01 LINEAR LANDSCAPES Site: Phong Dien, Can Tho Time: 01/2019 - 05/2019 Instructor: Kate Orff, Dilip da Cunha, Geeta Mehta, Thaddeus Pawlowski, Julia Watson, Linh K. Pham Group Work
Can Tho has begun to urbanize along roads that cut through agriculture fields. It fragments already shrinking farms, displaces hundreds of farmers, and increases impervious surfaces in a flood-prone area. Our project looks at how the existing landscape conditions can be leveraged to endorse the traditional canal-based linear urbanization pattern. Incentivizing restricted urban accumulation on higher ground created by canal driven sediment deposition would prevent encroachment on farmland, thus preserving the economic, ecological, and social co-benefits they provide.

Agriculture in Phong Dien Agriculture provides jobs to a major portion of the population of Can Tho, and takes up over 80% of the land. These landscapes act as water holding systems. Not only is this a significant part of the culture of this region, it also provides opportunities for eco-tourism.
Orchard Rice Field Road Urbanization
Sediment Accumulation Section This would be based on the sediment deposited along the banks of canals and rivers to create higher ground that acts as natural levees. These zones were historically urbanized in the Mekong delta due to the dependence on water transportation and as a way to stay safe from floods.

Intervention 3: Introduction of Linear Wetlands
Building Typologies The region along the canal forms the higher basin, which becomes the development zone. The highest density of urbanization is close to the primary canal, and this density decreases as you go closer to the tertiary ones. The in-between zones continue to be orchards. A similar topographical pattern can be seen on the larger scale, where the ground is higher close to the primary canals, and lowest close to tertiary ones. In this case, the lower basin forms wetlands that add to the water holding system.

02 Contested Sights Site: Willets Point, NYC Time: 01/2019 - 05/2019 Instructor: Damon Rich Group Work
Willets point is located in Queen, NY. In Willets Point, there is a triangle-shaped land called Iron Triangle. This is a triangle that attracts developers and governors who want to take advantage from it. However, during almost 100 hundred years lots of proposal have planned to hap- pen here, Willets Point is still the same. Why Willets Point is abandoned by the development? Why all the plan have not realized? For now nobody lives in there, so who can represent this area? Who wants to get benefit from this large piece of undeveloped land?

Appletopia Site: Hudson Valley, NYS Time: 09/2018 - 12/2018 Instructor: Lee Altman Group Work Apples form one of the most iconic industries of the Hudson Valley, with orchards dating back as far as the 15th century. New York State’s apple production in the US is second only to Washington State, with orchards accounting for just under 90% of the state’s acreage of fruit crops. However, apple orchards have experienced a drastic decrease of 26% in the past 20 years due to increasingly unaffordable operating costs, labor shortage, a lack of facilities, waste disposal, etc. For the remaining orchards in the valley, two existing models promise economic sustainability: “pick-your-own” farms and hard cider tours. Based on these trends, we propose Hubs and Cider Factory Renovation and Trail to build upon the apple industry’s more public aspects, taking advantage of existing infrastructures.

Molding a Megaregion Site: Tennessee River Valley Time: 09/2018 - 10/2018 Instructor: Lee Altman Group Work In 1933 an organization known as the Tennessee Valley Authority was created as the first “alphabet agency” of the New Deal under FDR. The valley and surrounding areas had been hard hit by the great depression and the government saw opportunity to step in and make a difference. The purview of the TVA was to create a navigation channel along the length of the TN River and mitigate flooding, and in doing so create a reliable energy source with hydro powered dams. On top of this they were charged with replenishing a depleted landscape, and revitalizing a depressed community and economy. Through large scale government investment a series of TVA Dams were built along the length of the river, creating a reliable connection from Knoxville at it’s head to it’s convergence with the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers. By the mid 1940s the dams were completed and the new, cheap, and reliable energy source. For the 100 years or so the TVA would have to adapt to changing times and increased demand, and create new sources of energy. This constant adaptation attracted a series of staple industries to move to and from the Valley in a boom-bust cycle. All of these industries can be felt in the current economic and industrial landscape today.
The Textile industry can be linked to the origins of the TVA. As part of their charge the TVA began to retrain farmers and supply them with a specialized fertilizer to replenish the soil which had been depleted by years of over farming. The Poultry industry in northern Alabama can also be linked to similar origins. When TVA surveyors came to the depleted region they saw that this area had sandy soil which was not ideal for crops. Because of this the TVA instead encouraged and aided the small scale Poultry industry. Lastly, the Auto industry spawned somewhat more indirectly from the areas military past. This complex patchwork of industries can still be seen spread throughout the Valley. This network has allowed for a diversified industrial landscape and increased economic sustainability.

Wondering what the safest, cleanest and most economical mode of industrial transportation is? It's the barge—and the waters of the Tennessee River provide safe passage for billions of dollars of goods each year.
City Analysis Though there have been many criticisms of the TVA throughout its existence, it has been a government subsidized laboratory for innovation. This has molded not only the Tennessee Valley region but its model has influenced development on a global scale. Today the same process has been happening with the gig city model in Chattanooga, with many cities throughout the US and the world coming to learn about the program, with many adopting a similar system.

Fabrics and Typologies Site: Hong Kong, China Time: 09/2018 - 12/2018 Instructor: Richard Plunz Group Work Kowloon Walled City was a small patch of Hong Kong located in the very heart of Kowloon peninsula, historically the center of Hong Kong. In some way, it can also be called a city of anarchy, which was managed by a tribe with a well-graded rank system as the basis of cohesion following the hierarchy of the early Qing Dynasty. The tribe protected people who lived in the walled city although they charged a certain protection fee. Over time KWC became an incredibly dense “city� and at its peak apparently having a population as high as 50,000 people. However, due to its embarrassment to official policy and to the decaying living condition, the walled city was demolished in 1993. Now on the same site, a park has replaced the old structure with the only preserved piece being the Yamen, which was once used as a courthouse by Qing Dynasty officials. Kowloon Walled City is a disappeared urban space, a memory of tribal cultural life of Hong Kong people. As in other parts of Hong Kong, this place once taught us how the grass-rooted Hong Kong society could survive.
Existing Site Plan
Population Density Growth Kowloon Walled City is the most densely populated places on earth which it holds 33,000 inhabitants in just 6.9 acres in 1987.
1898 700 Inhabitants
1940 2,000 Inhabitants
1950 5,000 Inhabitants
1973 10,000 Inhabitants
1980 30,000 Inhabitants
1990 50,000 Inhabitants
History 1842
The Qing Dynasty leases the island of Hong Kong to Great Britain ‘in perpetuity’ after its defeat in the First Opium War.
After the Second Opium War, the Kowloon Peninsula and Stonecutters Island are also ceded to Britain ‘in perpetuity’.
1898
The Walled City is cut off from China when Britain leases the New Territories - the hilly area north of Kowloon Peninsula up to the newly defined Chinese border - for 99 years.
1860 1911 The Qing Dynasty falls, China becomes a republic..
1933 Hong Kong’s colonial government attempts to clear Kowloon Walled City, but is thwarted by protests from locals and Canton officials. It tries, and fails, again in 1947 and 1962.
1945
Britaain enforces a total ban on opium smoking in its colonies. The Walled City’s ambiguous legal status in Hong Kong makes it an ideal haven for vice, and it develops into what the colonial governor describes as ‘a cesspool of iniquity, with heroin divans, brothels and everthing unsavory.
1963
The Kowloon Walled City Kai Fong Association - an informal, community-run ‘government’ - is founded.
1994
Demolition of the Walled City is completed in April, just over a year after it began. Construction of Kowloon Walled City started in 1995.
Proposed Site Plan and Axon What we propose, is a rebirth of the myth which once grew with Hong Kong at its periphery and to retrieve the collected memory and tribal culture of this place that become the identity of Hong Kong.

BUND IN THE AIR Site: Pudong, Shanghai Time: 09/2016 - 03/2017 Instructure: Jungang Chu Individual Work The concept of the project is to bring a totally different skyline and birds viewing experience in the air to people. It locates on an land surrounded with large mansions in Shanghai along the Huangpu River. It has a complex set of issues including the declining area of the wet land. Recently, an extinct bird called Plegadis Falcinellus has been discovered. The design of the park is intended to provide a habitat for birds especially the Plegadis Falcinellus, meanwhile creating aerial landscape in a linear way.

Triangle and Trail Site: Anhui, China Time: 03/2015 - 04/2015 Instructor: Jungang Chu Individual Work In 2017, there have been many heavy rainfall events in Anhui province. The rainfall events lead to a series of issues, such as ecological degradation of urban rivers, lack of open space around urban riverfront and limited development of urban riverfront area. In fact, the city and riverfront have a close relationship. Great riverfronts are places where people, plants and animals coexist. The central area of the site is intersected with two abandoned railway lines and one active railway line. It leads to the formation of a vacuum triangle, surrounded by fences and viaducts. The concentration of schools has also led to a lack of court for student activities. As a result, the project hopes to form a public accessible zone that will provide a venue for nearby student and residents even during a rainstorm day.

The Huai river basin is located in-between the north and south climate zone of China. The change of climate is complicated and this gives rise to the inhomogeneous of precipitation. Many tributaries in the basin are shaped like a fan shaped network and the speed of flood is rapid. The duration time is brevity in the upstream of Huai river and its southern mountainous area. So Bengbu is very prone to flood.

Vine Bridge The vine bridge is in the southeast of the garden, surrounded by rockeries, dotted with wisteria.
Interplay Between View and Circulation
Enframed Scenery The entrance is tortuous and narrow and the vision is extremely compressed. Then people feel suddenly enlightened after walking to the end and entering the main space. Zigzag
Depression
Overall Scenery The main space has no vision occlusion and gives a sense of expansion, which contrasts with the entry space.
Straight
Wide
Leak Through Scenery The view of space here is not completely isolated from the rockeries or walls. The view of the window leads people to get on the rockery, which is highly orientational.

10 Radiant Broadway Junction Site: Brooklyn, NYS Time: 07/2018 - 08/2018 Group Work
Broadway Junction is the third largest transit hub in Brooklyn, it suffers from not being a stopping point for travelers(100,000/ day) and serves current residents minimally. The hub is disjointed on a vertical and a horizontal level, causing it to not being a stopping point for travelers and being a transit operator only at a system scale, rather than at an urban scale. Concept-Our project intends to use program and infrastructure as catalysts to derive connection nodes within the transit hub, and inject the connections with stopping points for travelers and residents to enjoy. So we design a major regional destination offering a range of housing, retail and entertainment options, new community institutions and local jobs. 1> Combine irregular lots. 2> Introducing a public square to the north of the main entrance.

11 OTHER WORKS Site: Shanghai, China Time: 2013- 2017 Individual Work
Those works selected form my undergraduate study including paintings, carving and photography. I prefer to portrait photography since I think everybody has two sides: beautiful and ugly. I tried to catch those beautiful moment and express power through those pictures.
Photograph 2016
Those portrait photographs showed unique beauty by using various colors. I highlighted the downsides of the model to contrast the beauty in the photographs, such as the braces and freckle.
