THE FLOW OF TAPESTRY Santa Fe, NM

Rancho Viejo is a community space within a recently built village located in the high desert environment of Santa Fe, New Mexico. The locals also hold their history sacred and treat water as a precious resource. The Flow of Tapestry is designed based on the concept of water. By exploring the character and history of water in Santa Fe, the project comes up with this water based self-sustainable design proposal without actually having water on site.

WUHAN, CITY OF MEMORIES Wuhan, China

The identity of Wuhan is clearly unique but is at the verge of loss as the urban developments came in. The cultural richness is diminishing, and memories are slowly forgotten. Little is there to remind people of how Wuhan first became an important trade point and advanced city in China. The urban design project, Wuhan, City of Memory, seeks to develop a 21st century version of Wuhan that highlights economic strength, enhances the community cohesion , encourages the intergenerational interaction and reveals the smallness as identity.
