LOVE OF LIFE

Based on the theory of cyberfeminism, we hope that local women can have a place to shoot Italian characteristic food culture and their real-life by using the Internet and digitization as tools.

Our site is located in the central park of Scampia, where we form a close connection with the surrounding community. As landscape designers, we mainly design from the shooting site, setting up a variety of Spaces such as edible landscape, event square, rain garden, kitchen, restaurant, meeting square and so on. The urban agricultural park allows local women to produce high-quality short videos and content to e xpand the influence of local women beyond the physical environment and gain some online awareness and financial income to achieve female empowerment.

CYBERFEMINISM Cyberfeminism is a feminist approach which foregrounds the relationship between cyberspace, the Internet, and technology.

It can be used to refer to a philosophy,methodology or community.

City parks and highways for the Hedgehog and Human Site:Changning District,Shanghai City,China Inividual work 2020.04-2020.06 Mentor:Yichun Liang

Tianshan Park is is a leisure park surrounded by residential areas and schools with developed traffic.However, the green space facilities of Tianshan Park are destroyed and the ecological environment is deteriorating.

In particular, I noticed that many small mammals, represented by hedgehogs, live in Tianshan Park and in the green protecctive bet space under the overpass.It inspired me to create habitats for the hedgehogs and raise opportunities to get close to nature for people. I expand the green space of Tianshan Park to the green protective belt space under the overpass as a foothold to establish corridors,and rearranged the water system, established microtopography,created a habitat for hedgehogs.

The year of the hedgehog Hedgehogs are small animals that need to hibernate. They like to be active at night and feed mainly on insects and worms.

At the end of spring,hedgehogs awake from winter sleep to a new year with two things in mind: food and finding a partner.

In cities, hedgehogs usually hide in parks, community green spaces, street green spaces, etc

Daily Path in the Park

I drew inspiration from the Geographical relationship needed by hedgehogs,designed the northern part of the park as the main active area for hedgehogs to a Continuous flow. flow A large amount of unused space under the overpass is used to establish a Corridor for hedgehogs to move. The multilayered corridor design provides good light conditions for plant growth. The use of vertical space reduces the floor space and provides more habitats for hedgehogs.

In the picture, I have selected five representative places in the continuous flow to show how hedgehogs live in the park,including food source, settler, collection and acquisition of natural water resources, open spaces, ecological corridors, etc.

Dig some Holes in the raised ramps to make it easier for the hedgehog to find a Shelter Shelter.

Hedgehogs can hibernate and breeding.

Bending passages Between the terrains and the shallow runoff, hedgehogs start their new day after being replete.

On the one hand, rich plants are planted on the porches for animals to inhabit; on the other hand, they form a certain distance with the crowd, and live together Without interfering with each other.

The relatively Open field provides more activity space for the hedgehog, and guides the hedgehog to a relatively comfortable and reliable environment through the creation of multiple edges.

Ecological connectivity Hedgehogs walk and rest on scrub-covered corridors, and people bath in the sun on open lawns under the overpass.

SEW THE GAP Urban Design for the Revival of Industrial Site Site:Yangpu District,Shanghai City,China Team work-Teammate:Jincheng Zhang 2021.03-2021.05 Mentor:Xiaoqing Xu

Fuxing island was originally the most important shipbuilding and fishing center in Shanghai, which are industries that once supported the city’s development, marking its historical progression. Excavation of the Fuxing island canal has led the island to be separated from the hinterland, having little connection with the interior of the city .

This design emphasizes the revival of this industrial island and its connection with the internal city. Through integrating Shanghai’s historical heritage and focuses of economic development with surrounding universities, new industries will be implanted, vitalizing the island. The increase of traffic across the river will also improve the accessibility of the island, fusing public spaces on both river banks, forming a multi-layered connection.

REGENARATION AND CONFLUENCE Translation of Wine Culture Site:Gusu District,Suzhou City,China Inividual work 2020.10-2020.12 Mentor:Hongjun Zhou

Suzhou has a long history of brewing, being famous for its wine industry.

Changmen, situated at the intersection of the five waters, was an important waterfront in the Ming and Qing dynasties for civic recreation and the prosperous wine industry. Since the affluent commercial streets opposite to the site has attracted most visitors, today, this hard ground area, has been neglected, having little visitors.

Through the synesthetic translation of four famous wines, the design form different open spaces to reconnect the historical context of the site with the current social needs. It also allows the space to restore the rich wine culture by reintroducing wine into public life. In this way, the site's rich history covered by society's development can be shown to the public again.

Site Analysis

Development of Wine in Suzhou Suzhou has a long history of winemaking. Many famous wines have been passed down to this day.

Shantang street, which has been transformed by businesses, is separated by a river from the old districts of Shanghai. This disables visitors to have interaction with the old districts. Although the Waterfront site has a variety of excellent sightseeing spots, it is overloaded with businesses, having limited functions and only providing services to a few types of costumers; thus, it has lost its glamour.

Shantang street

Old North terminal

The wine industry in Wu State (Suzhou) has begun to take shape, and drinking has become a trend among people.

Changmen

"Zhuyechun" wine (a kind of rice liquor) is well-known all over the country.

"Du Mao Chai" wine (a kind of rice liquor) has the highest yield Baigong ancestral temple

"Osmanthus-scent winter wine" is well-known throughout the country.

The "Jiafan Wine" (a kind of Huangjiu) introduced to Suzhou with the Shaoxing brewers is popular.

In modern times, many manufacturers use more materials to improve and innovate base on the original wine, and produce a variety of fruit wines that meet modern tastes.

The Co-construction of the communal garden is conducted following fieldwork, co-design with residents of the community and roadshow discussions. Therefore, multiple forces are channelled in completion of the project and they support the process of community planning, coming up with a spacial design and establishing self-governed groups.

Mounts and water

The character “Yi” means comfort and ease.The garden is intended to be a quiet and expansive space for recreation.

This design, based on the original design of Congzhou Chen, expands the central water surface, enlarging the original linear shape, forming three layers in two directions. In order to convey a seclusive sensation, the main architecture and the small courtyard are hidden in between the two mountains, taking into account of the surrounding view.
