01 Natural Melody I Soundscape
Landscape design of wasteland into people's park in Qingyang Site: Qingyang, Chengdu, Sichuan, China Group Work, 07-08, 2018 Collaborator: Jiahuan He, Chimin Fu Role: Research; Data analysis; Concept Design; Masterplan Design; Node A Instructor: zhuoya, Jason 2018 Zap Associates Summer Super Studio Best Design Award Urban sound has a huge influence over how we perceive places. Yet, city planning is concerned mainly with noise, simply because annoying sounds come to the attention of city officials in the form of complaints. In this project, we found a new method to picture the city sound to analyze them. With analysis, we designed a unique sound park here to solve the noise problem faced by local residents. During the survey, we study the relationship between soundscapes and emotions. We found that streets with music sounds are associated with strong emotions of joy or sadness, while those with traffic sounds are associated with angry and restless. Additionally, we study the relationship between soundscapes and people's perceptions and in so doing, we map which areas are chaotic, monotonous, calm and exciting. According to our map, we conclude that most sounds from nature can bring people a good experience, while transportation noise will leave people a bad mood. Thus, the natural melody soundscape park formed.

To achieve the most efficient mode of decreasing noise or enhance natural meolody, we choose round shape which has the best effects. In the plan, people laughs on roads; trees appeal birds' sounds; water pond brings sounds of fish and frog; jungle attracts insects. People will keep away from airport noise and learn to cherish natural sound.

Warm Glacier I Common Ground Landscape design of proposed Grønvold Park in Hovinbyen Site: Hovinbyen, Oslo, Norway Individual Work, 03-05, 2019 Instructor: William Hu 2019 IFLA Student Design Competition Learning to live with change is a common experience that all life on earth share. Making sustainable choices for us and our communities calls for prevailing motivators, inspired researchers and practitioners, intelligent communicators and brave politicians. Sustainability is often critical where there is no democracy. The blue planet is our common ground. In this project I use three key points to optimize Grønvold Park: 1. Return the place to the public; 2. Meet the needs of all; 3. Adapt the site to changes of population and climate. Introducing energy-recycling, recreational spaces and individual identifying, we awaken the memory of Norwegians-- common memory of “Warmth and Nature” by combing "Matches" and "Glaciers" in our structure and space.In the future, a piece of common ground will be an essential public space which is in line with people's equal rights, spiritual needs and cultural awareness in dense cities. What the park does sets a benchmark for the coming reconstruction of public space in Oslo.

Hovinbyen was a major former industrial area in central Oslo that is currently undergoing a large re-development. This site of the proposed Grønvold Park contains a historic farmhouse and small green spaces, the remains from the site’s use as a match factory in the 19th Century. Today’s development includes planning for a new primary school and mixed used development neighboring the proposed park. In addition, the 6000m² site will have no motorized traffic. IFLA 2019 vision for the IFLA World Congress, "Common Ground", addresses a vast theme including changes to the Earth due to climate change and population growth.

The charts show that Oslo has a moderate climates. However, its winter is quite long, for alomost half of the year. At the same time, the sunshine period is only about 1 hour in winter. Therefore, it is important to make use of the limited sunshine in winter in our design.

In this site, I designed a starry sky cabin for people. The cabin is located in the eastern of sunken plaza, and about 1/5 of the cabin is underground to keep warm in winter. To enjoy the amazing night view in all angles, the cabin is made of glass. The huge and thick glass can be warm and provide a space for people to gather here. I also set "match" like lamp heater in the cabin to make sure it will be warm. It will definitely be the unique experience which cannot be duplicated.

Back to Gaodun I District Revival Landscape design of a famous history district in Suzhou Site: Pingjiang District, Suzhou, China Individual Work, 08-10, 2019 Instructor: William Hu In the history of human urban construction, Venice, Italy, is famous for its unique water streets, delicate buildings and rich waterscape. Until now, it still attracts tourists from all over the world with its extrordinary charm. In the Far East of Venice, there is also a world-famous water city —Suzhou. Suzhou, a charming city where I was born and where I grew up has the most affections on my feeling of whole society. Suzhou is famous for classical Chinese garden which were built by artists, poets, politicians or rich people. The Pingjiang District is near those famous gardens, however, as a residential and travel district, it faces many problems. How to achieve a balance between the tourists and residents? How to improve the living condition of local people? How to protect the traditional buildings? More questions need to be answered. When I search for history information of the site , I found "Gaodun" depicted in old books. Its emergence, generation, and functionality can all address these issues and the relationship between them. However, Gaodun disappeared many years ago and the reason I cannot find. Thus, I decided to revival Gaodun to bring vitality to the district.

Site Analysis Suzhou, which enjoys the reputation of "Up above there is heaven; down below there are Suzhou and Hangzhou", is located in the Yangtze River delta plain in the southeast of Jiangsu Province, with Shanghai in the East, Zhejiang in the south, Taihu Lake in the West and Yangtze River in the north. Suzhou was built during the Chunqiu dynasty, when Wu Zixu was appointed to build a city by the king of country Wu. From that time, this city has been more than 2500 years. This is extremely rare in China and even in the world. At present, it is the only famous historical and cultural city to be fully protected in China. Famous for: 500+ Ming & Qing Dynasty flourish 800+ Song Dynasty neighbor style 1000+ Tang Dynasty urban pattern 1500+ Buddhism & Taoism Culture 2500+ Capital city of Chunqiu 3000+ Chinese "Wu" Culture 5000+ Chinese Farming Culture

The normal pattern of city in China is fit into chessboard pattern, for example, the Forbidden City of Beijing. Different from the common chessboard pattern in Chinese city planning, Suzhou has the unique double chessboard pattern: One street accompanies with one river; houses are built along the water. All these features lead Suzhou to be a city with huge romance of watery setting.

River
As Oriental Venice, Suzhou used to have 82km rivers ( in city) with 328 bridges, ancient and classical. It is an attractive and wonderful city. However, many rivers, birdges and mounds disappeared during these years. Only 35.28km of rivers with 168 birdges. As a result, there are lots of problems such as floods and traffic jams and historical culture.
New road
Distribution diagram of mounds
Street: Board roads (6m usually) with shops/houses on one side or both sides. "Xiang": Roads (3-4m usually) that used to connect two main streets. "Nong": Special roads (1-2m usually) between two old buildings. (Only used in Jiangsu & Zhejiang provinces) The perfect "Gaodun" map was destroyed during the 1900s, luckily, Suzhou zhi records the location of parts of all Gaodun including those in site and I drew this map.

According to the diagram from Qing dynasty, there were 31 Gaodun (mound) in the old city and they existed until The republic of China. These mounds were made of construction waste and sludge from rivers or pounds. Most mounds were barren land or used as graveyard. In the past, people bulit pavilions, planted trees, chatted with each other and played on mounds.

After Cars are limited; more recreational seats are provided; people can be close to water by steps. Reduce some shops.
Recreate traditional interactive activities and reduce similar tourist shops.
B Gaodun park
Before Constraction and river ruins were left. Because of the narrow street, trucks cannot carry out trash.
After Ruins will be landfilled here free of contamination; more trees; people can exercise at the "hills".
Reuse the construction and river ruins. Make ruins to be Gaodun space. Recall people's memory of their history life by building a Gaodun park.
C Tianjin renovation
Before Most gardens were unused and weeds run riot. Houses and gardens are seperated from each other.
After Remanage the courtyard; introduce some local flowers and trees; open part of the 2nd floor space.
Re-grooming the internal space and relationship of building communities. Rebuild the garden and landscape inside protected buildings.

Through the unique River-Street structure, rich spatial level, appropriate spatial proportion and diversified citizen life, the traditional streets and alleys in Suzhou fully express the continuity and directionality of the streets and alleys, and create a good physical appearance and humanistic style. These spatial factors are the important expression of the traditional street and Water Lane spatial image, which contains the content of physical beauty, and also contains the relaxed and idle life mood it embodies.

To reuse this land, I designed 6 different Gaodun and 2 platforms for people to enjoy in daily life. Children can play on lawn Gaodun where they will not hurt themselves. Older people can dancing and exercise on plaza. Young people can do sports on sports Gaodun. People can get close to the nature, listening the sound of water and animals. Visiters can have a birds' eye view on the bridges which connects all the seperated areas, At here, all the people will have a nice experience.

The appearance of the building is rhythmic and variable. The height and scale are basically unified, forming a continuous building facade, which makes the building in a balance. At the same time, the layout of a group of buildings has ups and downs, changes in the same, but changes follow certain rules, which is not monotonous Lanes and groups of houses make up of neighbourhoods, and different lanes and houses form different neighborhood characteristics.
Step 1 Reorganize the circulation
Building on terrace
Nowadays, since 2-4 family live in one building, more entrances are needed. To reduce the interacted routes, I break some walls to make new entrances for each building. Also, the aisle can be used as common space. Without interference, some argument can be solved.

Step 2 Open the inner space The inner space of the old building is lack of sunshine and damp all year round. To introduce sunshine into the house, I choose 4 types of interior space to be semiopen space. 1. Inner space next to the wall 2. Unused doorway space 3. Blocked attic space 4. Part of the 2nd floor space

Chinese corridor gate The special frame is inspired by residents. They build bamboo pole as tetragon to store varia. This frame can be used to hang clothes, grow climbing plants and so on.
New washing set can solve the problem of limited inner area. People can wash clothes and food. Some simple meals can be make here.
Tables and chairs are needed for people to have dinner and play chess with friends.
The new gates leads to new living routs. People donnot need to break house wall to have own gate.
Connect neighbours
Corridor is common in Chinese garden for sitting, chatting and climbing plants.The glass style can get more sunshine.
The traditional glass pavilion will create a feeling of Soochow landscape for people, and it is the epitome of Chinese painting.
Most local residents prefer to planting own crops and vegetables. They also like growing flowers. Thus I design enough flower beds to meet needs of each family.

Flowers can be planted all seasons and party can be hold in here.

I'd like to use this design project to commemorate my and my grandmother's childhood. I spent six years of happy primary school time in this district, whose the picture of life and Xiang Nong warmed me. Thanks to my grandmother, she accompanied me to visit local family. She used to have a happy life here and the house was reclaimed and transformed into a beautiful homestay. Finally, thanks to a grandmother who lives next to The First High School. She gave me a cup of hot tea during my rainy day research, and we had a wonderful talk at her house. All these memories are the most precious treasures of my project. I am so lucky.

04 Between Stage I Installation Design Happiness With Village
Site: Danling Village, Meishan, Sichuan, China Group Work, 11, 2019 Collaborator: Youchen Hua Role: Research; Concept Design; Analysis; Rendering Instructor: William Hu "Plain and original village" is the biggest characteristic of happy ancient village. The folk dwellings in western Sichuan with green tiles and earthen walls are built against the mountain, facing the river, well-arranged and integrated with the natural environment. It is a rare ancient village with relatively complete preservation. We have explored the forgotten "Dengxi" culture here through "Between stages" to arouse people's memory, recall the beauty of stage culture, and promote the communication between people. The whole device takes square as the element, which comes from traditional stage. The cascade structure comes from the local terrace culture. Among them, the color of the acrylic board top comes from the main color of the traditional costume, and the juxtaposed acrylic films represent the magnificent play. The revolving translucent doors on both sides symbolize the stage curtain, which drives the whole space. People can adjust themselves and create a semi closed private space.

Site Analysis Located in Danling Village, Sichuan, the whole village takes the green mountain forest as keynote, the red sandstone culture as the foundation, the folk houses, courtyards, ancient roads, trees, bridges, and rare stone landscapes as the representatives. We expect to refine nature beauty in a slight way, with the least amount of change and the most primitive beauty.

Design Concept The theme of garden is Bloom and Convergence which means the process that leaves absorb nutrients for its flowers. We highlight the veins by tiles, and use white sand to imply cold and hardship. We want to show the beauty of overcoming difficulties.
