LANDSCAPE TYPOLOGY OF WANGKOU Same as the rest of Wuyuan Area, The dominant landscape feature of Wangkou is the agricultural and water landscape that embraces the residential area. The landscape resources in Wangkou is of Diversity, However, The landscape quality along the river is yet to be developed. For instance, there are few accessible riverside green spaces for people to experience, No strolling plank through the cropfield for people to stroll around, etc.

The regional flooding threats the village, and the value of these circular water structure in the past is now being gradually neglect by the people. Some of these waterworks are now demolished because people gave up some water activities what their ancestors had been doing for centuries. However, it cannot be denied that some of the circular water structures and water works are not following the principle of today.

One Obvious Phenomenon of the people's use of public space in Wangkou is that most people prefer to stay in the allies. The allies become the social space for people to gather and communicate. As shown in the pictures in the allies, people eat, chat, read, and chill in such narrow spaces. However, The interior public space in the village is mostly used for big events, such as dancing, sacrifice, worship to the ancestors, etc. Another phenomenon is that the public space along the riverside is rarely used by the man, but many women, this is because the women use the river to wash clothes as their daily activities.

DESIGNED WATER ACTIVITIES AND EVENTS In the proposed water system, it frames a more sustainable and spatial structure in the village and connected different types of proposed public spaces as dramatic sequences. According to the annual water activities that were happening in Wangkou, This map shows the ambition to regain, remodel, and revitalize the identity of the village, the cultural water activities. These designed activities aim to enhance and promote tourists' and inhabitants' participation in the water activities to experience and perceive the tradition and culture of the village, a livable rural environment, which they could not find in the busy urban area. For the tourists, tourism no longer means a fast and superficial visit for the image of the village, but a more educative and interactive experience with the watery life in Wangkou. For the villagers, they will revalue these traditions of the village and learn to preserve these ancient wises. Besides, More importantly, Through these water activities, they would be closer to nature and be more proud of the land where they live.

This drawing shows the acupunctured attraction spots weaved by the new water system, These attraction spots include different intervention with different water elements. As the form of public spaces in the village is monotonous compared to those in the urban area, more diversified use of one single space in the village is proposed. Combined with the water activities and events, various use of the water public space will be achieved in the future, bringing tourists and tourists together to revitalize the tradition and culture of Wangkou. To be more explicit, A Calendar of annual water activities and events will be shown in the following drawing. This calendar promotes villagers' and tourists' participation in the watery activities all year round to enrich the countryside life of Wangkou, and to raise their awareness of the value and quality of the water landscape in this village.

The water flows from the garden to the introduced shallow water pool in Hongxi square where people gather, communicate, and participate in annual water activities and events. The design enables multiple activities happening here. In the rainy season, people can experience the water square, and in Jan., Feb., and Jun, Nuo dancing, Sacrifice to the ancestor, and harvest will take place. This square becomes a new public center for both villagers and visitors.

The tidal species are those salt and wet resistance vegetations that can well inhabit in the river edge. The section shows the different species on the river edge with the high and low tide. The tidal effect can do some benefits to the birds' foraging, The tidal can bring the food resources under the water to the tidal river edge. Therefore, When when is the low tide, the food will be left on the tidal area, attracting the birds to forage.
In the second experiment we look into how different kinds of groynes to create sedimentation area. The first type of groynes comes from our location. It is placed on the end point of the island. At first we move the bowl too gentle, so the tidal effect is not that obvious. That indicates how strong the tidal effect is influence the formation time of sedimentation.
The second type of groynes is what we saw during the rotterdam excursion. It's a series of groynes places in certain distance on the water bank, through time the "beach" will form between these groynes. When we were doing the experiment, we poured so much water in with a fast speed so the groynes we put were washed away by the strong water flow. This indicates how strong the groynes should be is related to the water flow speed.
Our last experiment is the matrix. Two columns of stakes are fixed on one side of the island. In real situation, plants are planted after some sedimentation happes, so it can help to catch the sedimentation too and gradually higher the level of it.
When it's low tide, the main water current goes out with high speed flow which creates a relatively smooth water area near the groynes where sedimentation happens. For the water goes behind the island, its speed is lower which means its easier to form the sedimentation. Thats why the right side of the groynes has more sedimentation than the left side.
When it's low tide, the high speed water goes out, but the water near groynes is slowed, especially on the edge of the groynes. The water direction changes when it meets the gryones and present as an inverted 'C' shape. Same situation happes when its high tide.
For the matrix, when high speed water goes in it, the water is obstacled by these stakes, so the speed is slow down. Where the water speed is slow, the sedimentation happes, that is inside the matrix in our case. But when we were doing the experiment, we didn't control the tide in a proper speed, the formation of sedimentation is slow. For this experiment, although it can catch sedimentation, the process is quite slow. So maybe doesn't fit in actual water situation or it can be used to assist the sedimentation formation instead of using it as a main strategy.

QUARRY STORYLINE ILLUSTRATION Through a supposed visiting sequence, The visitors can experience a series of different spaces with various textures, surfaces, vegetation, and elevation.The sequence shows visitors the process of natural forest, grassland, stone vegetation to barren ground. Six designed spaces form the visiting line with the prelude to the ending, the visitors will be pretty excited after visiting this dramatic sequence, and eventually when they reach the ending circle rest area. It is a place for people to think about the relationship between nature and artificial creation.

old memories of the past also start to disappear. The river witnesses the growth of the city and people could hardly remember the old days when they ran along the rampart, passed across the river by the floating bridge and played mahjong on the riverbank. I want to revive the connection between the old urban area and the river, to bring back the old days when people ran along the rampart, played mahjong on the riverbank, and passed across the river by floating

responsibility to take care of their grandchildren. The kids somehow confine the social activity of their grandparents and lead to the isolation of their old friends.

The elderly can come to the park with the kids and interact with their old friends, and at the same time, The kids can have fun together. By this approach, the

WATER PURIFICATION SYSTEM IN WANGKOU
This is an additional page attached to my graduation project. The idea is to activate the riverside public space by introducing the new water purification system. On the one hand, this purification system provides a sustainable environment for the village compared to discharging the grey water directly to the river. On the other hand, this purification system can trigger people's movement to the riverside landscape and appreciate the value of the riverside.
