Christine Urban Design & GIS Analysis
This portfolio incorporates the projects that i worked on during the Master of City and Regional Planning program in Pratt Institute, and while the internships in NYC Department of Transportation and Sam Schwartz. The contents include green infrastructure design, building and neighborhood redesign, open space design, and comprehensive plan. Furthermore, this portfolio demonstrates the GIS mapping and analysis skills as well as graphic design ability for logos and signage. In my most of designs, the idea of creating a walkable, bikable, and mixed-use environment is added in. My design processes were also affected by the spirit of Wabi-Sabi, which accepts and appreciates the beauty of imperfectness and impermanence. I believe that a better planning and design is to understand the overall existing condition of social, cultural, economic, and built environments, and then develop design plan based on the existing condition or through dwellers’ feedback even though the conditions or opinions are not great sometimes. In addition, an urban designer/ planner must possess a keen-observant eye. My supplemental materials of photography work in this portfolio deliver the details that I reflected my life experiences from various cities.

Project Growing Up: An Evol ving Organism TASk
Reimaged and repurposed the former Bayview Correctional Facility as a socially-driven, and climate-resilient vertical farm, which demonstrated replicable examples of high-efficiency, organic urban agriculture.
DESCRIPTION
The project applied three farming methods -- aquaponics, aeroponics, and indoor mushroom cultivation -- with rooftop design and other green infrastructure methods providing the big building a self-support eco system. Rain collection system, energy reuse system and food system are also included in this portfolio.
DATE RESPONSIBILITY
H o w t o D e v e l o p a Ve r t i c a l System with Multiple Purposes? This site will be altered into a multi-use building with eco system. In order to encourage the local labor market, the project will create 46 jobs of different skill and level for local people.

C a n Ve r t i c a l F a r m i n g , Local Business, and Cultural Activity Benifit to Each Other? This project tried to design a self-supply system to reuse energy and resource like heat, water and electricity through the whole building. The building section shows that recreational, agricultural, business, educational, and cultural purposes are inseted in this project.
Rooftop
The rooftop provides a space for green roof, blue roof, traditional farming, and green house for agricultural and rainwater collection purposes. In order to capture sunlight and alter it into electricity, solar panels are allocated on the rooftop. In addition, outdoor recreational area with seasonal art installation provides urban dwellers a spacious pubic space where they can enjoy art events or programming activities.
8F 8th floor is an office space for administration. 7F 7th floor is for research purpose to study agricultural knowledge
and technology improvement.
6F 5F 4F 3F
Theese floors are used as an urban farm to promote local farming. The self-supply farming system model will help decrease the carbon footprint during transportation, as well as construct a local food system to proivde urban dwellers a healthy and highquality food source.
2F The second floor is created as a place for restaurants with green
environment. Visitors can also bring the ingredients from farmers market to restaurant for a meal; they are able to enjoy art performance while eating.
1F The first floor is designed as an open facade with permeable
pavement to adapt the flooding or surge from future disaster. This floor provides a space for farmars market, which products are mainly from the building and some are from New York City.

How Mutual- Assistance Systems Make a Neighbor hood Interactive? The Good Neighborhood Program This program established a module system for food and energy trading; the building is able to collect rainwater and solar energy by borrowing neighbors' unused rooftops. In this trading system, we encourage non-monetary relationship among neighbors; therefore, energy and vegetable exchange system is developed. In addition, the coupon for restaurant and cafe makes neighbors using this building more often.

Life, Death, and Rebirth - Etern
Project Life after Life task
Repurposed the Evergreens Cemetery in Brooklyn and envisioned it as a future open space of New York City.
description
The project reimagined the cemetery as a collection of places and spaces to celebrate and reflect on life and culture. Several symbols are inculded in the design to represent the life spirit. The plan calls for the reforestation of the cemetery, emphasizing eco burials for the purposes of environmental conservation. The new burials will be marked by a tree requested by the family of the deceased, ultimately becoming an urban forest to meander through and reflect upon life in.

Several factors influenced the design approach such as location, wind, and sunlight. This design provides comfortable dwelling units while emphasizing the need for additional public open space.

Pawnee 2034 Comprehensive Plan Land Use & Sustainability Planning
Project Pa w n e e 2 0 34 C o m p r e h e n s i v e P l a n task
Developed a comprehensive plan for a hypothetical city, which population will double in following 20 years.
description
Our team created a comprehensive plan for the City of Pawnee, Indiana as a land use and sustainability exercise.
What is an Ideal Comprehensive Plan? The preferred scenario plan provides a more regulated and clearly outlined plan for development where greater focus is given to the concentration of population densities in the Central City and the conservation of open space and natural resources.
After analyzing existing conditions for the city, in addition to increasing population, the team also found other issues such as obesity and income segregation. Responding to these issues, our goals were customized for specific conditions; for example, greenway was our focus for the small area plan in order to create a walkable and bikable city. date responsibility

How to Def ine Development Pr ior ity? The development focus was given to the conservation of land, specifically land located within the floodplains, forested areas, and steep slopes. Pawnee recognizes the ever increasing threats of climate change and believes that limiting development in floodable areas will better protect residents while positioning the region to respond in a more sustainable and resilient manner. In addition, the preservation of agricultural land and open space are key to the livelihood of current and future Pawnee residents. Analysis Methodology Within the layers, the development potential of each parcel was determined based on a combination of ranking and weight, known as weighted rating. First, land features were given a suitability value was multiplied by the weight of all factors, providing a final score for each land unit. This allowed us to classify each land unit according to its suitability. Once a total score was given to each parcel based on the ranking system, the parcels were placed into the following categories of suitability: conservation, moderately unsuitable, moderately suitable, suitable, and highly suitable.

The street furniture design created a series of street furniture modules for public space. With these modules, parks or plazas have a variety of furniture combinations to satisfy public needs such as sitting, leaning, and children playing. In addition, the modules can be assembled into kiosk, storage, garden or other facilities that prevent users from bad weather, as well as create a lighting area.
