OAKLAND BREATH Air Pollution + Public Health

Location: Oakland, CA, United States Type: Individual Work Time: 01/2019-5/2019 Instructor: Mendel, Emma In my project, I focus on the inequity of public health. People who have different income live in different environment and have different healthy conditions. In Oakland, asthma is the most common illness because the large port and traffic which nearby residential areas. Also, the distribution of health care facilities is inequity. The places where hispanic, black and asian people live have fewer health facilities. Therefore, I use urban agriculture to cultivate holistic food which can help people relieve asthma through controlling air pollution sources and making psychological treatment such as eating or smelling. People can alleviate illness through natural way rather than going to hospitals. What's more, people who have lower income and live far away from hospitals can also have opportunities to protect health.

Due to the port and traffic, respiratory illness in Oakland is serious. These researches are mainly about how toxic matters spread and what kind of vegetations could be holistic food for people to alleviate asthema. Climate change in oakland provide the information about how to grow those plants and wind direction decide how the fragrant matter spread in the city.

There are several gardens distribute along this corridor. They are "farming" garden, "scented" garden and "antipollution" garden which form a holistic system for people to alleviate asthema. In original site, there are many vacant zones and abandon parking lot which should be utilized to create more green spaces. The new route I design is mainly for people to walk by scented garden and to get far away from highway as much as possible. Along the new route, people can pick up edible vegetations and inhale benefit scent. The long section below shows two different conditions on both sides of the highway. The contrast of residential areas(left) and bussiness zone(right) makes different design of "farming" place. The flat roof in bussiness zone become green roof and the vacant parking lot become farming place. Therefore, bussiness zone is more like a transition zone between the "scented" one and the "farming" one.

HYBRID WETLAND

Agriculture System+Wetland Habitat Location: Central Valley, CA, United States Type: Group work, collaborate with Rebecca Hinch and Chunchun Wu Time: 01/2019-05/2019 Instructor: Cantrell, Bradley & Hansen Phillips, Andrea Lynn Miyoko & Seibert, Matthew Commendation Awards in Analysis and Planning VA ASLA 2020 Professional and Student Award Program Hybrid Wetlands reimagines water-intensive agricultural systems in the Central Valley by diversifying their functions and socio-ecological services. California’s Central Valley, known as the nation’s “breadbasket,” has long served as a testing ground for large-scale, high-yielding agricultural practices. However, this illusion of bounty comes at an enormous cost, as formerly diverse habitats, abundant water flows and fertile soils have become depleted after centuries of extraction and production. In addition, farmers and local governments must now grapple with the inevitable challenges that climate change poses to systems already on the brink of collapse. Specifically, Hybrid Wetlands proposes the installation of wetland habitats along the margins of irrigation infrastructure so as to maximize these land and water resources. The proposed wetland habitats create spaces for migratory and residential bird species, as well as provide landowners with vital socio-ecological services, such as phytoremediation and soil fertilization. Overall, Hybrid Wetlands creates a system of collaboration between human and nonhuman entities within the valley’s underutilized landscapes, supporting the region’s resilience despite its uncertain future.

STREET GARDEN WATER AFFINITY FACILITIES URBAN TOPES

In this project, the site I am working with is Friendship Court, where high income people and low income people live across Second Street from each other. I am redesigning second street between Garett and Monticello to be an “woonerf,” and I am focusing on area near the current entrance to Friendship Court to create a space for talking, eating, playing. The proposed woonerf is organized through three layers of vegetation, water collection, and social space. The three layers overlap with each other to generate different functional spaces such as gardens, playgrounds, and small plazas. The new pavement allows for different spaces and uses.

EXISTING MATERIAL CARE

EXISTING PROPOSED

Our urban form strategy directs and gathers runoff water to call attention to locations of historical significance to racialized topography along 2nd St. Runoff is directed through the treatment of the ground materials, which we have exchanged, mixed up, and bricolaged between uphill and downhill. This process creates a new material aesthetic that represents multiple historical narratives and perspectives, as an alternative to the monolithic material language that typically indicates historical significance in Charlottesville. We have conceived of the uphill/downhill dynamic through the metaphors of the front and back yards, which has allowed us to understand positive and negative associations with each. Primarily through materials and form, our urban form strategy hybridizes elements of the front yard, like pride and dignity with elements of the backyard, such as relaxation and play.

LIGHT SPECTRUM Intervened Succession

Location: Charlottesville, VA, United States Type: Individual work Time: 09/2018-12/2018 Instructor: Cho, Leena Sangyun My project focus on the forest succession occurrence by clearing some trees out, by introducing more dense amount of trees in other parts to meet the clearance and accelerate or modulating the rate of succession. As the part of ecological management of the forest, I focus on the successions in gaps, introducing human scale experience and different types of light. In the process, I make a landform which can modulate the succession in forest. I utilize the landform and plant strategy to make contrast light intensity and different light pattern like linear light spot, zigzag light spot, filtered light, murky light, etc. I want to create a place which can not only enhance the diversity in forest, but also can provide people different experience of light.

Here is a word called "SUCCESSION" which means"undirectional change in the composition of an ecosystem as the available competing organisms and especially the plants respond to and modify the environment"(from Merriam Webster dictionary). Design chooses four types of plants: Morus alba, Magnolia virginiana, Quercus montana and Pinus taeda. They have different life cycle, growth speed and color change during four seasons and maximize the effect of succession on light and shade. People would have rich experience when they walk through during diferent period of time. Also, by clearing some trees out and introducing more dense trees in, this design could accelerate or modulate succession and do some intervenes.

According to existing site conditions, which includes sun light, humidity, slope, soil, etc, four plant species need to be planted in different place. Design makes several plants compound modes response to topography. Furthermore, due to their different life span, growth cycle, the influence succession have on light and shade would be obvious. Light spot would change with time, with succesion that plants and landform bring.

GREEN CONVERGENCE Resilient Corridor for Jaipur

Location: Jaipur, India Type: Group work, collaborate with Xuefei Yang Time: 09/2020-12/2020 Instructor: Maria Gonzalez Aranguren & Pankaj Vir Gupta Jaipur, the capital and the largest city of the Indian state of Rajasthan, has faced many of the problems associated with population growth in its rapid development, such as water shortages, untreated sewage and heavy solid waste pollution. The site we are working with is along Mount Rd, an important road between Aravalli Hills and slums, connecting the northern and southern part of the city. By creating an ecological corridor with a circulatory system for both water and waste, we collect and decentralize solid waste and waste water from the surrounding slums, including creating rain gardens to collect and purify runoff, establishing underground sewage system to reuse, building infrastructures to meet residents daily needs, etc. Upon enhancing city resiliency through combining different system into one and increasing area of green space, we also consider its potential economic value, such as tourism and food production, which is also one of the biggest potential focal points of Jaipur.

The corridor has

30 bus stations,

as well as gathering space for nearby residents and shelter for the homeless.

TYPE A Rain Garden In the middle of mountain and residential area. We create a large rain garden to collect storm water, which is like a buffer to block pedestrian. On the road side we set the linear bioswale to not only increase green space but also filter grey water. A more completed drain system is established among wastewater and stormwater. The water roof collection system could save about 53,058 liters/year.

The difference from the first section is that we build a smaller rain garden to collect storm water between the hill and residential area, and create a path for people to walk along. Public latrines, waste bins and gathering place are designed to arrangely located in residential areas to form a network. Besides, public latrine's roof can collect rain water and serve for itself.

TYPE C Urban Farm & Recycle Center There are canals and large open spaces on both sides of the corridor. We use this site as a central ecological park, including wetlands and bioswales, to collect rainwater and sewage for purification. The proposed recycle center, where recyclable waste collected by trucks can be delivered, and ragpickers and staff can conduct waste collection and resell them here. The ecological park hopes to form a self-recycling system, including the collection of water in the corridor, the treatment of water in wetland and the reuse of purified water by farms, so as to create ecological and economic value.

TYPE D Attractions Combination of corridor and attraction. we transform the parking lot of the attraction into a place for gathering and trading, and corridors can guide tourists into the attraction and provide them with more opportunities to enter slums and learn more about the slums. We aim at connecting different people through the special public space of the scenic spot, through the trading activities that are always your way.

PLANTS SELECTION The first type of plant is a crop grown on urban farms. Due to the drought and insufficient water supply in the city, we use the drought-tolerant crops, and the water demand is basically less than 60cm a year.

The rainwater garden at th through a step-like design grow native plants that cre

he foot of the mountain purifies the organic matter from the rainwater by planting deep-rooted plants, and is filtered n many times, and finally collected in the pipes of the corridor. In addition to purifying water supplies, rain gardens eate an environment for biodiversity

WEB DESIGN I design a website called "Paperplane". People share their life with strangers. People can make friends if they have the same feelings/same things to share or to do. Pickup/fly "paperplane" randomly to see what will happen.

VR TECH https://lcm1013.github.io/LAR7415_As2_Ex2_Chaoming/WADIRUM.htm WADI RUM VILLAGE --- TRAVEL IN THE FUTURE Tourism presents the greatest current threat with poorly regulated off road driving by tour operators, construction of illegal campsites, and self-guided tourists causing vegetation damage and also threatening the integrity of the site. The red sand, one of the unique features of this place, is being destroyed by the wheel tracks. Also, the illegal hunting in Wadi Rum have bad effects on biodiversity: the Arabian oryx was hunted to extinction 80 years ago. We made a new tourism proposal in Wadi Rum, which focus on alleviating those threats. We create a wristband and use VR Technology simulate how people can use that wristband as a field guide to travel in Wadi Rum. Collaborate with Junhong Fu Site Analysis
