PERSONAL STATEMENT
Bachelor of Landscape Architecture Landscape architecture @ Xi’an University of Architecture and Technology Ranking: 9/60 Sep.2015-Jun.2020 Core courses: Combined with the landscape design of th building
I think landscape design is a combination of sensibility and rationality. Landscape design can combine the two methods I have learned.
EXPERIENCE
Rational thinking benefits from my obsession with science in high school. These subjects enable me to understand the development laws of things, to dig into the process of the development and to analyze the causes of phenomena systematically.

RESEARCH The Landscape Evaluation System Embedded in Web Applications Based on Machine Learning Jul.2017-Jun.2018 Team Leader Advisor: Ruiqing Bao Description: We studied the core python basics statements related libraries including NumPy, Pandas, Matplotlib, SciPy, and machine learning scikit-learn. We also studied TensorFlow and carried out special experiments in combination with planning and design majors, laying a solid language foundation for designers' design analysis and research.
Perceptual thinking benefits from the experience of art training in my childhood. The subjective aesthetic appreciation of nature and the perception of space came from my painting skills when I was young which urged me to have a strong ability of imagination and expressing abstract things.
Reason and sensibility are like the left and right hands. Each side is indispensable. I think landscape design is an art space to serve people. Landscape design also needs rational logic as the support of the design, to solve the problems existing in the space. I have my own understanding about the landscape, I think landscape design field and even city provides a contact medium and bridge of things, and landscape design requires the use of logic design process for the media of the landscape to reasonably solve the contradictions of venue. I hope that the landscape could connect various elements of the city as a bridge, in addition to create beautiful feeling. On the one hand, landscape design can serve as a link between nature and culture. In order to cope with the harm caused by sea level rise in Boston, we hope that our design can reduce the harm and connect social activities and natural ecology of south Boston with a continuous dynamic coast. What’s more, the landscape also serves as a connection to the community. In Xi’an, I wanted to use the neglected space under the viaduct in the city to provide a place for the community elder to communicate with each other and connect the marginal space in the city with the marginal population Even, I think the landscape can be a spiritual connection. In the project of Jingdezhen, the site becomes the connection point between history and modernity. The landscape design acts as the carrier of material from the emotional changes of people. corresponding to the design of the site. Landscape as a factor of city material carrier as the link. As a landscape architect, I should find the location "fracture", to show the significance of the space to the public. By using rational logic design strategies and methods, we can truly to ground the landscape into a make up for the missing key. I applied project in logic has a strong correlation analysis applied to the design aspect, I think your school learning experience can enrich me in their own field of vision and let me look at problems from bigger vision to let me to systematically study the landscape design. I sincerely hope that I can join the project, continuing to increase my experience.

02 NATURE × NATURE CULTURE × CULTURE REMODEL OF INDUSTRIAL HERITAGE BACKGROUND-CULTURE ANALYSIS
BACKGROUND-ECOLOGY ANALYSIS
Due to historical reasons, the natural ecology of the river bank in Oregon city was destroyed and the ecosystem was broken.
The wine and beer industry has an important position in Oregon city. Oregon city has a derivative industry of beer culture. Oregon city has the potential to develop both a wine culture and a beer culture, and the people of Oregon city lack the space for large music gatherings.
SITE INFO
LOGIC FRAMEWORK
The development of Oregon city has made people experience the destruction of nature and the suffering of the cause. The site needs to restore the previous ecological environment as a new growth point of the broken riverside green space.

underground. However, just a road beside, the historical sites located on our design site have all been relocated. Memories and history behind are being forgotten by people.
We redefine our design site as the entrance plaza of the museum. We create a narrative space for visitors by using the form of kilns as landform. When walking along the intended route, visitors can perceive the making process of porcelain, the discovery of porcelain after the deposit of time and the memorial of history and culture in a chronological order. The connection between visitors’ perspective, body, emotion and landscape becomes closer and deeper. The plaza leads visitors to travel through time and feel the cryptic relationship between the city and porcelain.
KILN MEMORIAL PLAZA When passing through the memorial plaza, we intend to constitute a narrative space connecting different sequential scenes. The scenes are presented in the chronological order of how china are made, being fired, buried in the ground and passed through history, discovered by us today and memorized. History and time can be perceived through the emotional space. A subtle rammed earth slope with china brisks buried on the other side is constructed as the first scene of the story.
By using the form elements extracted from the traditional kiln, a hierarchical space is constituted.
01 The other side of the slope is covered with historical china brisks, creating a moving atmosphere to show history.
Some china brisks are embeded on the slope. The site may used to be a kiln.
The firing of making process of china are realized in such kilns!
The kilns also create various space for activities on the site.
When I walked through the kilnlike space, I can feel the tradition as well as the new interpretation of the morphology of kilns.
Surrounded by hills covered with china brisks, visitors will directly sense the site history.
The narrow pathway is a metaphor of the long history the kilns and china have experienced. With sunshine glittering through the parochial gap above head, visitors may have the feeling of traveling through time and space when looking at the gleam of sky.
The last scene of the story is the overall view of the plaza. By looking back to the route passed by, the history of kilns and china are vividly shown in all dimensions.

05 EXPLORE Ă— OTHER WORKS DATA PROCESSING OF PYTHON APPLY IN THE LANDSCAPE RESEARCH 1.Baidu poi data collection
3.Urban space color Based on the POI (Point of Interests) data provided by "Baidu map open Urban theme color extraction based on machine learning platform", this experiment can evaluate the format of a certain region and guide the subsequent urban design through the data invocation of industries information in the city. Firstly, the geographic location information data of a certain industries were collected. We collected the data of food industry.Then collected its score on the network platform and its average price, and analyzed the correlation between the two.
1.To extract the theme of the picture color is firstly decomposed into the picture one by one pixel, each pixel with RGB three values project to the 3D space, then directly observed image color distribution, the direct observation with the naked eye color feeling, then extracted from the image the HSV Value (HSV (Hue, Saturation, Hue, Saturation), lightness (Value)), the feeling is closer to human feeling, to print into HSV histogram, image color comparison of three regions, then HSV values of each area all graphics comprehensive statistical comparison,To the city color has a direct impression. 2.Use the Kmeans clustering algorithm of unsupervised learning in machine learning to cluster the image colors of each region, form 7 theme colors for each graph, and then print the theme colors of all images in each group in their respective two-dimensional space to obtain an intuitive feeling of theme colors.
The store's public ratings and prices were collected, stored in CSV data format, which was plotted using Python's matplotlib library. It can be seen that most delicious food is in the range of 4-5, and there is no obvious correlation between it and price. This may be because people do not judge the good or bad of delicious food based on the price score distribution
chart of number of people
Each point in the figure represents an industry classification, and the line represents the distance correlation. The more lines on two points, the heavier the color is, which proves that the two points are closer and the relationship is closer in plane geographic space.Through such analysis, we can learn the rules between the distribution of industries, so as to have a more reasonable layout for the division of land use in the future planning. Survey photos inside of the city walls
Survey photos outside of the city walls
The image colors were clustered and summarized, and the theme colors were extracted for comparison
This is just a preliminary exploration. In the future, the survey photos can be analyzed, and even the street view photos of the whole city can be analyzed to obtain different theme colors of different areas, which can also better guide the theme colors of urban planning, architecture and landscape design.
4.Based on GPS survey and data reading Mobile phones become the most convenient ways of preserving the research process, at the same time mobile phones with built-in GPS, and photo photo was retained when the information such as latitude and longitude, time, elevation, we can record our research route, after came back from the site we can through these data to undo the process research, also can use this information, to do further analysis.

relationship between score and the number of people
This analysis method can be applied to the subsequent investigation and evaluate the existence of a certain relationship through data collection. For example, by collecting the landing location information of microblog and displaying it on the map, such as the characteristics of people flow and vitality area in a certain area can be inferred, so as to provide a basis for future planning.
5.Visual assessment and prediction of landscape quality
2.Urban poi spatial distribution structure Each point in the figure represents an industry classification, and the line represents the distance correlation. The more lines on two points, the heavier the color is, which proves that the two points' relationship is closer in plane geographic space. Through such analysis, we can learn the rules between the distribution of industries, so as to have a more reasonable layout for the division of land use in the future planning.

Landscape visual quality assessment prediction system is a machine learning model that hopes to train people's visual evaluation of landscape (image), and then predict images without a given score by computer. With this model, the landscape quality and spatial quality of built-up areas can be evaluated. There are mainly four steps: 1. Get the class mark of the image through the image grading; 2.Second, extract feature vectors with Star feature detector and SIFT scale invariant feature transform.3. With the eigenvector as the explanatory variable and the class mark as the target vector, the ERF extreme random forest training image classifier is adopted.4. Use trained models to predict unknown images. STAR feature detection

SIFT feature detection
"Star feature detection" and "SIFT feature detection" test to detect the image feature points, then feature points clustering, to look for the same features between different image characteristics of points, form a fixed number of words bag model, each image of the word "key words" in the bag has a different frequency, at the same time, according to the scores of people, to learn how to score with keywords, the relationship between the frequency distribution of image evaluation model is set up, and to make predictions
SPRING RIVER FLOWER MOON Traditional Garden Design From Music to Space Date : Oct.2018 Type : Individual
There is an ancient Chinese song called "spring river flower moonlight night", which has nine chapters. When the ancient people wrote the song, they must have a picture in mind.I hope to explore ways to analyze the music and transform the rhythm and rhythm of the repertoire into classical garden space.
GRASSHOPPER USED IN MECHANICAL STRUCTURE Introduction: Grasshopper is used to refine the transmission process of the mechanical structure to form a complete physical process, which can assist the subsequent entity production process and weigh the formation process of a dynamic form. The experiment is based on the superposition of x and y directions, and finally a mesh surface is used to form a constantly fluctuating network, which looks like a rhythmic sea wave.
