SAND FRINGE Viewing Platform Design Along Highway 1 Erosion Prevention Installation & Sight Viewing Ramps Detours in Details Landscape Design Studio, UC Berkeley Project date: 2016.3 - 2016.4 Tutor: Richard Hindle Type: Personal academic design Key words: Viewing Platform, Installation, Highway Landscape The site located at the “Hurricane Point” along Highway 1, where the spectacular landscape with diversity attracts numerous visitors to stop by, as well as suffers from the strong valley wind and serious erosion. The design adopts and renarrate the basic form of sand fence, a widely-use landscape installation with ecological enhancement on sand dune, encloses the tangled ribbon-like ramps for visitors with arrays of aluminium pipes in gradual distortion as support structure as well as “exoskeleton” to create shady and calm space inside.

WHY SAND FENCE? A sand fence or sandbreak, similar to a snow fence, is a type of fence used to force windblown, drifting sand to accumulate in a desired place. Sand fences are employed to control erosion, help sand dune stabilization, keep sand off roadways, and to recruit new material in desert areas. A typical construction is to attach a perforated plastic sheet to stakes at regular intervals, similar to construction site fencing or temporary sports field fencing. Another is a cedar or other lightweight wood strip and wire fence, also attached to metal stakes.
A permanent sand fence is generally of larger wooden poles set deeply into the ground with large wooden planks running horizontally across them.While other fence materials such as plastic, polyethylene, and metal are sometimes used to trap sand, they are not recommended for coastal use because of the impacts they can cause.
light materials such as sand to settle.This creates a pile both in front of and behind the sand fence causing more sand to drop out. Conveniently the sand does not drop on the barrier itself, otherwise it would soon be buried and rendered useless. Sand fences can be installed during any season and they are fully effective as sand traps as soon as they are installed (Woodhouse, 1978). Research on the use of snow fences has demonstrated that a porosity ratio of 0.8:1 (44%) is the most effective (Carter, 1988). Typically commercial snow fencing has a 50% porosity.
The drifting and settling of sand behind and in front of a such a fence occurs because the wind speed on both the downwind and windward sides is less than that on the far windward side, allowing

In this design, the installation consists of two parts, part one is the discrete sections of sand fences along the beach as well as the erosion surface on the ground of mountain, part two is the ramps with similar “exoskeleton� as sand fence. The sand fence has three basic components, bended aluminium pipesc, and concrete base as well as strings to bind and stablize the pipes in order to create the wavy and semi-permeable surface, corresponding to the natural form and status of mountainous topography and fluctuated ocean in site as well as circumanstances, as well as the indicator of derivative of curvature on contours.

Ramp: two ramps twined with each other as dragons’ battle on the cliff expresses and corresponds to the respect of majestic landscape along Highway 1, as well as bridges all the five pullout sites in this section. For ADA requirement, these is always a continuous ramp friendly to wheel chair users. Exoskeleton: the numerous pipes creates specific surface of this platform as to prevent the invasion of wind, moisture and dazzling sunlight, supporting the weight of the whole construction simultaneously. On the surface where the pipes touch the ground, the vegetation would be easier to establish. Program: the space between the ramps would be the flexible programs as restrooms or cafe for visitors. The benches on the ramp would be constructed in the form similar to sand dunes.

About Minor Park What do we have in common? What is equal to everyone? What is collective memory for LA? Not time, not lives, but tangible and untouchable moments. So in this special central space adjacent to successful grand park, what I intend to do is a monument for living people which recalls your memories about LA, and something beyond yourselves. Everyone has his/her own important memories about himself/herself and this city, nor exact object or picture depicting special scenarios is meaningful to everyone. So how to construct something would hardly change in 100 years but always recall every visitor’s personal and collective memory about LA, and satisfies daily routine requirement including food truck parking simultaneously? So I create this park with three layers as well three levels to meet activities needs varying from still to dynamic or elementary to intrinsic. The three layers are:
A
┏
Cretan Labyrinth
First Layer: Boundary This layer consists of background vertical “wall”, linear pool with glass block substrate, and evergreen street tree, melting with open street space. Bagua Zhen(Eight-Diagram tactics)
Second Layer: Maze Various intimate space with paradoxical sensation. Third Layer: Eden Open and flowing green space with an adorable fountain in the center surrounded with 12 chairs. The three layers corresponds to physical space morphology, while three levels corrsponds to three different levels of human’s requirement. First Level: Daily routine. This park provides diversified intimate and open space to meet requirements of different dimensions including food truck event by various surrounded space and numerous greeness.
Labyrinth in Lucca Cathedral, 1063
Second Level: Collective Memory By tracing the footprint of former building relics through vertical element, this park reminds people of historic site. And in the maze-layer, common furnitures within abnormal “room” would recall and inspire people to think of paradoxical memories or notions in their previous life, especiallly the memories about this city.

Third Level: Exploration This park is a metaphor philosophical conception of time travel. By wandering through the maze, people are experiencing different moments of life in an approximate time point, namely timeline folds into one point, and the “Eden” is the infinite loop crossing through the time line rings which is out of time control. By transiting to loop, people would come into infinite area where is a good space for meditation, then escape this space along with short cut line to “birth ” and “death” - two fountain pools in the corner. To emphasize the distinctive sensation from another world seemingly that this park could bring to people, I use various materials to manipulate shadow and reflection in a complicated way to create a space with bizarre and motley delight and feelings.

RAINBOW LAWN 2 Bryant Frontyard Lawn Redesign Drought-resistant Grasses Testing in Local Landscape Practical Work of Internship in Perkins + Will, San Francisco Project date: 2016.3 - 2016.8 Tutor: Jennifer Cooper-Sabo Type: Internship work Key words: Drought-resistant Lawn, Landscape Experiment Due to the low amount of rainfall in California recently, there is a need to prioritize drought tolerant plant materials among local designs, thus we would like to experiment with the lawn alternative options in half of the lawn outside of 2 Bryant St by testing six different grasses and groundcovers. So wereplanted the space in stripes of six drought-resistant grasses in a line, according to the each speciesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; requirement on environment, instead. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a competition, of sorts, a great Grass Bowl: Which of the six will best survive a long, hot California year? Installation has completed in August and would remain for six months to trace and record the result. The hope is that this will draw attention and promote discussion on lawn alternatives.

Recent years, however, due to the unlimited and presumptuous development of urbanization at the cost of encroaching and devastating the marsh land, the capacity of resilience and resistance of cities along with surroudings is impaired tremendously, consequently, for instance, the destruction on New Orleans caused by Hurrican Katrina is a negtive payback of marsh deterioration. So to advertise the importance of marsh, these info-graphics indicate the interesting facts about marsh, and renderings predict the possible awful scenarios in New Orleans when the marshes vanished in the future.
