Recording my life by sketching and writing, I enjoyed myself living in the city. Through witnessing the growth of my home land, I thus observed how human hands could work wonders by recreating the beauty scenery. I have a strong interest in visual communication for creating future scenario that visualize design possibilities. My researches integrate important historical cultural roots and the natural environment. I position myself as a scenario builder and visualizer and dedicate myself to historic culture preservation and place making in the urban area. I am eager to embark on my career and to translate my creativity into high quality design and service. As a designer interested in design language representation, I use programs such as Adobe Suite, Auto CAD, and 3D modeling applications. I am also excellent at handcraft, sketching, and other physical modeling methods. My aim is to transcend design languages, and heighten the immersive atmosphere of the audience.

BIRDING HUB Longleaf Pine Forest Restoration and Betterment summer 2015 mla | auburn university Studio project Instructor: Charlene LeBleu, Elise Cormier Project location: Kendall Creek Tract. Columbus. Geogia. US
The principal of this project is to programming the restoration process of the longleaf pine forest, to enrich the natural resources and create a birding cluster for peoples who live in Columbus, GA and the surrounding areas. In the ancient time, during the Georgia's colonial period, this area used to be the territory of the native american, which was recorded as the creek Indian. The archeologists found numbers of historic heritages both inside of the Fort Benning area and along the the Kedall Creek Tract (KCT). Therefore, the KCT area has both richness historical and natural values need to be extended in the future.

ZONING AND ACTIVITIES The whole park is divided to two zones by the Kendall Creek water body: active and passive. The active area provides sports complex, pick-up game fields, dog parks, trails, and rest areas. Besides, the passive area provides educational fields(like outdoor museum of the Creek History), the cultivated garden(for neighborhoods), birding hub, and camping area for kids and families.

BURNING PROGRAM The programmed burning has four stages: burning, grassland, woodland, and wildlife habitat. As a part of fire ecology, programmed burning helps to promote the restoration of the Longleaf Pine community. In addition to fire resistant adaptations, longleaf pine has a pyrogenic strategy. Spring and summer fires are beneficial because they reduce competition and expose the mineral soil necessary for seed germination in the fall.

visualized experience of trails TRAILS Trails have three types: main trails, sub-trails, and birding trails. The main trail is approximately 2.5 miles, which means almost an hour walking distance. It goes through mostly all of the attractions, including the Monds, the birding hub, and the sports complex. The main trail works for park facility maintance, public hiking, riding, and running, with 12-16 feet wide road. The sub-trails are 7-10 feet wide. And based on the needs for birds habitat, to get rid of the noises around bird cluster, the birding trail is 3-5 feet wide and only for walking.

To create a birds' friendly habitat for citizens, design paid more attention on the experiences during explorations. Four types of habitat are proposed, which including pine with understory, pine with hardwood, pine with grassland, and longleaf pine cluster. The hybrid birding habitat attracts handred types of birds.

BEYOND REMNANT How the network of city parks can be re-designed to enhance tornado preparation and proactively improve recovery fall 2015 - spring 2016 mla | auburn university Master Thesis Instructor: David Hill, Kelly Homan Project location: Birmingham. Alabama. US
BEYOND REMNANT is a study to strategically re-frame the park system in the metropolitan area of Birmingham, Alabama to proactively encourage tornado preparation and enhance recovery. Birmingham recently experienced another blow of devastating damage caused by a Tornado Super Outbreak in 2011. These tornadoes appear to be increasing in both intensity and frequency, and areas of dense population need to become more prepared. This investigation explores how the existing network of parks could be redesigned to serve as emergency infrastructure to the city. If designed properly, this landscape infrastructure not only serves the community for a majority of it’s time as a public park, but is also capable of actively and positively contributing to each of the major phases of a disaster cycle which are: 1) preparedness, 2) emergency, 3) restoration, 4) recovery, 5) development. In collaboration with relevant fields, this hybridized approach has been tested at various scales and strategies.

TORNADOES CAN OCCUR ANYWHERE HOW CAN OUR CITIES BE BETTER PREPARED? Cities' safety issue is one of the most important issues facing humanity today, due to its high population density and highly centralized properties. Over the years, the frequency and intensity of tornadoes and other such disasters strike more and more cities. Because of this, the United States is paying more attentions to the disaster recovery process. In this new era of unprecedentedly changes of industrialization and urbanization, the role of landscape architecture is now on the edge of transition. For years, people in the design industry strongly believe that landscape architecture has a function of reducing damages from disasters. However, few projects have been implemented or operated on the basis of “prevention� or serving to support a post-disaster strategy. Beyond remnant seeks to practically explore a re-design strategy for tornado-stricken cities by using landscape architecture as an infrastructure to re-frame the urban green system, which means integrating the city's recreation system with an evacuation system to proactively enhance disaster recovery. With the inspiration of 2011 Tornado Super Outbreak, the design tests were applied in the Tuscaloosa and Birmingham area, which all deadly impacted five years ago. In the previous design tests, a set of preparation components was programed applied to the metropolitan area of Birmingham Alabama. Then zoom into the southwest neighborhood, which called Fairfield, to frame the role of landscape architecture and explore the arrangement and management of city green system in emergency rescue stage and following stages, and Aim to explore both of the proactive approach of disaster recovery and reactive arrangement.

PREPAREDNESS
DESIGN INVESTIGATION AT ENSLEY PARK The Ensley Park Recreation Center is a sports complex for the region with existing 30.6 acres surrounded by recognized vacant lands, which is 64.5 acres in all. Instead of designing the Ensley park as an emergency arrangement highly centralized complexity, the park should be designed with the perception of ‘node-nlink’ system and to ensure the day-to-day life criteria for citizens and survivors. The design proposed to encourage the existing ball games on-site and build every facility transformable to perform differently based on different situations.

birs-eye view of the ensley park THE POSITION OF LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE IS NOT ONLY THE "ART OF GARDENING", BUT ALSO THE ‘ART OF SURVIVAL’. While the park is designed certainty, the performances on-site are shifted to adapt different circumstances. All the facilities applied in the park can ensure both of the pleasure needs and emergency needs.

SEED CATALYSTS ROW Installation Design of the Interstate 85 summer 2016 mla | auburn university community outreach Instructor: Valerie Friedman Team member: Hanlu Yu, Sushmitha Sunder Project location: Interstate 85 Tuskeegee Forest
Roads and their right of ways are not only corridors for movement of vehicles, but smaller particles such as seeds as well. The speed of vehicles act as catalysts for dispersal along the linear stretch. The design leverages this speed and the force that comes with it, to inform change. Interstate 85 and its right of way, that passes through the Tuskegee national forest area allows very little ques for drivers to be informed of their presence in a distinct part of a nature preserve. The design works with the opportunity of seed dispersal methods, to create a landscape that mimics that of the internal parts of the Tuskegee forest. Once introduced to the forest material, the overpass at each end the forest limits, acts as a gateway that informs the driver to the access.

Each seed catalyst pod is made with clay that contains seeds of the plants that are found in the Tuskegee forest. Overtime, the clay installation will melt due to the rains. This in turn allows for new landforms. The seeds overtime will germinate and disperse further onto the roads. The speed of the vehicles will push them into unprecedented dimensions, giving rise to novel ecologies.

RE-COLLECTION OF HUTONG Revitalization of the Historical District in Beijing fall 2013 up | bucea urban planning Instructor: Li Feng, Qin Li Team member: Hanlu Yu, Chao Zhang, Ya Cai, Jiamou Sang Project location: Hunan, China
People say that the real culture of Beijing is the culture of the Hutong and Courtyards. They attract more tourists from home and abroad than the high-rise buildings and large mansions. Hutong is a Mongolian word meaning water well. At nine meters (about 30 feet) wide, it is the name given to a lane or small street that originated during the Yuan Dynasty (1271–1368). Now they have become representatives of local culture, thus it is the first choice for people who would like to learn about the local history and culture.

It is always a good idea to make models to test or show a design idea, before deciding on the final design. A physical model can capture the spatiality and sense of a place.
