Re-Tooling Metropolis II:

LA!

GSD 17Fall Site: Los Angelos Port, LA Group Work, team: Jianing Tao, Hui Yuan

Los Angeles has long captured the imaginations of designers and urbanites and theorists for its embodiment of everything characteristic of the twentieth-century metropolis, and for its unrivaled, enigmatic qualities—including sun, surf, lifestyle and surreal conglomerations of single-purpose transportation and utility infrastructure. The Port of Los Angeles encompasses 7,500 acres of land and water along 43 miles of waterfront. The port of LA is beginning a process of transformation, with new builds of water front the port of LA is preparing to become a new visitor attractor spot. This project is looking at potentials of contamination of abandoned industrial terminal and using phyto remediation for soil removing and establishing new research institutes for educational and new investments

SOUTH BOSTON WATERFRONT COMMUNITY GSD 1211core studio 16Fall: Site: South Boston, MA Group Work, team: Ann Serlano, Hui Yuan

South Boston Waterfront Community focus on hydrology and topography as the genesis for a littoral urbanism. It uses landscape both as medium and as mechanism for testing and prototyping ideas on city making. For unpacking topography and speculate on the behaviors of water in relation to terrain. It will be necessary to imagine terrain as a thickness, a medium capable of supporting a range of urban and marine systems through managed saturation and flow. It develops a serious iterations to explore how topography can hold, distribute, and infiltrate water. City fabrics are primarily defined through the organization of buildings and open spaces. While there are many different circumstances that can regulate the grain of an urban fabric, we use density and solar exposure as the two main variables that will regulate the mutual influence of built and open space.

INNOVATIVE CITY Boston Harbor GSD 1408 Site: Boston Harbor Individual Work

The project is about removing Boston original port and bringing Boston Harbor into a new harmonious communities for birds and human beings. With review regulation documentation through different department of Boston City the design will look to the combination of nature and people. My design integrates marsh lands with two existing islands---Thompson Island and Spectacle Island, creating new tidal park at Boston Harbor with recreational bike paths and birds breeding land.

Hyper Birds + Gregarious + Breeding

Sea Birds + Gull + Terns

As a potential international port, Boston port has annual 120,604 import container volumes and 88,098 export container volumes. The new port will bring Boston port forward a larger international port, it will along Deer Island port cities and connect airport to Long Island. The new docklands will serve as new barrier to protect inner harbor and a small one will connect between long island and moon island. Marsh lands will be built along the new docklands and serve as birds islands for migratory birds resting, feeding and breeding of Atlantic Flyways. New marshlands will reshape main channel as a new waterways where new residential communities will develop along the new river.

Through consideration of people activities at Boston Harbor, my concept emphasizes ecological, educational and recreational experience in all-year around. Thompson Island and Spectacle Island will become new landmarks across over the harbor for events happen and Boston city line. There are four different sizes types birds house across large marsh land, protecting and offering isolated breeding lands for migratory birds of Atlantic Flyways.

BROOKLYN NAVY YARD POST-INDUSTRIAL PARK KSA-Ecology & Planning Studio 2014 Fall : Site: Brooklyn Navy Yard, NYC Individual Work The Brooklyn Navy Yard site, which was formerly built ship, also contained heavy industrial areas plagued by polluted brown fields. From the larger city scale to the smaller neighborhood scale all the way to the Site scale, what I find about the potential of Brooklyn Navy Yard is solving the isolated problem with develop the dry dock and vacant field. Because the Navy Yard now act as a “boarder� industry place where the people from proximity community do not want to visit. Navy Yard should be encouraged people to involved in and serve for its own factories as well. This brought me to the idea of defining the territory of where our landscape should go, and how it should act.

Reparation wetland

The project is focus on solving the challenge of embarrassed place created by infrastructure in the city such as highway and rail tracks. Surrounded by highway I-670 and rail tracks, the site is located in the intersection of Olentangy River and Scioto River and facing the challenge of isolating from the downtown commercial area and Victoria Village. The concept of the project is to bring people into the sports fields, in which ramps influence the topo change, at the same time creates new experience under the highway and above the rail tracks. With the ramp, the most isolated place is switched into a popular gathering space combined with sporting programs. The main loop serves as a bike lane and connects sports fields and recreation programs in order to create an interaction with the infrastructures, meanwhile provides residents a dynamic space between their neighborhood and the waterfront.

Located in southwestern China, Yunnan province is characteristic of typical landform of terrace. Yuanyang county was rich with its terrace land and organic soils, however it is isolated with surrounded area because of serial mountains. For mitigating poverty rate of this area, the concept of solar energy community is to develop new energy Ecologica Touirsm

such as solar system combined with local agricultrue in order to improve the whole community income level. At same time, encourageing more people to visit the terrace farm and solar farm in order to create more profits for local people and government.

50 West Bench Custom wooden benches in Plaza 33 at 50 West Street, Manhattan, line the raised planting areas which screen the adjacent parking garage and traffic beyond. There different types bench backs are designed with a continuous incline degree. The Plaza at 50 West Street, covering an area of approximately 5,500 square feet, is a uniquely quiet respite from the bustle of West St. It is both a connector from the west side to historic Lower Manhattan as well as a place to spill out from the adjoining building. A wide ramp encourages pedestrians to make the journey up the five feet additional height required for flood protection. Moveable tables and chairs spill out from the building onto the plaza space enlivening this attractive oasis

VILLIARS ISLAND Works at W-Architecture

Villiers Island holds an important place in the transformation of Toronto’s waterfront and the naturalization of the Don River. Located in the Lower Don Lands, east of Toronto’s downtown, this Precinct Plan will build on and restore the historic Keating Channel and protect the Don Lands from flood risk while revitalizing a former industrial area into a spectacular new neighborhood. Villiers Island will become a special community showcasing a new relationship between the city, the river and the lakefront. It will be a community rich in local amenities and a destination with spectacular parks, cultural, civic and retail amenities. My responsibily was working on variety of street types and parks renderings.

PRAGUE BRIDGE COMPETITION Works at W-Architecture

The face of Prague is made up of arched bridges made of stone, concrete and steel stranded between the banks of the Vltava River. The beauty of the intersection of bridge lines is our inspiration. The design is humiliated in the city’s panorama, low above the horizon, but high enough to offer spectacular views. The seemingly simple shape is a celebration of engineering innovation, thanks to which one continuous arc from Holešovice to Karlín is able to withstand the flood. Two supporting arches converge to the island of Štvanice. The bridge utilizes verified and available materials and construction techniques, and its slenderness is achieved by the latest building engineering options. The footbridge is a determining link that will drive the future growth of Holešovice, Karlín and Štvanice.

The Elusina Lazenby Experimental Forest Memorial Forest

Memorial forest brings the ceremonial setting into woodland space, trying to create a new experience for people that could feel a sense of sublime in a natural environment. A dense maple grove located at the entrance of the pathway, leading people to enter memorial space with rows of trees and trying to provide people with a feeling of formal. The geometry shape wetland cuts across this forest garden which represents the scar of ground, providing people with an opportunity of accessing water. In addition, it creates a natural space that shows a contrast with organized maple grove. The diorama describes the moment of artificial mound which rises above the ground and emphasizes hierarchy of memorial place. Large scale trees are planted on the mound in order to draw the attentions of Lazenby Forest visitors even in a distance. The dense wetland plants enclose the artificial mound to create a sacred atmosphere, and a contrast with less dense trees around. Trying to create a combination of formal and less formal element, the site allows people to experience natural element in the sacred forest. Lazenby Forest visitors can walk under the dense tree canopy or climb on the artificial mound to get the whole view of Lazenby Forest.

OTHER WORKS TRANSLATION AND MODELING KSA-Urbanism Studio 2015 Fall : Group Work: With April Liu

Mark Bradford. 2009 Material: Honeycomb Wire Line Paper Wire-mesh

The idea is from the art piece of Mark Bredford which is a art work with multiple layers. We extract three colors from the drawing into our project model: red, black, and white. We assumed the contours based on the drawing and created new topography. We assumed the light color space has a higher elevation and the dark color has a lower elevation. The curved lines of the drawing is developed as a amphitheater into our project.

We presented the linear space of the drawing with tangling white lines on nails and then spread black and red color on them. The red trees met the edge condition of the landforms and function as a transition zone from the dry area to wet lower area.

The Huerta of Valencia is far more than simply irrigated farmland.The Huerta of Valencia is the best, and almost the last, example in Europe of at hous and-year-old Islamic agricultural landscape, continually cultivated since the 10th century and to this day reliant upon Arab practices of irrigation. For some current challenges of lacking of accessibility, vacant lands transferring into parking lots and the contamination of on-site water channel. As it exist now, the on-site channel network includes many deadend on surface level and contaminant. The design strategies will focus on improving water management on site via drawing existing poor quality water head to serial of treatments wetlands for filtering water, so the water will get a high quality after the process and suitable for agriculture irrigation of potential programs happened on site: hybrid agriculture, farmers market, community garden.
