Jacksonville Park Rendered Plan. 2021 4

01. Jacksonville Landing At the crossroads of the St Johns and Jacksonville’s downtown, the Landing is a perfect place for a park that expresses the city’s identity.

Our design proposal unites these two special and defining forces – the wild nature of the St Johns River and the vibrant culture of Jacksonville – to create a public park that could be nowhere else.

Pandemic-friendly engagement tactics – like an innovative project hotline – gathered the community’s voice and helped us understand Jacksonville. People talked about the city and the river like long-lost friends. They told us

about the draw of the city’s unique natural setting – a dynamic, sunny and riverine place. They remembered experiences of festivals and concerts – and giggled about Jacksonville’s affinity for spectacle and fireworks.

01. In Between the Distance Top 10 (3%) of Reimagine The Spaces In Between – Student Ideas Competition, World Landscape Architecture, WLA . 2020

The traditional landscape design aims to narrow the distance between people and create attracti ve gathering acti vities, however, this unprecedented COVID-19 situation will encourage us to put more emphasis on the normalization of social distance, and interest us to explore what can landscape create “in between the distance”. As an important role of the city, landscape design should be able to provide flexibility in emergency management and instruct people to pay attention to social distance as well as the new mechanism to organize the space in and between the distance. Therefore, we need to transform the traditional way, which is gathering, centralized into a scattered, safer, and more flexible landscape design that enables people to socialize and watch others interacting with the landscape while guaranteeing the social distance. We believe that distancing the landscape will prove to be a smarter and safer landscape for public space, and inspire future design.

02. Pillipsdale Bird Sanctuary Site Ecology Design Studio, Group Work with Xiuyan Qin. 2020

In this project, we carefully transformed a post-industrial waterfront site into a birdfriendly sanctuary and community park based on the following design principles: creating a continuous green space; creating bird-friendly habitat; monitoring bird life; diving into the sound of nature; taking over from the factory; softening the boundary. The site is located in the historic Phillipsdale Village district in East Providence, Rhode Island and it has a heavy industrial history that left contaminants in the ground. On the other hand, we see merits in its location and natural resources. After years of gradual reinvention, restoration and conservation, hopefully the site will recover from its former states and become healthy and resilient. The space is designed to subtly balance the relationship between human activities and bird protection by limitinghuman access and creating various types of habitat.

Neighborhood Bird Species Analysis

Common species around this area are American Black Duck, Mute Swan, Common Grackle, American Robin, Wood Thrush, Scarlet Tanager. Birds play an important part in this ecosystem. By connecting existing green

spaces both on and near our site, supplementing the existing vegetation with valuable native plants, we aim to protect existing species as well as to attract rare species like the Cerulean Warbler, Purple Finch, Bufflehead, Marsh Wren, and others noted in bird habitat planning documents like Partners in Flight Bird Conservation Plan, published by the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation

Planting Plan Meadow

Orchard

The site is divided into eight ecological communities according to its elevation, its relationship with water and its design purpose such as providing activities for visitors or habitats for birds. We studied the plant species and spatial structures of the natural communities in Southern New England to come up with the typologies. Some special species like Milkweed, Pitch Pine, Cattail is chosen to provide nesting materials and food for birds. Most of the trees that were existing in the future orchard area are the same native species designed for the deciduous forest, so a transplanting plan is feasible. Considering the trees has already adopted to the site, the survival rate should be higher. It takes five years for fruit trees to mature and five times longer for the barren land to finish the secondary succession to become a mature deciduous forest. During those years, cleaning out invasive species, dead trees, and adding additional native plants will be required for maintenance. 24

03. Live Life - Downtown Providence Life Improvement Constructed Landscape Studio, Individual Work. 2020

Downtown Providence is facing a massive population loss. Lower building densities and a lack of urban activity exacerbate this process. In order to re-engage residents to settle here, our group proposes an urban renewal plan that stitches the city together. On this basis, each of us chooses a plot for site design, providing more lifestyles to serve users, and attract more people to settle here, making Providence lively again. My site is in the center of Downtown Providence, surrounded by educational buildings from three universities and colleges, and business buildings. The first floor of those buildings are retail and restaurants. I introduced an exhibition building with green roof serves as an outdoor theater to make the most use of the site. Combining with a rain garden and a sports zone, the green architecture will bring both ecology and health benefits to the urban life. The design uses various architectural interfaces to reintegrate the city’s separated spaces, enhancing people’s communication and participation in the urban life.

04. Reducing Human-Elephant Conflict - Pepper planting and odor diffusion strategies Xishuangbanna Dai Autonomous Prefecture, China. Group Work with Jiawei Liu. 2018

Asian elephants in China once spread to the Yellow River area, but now, they have retreated to the Xishuangbanna, Pu 'er, Lincang area. The number is about 200 to 250, more than 85% of them are concentrated in Xishuangbanna. In recent years, the conflict between humans and elephants has become more and more serious. The population density has far exceeded the threshold of population pressure that Asian elephants can bear. Human and Asian elephant activity areas are overlapped. The habitat of Asian elephants is gradually degraded and disappeared, and the amount of their food is reduced. Asian elephants are constantly trying to feed on corn, rice, sugar cane, and other crops planted by human beings. In order to protect their crops, people take various driving measures against Asian elephants, which aggravates the conflict between humans and elephants.

Since 1960, the planting industry has expanded rapidly in Jinghong city, Menghai county, and Mengla county of Xishuangbanna Dai autonomous prefecture, China. The artificial economic crop forests took place of natural resources, leading to the serious fragmentation of the whole rainforest landscape.

Mengla

The protected areas of wild elephants are divided into forest islands by artificial barriers, resulting in the decline of the habitat quality of wild elephants and the reduction of their food sources.

Human - Elephant Conflicts

Migration Route: Current & Replanning

Current migratory routes of elephants via villages and roads New routes to reduce the intersection of elephants and human activity areasrea

Elephants’ migratory routes are affected by the elevation, slope, and human activities. It tends to form a path into the interior of the village when they are approaching.

I selected areas with a suitable walking slope (< 30 °) and altitude (900-1200m) of elephants. And replanned the current migratory routes, through the calculation of the minimum value of the impact index. The reprogrammed migratory routes have minimal impact on elephants and human life activities and tend to be symbiotic and stable.

Odor Diffusion Device - Transformation & Operating Principle Because of its great sensitivity to odors, I am thinking of isolating the wild elephant from the village roads by its offensive spiciness. According to the growth characteristics of local plants, I chose to plant the mixture of Capsicum frutescens and Amomum tsaoko.

An odor diffusion device is designed to spread the smell as far as 500 meters around. What’s more, the diffusion area can be changed with the adjustment of the height of the device.

05. Inhabited Bridge - Street Life under the Pell Adaptive Reuse Studio, Group Work with Sofia Paez. 2020

We held a virtual reality exhibit in August 2021 to serve as an introduction for the general public to consider the changes that might take place on the Claiborne Pell Bridge in Newport, RI, in the near future.

We invited our stakeholders from the government and the Newport community to see our design.

We built the physical model together as an 8 people's group. We first built a digital version with Rhino according to the construction documents and site photos, and use the laser cutter to do the pieces and carefully put them together.

We translate our ideas into digital models with Rhino, Twinmotion, Enscape, Pano2VR and Unity, and introduced VR and AR experience to the public.

Shuyi’s Acadamic Work

The fascination with occupying space above water has a long history. Inhabiting existing bridge infrastructure is a rare occurrence of adaptive reuse with a small number of precedents through time. In providing bicycle and pedestrian access to the Claiborne Pell Bridge, we propose to inhabit the structure creating a destination for the community in Newport and Jamestown, RI and for tourists all over the world. At 2.1 miles, the length of travel along the Pell Bridge is similar to the distance in New York City between Union Square and Central Park. In an urban environment, such distances are experienced through increments of city blocks that serve to

break up the stretches. We propose similar divisions on the Pell through the creation of blocks on the bridge that will provide a reasonably paced experience across the Narragansett Bay. In creating an addition to the Pell, we propose a groundbreaking construction method of 3D printing, which creates a skeleton of path and structure where the membrane can sit on and be easily replaced as time goes by.

The steel framed deck of the Claiborne Pell Bridge is suspended from cables, supported by two soaring gothic styled intermediate portal towers bordering the shipping channel, that terminate in below water level pile anchors on the shorelines of Connecticut Island Jamestown to the west and Newport to the east, respectively. Crossing the Narragansett Bay on the east bound lane, motorists enjoy the stunning views of the Newport shoreline, the Point Neighborhood along the coastline to the right, and Fort Adams in the far distance to the south. Leaving Newport offers equally impressive views of the Bay and the shore of Connecticut Island with the Jamestown-Verrazano Bridge on the horizon.

Site Plan

At 2.1 miles, the length of travel along the Pell Bridge is similar to the distance in New York City between Union Square and Central Park. In an urban environment, such distances are experienced through city blocks that serve to break up the stretches, and every certain amount of them we can get to a park, plaza or any other kinds of resting spot where urban life can take place.

We propose similar divisions on the Pell through the creation of blocks on the bridge that will provide a reasonably paced experience across the Narragansett Bay, and every certain amounts of block we've design different experiences that can be recreational but can also give spaces to the community to develop economical activities.

The inhabited Bridge starts on the Newport side where we already have a public park, and by enhancing this area we plan to attract more tourism to the north end neighborhood, and an Ecological Path on the quiet and peaceful Jamestown end. For the activities on the bridge, we have a water center and pocket parks near the water surface; tunnel,

activity rooms, exercise paths, shops and cafes hanging under the truss and sitting on the anchor blocks. We set bike stops and a bike station along the whole bridge. Combining with other programs, the layout is following the rule of our “bridge block”.

Shuyi’s Acadamic Work

In order to cross the bridge in the most comfortable way there are key parameters that were taking into considerations, the wind, the rain, and the length

of the bridge and through analyzing the accessible attaching points of the bridge structure, we develop an organic shape membrane system that

creates indoor spaces for different activities and at the same time protects the path itself from the elements.

Shuyi’s Acadamic Work

In the late 1960s, the construction of the cable Pell Bridge was groundbreaking in the first use of shop fabricated parallel wire strands, a new plastic covering for cable protection and a new anchorage system. 54

In creating this new addition to the Pell Bridge, we propose a groundbreaking lightweight construction method of 3D printing using materials like carbon fiber, fiberglass, composite plastic and a membrane system made of ETFE.

The project works as a composite structure, being rigid enough to cover big distances, the sections are supported by the footings and also suspended by tension cables from the existing truss.

The ETFE membrane can be easily replaced as time goes by. This will also help develop new industry in the era. And this inhabited bridge will become the longest 3D Printed Pedestrian & Bicycle bridge to date. 55

Standing on the Providence River Park, do you have any idea about what was happening here centuries ago? The site is consistently changing according to the needs of different periods. Cove, wharf, wasteland and park... the site itself is becoming a witness and the storyteller of the forgotten history. This SEEING THE “ GHOST” installation overlays a series of scenes about the prosperous period of Jewelry District onto the physical world with AR technique that post as lens in Snapchat. It brings the vibrant life back to us, and inspires people to reimagine their relationship with the site.

Dorrance Street used to be an important street that connected downtown to the activity of the working waterfront. This is the place where commerce and industry thrive. Multiple companies were located in the Jewelry District, including a metal watch band company, gold leaf company, imitation diamond jewelry company, cigarette lighter company, wristwatch company, and so on. The waterfront was home to lumberyards, steam mills, coal yards, etc. It supported the daily lives and work of Providence’s residents. What would you like to see along Dorrance Street to re-establish this historic connection?

Original I-195 Highway Bridge in 1960

The Manchester Street Generating Station was responsible for power supply for electric streetcars and trolleys starting in 1903-1904. And in 1912-1914 South Street Station was established to meet increasing residential and business electricity demands. In the 1990s, the formerly oil-powered Manchester Street Generating Station was converted to a low-emission natural gas power plant, and the former South Street Station was repurposed to house the Rhode Island Nursing Education Center and Brown University offices. What does the transformation of these iconic industrial buildings symbolize to you?

Construction of I-195 through Providence began in 1956. This Original Highway Bridge cut downtown Providence off from the Jewelry District and the waterfront. After the new I-195 bridge was built in 2009, the original highway bridge was demolished in 2013, and the new pedestrian and bicycle bridge was constructed in 2019 using the piers of the former stretch of I-195. It connects the Fox Point neighborhood on the east end with the Jewelry District on the west end and spans the Providence River. How have the new bridge and parkland helped to reconnect Providence?

n Delhi, India, the rampant expansion of urbanization, dense vehicles, and waste burning produce particulate matter. All this creates a thick yellow fog that floats above the city.Soil erosion, waste disposal, and chemical runoff have seriously polluted even the sacred Yamuna river. A new Delhi waste disposal model is being considered - a waste disposal park bases on a greenfield, because of the extremely imperfect existing waste transport and disposal system. We select the green space suitable for the waste disposal park and plan to design a green architecture in the west of Delhi via the Yamuna river basin as a module.

04. Digital Media Randering Exhibition Invisable Landscape -Plankton Universe Tech Landsacpe Studio, Group Work with Yuhan Ma. 2021

As one of the tiniest living organisms in the ocean, planktons are invisible with our bare eyes. But they function as plants, providing more than fifty percent of oxygen on earth. We focus on studying how the planktons complete their daily functions and life cycles and have chosen larvacean, a type of zooplankton, and a few phytoplanktons as the main subjects for our illustrations. The initial idea for the project is to make a 3D game, inspired by the graphic forms and life stories of planktons. The player participates in the game by controlling the larvacean, and experiences the role as a predator of phytoplanktons, as the larvacean has a special housing for pumping its prey into the structure. Eventually, when its house gets clogged and heavy, the player escapes from the structure, following the scientific facts in real life, resulting in beautiful marine snow made by a carbon pump. This short video shows our first attempt at the initial idea. Not only the digital models and rendering images of the planktons, which are made artificially with 2D and 3D programs, but the steps we have taken to get more and more understanding of the subjects. We included the photos of the planktons we saw through the microscope, the videos and sound pieces we recorded for making the planktons video demonstration. Every piece of material was gathered as evidence, along with the whole research process throughout the semester, toward the goal of building the small game that illustrates the micro-ecosystem of planktons.
