1. REINHABITING OF ORANGUTANS

PROJECT 1: REINHABITING OF ORANGUTANS

Individual Work Type : Conceptual design

Time : 2021.12-2022.2

Location : Sumatra, Indonesia

Palm oil, as the world's most traded vegetable oil, has the characteristics of wide use and high oil production. By 2022, 98 percent of Indonesia's lowland rain forests will be gone forever, as palm oil plantations expand and rain forests shrink. And these rainforests are where life lives, so the loss of biodiversity is getting worse. Therefore, this design takes the Sumatran orangutan as an example to explore the method of organic integration of oil palm planting and biodiversity.

GLOBAL OIL PALM IMPORT AND EXPORT ANALYSIS

The world's top palm oil exporters are Indonesia and Malaysia. Imports from large to small are: India,China,Pekistan,Netherlands,Spain,Itay,Nige ria,United States,German,Russia.

Global palm oil production: 72 000 000 t

Planting Stage

Processing Stage

Sumatra is home to one of the best tropical rainforests in the world, rich in biodiversity. Due to uncontrolled land use, there have been many abandoned lands where oil palm cannot be grown.

The land for planting oil palm was obtained by cutting down tropical rainforest, and it expanded rapidly.

SUMATRAN ORANGUTAN ANALYSIS

Sumatran orangutans build their nests at a height of about 30m every night to rest.

The Sumatran orangutan will travel daily at a height of about 20m, which is the main travel area.

Due to the height restrictions of fruit trees, Sumatran orangutans will pick food within a height of 5-15m.

Sumatran orangutans can walk no more than 50m on land.

Due to the deforestation of the rainforest, the original habitat of the Sumatran orangutan has disappeared, leaving them homeless.

The range of human activities is mainly on the ground, and the upper limit is the height of oil palm fruit picking.

RAINFOREST WASTELAND OIL PALM PLANTATION

rainforest rainforest wasteland orangutan habitat

STRATEGY MAP

Reduce oil palm plantations and restore buffer zones to provide food space for Sumatran orangutans, while supplementing economic gains through intercropping.

Export

Intercropping peanuts, ginger and other crops can not only provide nutrients to the soil where oil palm grows, but also provide farmers with economic benefits before the oil palm fruit matures.

With the completion of the buffer zone, the establishment of ecological corridors for Sumatran orangutans to travel, rest and other activities can meet the orangutan's demand for height.

The habitat composition of the Sumatran orangutan is gradually stabilized, and the pedestrian plank road is appropriately interspersed, which can promote the development of tourism while popularizing the endangered species to humans.

Farmers

Obtain economic benefits by planting and selling oil palm fruits.

Take a tour of oil palm plantations, sumatran orangutans habitats, rainforest buffer zones.

Plantation

By planting durian, figs and other tree species that orangutans like to eat, a buffer zone is established to initially provide food and habitat for orangutans.

PROJECT 2: TIMING TASTE

Individual Work Type : Park design

Time : 2022.1-2022.6

Location : Nanjing, China

The design site is located in the northeast of Baguzhou, Nanjing City, Jiangsu Province, with a total area of about 53 hectares. The site is mainly agricultural production, and there are problems such as single land use form and lack of service facilities. The project design aims to adapt to the agricultural production characteristics of the site itself, and proposes three strategies of traditional agriculture, interactive agriculture and smart agriculture. Planting different types of plants makes the four seasons have different landscapes and eating experience. While improving the quality of life of the surrounding residents, it can also promote the development of tourism.

PROJECT 3: IMMORTAL MEMORY

Individual Work Type：Retrofit design

Time：2022.8-2022.10

Location：Beijing, China

Wan'an Cemetery, located in Haidian District, Beijing, is one of the earliest modern cemeteries in Beijing's history. The cemetery itself is rich in history and culture, but it does not give full play to its advantages. In addition, due to urban expansion, the cemetery originally located in the suburbs is located in the city center area, and the functions carried by the cemetery cannot meet the needs of its existing users. Therefore, through this design, I want to transform the cemetery into a dynamic place with functions such as mourning, rest and education based on the traditional Five Elements.

Tianshan Cemetery

The cemetery is located in the suburbs, mainly plain wasteland, with simple road traffic, and the cemetery service personnel are mainly people who come to worship.

Tianshou Cemetery (1997)

Foshan Cemetery (1988) Changan Yuan Cemetery (2000)

Tianshan Cemetery (1988)

Wanan Cemetery (1930)

Babaoshan Revolutionary Cemetery (1949)

Taizi Valley Cemetery

The cemetery is located in the city center with developed transportation and many types of land. The cemetery should serve both the mourners and the surrounding residents and students.

Problems

1. The cemetery has been built for a long time, and the urban expansion makes it unable to meet the needs of the current population.

2. The cemetery uses the "five elements" as the basis for the division of the tomb area, but it is superficial and fails to reflect its core.

Opportunities

1. We can use this platform to educate the public about the traditional Chinese Five Elements culture. expansion makes it unable to meet the needs of the current population.

2. The public can participate in the study of historical and cultural science through the cemetery.

3. The geographical position is superior, which can provide a good place for leisure and recreation for the surrounding residents.

MASTER PLAN PROCESS

The most fundamental of the five elements is water, so the water system connects the whole area in series, and the park is preliminarily divided according to the orientation of the five elements.

The road network is rearranged according to the updated terrain and water system, which enriches the tour route and improves the accessibility of the whole park.

The space is further created by planting native plants, and full use of different styles of tree species increases vitality according to the theme of different partitions.

Finally, according to different spaces, different forms of venues such as memorial service, education and recreation are arranged.

HIERARCHICAL ANALYSIS

It is divided according to the five elements of the five elements, and the five areas are connected and interconnected by the water system representing the root. The interior styles of the areas are different. Structures, pavements, tombstones, etc. all use the unique colors, materials, and pavement of each area. In terms of planting, different plant combinations are formed according to different zones.

4: NEW SPONGE LAND

Individual Work Type : Retrofit design

Time : 2022.11-2022.12

Location : Beijing , China

As one of the important traffic nodes in Haidian District, Shangqing Bridge has a large daily traffic flow. At the same time, the Shangqingqiao area is also a high-risk area for waterlogging in Beijing, and its drainage capacity is weak, which can easily cause water accumulation on the roads, posing a great threat to traffic and personnel safety. Therefore, in this design, according to different topographical structures, different drainage and seepage methods are adopted according to local conditions, and the collected rainwater is used for plant watering. Finally, redesign the green space function according to the different types of surrounding land use, and provide a reasonable space for people's leisure and entertainment on the basis of satisfying the relief of waterlogging.
