[Date] [Year]

I am interested in creating immersive, futuristic hideaways for living beings to escape from the city. I study the layers of history and texture of the landscape, to add artistic interpretation accordingly in the site to accentuate the genius loci of the landscape. I am inspired by the graphic style from Field Operations’ Downsview Park, and film-making design approach by Bernard Tschumi. I wish to proceed my career in working for artistic-styled landscape design companies, or landscape linked multimedia based companies, especially filmmaking and animations. Design Statement 3


March 2017

Urban Regenration Tag: Urban Design, Strategic Scale, Site Scale, Detail Design, Legislation, Housing Scheme Location: Royal Docks, East London, E16, United Kingdom A 3 week intensive coursework divided into three parts: Group masterplanning, Indivdual Development and Detail Design. Group masterplanning involves composing a clear and coherent landscape framework for the Royal Docks; Individual development requires iterative experimentation on detail scale; Detail design involves technical and construction details, accomodated with specification and tendering documents.

4 Urban Regenration


Revitalise, Relinking Taken Step by Step

A coherent landscape fabric is proposed to the Royal Docks of London to rebuild the identity and social relationship in the site due to the lack of connectivity and dominant industrial landscape

Urban Regeneration 5


Iterative Exploration

The detail scale design of the site is explored through a series of iterative drawing of different scales. I explored scales ranging from 1/2500 to 1/500

6 Urban Regeneration


[Date] [Year]

Furniture Design An example furniture was designed to fit the new regenrated landscape in the linear park proposed in the scale. Surface Treatments and Ground Engineering were also considered.

Urban Design and Housing

2016

Tag: Urban Design, Strategic Scale, Housing Schemes, Rural Design Location: Leith Waterfront, Edinburgh, EH6 Aviemore, Scotland, PH22 An Camas Mor, Scotland, PH22 A series of project to propose housing in various locations in Scotland, based on the level of urban development. Leith Waterfront displays fragmentation within the community and insufficient urban planning; Aviemore faces increasing population, with low housing available; and An Camas Mor is undeveloped.

8 Urban Design and Housing


Urban Context - Leith Waterfront, Edinburgh A hybrid development was proposed to accomodate more housing and stimulating local economy. The nearby waterbodies were utilised to create a neighbourhood park to alleviate social tensions.

Urban Design and Housing 9


Sub- Urban Context - Aviemore, Scotland Proposed more housing as the main focus to alleviate housing pressure and add new functions to the town to increase income besides from ski resorts.

Landscape Reclamation

2016

Tag: Reclamation, Rural Design, Recreational Landscape, Schematic, Ecological Remediation Location: Dunbar, Scotland, EH42 A project aimed to offer ecological remediation to a post-industrial landscape, create multiple functions to the site, and reconnect the site to the surrounding community. The site used to be a landmark mining area, which is left unattended A sculpture park and nature reserve is proposed to the site to offer a hideaway for nearby residents and wading birds.

12 Landscape Reclamation


Layers of Landscape The landscape is made from layers of impor tant components, both physically and historically that builds the current identity to the nearby neighborhood. The ecological research is also as part of the living layers as fauna is one important compoenent to drive landscape processes.

Landscape Reclamation 13


Putting into Phases A sculpture park was proposed into the site with part of the park restricted from public, for ecological remediation reasons. This includes habitat construction for wading birds and artificial islands to increase surviing rates 14 Landscape Reclamation


[Date] [Year]

Timeframe and Visualisation All points of interest in the sculpture park are based on poems by William Blake, of exploring the relationship between the nature and human. Technical details are also required from the construction of the site.
