Within this project unfolds a transformative endeavor, marrying education and inclusivity in migrantworker communities. This Children's Educational Resources Renovation Project is a commitment to Space Justice — an ethos guiding the creation of culturally sensitive, empowering spaces for young learners. Beyond physical renovations, it envisions educational resources as bridges, connecting diverse backgrounds and cultivating a sense of belonging. This portfolio encapsulates a belief that every child, irrespective of their journey, deserves an educational environment that kindles curiosity, celebrates diversity, and contributes to a more just and equitable future.

Tool _Rhino7 /Photoshop /Adobe Illustrator ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) facilities are crucial to equitable landscape architecture. This project serves as a testament to the conviction that true justice demands equitable access to the beauty and functionality of outdoor spaces for all individuals, regardless of physical abilities. The ADA, woven into the fabric of these projects, becomes a vehicle for breaking down barriers, both physical and metaphorical. It is a commitment to inclusivity, recognizing that landscapes, as public realms, should be designed with the inherent right of access for every member of society. This preface sets the stage for a collection of designs where ramps replace barriers, sensory gardens invite all to engage, and universally accessible pathways pave the way for a more inclusive and just outdoor experience. As we navigate these pages, let us acknowledge that the essence of Space Justice in landscape design is incomplete without the fundamental principle that every individual, regardless of ability, deserves to engage, explore, and find solace in the outdoor spaces we collectively shape. Therefore, landscape architects must incorporate ADAcompliant elements such as ramps, pathways, seating, and signage into their designs to ensure equitable access for individuals with disabilities. It emphasizes the importance to creating inclusive outdoor spaces, promoting independence, and enriching the overall user experience to enhance the functionality and usability of landscapes. 11

FUNCTION Healing plantation
An age-friendly park is essential due to increasing the aging population and the increasing need for senior care and well-being. The park offers a safe and accessible environment for seniors to engage in physical activities, socialize, and improve their physical and mental health. It also promotes active aging, reducing the risk of chronic diseases and loneliness. Additionally, the park provides an opportunity for intergenerational interaction, fostering a sense of community and support.

Advisor_Gao Hui Tool _Rhino7 /Photoshop /Adobe Illustrator According to reports on the Internet, no baby-care-friendly facilities is one of the causes of the decreasing birth rate.Therefore, in response to today's fast-paced lifestyles, the imperative for mobile baby care rooms is clear. These portable sanctuaries address the contemporary need for on-the-go parenting, providing a secure haven for infants in various situations. The project advocates for more accessible, fully-equipped mother and baby rooms is essential to ensure the well-being and convenience of mothers, fathers, and infants everywhere, which aims to build a baby-care friendly built environment
