STATEMENT

I am A graduated urban planner with MLA degree from TAMU, now studing in UCB in MUD. believe that a successful landscape design must achieve a balance among ecology, human being and architecture. The successful landscape design should be within the nuture rather than on top of it. The design of green space is a solution to the problems related to the site instead of a solely represtation of personal fancies of the designer. In addition, the design of greenspace is to produce more livable cities, icrease biodiversity, provide resilience to climate change and better resource management.

SHELLMOUND MAP

- Recorded by Nels Nelson,1909

Shellmounds have existed in the San Rafael area for millennia, offering valuable information about prehistoric coastal communities and their interactions with the environment, providing insights into the lifeways, cultures, and histories of the indigenous peoples.

<COMPOSITION OF CALIFORNIA SHELLMOUNDS> EDWARD WINSLOW GIFFORD, February 24,1916

7 main constituents into which each sample of Shellmound material was separated were fish remains, other vertebrate remains, shell (oyster mussel, clam) charcoal, ash, rock and residue. Shell is the most abundant, the average mound containing over 52% by weight.

SHELLMOUND "EWU"

<ETHNOHISTORY AND ETHNOGEOGRAPHY OF THE COAST MIWOK AND THEIR NEIGHBORS, 1783-1840 > - by Randall Milliken,2009

Between 1794 and 1914 Proselytization spread to San Rafael, and the earliest group of Indigenous People, Coast Miwok, settled in the area. 4 original villages were formed, of which the one known as Ewu at Gallinas Creek was the prototype of the present community - Santa Venetia.

<Placing Refuge: Shell Mounds and the Archaeology of Colonial Encounters in the San Francisco Bay Area, California> Ewu, one of three key ethnographic village sites recorded in the Aguasto area.

Santa Venetia was built on marshland that had been filled in 1914. Due to World War I, the developers, Mabry McMahan,abandoned the original project of developing it into a bayside luxury development model.

Marin County Civic Center is considered one of Frank Lloyd Wright's most significant works. The construction began in 1960, completed in 1962. It is a state and National Historic Landmark

>> Phase Initial Operating Segment: Downtown San Rafael North Santa Rosa (42-Miles)

>> Construction of the SMART Phase 1 project started in January 2012

>> $15,954,000 has been programmed into planning.

>> 40% of Nation's total population live along the coast.

>> Approximately 355,000 residents and $46.2 billion worth of property in the Bay Area are at risk during a 100-year storm

>> By 2050, HIGH TIDE FLOODING is likely to occur between 25 - 75 days per year, depending on location.

>> Shellmounds as the way to establish a more permanent public edge as a kind of structural fill to the shoreline.

>> LIFE'S BACKTRACKING:

1000 yrs ago: Indigenous People used shellfish as a source of food and formed their sacred place; 1000 yrs later, People draw on the power of shellfish to cope with seawater intrusion.

SITE COMPARISON

>> Each period of the city's growth has energized San Rafael and requires a reasonable use of development.

>> Public transportation has also served as a link in the promotion of urban culture.

>> A single adult oyster can filter more than 50 GALLONS of water a day.

This design project envisions a cityscape that embraces Ohlone's cultural renaissance and fosters reconciliation. Grounded in principles of respect and collaboration, this endeavor seeks to weave the rich tapestry of Ohlone's heritage into the fabric of our urban environment. Our mission is to create spaces that honor the traditions, stories, and practices of the Ohlone communities that have long guarded this land, helping preserve and celebrate the heritage and allowing residents to understand their city's evolution over time.

Possibility of Optimization of Road Network Structure: Through the evaluation of the overall regional selectivity, the optimized road network appears more uniform, and the accessibility of the land within the region is significantly improved.

Figure 1. Based on the spatial accessibility calculated from the topological depth of each axis (road centerline) as the starting point, the blue axis represents the roads with higher inter-regional accessibility.

Figure 2. Each axis (road centerline) represents the frequency of being selected for travel, and the darker axis represents a higher degree of choice, and also plays a greater role in the traffic connection between various areas.

Figure 3. Due to the influence within the Puhe Bay New Town in Yuhong District, the future accessibility will spread outward with the core area rail transit transfer station as the center.

WIND ENVIRONMENT SIMULATION - RESILIENCE ENVIRONMENT

Through the building layout, the wind environment of Puhe Bay New District is improved, making it cooler in summer and warmer in winter - the annual temperature difference is reduced by 3.2°C

The design considers the way that different buildings connect and share spaces. As for the commercial street, the commercial space and the commercial space connecting by the Leisure connection layer. The connection between the commercial space and the office space is established by the leisure connection layer. In the health care block type, the connection between the serviced apartments for the elderly constructed by the leisure connection layer, and the rest of the R&D space and the healthcare function building connect by the health connection layer.

As for the coastal city, League City has a great threat to sea-level rise. At the same time, as trees are reduced year by year, the increase in more impervious areas has increased the possibility of floods. According to the research, half of the cities in 50 years have been submerged in the sea. This situation is not optimistic.
