01 STARRY STARRY NIGHT An Interactive Landscape Design
2020 Master of Landscape Architecture Capstone Project Location: Seattle, WA Instructor: David Goldberg, Wu, Hong The strong sense of enclosure through staggered concretes of Freeway Park is perceived as an unsafe space, especially at night. This design strategy takes advantage of the modern interactive landscape, which would monitor the movements of visitors. If a person exhibits an irregular movement, the walkway will illuminate a red color and a call for help will automatically be made to alert authorities. The interactive landscape allows visitors to feel safely supervised and connected to space. This design exploration that incorporates the research results stated in previous data analysis. This chapter not only aims at testing those design ideas but also illustrates how the design techniques could be utilized for designing an interactive lighting design in a practical site. A design that could be applied anywhere, ďŹ ts nowhere speciďŹ cally. Every site has its own character which could be strengths or weaknesses for designing an interactive landscape.

The canopy plaza is an important connection between northern and southern parks. From the existing condition, the dark corner among concretes makes people feel unknown about the surrounding environment . Therefore, I proposed this landscape lighting which interacts with human behavior. When people pass through those dark corners, they help you have a sense of surrounding
This piano staircase is basically an interaction with different tones when you step on stairs one by one. It is operated by Arduino with motion sensors.It takes advantage of people's curiosity to facilitate the explorative experience. With the interaction with the piano staircase. Visitors can create their own piece by stepping on the stair.

02 SPRING CREEK WATERSHED ArcGis Mapping Design
2017 Fall Systematic Studio Location: Spring Creek Watershed, State College, PA Instructor: Frans Padt, Wu, Hong, Stephan Mainzer ArcGis Studio looks closely at the larger landscape and associated systems. We will explore major landscape features that will serve as a vehicle for understanding systems as an expression of cultural and natural processes. My focus is on the design of the participatory community landscape that will provide people with a desirable entrainment park. It can make these existing community parks more valuable. The potential area is a public open area in the State College which in downtown near Penn State. There are a lot of students and residents over there. The current land use of this potential site is a parking lot. We can take advantage of the relatively lower elevation, higher walkability, convenient transportation, and populous population to design an interactive community park. The park can serve as a multi-function park in this area.

03 Bartram's Garden A Riverfront Renovation
2018 Spring Design Studio Location: Bartram’s Garden, Philadelphia, PA Instructor: Neil Korostoff, Lisa DuRussel, Alec Spangler In this project, we developed a waterfront strategy for part of the Bartram’s Garden portion of the Schuylkill River, integrating a new northern gateway to the nation’s oldest public garden for the recently completed Bartram’s Mile trail that connects with Center City and Fairmount Park. The program will include a boat building school, water based recreation activities, community access, and riparian restoration. The site is adjacent to a history railway , but it also preserved the initial memory of Philadelphia's traffic development (e. g. railway monument). It has a long history and cultural background, a fantastic river landscape and convenient transportation. The design goal of this railway park is to build it into a recreational park for the public to relax , exercise, and join the Schuylkill River System and Bartram`s Miles, creating a new urban landmark for experiencing the nature and culture.

04 REVITALIZED 4 SEASONS A Multi-displined Design
2018 Fall Advanced Design Studio Location: Cleveland, OHIO, US Instructor: Paul Daniel Marriott, Dan Wills Long derided as ‘the mistake on the lake’ and infamous for the Cuyahoga River that was so polluted it caught on fire in 1969, Cleveland is experiencing a dynamic renaissance. The city’s population is growing for the first time in decades (with another 20,000 new residents projected in the downtown area in the next two years) and billions of dollars are being invested in new commercial and residential projects. The city’s main Public Square, recently redesigned by James Corner, has become a symbol of the new Cleveland and the city’s commitment to quality open and green spaces. Just a few blocks from Corner’s Public Square is our project site where you will use your skills as landscape architects to design a new and vibrant high-density urban neighborhood. This designed place located near the Cuyahoga River. This studio site has been studied and planned for highdensity residential development and a performing arts facility.

05 THE TREE TIME A Multi-Family Community Design
2019 Spring Community/ Public Space Studio Location: State College, PA Instructor: Paul Marriott, Tim Johnson, Ken Tanminga Designing great communities—living places of character, health, functionality, inclusion, beauty, and resilience— demands careful analysis, an understanding of shared aspiration and competing values, creative insight and technical competence, and an ethical resolve to do the right thing. Physical planning and design of communities and the places within them are, and will continue to be, at the core of the profession of landscape architecture. Indeed, creating inspired living environments and public spaces is one of our discipline’s loftiest goals. Quiet, beautiful and ecological green community will be designed for single graduates, professional students, scholars, and families. It sets back in a peaceful neighborhood in the north of the campus. This is an ideal community for students who want a quiet environment in which to study and rest, while still enjoying a friendly social network of the potential residents. It also serves as a medium for scholars and young families to gather for social, spiritual, and academic pursuits.

06 Stormwater Design An Implementation Design 2018 Fall Design Implementation Location: State College, PA Instructor: Stuart Echols, Hong Wu For any design to become a reality, the specifics of the design such as the landform—structure relationships, grading and drainage, pedestrian and vehicular circulation, and other site improvements must be resolved. This resolution, which is a further refinement of the student’s design, must be technically functional, safe, ecologically responsible, aesthetically pleasing, and true to the design intent. Understanding design implementation standards and technology is an essential part of the design process because it allows students to assure the successful installation of their designs and provides opportunities for them to steward our land, vegetation and water. The investigation of drainage systems introduces to standard calculations for stormwater run-off and management and explores a wide variety of innovative means of stormwater management designed.

It maybe cannot contain the stormwater even during heavy rain. However, we can see from the aerial view, on the right side of the building. Combined with these three, it definitely works.
