Nowadays, most landscape designs in domestic market cannot be truly implemented due to limited budgets, and the finished products can rarely present the designers' original blueprints. In addition, the procedure of landscape in China is still the monopoly of the A-side, which limits the designers’ innovation and imagination.
As a result, the idea of going abroad for further study gradually arose in my mind. I would like to experiencethe integration of multicultural architecture and the fancy urbanized design in developed areas; I would like to emerge myself in a freer environment of design and to engage myself in a fairer procedure of design; I would like to exchanges my ideas with designers of different cultural backgrounds so as to give birth to more creative and feasible designs; I would like to learn more about the urban design strategies and methods in developed countries, so as to make up for the shortcomings of my domestic studies. Designing as a student means creating without any burdens or boundaries. In this sense, I can try my best to convert my ideas into reality, with passion and enthusiasm that are often seen in students.
I plan to pursue a career in the design industry, especially in landscape design and in the future. The landscape industry is more like a bridge connecting we human and Mother Nature, and is closely related to the ecological environment around us. With this in mind, I aspire to make some differences, especially positive ones, to the industry and even to our planet.

Location: Miami, the U.S.
Miami, located in the southeastern corner of the United States, hurricane and flooding caused by its rising sea levels is becoming part of daily life in this low-lying resort in the U.S. The problem has been one of the major factors limiting local development, threatening the safety of local residents.To help reverse the situation, through a combination of ecological and economic means, I believe this project will create an ecologically resilient coastline for Miami and address various potential problems caused by flooding.
I plan to develop a living shoreline and mangrove floating breakwater, which, compared with its traditional dike structure, can make the overall planning more economical.The seaweed breeding line and shellfish breeding tank are combined, which could provide more job opportunities for the residents. By doing so, the ecological protection measures can be carried out and the economic benefits can also be secured. Finally, the vision of Eco& Eco can be realized.
Strategy 1: Resettlement of the poor Strategy 2 : Living shoreline
1. Establish special zones for affordable housing to alleviate the housing pressure in poor areas.
2.Priority will be given to the relocation of disaster-stricken areas.
1. Restore the ecological coral reef system along the coast through artificial coral reefs to reduce the impact of the waves. 2. Coral reefs can increase the biodiversity of undersea communities.
1. Carry out volunteer activities to increase environmental awareness. 1. Recycled driftwood is reused.
Unique landscape facilities.
Wetland & mangrove restoration
1. Restore original mangrove and wetlands. 2. Wetlands and mangroves can regulate rain and floods.
1. Ecological breakwaters are combined the mangroves with tetrapods. 2. The cost of biological breakwater is lower.
1. Seaweed farming can better restore elastic landscape zones and provide more income for the poor in miami. 2. Cages are set up in the coastal zone for shellfish culture and biodiversity restoration. reducewaveenergy 1. Establish ecological scenic spots. 2. Ecological scenic spots provide more jobs. 1. Create multiple activity spaces along the coast to increase practicality.
This structure combines the breakwater with agriculture and breeding, reduces the impact of flood through ecological means, and at the same time brings some income to local residents.

The long-term lockdown management of the epidemic has brought psychological trauma to people, and animal healing is a good way to relieve depression. People can heal each other through interaction with animals. The site of this plan is located in an old community In Shanghai, and there is a lack of space for pet dog activities.
Therefore, the main intention of the project is to provide a place for people to interact with dogs through the construction of a dog-friendly park, and a quarantine site for pet dogs.
Location: Baoshan District, Shanghai
Background: The site is located next to the viaduct, surrounded by many old neighborhoods, far from the park, and lacking space for activities. There are more dog owners in surrounding communities, accounting for 43.2%
The neighborhood is too old and there is no open place to walk the dog.
I wanna go to the park but the host said it was too far away and could only go once a week.

The zigzag path can cultivate the dog's sniffing ability and enhance the interaction between people and pets. This building can be used as a training ground when the epidemic does not occur.
By installing temporary partitions, the inner door is opened to create a separate isolation space for the dog. The wide grass outside is available for dogs to play with, ensuring that there is plenty of space for pets.
A special box for the recycling of dog waste is placed in the park, which consists of a double-layer cage to decompose feces by vermicompost. The bottom of the box is connected to underground pipes that are transported to all parts of the park to provide natural fertilizer for plants.

With the progress of the times, many industries have been eliminated. How to use these urban surplus spaces has become a problem to be solved. These sites are prevalent in pollution and purification and remediation are necessary means. There are many such abandoned industrial sites along the Huangpu River in Shanghai, and I have reshaped and used the terrain to purify polluted water sources and deal with polluted soil through ecological means.
Location: Shanghai, Yangpu district
The main problems on the site are heavy pollution and low accessibility. The former site of the project is a coal field.

I change the earthwork structure of the site for water treatment, pumping the sewage from the Huangpu River, and sedimenting on the filter steps through the canal to form natural streams and wetlands. At the same time, the site ecosystem is reconstructed to restore the water self-cleaning function.

I designed a step structure to precipitate impurities. Through the decreasing height difference, the water flow is restored to clear and returns to the Huangpu River. In the process of filtration, streams and natural wetlands are formed, so that the ecosystem of the entire site is rebuilt.

Location: Harbin, China
The problem of channelization of rivers in cities has always been serious. Harbin is rich in urban water systems, and the Songhua River is the main water source with a vast basin, but there are serious pollution problems and river channelization problems. The ensuing effects are flooding and poor accessibility. This project proposes several strategies to deal with the channelization of rivers, and puts forward coping strategies for the surrounding elderly groups. Increase storage capacity by rebuilding revetments, restoring wetlands, ecological islands and ecological reservoirs.
It's difficult to access to the water. We can't carry out hydrophilic activities.
The pollution here is very serious, affecting the lives of our surrounding residents. wanna play by the river!
Due to the canalization of the river, the function of regulating and storing flood has been reduced, and the phenomenon of river water backflow has occurred, affecting the residents.

The aging of Harbin's population is becoming more and more serious, and the site is surrounded by elderly communities, and the needs of the elderly should be taken seriously.
