PERSONAL STATEMENT When I visited ancient domestic towns and historical landmarks, I found that excessive exploitation and the introduction of commercial brought certain damage to the precious heritage. However, among them are important and influential factors within the cultural development and historical protection. In my perspective, attention needs to be paid to heritage protective measures, examining the appropriate actions to be taken to bring out favourable landscape experience as well. For all I knew, There are abundant historical resources around the world which attracts thousands of tourists every day. Meanwhile, the repairing work is conducted on an ongoing basis. It dawns me that the awareness of heritage protection is far more than protection, but to demonstrate its history, beauty and culture to the public. And yet, the current heritage protection development in China lags behind the advanced international level. By drawing upon my undergraduate courses in landscape designing, I make every endeavour to improve my designing ability and aesthetic sense. Ranking 1st place in the university, I have obtained various scholarships due to my excellence in academic performance. Poring over relevant literature, exploring computing skills, and constructing designing portfolio based on on-site research, all these measures would expedite my graduate-level research in the landscape programme. In 2016, the Aoya Star Landscape Design Competition enabled me to fully get involved in a huge project, including preliminary plan, model production, and drawing. As the team leader, I delved into extracting local culture of Tengchong, composing a creative cultural village that could help increase local people’s income, bringing a sense of identity with culture, and contributing to the sustainable culture.In 2017, I took part in the University Landscape Design Competition. Facing the difficulty of how to emphasize the railway culture, I devoted myself to the reading of erudite books which helped me establish a theoretical foundation. After exploring the site condition, I proposed the “Catalysts Theory” to remodelling the venue, which directly led the team to win the Silver Award. Though I have carved out a comfortable niche in my undergraduate studies, my motivation to continue learning is reflected in my aspiration of solving practical puzzles and the desire to fulfil my professional goal. Learning in the premier university would provide me with a challenging and highly stimulating context for me to learn up-to-date theories. In your world-known faculty, the MSc Landscape Heritage programme would train students to study with high efficiency, which is what I am searching for. After researching what the course entails and with the rewards it holds, I hope to take a degree at such university to obtain the qualifications and experience I need to follow my desired career path. I would put significant involvement in my future study based on my industry and talents.

Erxianqiao Urban Park Urban Park Design (Academic-Group) 2017.07 3rd Year Semester 2 Chengdu,Sichuan,China Site Analysis, Gather Information, Summarize The Design Strategy, Draw Renderings Pan Xiang,pan@sicau.edu.cn
This design is to retrofit a brownfield into an urban green park. Due to urban renewal of Chengdu city, the abandoned and fragmented rail freight site has been planned by local government as a public green park to service the neighborhood community. A catalyst strategy has been used to solve the fragmented circulation issue. Rainwater management strategy is used to reduce water pollution. There is also a 30-year planting process recovery plan for the brownfield. It allows the site to keep its industrial culture, while providing environmental-friendly space for residents.

REGIONAL CONTEXT
Erxian bridge area is located in the northeast of Chengdu City, Sichuan province. In planned economy times, it used to be the main railway freight transfer center of Chengdu, surrounded by numerous factories. However, since the size and function of the city were adjusted with the change of national policy, the factories in Erxian bridge area were moved to the suburbs which caused these lands abandoned by the city.
HISTORY
Affected by national policy, these factories were moved from the city to the suburbs of Chengdu. So the land which was polluted by these factories becomes desolate without anybody caring for it.
Site used to be the Chengdu East Freight Station. There were a lot of warehouses, logistics companies and stateowned factories.
What can we do? How can we make this area become dynamic?

Hospital Courtyard Landscape Design Landscape Design （Academic-Individual) 2017.07 4th Year Final Design Work Chengdu,Sichuan,China Pan Xiang,pan@sicau.edu.cn
This project is a courtyard landscape design for West China Hospital of Sichuan University in Chengdu. With “evidence-based design” as the basic principle, research and analysis were conducted on the surrounding environment and the basic situation of user population. Through the combination of “medical +” and analysis result, new circulation, sensory garden, roof garden, and rain garden have been designed as the key strategies. The courtyard landscape has been reshaped, in order to provide a sustainable, healthy area for patients, workers and visitors.

REGIONAL CONTEXT
The West China Hospital of Sichuan University is located in No. 57 Guoxue Lane, Wuhou district, Chengdu City, Sichuan province. It is one of the top general hospitals in western China. The West China Hospital covers an area of 500 acres and has a building area of more than 60,000 square meters. It serves a lot of people and deals with various complex diseases. Because it locats in the centre of the city, the supply of land properties are insufficient. The original design has expanded the usage of the building area as much as possible, leading to a low availability of outdoor space, more shadows in this place and some other problems. Such things are all bad for the remission of illness.

First of all, the part of the river with huge ecology potential should be chosen to establish a core area of river ecological restoration.
CONTACT
Through the river in Quebec that connects other urban agglomerations, an energetic city circle can be developed.
Various activities along the river are richened with the connection between the St. Charles River and the St. Lawrence River as a whole, developing a complete linear urban open space.
The St. Charles River is regarded as the central environment of the urban open space and connections are built between the river and various parts of the city to create more innovative activities.
Leisurely travel opportunities as well as a more comfortable and low-carbon living environment are provided by the river for people around it.

RIVER MODEL DESIGN
Coregonus artedi, commonly known as the cisco, is a North American species of freshwater whitefish in the family Salmonidae. It is widely distributed in the five Great Lakes in the northwest and the St. Lawrence River in Quebec. Its number is decreasing remarkably because of people’s overfishing and the deterioration of the river ecological environment.
1.Hydro fluctuation belt
There are many ecological Hydro-Fluctuation Belts in St. Charles River due to lots of bends and different speeds in the inside and outside of the curves. These Belts not only have great impact on the river’s shape, but also do some river bank damage to the ecological environment. However, such an ecological Hydro-Fluctuation Belt can often have some good ecological potential. river
When they begin to be mature, they migrate along the river to their birth place to breed. 2.Water erosion
At the bends of the river, the speed of the water on the outer pressure side is faster, and the water pressure and friction force are big. So the erosion on the outer side is large. On the inner erosion side of the water, the speed is low, which may easily causes sediments deposit in the water.
The fish develop and grow very rapidly because of the abundant food resources in the river.

3.Swamp-dike-pond complex
First of all, in the circumstance of water erosion, plants with plant long roots and good soil-consolidation ability should be slow water planted. It can reduce the flow of water and water erosion. As for the sedimentations of river, the forest-swamp and dike-pond composite system is used to guide and purify the infiltration water to reduce the content of nitrogen and phosphorus in the water. tree swamp
4.Ecosystem
This model is based on river bends, which improves the green inpact ecological environment of the river bends and provides a good habitat for fish and other living things in the river. At the same time, such kind of processing mode of the river can be fully used to the entire river space. green space
Fish eggs feed on the bottom of the lake and then gradually grow up to be fries. They go into the river and absorb more nutrients for their growth.
RIVER SUSTAINABLE DESIGN Dike-pond Ecosystem This system mainly use the long-root plants to slow down the outside water. Meanwhile it can enrich the interactions between plants’ roots and the soil and develop a stable nutritional environment that is suitable for the growth of microorganisms, shrimp and shellfish. Also it provides Coregonus artedi with sufficient food and a stable habitat. Flood Buffer Zone In the area where floods are more likely to happen, antiwater-logging plants is used to stable the ecological foundation of the bank protection.
