In - Between When we are talking about "In-Between", I think the most important thing is to define the two poles such as inside and outside, expansion and contraction, part and whole, black and white, past and future... The establishment of polarity is the basis for the definition and description of "In-Between". As a landscape designer, I need to pay attention to all the possibilities between the poles to recognize the real world, and take every pole in account, learn to balance them to cope with issues and to create a more ideal environment.

01 SPONGE DEFENCE BETWEEN EXPANSION AND CONTRACTION Site Location: Shanghai, China Site Area: 908.6 acres Date: 09/2020 Instructor: Yichun Liang Team Work with Shuai Yan Conceptual Design (70%) Technical Drawings (60%) With rapid EXPANSION of the city and CONTRACTION of ecological wetland, Shanghai is becoming more and more vulnerable when facing flood, I inverted the relationship between EXPANSION and CONTRACTION of city and wetland, creating more wetland to against flood and providing more ecological space for human and wild species.
BACKGROUND | Shanghai facing Sea Level Rise Shanghai previously had large areas of wetlands, but the rapid expansion of the city and excessive exploitation of water resources led to land subsidence. As the sea level rises, 70 percent of the city will be below sea level in 2100, and large-scale flooding will easily occur when storm surges or heavy rainfall occur, the whole city is under great threat.

SPECIES DIVERSITY RESTORATION Wetlands with different salinities provide habitats for different plants and microorganisms, then the predators will choose to inhabit, and eventually biosphere suitable for different salinities will be formed naturally. Species diversity can be enriched through that way.
COASTAL PUBLIC SYSTEM This section aims to create more public space for citizens, which enable citizens to do various outdoor activities and to increase awareness of protecting wetland habitat. At the same time minimize the damage of urbanization and balance the proportion of ecological, human and economy.

02 EXTENDING SPACES BETWEEN FOCAL DOTS AND NETS Site Location: Beijing, China Site Area: 32.4 acres Date: 10/2019 Instructor: Yufei Ding Individual Work
In the site of urban village I chose, the form of open space is like a NET, and three central spaces are like FOCAL POINTS. I used these points and net to make up three different systems to cope with issues in the site and to bring villagers a healthier lifestyle.
URBAN VILLAGES FACING DEMOLITION Around 1980s, lots of villagers from nearby poured into the Beijing and became laber of Beijing. After 40 years urbanization, with poor envirenment, a large number of urban villages bacome an obstacle to the integration of urban and rural areas, which leads to serious demolition issue.

03 URBAN FOUR-LEAF CLOVER BETWEEN FORM AND FUNCTIONS Site Location: Shanghai, China Site Area: 22.3 acres Date: 11/2020 Instructor: Yufei Ding Individual Work In the site, connecting CBD, subway station and green space is the main FUNCTION of the corridor. Green space is located in the center of CBD and needs to be connected with CBD in all directions around it. Therefore, I designed a FORM of radial four-leaf clover with subway station as the center to meet the FUNCTION of close path distance.
BACKGROUND | Citizens need sports spaces With the rapid development of business in Beijing, the city is occupied by more and more buildings and hard paving, and the public activity space is less and less. Therefore, it is difficult for citizens working in CBD to meet their demands for sports and leisure.

SKATEBOARIDNG AREA The skateboarding area is located in the quiet area of the park, surrounded by green space, away from the dense traffic flow. Skateboard field provides different slopes for people who love sports. Different slopes are suitable for different groups of people, so that beginners and masters can use them efficiently.The auxiliary seats are integrated into the raised terrain and can be used as a amphitheater during rallies.
RUNNING TRACK The running track is connected with the elevated corridor through the raised terrain, creating space for people to exercise. Both sides of the runway are raised green space, which can not only isolate noise but also block the crowded road, giving people the feeling of being in the ecological nature.
SUBWAY STATION ENTRANCE The elevated corridor directly connects the subway exit to the surrounding CBD, making it easier for people to commute.
MODEL | Commuter flow analysis Rised corridor combines with the site topography, connecting the subway station with the CBD around the site, forming a four-leaf curving line centered around the subway station, and providing people with an efficient commuting system.
MODEL | Planar morphology display The subway station is located in the center of the site, and the radial rised corridor forms a four-leaf curving line centered around the subway station.
04 THE CONTAINERS WITH LIFE BETWEEN INSIDE AND OUTSIDE Site Location: Tianjin, China Site Area: 27.8 acres Date: 07/2020 Instructor:Luren Ji Team Work with Shiyi Guo Conceptual Design (50%) Technical Drawings (60%)
Ecological and commemorative design strategies are adopted to solve the site problem after the explosion and reuse the contaminated soil in the site. The heavily contaminated soil concentrated in the site is dug out to form a memorial line. IN the line,the narrative space sequence is created through different combinations of "monument". OUT of the memorial line,human access is restricted , and ecological restoration with phytoremediation is operated in the terrain shaped by digging out and filling in. For those who have been IN the event , it is a place to remember the dead. For those who have been OUT , it is a space for recreation and meditation.

SKETCHES Ancient architectures & streetscapes
Ancient architectures and street scenes contain human needs. The beauty found in ancient architectures and street scenes comes from our perception of the natural texture and sense of history, which can provide inspiration for my creation. Many ancient architectures are made of natural materials such as stone or wood, and nothing is more impressive than these natural textures that exude a sense of history. Many designers despise imitating nature, seeing it as a mere act of copying. In fact, we dream of getting as close to nature as possible. Bad design exists only because designers do not study nature deeply and only take it at face value. The depiction of ancient buildings enables me to understand the traditional history and culture, and to cherish the heritage of these human architectures. After all, due to the city expansion and unreasonable planning, the existing ancient villages may become lines and color on the sketch book in the near future.
Streetscape | California Mark pen Inspired by Mondrian's abstract color palette, the entire painting is basically a linear depiction of street scenes in primary colors.
architectures in the village | China Watercolor I painted in architectures of ancient village near my school in my sophomore year. The ancient village is gradually disappearing in the urban expansion, they may only be the impression on the sketchbook in the near future.
Temple in the village | China Watercolor The temple is the oldest and most traditional architecture in the ancient village, and the most ornate and complex in the local due to the worship of gods.
The historical architecture in the village | China Watercolor The civilian architectures in the village are relatively simple, and the stone texture used to build the architecture exudes a sense of history.
