The site is a shoreline park in Alameda, which hides behind the Embarcadero highway and the railways. The shoreline park is obviously cutted by highways and railways and is abandoned. It is full of rubbish and no plants.
Within the distance of 1 mile, the major land use is residential and open space. So the issue that how the site connect with other shoreline parks and connect with the highway is important and is what I am focusing in this program.

DESIGN CONCEPT | PERMUTION In this project, I use the bridge to connect urban, wetland and channel. The syntax of the bridge coming from the grid pattern of fence I oberserved at the site. I dound that through overlay, offset and other transformation, the simple grid can become different kinds of form. I am thinking that the skeleton of the grid can be bridge itself. And the hollow space in the grid can be observatory or other kinds of places where people can stay.

Extension of the bridge | Observatory
Program & Observatory
The observatory is the extension of the bridge and sits at the highest point of the site. The observatory has cut-in seats area, so people can sit in the observatory or stand on it. Also, under the observatory, is a ideal shaded place for rest.
Surrounding & Observatory This is a enlarged site plan of the observatory area.The observatory is connected with the bridge and sitting on the wetland.
Topo & Observatory The observatory sits on the highest point of the wetland. In this case, it is a best place for overlook. And it is 10 feet higher than the ground which means people can stand under it.
Planting & Observatory The trees are planted in front of the observatory, and create a frame for the observer.

EAST CUT PLAZA
UC Berkeley Studio work April-May 2020 Tools used: Photoshop Illustrator Rhino Size: 200' * 150' | San Francisco Mike Degregorio; Paul Peters
The aim of this design is making the plaza an urban oasis of interconnected parks that brings people and parks together, a place focusing more on stimulating social interaction than beautifying leftover land fragments or creating delicate private gardens. The design began with the design matrix, the investigation of the physical model and the pattern. It provides communities a spot to get together, hold events, have lunch in the sun with friends, a place to enjoy peaceful moments, have coffee, stroll to relax. Also, it creates a place to reflect on the importance of the plaza to this community and to the city of San Francisco.

The design began with the design matrix, the investigation of the Physical model and the texture. The physical model tries to explore five different potential organization of the site, according to its urban context. And the observation of five different textures results in some potential patterns of the site.

HUTONG RENOVATION Open space Competition April-May 2019 Tools used: Photoshop Illustrator Rhino Collabrate with Yilin Dong
The site located at the centre area of Beijing. It is a old Hutong abonded for several years. At its glorious period, it is the heaven for all ages of people. However, now, the only residences either are those small children or are those elders.The past iconic place gradually become a backwater. This dead place is incompatible with the lively Beijing city. So the aim of the design is to enliven this hutong area and try to propose a prototype for hutong renovation in Beijing.

SITE ANALYSIS RENOVATION
Beijing hutongs are usually not only used by the residence but also used by the tourists. Considering this situation, one aim of the design is to find the balance between the tourists using mode and the residences using mode.
The aim of this design is to enliven the hutong area which is a iconic place of Beijng .But because of the rapid growing speed of the city, now, it kind of be a forgetten place.
Another question that we want to solve in this project is the traffic conjestion of the hutong area.There are lots of cars parking here and takes up too much space of the hutong area. We are trying to use the "smart" methods, likt the interacting walls, the interactive apps to control the use period and parking period, like some courtyard are used by tourists during day but used by residence at night

ROAD RENOVATION
Wiszo Design Studio(Intern) April-May 2019 Tools: Photoshop Illustrator Rhino ArcGIS Collaborated with Xin Sui, Boxie Li
Zhengzhou, with the population of more than 10 million, is the main city of Henan Province. However, the scrimpy, dark, narrow and dirty street does not meet zhengzhou's people as well as the tourists expectation. So the objective of this project is fulfilling the user's spiritua, emotional and daily demand. Also, we choose one node that we think is most popular among the residences and also the most important one we think. This interconnected node not only connect two major road of Zhengzhou, but also beside a very famous and beautiful channel in Zhengzhou. And we redesign this pocket, waternearby park at this interconnection.

STRATEGY | NODE
Why this node This node is the intersection of the Jingsan Road and Dongfeng Road, two main road in Zhengzhou. And it cross the Dongfeng channel, the only big channel in Zhengzhou city. At the same time, the end of this channel in connect to the Huang River which is the mother river of China. So as a city’s important place, it provide people with not only honour and memory of city, but also a area to get together. Collabrate work with Huan Rong

AQUASCAPE RECOVERY CHSLA Competition Aug-Sep 2019 Tools: Photoshop Illustrator Rhino ArcGIS Collaborated with Ziying, Li; Aoxue Chen
Baiyangdian used to be an attracting scenery and also a fishery place. However, with the construction of fish factories, the environment has been damaged. Nowadays, the sporadic tourists who appear on the beach every summer are still reminding people of the forgotten story of this town. The project aims to propose a method to recover the natural resources and construct a selfperpetuating ecological system.

BFU Studio work | Feb - May 2019 Tools used: Photoshop Illustrator Rhino Size: 94ha | Beijing, China Liu Cui
A field trip to the rural area of Beijing inspires me to carry out this project. There, the environment has been taken for granted and all but destroyed. Local villagers rely on logging to obtain a modest income. Although tourists yearn for forest tourism, the trauma caused by logging hinder the pace of them. This project aims to explore a new way of using forests to achiever a win-win situation for tourists, forests and the residents.

STRUCTURE RESEARCH
DETAIL OF EACH METAL CONNECTION
TRADITIONAL MORTISE AND TENON STRUCTURE The project star ted from investigating various mordern architectures that use motise and tenon structure. For example, the project that accompolished by the Japanese architecture Kengo Kuma. Then I got to know the four basic mortise and tenon joint modes, including horizontal joint, vertical joint, perpendicular joint and mixed joint. Moreover, I mastered the real working principle of mortise and tenon structure and explored the design strategy to apply in this project.
SPLICING AXIS CONSTRUCTION
On the basis of traditional mortise and tenon structure, the project adopts steel joint and traditional wood, which greatly improves the possibility of traditional wood structure.
