCLE Landscape Architecture
encourages systematic thinking in the form of a Dynamic Cycle. I believe that through a responsive and reciprocal circle, my designs let diverse species 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.

THE JOURNEY OF WATER

Alton Baker Park, Eugene Oregon Landscape Architecture Design Studio, Spring 2014 Independent Work
1860
1892
Based on the investigation 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 changing season.

Connection over the River The completion of the second Ferry Street Bridge replaced the wooden covered bridge of 1876. The earlier 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.
Flood Reshapes the River 100 year flood: >1% chance of flood per year

African-American Settlement 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.
The “Duck Pond” Came into Being The City decided to purchase and repurpose this large farm land into a large public park and continued doing so until it grew from a small 20 acre parcel to its current size of around 400 acres. The park is named after Alton F. Baker who was essential in the process of developing and building Alton Baker Park.

LYCHEE BAY CANAL The Urban Chain Reaction
Canton, China Comprehensive Project Fall 2015 to Winter 2016 Independent Work 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 of new Lychee Bay 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 will act as the catalyst in generating the energy in the canal community and release them into the surrounding area.

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.

A poorly mulched stretch along the canal acts as a waterfront pathway. It is neither easy to access or navigate.

Life Cycle of Water and Us
Waverly, Pennsylvania Site Specific Landscape Art Installation Overlook Field School, Summer 2015 Independent Work
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.

Assembling Large Ring Sculpture
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.

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

SANJO FLOW Watercolor
Sanjo Keihan Transit Station, Kyoto, Japan Landscape Architecture Design Studio, Summer 2013 Sanjo Keihan Central Transit Station is located in Downtown Kyoto. The project envisioned how a newer part of the city could be designed in harmony with the natural and cultural context. The design engages Japanese vernacular landscape architecture issues and serves as a shared vision of the uniqueness of the Kyoto genre. The design idea was enlivened by visits to the many temples and gardens of Kyoto and the extraordinary craftsmanship and materiality of the Kyoto environment. The spiral geometry is inspired by Daishin-in, the 14th Century Buddhist Zen Temple. Using watercolor as a medium in designing this historic capital of Japan is immediate and precise.

STOREFRONT DESIGN GUIDELINES Downtown Eugene, Oregon City of Eugene Planning Division May 2016 SketchUp & InDesign Storefronts are the primary point of contact with businesses and are critical to the identity and integrity of a place. A successful storefront design helps define the character of the business, and attracts both repeated and new customers. Storefronts also enhance the sidewalk experience for everyone, contributing to healthy and successful downtown environment. While the public sidewalks supplement the storefront design, many improvements are very simple and achievable by owners.
Mixed usage of materials distinguishes the storefront. Utilize external lights to Illuminate the signs and awnings. Outdoor seatings connect the business to the sidewalk.
Sidewalks should be wide enough to allow shoppers to pass each other.
Storefront without Design Suggestions
Sign bands above the storefronts are essential to hold the pedestrianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s view. Awning should complement the building facade. Lit storefronts are more welcoming than dark storefronts. Blade signs bands are more visible for customers approching from the sidewalk. At least 60 percent of the storefront should be seethrough glass. Keep window displays simple and representative. Do not clutter glass with unnecessary stikers or flyers. Planters vitalize the storefront.
