â&#x2013;

I believe that...

landscape design has to fulfill the requirements of the space, the function, the culture and the nature. In another word, it has to talk to them, to communicate with them, or even fall in love with them. â&#x2013;

In my eyes,

there are two directions, four factors when talking about landscape architecture. The first is about the space-function, and the other one is about the culture-nature. When we talk about the space and the function, we focus on the experience and feeling of the users when they are visiting the site. It might be temporary, and it is the basic of the design. Additionally, when it comes to the culture and the nature, people pay attention to the satisfaction of the users' mental needs and the desire of the harmony between human and the environment. Thus, it can be long-lasting, and it is discussed in a deeper way. â&#x2013;

It is undeniable that ...

when the design of the space and the function is amazing, the accomplishment of the culture and the nature can make it a success. In my opinion, during the exploring period of the design, a new approach that can combine the four factors is going to appear.

A Corner in the University

The site is surrounded by buildings on three sides, with the other side facing the playground. Space of this site is defined according to surrounding buildings, and three viewing platforms with different functions are chosen according to users with different purposes and visions. At the same time, users on the playground are led to this site through the act of opening the boundary of this ground on the side facing the playground, with the aim to invigorate this site which is also enriched by various elements of landscape including flowing winding waters and arrays of trees intersected with each other, contributing to variable designed space where all the elements are related to each other while users can enjoy relaxation, recreation, and sightseeing. This site will be a new place for leisure as well as a spatially interesting corner on the campus.

Current Problems ■ Problem 1: Because of the level difference in the site, there are many steps in the current square, which brings some inconvenience to the users, especially those old people and children. In my design, this problem can be solved by setting several plots to decrease the bad influence the level difference brings. ■ Problem 2: Current square lacks some places for certain people, like children. Thus, children have no facilities to play with. In my design, site is divided into different areas for different kind of people. ■ Problem 3: Current square lacks a clear division of the space, which means people who wants to have a rest have to share the space with people who are chatting loudly. In my design, a reasonable division of the space will be realized. ■ Problem 4: Current square is suffering the disordered traffic and people lack some shortcuts to the place they want to go. In my design, traffic organization is an important part to be solved.

Sight Analysis

The main entrance is open to the citizens and is near the bus station. Thus, this entrance should be large enough to deal with the large population and enclosed so that the square will not be disturbed by the outside traffic.

Based on the division of the site, the traffic line is designed in a form of lines. This formation could ensure that the users could walk to their destinations quickly.

The main function, sightseeing and social activities, is placed in the main part of the site and the additional function, rest and rush through, is placed along the edge of the site.

The wall designed in the site blocks the line of the sight. However, this also emphasize the sight influence in some certain area. Additionally, the platforms also enable the users to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the place outside the site.

TALK TO THE CULTURE 03 TRADITIONAL CHINESE GARDEN [Landscape Design]

11/2013-1/2014 Individual Design

Idea Generation

Water has its special connotation in Chinese culture, which is demonstrated by many Chinese old sayings. For example, “ 上善若水 ” (the best benevolence is like water); “ 逝者如斯夫 ” (time flies like water); “ 大道不行，乘桴浮于海 ” (if my proposal is not applicable, I will go to the sea by raft). Culturally echoed by distinctive waters in Xuyuan Garden, this design is aimed to meet the need of Chinese men of letters for enjoying sight of the world in one place by creating a touchable picture of water through the process of collecting landscape of rivers, lakes, and seas in one garden filled with hills, stones, buildings, and plants.

■ ROCK Rock can be seem as the symbol of mountains in Chinese Garden and is always used to imitate the mountains in the nature.

■ ROCK-WATER Water flows along the rocks and is emerged in the mountain.

Design Features

■ ROCK-PLANT Tall trees can strengthen the visual height of the moutain while short ones can create a natural scenery.

PLANT

■ PLANT-PLANT Plant can be grown in different forms-isolated planting or group planting, which can create typical sceneries. ■ ROCK-BUILDING Buildings can be constructed in the moutain to equip a broad vision or near the moutain to equip a good background.

BUILDING

■ PLANT-BUILDING Plant can help to define the theme of the building and soften the hard lines of the architecture and enhance the depth of the field. ■ BUILDING-BUILDING Buildings can be linked by porches, or by the pavements in the garden. The former one can create some transition room and the latter one can enrich the experience in the garden.

Plants and other details are utilized to deal with disqualified depth of focus caused by the fact that main buildings are designed to head towards the west in order to avoid the clash between landscape and surrounding buildings.

Wetlands In Jiangsu

Jiangsu Province is featured with so-called “Shuixiang” culture which means that every city there has its distinctive wetlands of a great many types containing both landscape value and ecological significance. This designed object meets the requirements for waters for its location adjacent to Xuanwu Lake. Therefore, “Shuixiang” culture is employed and reflected upon landscape of wetlands. In this design, the exposition park includes statistical classification of the type of wetlands in every city in Jiangsu Province before each type is defined as coastal wetlands, riverine wetlands, lake wetlands, marsh wetlands, or man-made wetlands and is arranged in the site. Design scheme is finally formed by relating current condition of the ground to characteristics of each type of wetlands and requirements for planting on these wetlands. Types

05 A COMPREHENSIVE DESIGN PRO JECT P O S I T I O N Background Analysis

Tangshan is among the places of health-preserving hot spring with the longest history in China is praised as “a paradise for health preservation”. According to the preliminary plans, the target is to build Tangshan into a nationally renowned tourist resort featured with hot spring and to improve the tourist area extending from Tangshan Mountain and Qinglongshan Mountain.Projects of camping and extreme sports are designed to be developed by utilizing the advantage of beautiful scenery decorated with mountains, hills, and waters.

Tourists Market Analysis of Tangshan Tourists' Occupations

Tourists are from various jobs, mainly composed of students. Tourists' Origins

Most tourists come from Nanjing or other big cities around (e.g. Shanghai), and many are from other cities in Jiangsu Province. Tourists' Purposes

Touris ts vi si t Tan gshan ma i nl y for sightseeing and entertainment. Tourists' Modes

Most tourists are self-service travelers.

Site tourist projects are mainly aimed at students, whose consuming capacity is quite limited, and consider the need of other groups of tourists as well. Relaxation and entertainment are the core of site tourist projects in which tourists enjoy strong freedom. One-day tour and two-day tour are the main tourist modes. According to the prediction of General Plan for NewlyDeveloped District of Tangshan of Nanjing City , 2030 will witness an annual tourist flow of 20 million, an annual revenue of ¥39,900 million, and a per capita consumption of ¥1,700. With the consideration of location, transportation, and market condition, site tourist projects in Tangshan are predicted to embrace an estimate of 800,000 tourists in 2030. According to investigation, Tangshan Hot Spring enjoys a good reputation and a vast market with a continuous stream of tourists who would like to visit this spring twice or more and stay there for one or two days. Turnover mainly comes from hot spring, catering, and lodging. Open-air spa is one of the most popular hot spring service. Based on Maslow’s hierarchy of need theory and relevant survey, hot spring service is classified according to basic need for amusement, physical health, and mental pursuit, respectively referring to the common, sub-healthy people, and high-spending crowd. There are indoor and outdoor hot springs, some of which are offered with catering and massage with the purpose to improve their function of health preservation.

Current Soil Condition ■ The layer of soil in the site is thin because the stratum is hard and has slightly weathered. The layer of soil on the mountaintop and mountainside is thinner than the layer on the foot of the mountain. ■ The most part of soil in the site is damp and available for planting.

Currently, vegetation in Tangshan Mountain demonstrates a trend of succession, in which evergreen coniferous plants, such as Pinus massonianas, have started to be replaced by deciduous tall trees of fagaceae. Southern Tangshan Mountain is mainly covered by evergreen and deciduous broad-leaved forests while Northern Tangshan Mountain is mainly covered by evergreen coniferous forest and deciduous broad-leaved forest. This plan is designed to be consistent with natural evolution and to create a natural landscape characterized by marked cycles of seasons.

Propotion and Evaluation

■ Space density is an important indicator to evaluate

the dimensional atmosphere and the spatial quality. It can help people to define the proper site of the Surface Roughness Vegetation Corverage projects. According to the documents, the slope is divided into four levels, which are 66-81, 81-96, 96-111, 111126. Relative extractions and evaluations are executed in order to quantize the impact of slope factor.

According to the documents and relative research, space density can be attained by superposing the vegetation coverage on the surface roughness and then extract out the four parts based on the color.

Weight index of all the impact factors of ecological sensitivity are tested for consistensy with the application of matrix. Excel is employed for scoring as well as evaluation, and calculates numerical value of weighting applied to constructional adaptability superposition afterwards, with which final constructional classification can be made. In this scoring and evaluation of ecological sensitivity, every factor is scored with weighting on the basis of adjustment according to soil, vegetation, waters, and land forms. Then, the result of weighting can be calculated out.

Project description:

This design pays attention to the MEMORY. As it is a design cooperated by all the class, it can recall the unforgettable memories of the time we spent together. Thus, we would like to freeze our smiling faces on the road we walk by and in front of the academic building we have lessons, emphasizing the concept by using the light. In another word, light up the academic building of the school of architecture. Considering the variability of the materials, we would like to use some available materials to create the wonderful result. Therefor we use some disposable bowls with some mixture of ink and water to pile up or arrange in a square. The light of the bowls on the bottom is cool light, while the light of the photo box on the top is warm light, so the photos can be highlight and attract people to concentrate on the content of the photos and understand our idea of the lighting design.
