COLLEGE AVE & CITY HALL PLAZA
Public spaces and livable downtown area are needed for City Hall plaza and college avenue. The idea is providing a living street that leads people from north campus to City Hall plaza and enhancing the walkability of the entire downtown area. The concept of free flow comes from the “street ballet� happening at the Arch crossroad, which communicates the energy and vibration of people. To accommodate the need of passing by pedestrian, sitting down people and shoppers, the width of sidewalks on College Ave are extended with buffers. The green buffers between lanes and sidewalks are provided to insulate noises and for better visual experience. The Visual Form Of Downtown Athens
Opening the front of City Hall and turning this block into Woonerf creates the unrestricted pedestrian movement and open public spaces for different users. Big stairs and terraces in front stands out the mass of front building and facilitates sittings. Water features around City Hall are for eye catching nodes. More open areas at the back of City Hall like lawn and hard-paving allow opportunities for gathering in both small and large groups. The block of College Ave between Clayton and Washington St moves the focus off the tall building on 2 sides, which invites users to a less shaded but more sunny site with nice view to City Hall and sittings. The City Hall plaza extends the free flow from College Avenue, which catches eyes of passing by people. The vision is guided by curved paving and aligned trees to City Hall building. The front steps provide open seating area which welcome citizens. There are variable possibilities of the front steps like lunch space, stage for events, shade space, sitting area. Water feature that is opposite to City Hall defines the edge of the bank, and also enhances the interaction between people and site.

Pedestrian-Oriented Street Intersection/ Nodes Civic/ Symbolic spine Green street
The concept is generated by the ‘Magic Square’ and the potential connection between downtown and multiple feasible opportunities. The site itself becomes an interchange space which would allow interactions between energy, people and substance. Pedestrian-friendly orientated design provides both customers and merchants maximum fluidity and utilizes public spaces. The main Entrance is at the north, attached by main street, to linkage plaza and then central plaza. The skywalk system not only appreciates the terrain of the site, but also cares about inclusive design.

In Louisville, Kentucky, a diverse group of citizens led by Yung Nguyen, an immigrant from Vietnam, has conceived this idea of a monument of thanksgiving; a place of special recognition for the tremendous sacrifices the American and South Vietnamese As walking down the hill by the wall, the slit is growing further to our eyes. It eventually disappears on the wall, but leaves a scar. The wall is extending from the top of the hill and following the slope. It represents the Vietnam War and the life of everyone that has been through the war. The War and all the sufferings are painful, sad and depressing. Deep gratitude is to the people saved them from the pain, to that the war is over and to the good future. What is after the deep gratitude? Seeing through the slit in the wall, the forest, river and lives give us what after deep gratitude is. It’s unchanging hope for the future, the power of life and nature.
TRI Ă‚N MONUMENT FOR VIETNAM WAR
Walking towards the extended wall, it seems there’s nothing else except the smooth concrete wall in the TRI ÂN memorial. There’s a not a single word on the front wall. The wall is bold and blocks most of the view which actually touches off the depressing feeling. But when getting closer, there’s actually a long slit in the wall, and it changes as people move forward. Standing in front of the wall, the blocked view transforms into a bright light coming from the slit. When getting even much closer to the slit, the bright light changes into a fascinating and verdant forest. Moving to the back of the wall, the carved words at the bottom of the wall tell the story about TRI ÂN memorial.
ROCK & SHOALS NATURAL AREA
Rock and Shoals Outcrop natural area and Cedar Creek Water Reclamation Facility are located in south Athens with precious resources of ecosystems. The design of this community is initiated to conserve the unique and sensitive environment including native plants, outcrop and water. Seeking for educational, recreational and cultural opportunities, the site keeps balances between ecology, economy and social equity.

Industries campus
Parcel edge buffers
The mosaic principles are implemented into the industrial campus, which harnesses the incoming industries, bringing them together with commercial, and public infrastructure. It also created buffers and green spaces between industrial uses and residential or agricultural uses. This pattern can help limit the massive industrial sprawl along the highway. Redistributing the functions better serves workers and residents alike.
Industrial Campus
Lyndon House Sculpture Garden is designed to inspire people to think about the relationship between us and environment.
In order to create dynamic and
urban look for the sculpture garden, irregular form is chosen for the plan layout. After shifting the deep slope in the north, the hight decreases gradually. And because of that, the different hight provides several niches and spaces, which is good for several kind of activities. The main sculpture Bokjari located at the visual center of the garden attracts visitors attention with the magic reflection

GREEN SPREAD TRANSFORMATION Factory building transformed to green office building
The concept is about green growth and creative architectural transformation of Xuhui Riverside. When the city develops to a certain level with a more extended field and gradually changing its roles, the old industry base of the original city certainly need to be changed. The old riverside industry base of Xujiahui District now is facing with problem. Xuhui old industry base is located on a riverside site of Huangpu River, next to Shanghai World EXPO. On account of that the block was an old industry base, there are a lot of plants. The Xiaomuqiao district where the design base lies lost popularity and vitality. Besides, the still existing plants are abandoned and are necessary to be retrofitted .
Most of the existing industrial buildings are renovated into art centers, parks, Cultural and creative area their synthesis, but the transformation to office buildings is not the focus of the study. How to make both plant transformation have industry characteristics and architectural, interior and landscape more open and more flexible office is the goal. Therefore pollution problems of the plants need to be solved, and what’s more the change is also required to make the plant more environmentally friendly. In the face of the problems of design base, by understanding the process of plant succession,
Through ‘the green’ growth into the building and changing the interface of the construction space, the construction of indoor and outdoor environment revitalizes from being discarded. ‘The Green’ with the green slope form extends from the outside to inside of the building, and at last pierces through. The green slope grows to the third floor, which blurs the boundaries of indoor and outdoor space.
