[THE GATE WAY TO A GREAT RURAL SPACE] FALL 2015, LEHIGH VALLEY, 2000 ACRES This project is a regional proposal for Slate Belt in Lehigh county, north east Pennsylvania, which aims to find opportunities for a former mining and agriculture town. Leftover space such as abandoned quarries and hobby farms is a great opportunity to re-farm this area. With zoom in plan at the gate way area of slate belt, landscape combine with agriculture technologies, such as contour plowing and geocell, to create a productive landscape.

[FLOWING ABOVE DYNAMIC SYSTEM] SPRING 2015, NORTH PHILADELPHIA, 81 ACRES This project is about a dynamic system that has the flexibility to change based on economic status and time. This system gives me the possibilities to create countless spatial experience in a limited site through climate changing, human management and shifting topography. At the same time, adding intervention to help people experience the dynamic nature.
