PROJECT NAME:
FOOD CO. AN INDUSTRIAL COMMUNITY WASTE STREAM: REGENERATION OF CONTAINERS
LOCATION: Seattle, Washington, US.
TYPE: Group Work
TIME: 03/2022
Duwamish is a neighborhood located southwest of Seattle. The neighborhood is surrounded by Seattle's industrial community. Due to this historical background, many containers circulate and go unused in the area each year.
The project aims to use the existing containers on the site to create facilities to serve the residents in the public spaces within the community to meet their needs for public space. During the meeting with the client, the client proposed to improve the public transportation system. The project continues with the design. Using Foodlifeline as the design site, the project extends Duwamish's sustainable waste disposal and community service design principles.
The Georgetown Steam Plant, located near Georgetown in Seattle, Washington, was built in 1906 for the Seattle Power Company to provide electricity to Seattle, especially streetcars.
Boeing Plant 1 was established on the Lower Duwamish in 1916
1855 The Coast Salish people living in the Duwamish-Green Basin signed two treaties with the Territorial Governor, Isaac I. Stevens (1818-1862), ceding the land and establishing reservations, but reserved the right to hunt, fish and gather for the indigenous peoples.
In 1895, Eugene Semple, who had earlier served as Governor of Washington Territory, outlined a plan for a series of major public works projects in the Seattle area, including the straightening and dredging of the Duwamish River, both to open up the area to commercial use and to alleviate flooding.
By 1920, 4½ miles of the Duwamish Waterway had been dredged to a depth of 50 feet, with 20 million cubic feet of mud and sand going into the expansion of Harbor Island. The shallow, meandering, nine-mile-long river became a five-mile engineered waterway capable of handling ocean-going vessels.
European Americans arrived in the area in 1851 and were eventually settled by whites. The Duwamish people continue to work and fish in the area. But by the early 20th century, most of the remains of traditional life along the river had disappeared. The Duwamish basin industrial and commercial included cargo handling construction, ship concrete manufacturing, fabrication, food processing, other industrial operations.
Boeing Plant 2, further upriver, in 1936.
basin soon became Seattle's commercial core area. Activities handling and storage, marine and boat manufacturing, manufacturing, paper and metals processing, and countless operations.
The EPA declared the Lower Duamish Waterway a "superfund" site in 2001, meaning it was eligible for a special federal cleanup program due to the severity of its pollution. The EPA manages the clean-up of sediment in the river, and the Ministry of Ecology controls the sources of pollution in the river. The City of Seattle, King County, the Port of Seattle, and The Boeing Company unite as the Lower Duamish Waterway Group (LDWG).
Industrial development has resulted in the contamination of waterway sediments (river bottoms) with toxic chemicals from a variety of sources, including stormwater runoff, wastewater, and industrial practices. Most human health risks come from polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), arsenic, carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (cPAHs), and dioxins and furans.
By the end of 2015, 50%ofPCB contamination from the river bottom was removed through these early action cleanups.
PROJECT NAME: EARTHWORM & P-PATCH FARM REBUILD PROJECT
LOCATION: Seattle, Washington, US.
TYPE: Group Work
TIME: 01/2022
The site is located northeath of UW. The project has three strategies which are smart agriculture, educational farming, and ecological cycle. Create the bottom decomposer in the farm ecological chain through the cultivation of mushrooms and the feeding of earthworms. Cooperate with surrounding farms to achieve product recycling and waste utilization. Taking "food" as the theme, it integrates various experiences and entertainment to create an agricultural landscape experience, and education base. Jointly develop with technology companies, start "Future Farm", and establish a complete set of intelligent agricultural management monitor their farmland in real-time through technology.

INDUSTRIAL COMMUNITY COASTAL LANDSCAPE PROJECT LOCATION: Seattle, Washington, US.
TYPE: Group Work
TIME: 09/2021
The project is located near Salmon Bay. The project is committed to building an interactive place that showcases the surrounding ship culture and ecological environment. The project will solve the problem of pedes- trian fow obstacles caused by the subsidence of the existing plots and increase the influential building groups in the site and the connections between them to realize the efficient use of the site, improve the crowd the community, and the location. Link. The proiect also designed corre- sponding rest areas and viewing areas for the flow of people and con- nected them to the building to form a whole regional interactive viewing place.
PROJECT NAME: "BLUE TEARS"THE TRANSFORMATION AND REGENERATION OF THE ISLAND PROJECT LOCATION:
Jidiao island, Fuzhou, Fujian, China
TYPE: Individual Work
TIME: 09/2020
AREA: 239.64 Acre
Fujian Jidiao Island is located on the southeast coast of China, adjacent to the Taiwan Strait. Every summer, in the ocean near this island, there will be luminous sea water. The locals call this phenomenon of ocean glow "blue tears." In recent years, the cause of this luminous sea has also changed from harmless marine luminous organisms to luminous algae, which will compete for marine resources. The project attempts to design an ecological installation landscape to help filter harmful noctilucent algae in the ocean and stabilize the existing marine ecosystem. The designed ecological reef island will also provide an interactive viewing experience for the area.

The number of red tides between 2009-2019 is 34% of the number between 1962-2019
Total number of Noctiluca is 24% of the total number of red tides
The glowing beaches in Fujian waters have caused a surge in the number of tourists in Fujian.
The element of Luminous sea landscape
The causes of luminous water bodies in Fujian seas are complicated. Noctilucent algae treatment will not absolutely affect the appearance of the luminous ocean
Excessive
The high frequency of red tide and luminous sea
Marine life poisoning
Fisherman poisoning
Lack of ecosystem stability
Decrease in catch
Low abundance of benthic flora and fauna
Decreased production of fishery products
Reduced fishermen’s income Population loss on islands
Number of unemployed population
In 2017, toxic red tides caused local fish and shellfish to ingest toxins, and fishermen were poisoned and fishery production reduction
Number of fishermen
Number of people working outside
Only the production and cultivation of laver in this area leads to a single regional ecological structure
The simple economic structure and the worsening environment have led to a large number of population loss on the island.
