LIVING WITH THE OCEAN The 4th Nature Site Location
Kesennuma, Japan
Brief The goal of this project is to use multi-functional infrastructure along the shoreline to create liner development in responding to the post-disaster design and the tsunami risk in the city of Kesennuma, Japan. Having green corridor along the seawall to bring back the traditional Japanese landscape and creating softlanding system for the potential risk of tsunami. Artificial tide pool and fish hiding structure plug into the green corridor to further enhance the local fishing industry and provide educational function for the local resident.

Tsunami Resiliency Application From NOAA’s study, softlanding and tsunami mitigation form should be designed in a city where has high frequency earthquake. Base on the their study, triangle shape would perform best in reducing the force of tsunami. Whereas, softlanding system can also play a significant role in collecting potential dangerous debris. The flowing diagram shows the tsunami mitigation form and illustration of softlading system in a typical edge of the site.

Cross City Trail
Brief
The goal of this project is to connect physical, social, and ecological resilience responding to neighborhood typology. The Creek at Irving becomes a system that connects and impacts the neighborhood and surrounding areas. Each program was proposed to serve in multiple dimensions and scales. Trail system as a media to connect people from individual to social life. The orchard being a connecting factor responding to the community food production, to the 2012 memorial park that allows for social exchange, and finally the community center that brings the community and the surrounding neighborhoods to help foster growth through the exchange of ideas.

Seeing Keene Creek corridor as an ecological infrastructure, not only create habitat for wildlife, but also work as an important component for the whole ecological service in St. Louis River corridor.
Seeing Keene Creek corridor as a potential floodable zone to increase floodable capacity to reduce the future flood risk in neighborhood.
Seeing Keene Creek corridor as a social infrastructure to tie the surrounding neighbortogether. Providing a new identity and social value to the neighborhood.

Building System Underfloor distribution system is used to heat and cool the building. One benefit to this system is improved indoor air quality. The air in the building that is warmed by people, equipment, lighting and the solar loads from the exterior walls, indoor air pollutants are carried upwards and returned to the building’s HVAC system where fresh air is added and filtered.
Study Model
UNDER THE SAME ROOF --- “A Marketplace in Refugee Settlement” Competition Site Location
Kakuma, Kenya
Team Member
Xian Shi Yangyang Xiong
Brief
The concept of this design is “under the same roof”, using the thatched roof for the basic struc-
ture to emphasize “a big family living together”. From this proposal, the marketplace will gradually bring multifunctional public spaces by using a cluster formatted prototype.
Market Plan
Market Service Diagram The test site is located on Kakuma IV, in a designated marketplace. It is near the major camp road, with an education facility to the north, Nationokar Logga to the west and a green belt to the eastside.
With the development of this marketplace, the community Farmland begin fully functioned. It will serve other marketplace in Kakuma Camp.

THE CITY TERRACE Site Location
Brief
Downtown Minneapolis, MN
The Viking Yard – City Terrace is a two-block, 4.2 acre area in downtown Minneapolis bounded by Park Avenue, 4th and 5th Streets, and a proposed building on 5th Avenue South. The concept of this park is to shape a part of our city by creating an engaging, innovative, year-round public space. It will not only serve as the front yard before every Viking’s home game and major event hosted at the new multipurpose stadium, but will be that world class destination that draws more residents, visitors, and investment to downtown Minneapolis.
