Theme/ Flood adaptation
Work division/ Personal work
Taipei city has a serious flooding issue resulted from natural and man-made causes such as climate, geography and urban development. Although there has been a set of flood defense such as dikes, drainages and pumping stations, these pure engineering solutions fell short due to climate change, resulting as more flood events happening in the city. On the other hand, through policy investigation, this project identified that was a lack of integration between planners and engineers, and designers were hardly involved in the decision making process. Thus the project concluded that it’s very crucial to have an integrated working process and an integrated spatial strategy, which would be demonstrated as the end product of this project. For doing so, this project mainly focused on pluvial flooding which resulted from a lack of permeable pavement in urbanized area.

Sao Paulo has many multi-level problems concerning water, infrastructure and social problems. These include: water pollution, low quality of infrastructure and the growth of informal settlements.
The project proposed a strategy for reducing informal settlement, reducing waste pollution and improving water quality. This involves: 1. on-site relocation for informal settlement (with higher living quality), 2. creating waste collecting system based on current road connection. 3. creating water landscape by rediscovering existing streams which are currently covered and polluted by informal settlement.

This project is a regional planning project based on GIS suitability analysis, which includes the following 5 steps: 1. identify layers in environment preservation area, agriculture area and urban built area. 2. conduct modeling in GIS respectively ( environment, agriculture, and urban) to conclude the high, medium and low sensitivity zone in each area. 3. integrate zoning maps of three areas and conclude the final zoning map. 4. interpret that zoning map into a strategic zoning map (but not the real urban land use zoning map). 5. propose regulations, principle etc for implementation. In this portfolio I focus on showing the analysis process, and how it lead to the concept of strategic plan.

Analysis, storyline, coordination
With the topic of eco protection and development, this project showcased the latest trend and great ambition on spatial planning in China. The site is located in the southern mountain area in Jinan, north of the China. The project is to set up a protection framework, to preserve the precious landscape resources, to prevent the urban sprawl, and most importantly, to protect the sources of spring water, which shapes the identify of Jinan city.
Here the highlight starts from an overall methodology framework ranging from analysis to strategy, then to the process of scientific analysis supported by ecologists via GIS, which resulting as the masterplan and design examples. It’s worthy to mention that due to the complexity of this project, the process was always non-linear and innovative, which involved a mix of scientific and design approaches, cross-scale study and intensive workshops.

The masterplan provides Qingdao with a high-density mixed-use environment for living, working and cruise tourism, creates a new gateway for the whole region: Qingdao Green Bay. The plan respects, transforms and integrates the heritage of the former port and opens the area towards the historic city. A strong public space framework is the driving force for the overall plan of the future Qingdao Cruise City.
The Green Bay concept is based on the realisation of the five km Green Bay Boulevard. This powerful spatial identity is the backbone of all developments and links the existing city in the south-east to the big bay in the north. It is generously planned with green and urban spaces, water and trees, parks and squares. Along the Boulevard five central nodes around a park accommodate transport hubs with dense and high-rise developments. From here a framework for a liveable city unfolds combines walkability and charm with density, efficiency and sustainability.

The ambition of this project is to bridge the opposite side of nature and urbanity by creating a north-south double natured axis from the mountains to the sea. Thus it has created an unprecedented new landscape for Shenzhen Center of the Future, a paradise allowing nature and urban, land and water, humans and animals to cohabitat together.
This new axis ‘mirrors and reflects’ the existing Futian cultural axis and complements it into a new urban paradigm for Shenzhen. The nature part of this axis will primarily become a series of habitats connected by stepping-stone corridor for local flora and fauna. It repairs a vanished eco link between the mountains on the north and mangroves and the bay on the south of the site. The urban part of this axis is envisioned as a 3D city for a 4D community and as such generates a new hub centered around innovation, knowledge and cultural exchange in Shenzhen.
