When I walked along the street, I smelled the scent of flowers moving with wind. I followed the scent approaching its origin; shadow fell in tessellated patterns on my face; fragrance floated around. I stopped to smell and listen, imagined that I was in the mist of the blooms peak and waited for the wind to shower petals on me. Hearing a soft drizzle, I did not realize my clothes and hair were wet by raindrops. Following the sound, I walked out of the shadow of the trees and sunshine spilled on my face. I could feel the warmth spread from the granite pavement to my feet.
I walked along the fine line between the pavement. The pattering of rain became increasingly clear and strong through the dark. I felt the fresh breeze together with raindrops blowing against my face. Staying in the area where water could not dampen my clothes, I listened to droplets continuously slapping on the ground and flowing on the surface. It reminded me of a rainy day, when rainwater trickled from the eaves and mixed with the smell of earth. Flowing water washed the stone surface and dropped into the drainage, it left the petals sticking to the edges of drainages and puddles. The flowers couldn’t stand the weight of water, dropped on my shoulders, wet my clothes and left the scent on them.

I followed the subtle sound of the flow, slowly moving away from the sound of droplets. Sometimes the flow was turbulent, even water splashed on my arm; sometimes the water was chattering; I could see in my mind water running through the pebbles and fish. I sat on the edge, reaching out to the water, cool and shallow; the texture of the bottom of rivelet reminded me of a water wave.

Reshaping Biotic, Abiotic and Cultural Systems Weakness and Oppourtunity
Statement My concept is to reveal the different social contexts that exist on each side of river. I wish to continue the living patterns but allow them to influence my siteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s organization and design. I would like for the social conditions to overlap with each other on the site, such that one can experience both conditions simultaneously. But at the same time I want to make sure
that the new programs meet the needs of the adjacent neighborhoods and larger city. In particular the public spaces will create an opportunity for the overlapping zones to be expressed and experienced by visitors.

Classic French Garden- Visually Dominant
Placing Extraodinary and Quotidian Urban Ritual
People cross through the Tuileries by visual indicators. What I want to do is use non-visual cues
to lead people to discovery the phenomena inside Tuileres. Based on the research about how blind people navigate outside world, I will use constructed indicators and phenomenal cues to build a set of sequences, and build up nodes which are full of sensory phenomena and can indicate people discoveries. People can rest, meditate and create imaginary-visualization at that place.

Placing Extraodinary and Quotidian Urban Ritual Design- Multi-Sensory Garden Opportunities & Constraints: Non- Visual Cues
Based on the analysis, the north and east of Tuileries connect the main traffic, so the north of the park is more noisy with a lot of facilities for children to play, and the south is much more quiet and near the river. The south of the route will combine constructed indicator and sound of water to create more space to let people stay and occupy. The north of the route will use texture, smell and sound as phenomena cues, to create a secret route that might be noticed by blind people and children.

Statement Sculpture is a way to build the ground, investigate tectonic to deal with climate issue, create poetic space to give person different spatial experiences. India Point Park has two potentials. First, the site is surrounded by the highway and hotel. Passersby can easily overlook the whole site at a lot of viewpoints. Second, India Point Park is very near to the river has Water Fire. So my concept is active, let people engage to the water by activating the river edge, create the long zone of urban nature and urban to give people multiple experience, and attract people to come here when they go by.

Shaping and Occupying the Landform System
Drainge Diagram
Landform Landform is part of larger natural system. It can deal with stormwater on the site, and offer living evironment for the habitat.
Operation Cut: Using the earth already cut off to fill the depression zone, in order to prevent the soil washing away I create the wetland view and give the people the experience of going in the wetland by building up the dam which has the hard rock bank on the river side.

Push: I create very obvious high and low points on the ground in order to block people's view when they go into the site. The landform gives visitors different visual and spatial experience during their movement through the space.
Gathering Day Dreaming
Warp: The warped river edge allows people to approach the river. The hook face creates dramatic elevation change, which creates different water features during tide change, and provides space for boat launch. In addition, in order to deal with storm water problem, the pavement on the retaining wall will allow water to go into the earth, instead of flow on to the ground.

Design Strategy Our design strategies is using a continuous waterfront landscape to connect Fen River with Central park river system; creating recognizable waterfront landmark. Emphasizing interaction with surrounding area and underground space; layering the ground to build vertical change, enrich visual experience, spatial experience and urban activity.
