THE CYCLE OF FLOOD

-RELIEVE FLOOD DISASTERS AND SUPPLY GROUNDWATER THROUGH GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE COLLECTING RAINWATER IN BANGKOK The solution was selected to be located in Bangkok, Thailand. The excessive use of groundwater led to serious land subsidence, the altitude of some areas was even lower than sea level, and it was plagued by floods. In the plan, integrate flood control and flood risk reduction into urban greening network system, guided by Stormwater Management, the roof garden, fragmented green space, and streets will be built into a natural ecological Green Infrastructure framework. Utilize the function of water retention purification and seepage of urban green land to supply groundwater through rainwater natural infiltration and purified rainwater reuse and so on, to achieve the effect of promoting the stormwater recycling and the rebound of subsidence ground. A unique plant cultivation facility was designed for the Bangkok slums, and rainwater was collected and used in conjunction with its common slope roof construction.With this kind of macro planning and design method, the resilient landscape of Bangkok will be realized and a better living environment will be achieved.

GREEN RIBBON ON DESERT

-PREVENTION AND CONTROL OF DESERTIFICATION AROUND THE DANG RIVER

The program starts with current water problems and selects Dunhuang City, a historic city in northwestern China, as a target. It considers the phenomenon of typical desertification on the edge of the city and begins to create a flexible desert landscape. As a tourist city, Dunhuang City closely links resources, environment, and society development and presents the contradictions of human survival and development in the context of a fragile ecological environment. The site of the project is located on the banks of the river near the outskirts of Dunhuang City. The dry season is near to a depleted state, the site is flat, the soil is poor, and the surrounding areas are farmland, cities and deserts. There is an extreme imbalance between water supply and utilization. The design integrates ecological restoration and urban landscape planning. Site treatment fully respects nature itself. The restoration of vegetation is used as the main line to achieve the protection, concentration, and recycling of water in a water-deficient environment. The plan also tapped Dunhuang City’s renewable energy (wind energy resources, light and heat resources) to transform its negative effects brought by urbanization to provide economic benefits. In addition, Dunhuang Culture was introduced in the program and responded to the “Belt and Road” proposed in the 21st century.

REMODELING-RENOVATION OF E-WASTE DUMP Over the past few years, the volume of global E-waste has risen alarmingly. Agbogbloshie is the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second-largest electronic dump, where children and adults sort out valuable parts in exchange for money. Last year, however, unreasonable recycling technology caused water and soil contamination, while low recovery exacerbated the problem of economic backwardness. Although the Ghanaian government has taken a series of measures to try to solve the problem, these measures are opposed because they are too tough. We will use the site as an example to explore a resilient solution strategy to repair the contaminated environment, and increase the resistance of the landscape to adverse factors by changing the way the local people interact with nature.

TRANSITIONS

URBAN. RURAL. NATURAL

Long Valley is one of the few pieces of land which remains most of its natural appearance in a well-developed city like Hong Kong. Unfortunately, the high ecological valued wetlands are now disappearing due to lack of groundwater supply brought by the channelization work of its surrounding rivers (Sheung Yue River, Shek Sheung River and Ng Tung River). In addition, the government is planning to develop its surrounding area (Kwu Tong North New Town), this may result in a further loss on the precious natural and cultural assets. Therefore, my design concept is to naturalize the rivers in Long Valley and transform Long Valley into an excellent transition of urban, rural and natural area which makes good use of water as well as enhancing the wildlife habitats. In my design, I would like to divide Long Valley into several islands based on their landscape sensitivity and allow river water to pass through them. With the naturalization of rivers, the absorption, infiltration and purification of rainwater is facilitated, recharging the groundwater supply and thus promoting the local agricultural practice. The enlargement of river sections, creation of retention ponds and design of natural slopes increases the storage of rainwater during heavy rainstorm, alleviating the flooding issue. A variety of programs including Long Valley Nature Park, Eco-tourism, Modern Farm and Traditional Farm, Eco-village and Riverfront Parks are proposed, fulfilling the needs and aspirations of the present and future generations.

The core of history, art and culture takes advantage of the industrial heritage of the past to be rediscovered as a cultural and artistic space. The design will establish a historical space to promote the use and restoration of modern industrialization to support the local economy and local artists. Furthermore, the center will serve as a cultural and artistic space for the region.

A natural seawall will be constructed along with the restoration of mudflats to cope with rising sea levels caused by massive coastal development. The coastal areas of nature will be restored to a state as seen before development projects consumed the area. A co-existence between human beings and the natural ecosystem will be created.

The old shipyards will be transformed into an experiential space. The building uses materials that can be obtained from shipyard waste and embodies the design of a traditional shipyard, making it a cultural space where visitors can have fun. Furthermore, by creating water-friendly spaces such as a waterfront, it is expected that the space will be revitalized as a maritime leisure sports hub along the west coast.

Coastal Development

Ha l

We remember the story of the shipyard being born and present and rediscover new values by analogy with the process. The days of forcing only natural sacrifice are gone. We understand nature and pursue a harmonious life. This project is also one that holds potential to be a solution for responding to climate change and restoring mudflats where ecosystems can then recover. As the demand for ships declined, the deindustrialization of shipbuilding was carried out, and the once booming shipbuilding industry was waning. As a result, the area where the shipyard was located was hit by the deteriorating economy and environmental problems. Because the sea level rises gradually with climate change, there was an increase in coastal development, causing environmental problems. As reclaimed land is a vulnerable environment to climate change, focusing its re-design should be based on productive conservation. We envision a future where we can restore our harmony with nature, which has been damaged by reckless development due to urbanization, and the negative impacts of human existence. Our goal is to create a floating space in time for rising sea levels and changing environmental issues of reclaimed land. The restored mudflats will bring back the ecological cycles that once existed, as we seek to find ways for humans to utilize resources without harming nature. While proposing the restoration technology, the resulting timeline is also shown. It will create a space with great potential to adapt flexibly to changing situations and environments.

THE BREATHING WALL The emperors from the Han Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty built over 300 kilometers of the Great Wall, which is a precious cultural relic. Current Problems: The burning of the Great Wall in Datong for hundreds of years led to ecological deterioration, serious soil erosion, and exacerbated the erosion of the Great Wall by wind and sand.The Great Wall was destroyed seriously due to weak protection. Because of agriculture and animal husbandry in the recession, the living standards of the residents around the Great Wall decreased, and the population was seriously drained. The Great Wall was increasingly separated from peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lives and gradually forgotten and neglected. The protection of the Great Wall is a matter of no delay. Key features and innovations: Giving the Great Wall a New Identity and New Value in Response to Contemporary Society. 1.Analyze and classify the Great Wall by high technology.Make full use of coal mining waste to renovate gullies around the Great Wall. 2.Reconstruct the ecosystem around the Great Wall by soil and water conservation and plant restoration strategies, form landscapes, create benefits, and increase community attention to the Great Wall. 3.Without relying entirely on the government, adopting personal responsibility to protect the Great Wall and gaining privilege, to obtain economic benefits and return it to the Great Wall Protection.

RETURN TO XANADU The plot selected for this design is Zhouqu county in Gansu, China. Debris flow in this area is a serious disaster and is a frequent occurrence area of mudslides in China. Our goal is to repair the area after the disaster and to prevent and control the debris flow disaster. According to previous research, this area belongs to the alpine valley. This is one of the main reasons why the area is often disturbed by mudslides. Therefore, we focused on the reconstruction of the mountain to complete the management and prevention of debris flows. The main measures are divided into two phases. One is the emergency prevention measures for the sudden mudslide disaster, and the other is the gradual establishment of buffer zone to prevent mudslides and the other measure to realize the long-term treatment of mudslides. Our design strictly adheres to our understanding of the elastic landscape, and it can be resisted when the natural disaster arrives and can be done better than before. Therefore, our design can achieve the dual purpose of managing mudslide problems and improving the local natural landscape. After the improvement, it also brought new developments to the economy of the local economy. As the title says, Return to Xanadu,it is a beautiful landscape and new economic development provide local residents with life experiences in a fairyland.

REDEMPTION OF SHRINKING CITY

:URBAN RESILIENCE BASED ON THREE-DIMENSIONAL GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE

Many cities in China face the challenge that urban expansion and shrinkage coexist, which also have threats of population loss, vacant properties emergence, along with inadequate urban infrastructure. Ordos, located in southwest of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region of China, is a typical case, that economic growth suffered from prosperity to decline owing to single economic source of coal mine. It has experienced severe city shrinkage, and also faces serious sandstorm and dust, and water resource problems with declining groundwater level. The design creates the three-dimensional(3D) Green Infrastructure(GI) to help city return to sustainable development track, meanwhile realize ecological and social resilience. The construction of 3D GI with a system of corehub-link is relying on identifying available vacant properties and existing green space to propose grading principles and strategies. The core formed by public green space has three grades: protection, buffer, and potential zone, which is determined by ecological assessment. The hub based on vacant high-rise, vacant land in shanty towns, and community green space, has three categories: vertical, surficial and island, which is determined by service radius of core and vacant properties potentiality. The link system combined with river, vertical greening, greenway, and temporary structures, consists of three ways: river, vertical and surficial, which is determined by ecological analysis and ENVImet simulation study on street types. Taking Dongsheng District in Ordos as an example, the 3D GI system construction combined with local conditions is proposed to achieve resilience relationship between society and nature in this region.

ELASTIC VILLAGE

-MODULARIZED RURAL ECOLOGICAL INFRASTRUCTURE RECONSTRUCTION

The theme of this design is “RESILIENT LANDSCAPE”, Resilient is defined as “the ability of ecosystems to endure disruptions without crashing,” and is the ability of humans and ecosystems to be empowered to self-recover and adapt to the future. By combining the ability to endure intrusions, inconspicuous but meaningful changes, that is to say, through the optimization and upgrading of rural ecological infrastructure, the current mode of extensive management of agriculture that relies on resource consumption will be transformed into ecological composite three-dimensional agriculture, creating a development model of production, life, and ecology. After GIS analysis of the nature of the current site and ecological sensitivity, the site is divided into areas for development and utilization and ecological protection. And The developable areas will be re-planned into farmland, forest land, water bodies, and communities. At the same time, space accessibility is calculated based on space syntax, and starting from the flexible countryside, ecological cycle planning is conducted for rural industries to find the driving force for sustainable development. On the basis of previous analysis, guided by production, life, ecology and landscape, for land of different nature and accessibility, we will optimize and upgrade the infrastructure, improve the quality of rural life, and improve the rural ecological environment. The difference between urban and rural income and quality of life is the main factor that determines the migration of rural labor force, therefore, in the design, we will increase the number of blue-green infrastructures such as production and living infrastructure and ecology and landscape.

City.Lab aims to transform the current plot of greenfield into a biomass and waste research facility as part of Medini master plan. The site is situated in Johor and is surrounded by key features such as Educity, Legoland and Pinewood Iskandar Malaysia. The research facility is a small scale township that operates with the components of commercial lots, residential for both researchers and public with well connected blue and green spaces. Malaysia generates 33,000 tonnes of solid waste daily with majority of it from household and mostly treated through non-sanitary landfill. As Johor’s population is projected to grow from current 3.65 million to 5 million across 15 years, the immense amount of waste could be the precious resource for the research facility. The ambition of City.Lab is to reduce carbon emission (Malaysia LowCarbon City Framework) through the provision of interconnected public transport system and curating environmental conditions which encourages walking, cycling and prolong dwelling in exterior spaces.

THE DESIGN OF RIVER RESILIENT LANDSCAPE IN URBAN FRINGE AREA The design of river resilient landscape in urban fringe area: As a typical developing country, China inevitably faces the challenge of the erosion of the natural ecological environment by urban expansion. The urban fringe area where nature and cities collide with one another is the most profound manifestation of this contradiction. The Shahe River is an important river that flows from the natural mountainous area of northwestern Beijing into the city and flows mainly through the urban edge of Beijing. The complex nature of the land around the river, the complex social structure, and the expansion of the city, together with the discharge of sewage, threaten the health of the river. We designed to first ensure that the riverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most basic ecological bottom line, and then gradually extend the river as the main thread of the green context, and eventually grow into a greenway system of the entire region. We hope that the beautiful natural river environment will no longer be a victim of urban development, but an organic open space for common development and integration with the city.market can be reborn and become a place for people to exchange and communicate with each other, and can effectively carry on the memory of the city.

FANTASY OF GREENWAVE

DESIGN FLOOD BY RESHAPE THE EARTH

The project is located in Huyanghe City, Xinjiang, China. Due to nature and human factors, salinizaÂtion is the most prominent problem, which leads to a series of ecological and environmental problems such as the decline of agricultural production and the destruction of precious Populus euphratica forest. This program, through the replanning of the local water system, makes full use of the seasonal flood caused by melting water in summer, washes the surface, and deals with the problem of salinizaÂtion. The district is divided into four parts: farmland, wetland, Populus euphratica forest and construction area,meanwhile,there are four strategies. strategy!: in the farmland area, dissolving and removing saline and alkaline with water and plants. Based on the analysis of the catchment, rainfall, and surface runoff, combined with the texture of the current farmland ,concept from the folding of the desert dunes, the surface texture of the farmland is recreated. The foldings guide water flow, wash saline and alkaline. Strategy2: in the wetland area, after salt washing, the run off will be discharged into the wetland to be purified to save fresh water resources. Strategy3: in the populus euphratica forest area ,redesigning the surface and terrain,leading the flood from up stream to sweep the salt water in summer. Strategy4: After the ecological restoration of the site, the base resists better the interference and destruction caused by urban development and human activities. Different crops are planted in a group. Each group has a wetland to purify irrigation water and eventually forms a stable ecosystem.

SITE ANALYSIS

Fish breeding

Dry Season

The site is located in the North China Plain with inadequate precipitation. In recent years, the local government has carried out large-scale afforestation to improve ecological environment. On the basis of insufficient carrying capacity of water resources, the increasing water consumption of woodland has surpassed other areas of water consumption, becoming the main reason for local water shortage. So many trees failed to improve the ecological environment, but made it lose resilience. Despite water shortage, there is still lots of rainfall during the wet season every year. However, because of the fragmentation of green space pattern and the single plant level of woodland patches, the green space can not store these rainwater resources to ease the water shortage. As the main part of the green space, the local woodland is not only the water consumption factor, but also the water storage factor. Therefore, the project takes the woodland as the carrier, optimizing the woodland pattern, enriching the plant level of woodland patches, to improve its rainwater storage capacity, reduce the water withdrawal and improve the resilience of the ecological environment. In addition, the project also includes the transformation of ponds, farmland and other green spaces in the site, and watersaving communities design. The innovation of this program is to put water-resource trend and local ecological problem in a comprehensive consideration, and put forward a water-greenland ecological coordinated planning within the range of water carrying capacity.

ODE TO THE FRONTIER RESILIENT LANDSCAPE IN RESPONSE TO THE DESERT CLIMATE

Zhangye city, Gansu province, China is in the desert region of the northwestern China .Because of the climate of desert area, Zhangye city is in area with harsh natural environment. The oasis in the desert is the basis for peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s survival. However as people unreasonably reclaimed land and irrational methods of water use ,natural conditions became more and more harsh. It was threatened by desert migration and land salinization at any time. Eventually it led young laborers to leave here and go to urban city. Because of this, Zhangye city faced the problem of aging. What we should do is making measure to deal with extreme climates and resilience mechanism of recovery measure. Also we should take action to adjust the distribution of local water resource. Great natural environment will attract more local people and strangers come here and guard the desert oasis. Use 16 strategies to propose three-tier measures : 1. Establish a defense layer and use artificial defense measures to protect vulnerable oasis. 2. Establish a buffer layer and use plants to measure regional dust storms and wetland ecosystems to conserve water resources and handle land salinization. 3. New ecosystem formation when the buffer layers on both sides fuse. Different strategies have different capabilities for resisting disasters and recovering, overlapping and transform each other. The point for the design is to rejuvenate the local agricultural economy by improving the ecology and enhancing the response and recovery capabilities for extreme climates.

THE FOOD CAPSULE A PRODUCTIVE LANDSCAPE PLANNING FIGHT WITH FOOD CRISIS IN YEMEN

Almost all countries in the world are suffering from food crises. Yemen is particularly serious in the Middle East. As one of the Arab cultural circles, Yemen has frequent national wars, declined society, extreme climate, and insufficient fresh water, all people have been indulging in Carter. All of the above has seriously affected the normal operation of the entire country. Program Design: The design project is based on the background of Yemen and selects the bay areaâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the crater of Aden to use the resilient operation of productive landscape as a means to solve the food crisis and social problems. By summarizing and induction, it proposes social resilience, production resilience, and ecological resilience to vertical interpretation. The vertical functional logic framework mainly uses the cultivation of wheat, corn, potato, and sorghum as the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s production capsules to form a production unit to meet the extreme hunger children in the region to supplement the lack of energy. Theme Features: Social resilience, production resilience and ecological resilience complement each other and overlay the function, Social resilience satisfies the use within the region, provides outdoor venues for livelihood and recreational activities. Production resilience as vertical planting of crops, maximizes the use of space for food supply, and multiple planting to improve the stability of species relationships among all crops. Ecological resilience creates local micro-climates, improves the environment, complements productive landscapes, and operates together to ensure ecological security.

PREFUTURE

THE REUSE PLAN OF WASTEWATERPOND IN YAZD,IRAN

The project is located in the city of Yazd, Iran, where there is basically no surface runoff and lacking of water resources. The qanat restricts the direction of urban expansion and the problem of water rights. With the continuous expansion of the city, water resources have been unreasonably exploited, which has caused seriously damage of the qanat, land subsidence and casual discharge of urban waste water pond. The project analyses the present situation of the city, and predicts that the qanat will be destroyed in a wider range and the area of the wastewater pond will be enlarged in the future. On the basis of this, the plan will protect and strengthen the qanat, process and reuse waste water pond and then improve the ecological environment around the wastewater pond. The processed wastewater can alleviate the problem water shortage and water rights disputes. Some of the processed wastewater are used to serve agriculture around its surrounding area. Taking advantage of the industry development to give more employ-ment opportunities in society, we can weaken the social contradictions. From a long-term perspective, ecological strategy is the foundation and key to ease social contradictions and increase social welfare. The development of ecology is conducive to the alleviation of social problems and the weakening of social contradictions is more conducive to the further development of ecosystem. Ecological strategies and social strategies complement each other and form a virtuous circle.

Design Response to Conflict in the Public Realm

Public open space belongs to everyone and no one at once. It is made and re-made to serve the complex human needs. It is also to provide the ground for people engaging in public discourse. How to build a public environment that is resilient to all manners of human actions? This project aims to give a design response to the dynamics and outcomes of human conflict in the built environment by studying protests in London. The examination of the protest history in London suggest that the social awareness and policy change led by protests are related to the number of people participated rather than the proportion of people died or injured. Therefore, the design proposal is based on the following positions: public engagement and ways of expression should be supported; public environment should be protected; damage and violent behaviors should be mitigated. The core of the strategies resides in human-human relationship and human-environment relationship. By studying the confrontational pattern between protesters and the enforcement, and researches about environmental psychology, design proposals are made: large areas of hard paving and small scale green spaces will take the place of the great lawn; behavior mitigators such as mist emitters and reflective surfaces on structures will be implemented. Besides, a water system is proposed to address the site’s ecological resiliency given that the site resides in London’s flood zoon. Overall, the proposal will holistically improve the site’s function and resiliency, and hopefully give inspiration for relevant studies.

Spatially, most of the protests happened in London's city center. Among the protestors’ favorite sites, three became a focus of analysis for this project. These sites are either adjacent to the traffic hubs, near tourist attractions, or beside the government offices. Those elements make the sites busy and crowded, becoming ideal places for people to engage in public discourse. Of the three, Parliament Square has a moderate degree of development, and its potential for future intervention is relatively high.

Sit in 1978 The Anti-Nazi League Rally 2001 May Day Protest 2003 Stop the War 2011 March for the Alternative

As an historic site, Parliament Square has gone through major change three times, in 1804, 1868 and 1950. The traffic flow and pedestrian access have been much improved by sharing the traffic burden on one intersection to other three. And it now is surrounded by a number of famous tourist attractions, including Big Ben and Houses of Parliament to its east, and Westminster Abbey to its south. Through past public action happened here, more resilience for the site to protect itself from severe damage, and mitigation to protestors’ behavior is in need.

Based on current site condition, a number of interventions are proposed. By moving the west edge of the square, previously separated two parts of Parliament Square will become a whole, without interfering its traffic pattern. Considering views on site towards the tourist attractions, an open area should be kept from any visual obstacles. Then taking the view of passengers from all directions into consideration, reference lines for site structures formed. Overall, the square will be composed of three parts, each achieves different functionality.

Those installations also provide multiple recreational activities in daily life. After the intervention, the crowd would be more likely to occur around the installations in typical days. While in the protests, the open area will become protester’s major gathering space. On the western part of the square, the platform created by the slight slope would serve protesters public speech or performance. But if protests become violent in this area, mist emitters will disperse the crowd, protecting the trees and statues from severe damage. The water of the mist emitters will be collected and reused through the system. Parliament Square’s flooding issue will also be mitigated by this system.

Overall, using protest as a research point, this proposal will holistically reform the function and resiliency of Parliament Square, and hopefully provide some support and inspiration for future study.

Canine Unit London, locating in the south-east of the United Kingdom, is the political, economic and cultural center of the country. It is an important world-tourism destination. More than 8 million people speaking 300 languages live in this globalized metropolis. The complexity of its context inevitably leads to contradictions of different ideologies.

To make the site more resilient to damages caused by protests, large areas of hard paving and some small-scale green spaces will take the place of the great lawn; behavior mitigators based on environmental psychology researches will be adopted. For example, mist emitters can be used for blurring the view, and reflective surfaces on structures can be implemented so people seeing themselves psychologically become calmer on their behavior.

As a means of self-expression, innumerable protests have happened in London’s history. Issues touch all aspects of social life. In those scenes of conflict, protesters used as many varieties of tactics as possible to make their voices heard, from those more peaceful to others more violent. Metropolitan police also have adopted different strategies in the name of maintaining order and security, though the justification for some enforcement measures is controversial.

Oxford Circus 7:20pm

An examination of the protest history in London suggests that it was neither the severity of damage caused, nor the proportion of people died or injured that makes the protest resultful. Most of the protests that are influential enough to be recorded are the biggest ones that occurred after the 1960s. What really leads to the social awareness and policy change is the scale of the protests—the number of people participated. From the perspective of human rights, it is still a story about protecting the interests of the majority.

THE RESILIENT SYSTEM

A LANDSCAPE APPROACH TO REVIVE POST-INDUSTRIAL WATERFRONTS

Chongqing is a city born of water. However, with the interference of water-level-fluctuating zoneand the reduction of waterfront space brought by urban expansion, Chongqing waterfront space is facing a series of serious problems of ecological fragility, cultural disappearance and reduction of activity.Based on a series of resilient design strategies, we aim to build up a flexible, dynamic, and sustainable space that not only solve the flooding and vacancy problems but also provide an open public space for the whole city to memorize the history and be aware of the unique environment that we should cherish. Two features of the site we selected are the abandoned industrial structures and the water-level-fluctuating zone. Therefore, a resilient system that deals with all the issues and meets the requirement is essential to the projects. We conclude the strategies in those five main aspects: land restoration as soil resilience, stormwater management as water resilience, functional planting as planting resilience, flexible programs as program resilience, and sustainability and transitionality as cultural resilience.

REBIRTH OF GREENWAY

Through the construction of open space, green corridor connectivity and historical relics protection three technical routes, building a green corridor as one of the Beijing city green system part, forming a coherent green system for the surrounding residents and tourists to provide more convenient transportation and ecological landscape. At the same time, enhance the openness and landscape effects of Beijing Zoo and Zizhuyuan park. Blue-green complex will have different nature and function of the architectural space and city space form, with the introduction of urban public space is organized, according to certain value relations, formed by the unified planning, unified development management comprehensive building or buildings. Green synthesis in a more positive attitude to deal with major urban green space, will be open as a whole, integrated into the city and the surrounding features, in order to effectively solve the large green space of the contradiction between the visual image and function to play. Blue green complex represents the urban green space from passive control to emphasize the comprehensive diversified development for ecological concept of change from a single green concepts to the transition of the urban function system thinking, is a major urban green space development model of optional.

WATER AND FIRE IN PEATLANDS

Indonesia has been suffering a series of problems caused by the expansion and monoculture of the oil palm. The traditional slash-and-burn farming practice used in oil palm plantation has severely damaged natural peatlands, causing frequent fires and floods. Meanwhile, the oil palm monoculture made the economy and society vulnerable. The site is in Dumai, Riau, the mid-eastern part of Sumatra, Indonesia. Fires caused by the slashand-burn and floods caused by the destruction of the peatland are its major problems. We seek to find a resilient landscape strategy to increase the city’s resistivity and adaptability to natural disasters and socio-economic changes over time. Our plan is to build two types of dams to block the existing drainage canals. Dams are made of materials on the site into different heights. During the rainy season, some floodwaters will be stored for the fire control in the dry season and agricultural irrigation all year round, the rest will be diverted into the destroyed peatland for ecological restoration. While in the process of restoration, through the intervention of productive landscape strategies, the spatial structure of Dumai will be rebuilt in the mode of “city – plantation - agroforestry system - peatland and forest”, which will lead to a sustainable economic system. As a result, the plan provides a resilient development mode to protect the city from natural disasters, restore the ecology and meet the socio-economic changes.

MISCONCEPTION AND REBIRTH OF EUCALYPTUS This design depicts a more resilient evolution of eucalyptus plantations and provides a design idea for other regions facing similar threats. The eucalyptus, the contradiction that brings people money and worries, has finally attracted attention in China after decades of development.As a response to a series of ecological, economic and social issues that monoculture of eucalyptus may cause, we envisage that the use of soil restoration techniques, ecological planting techniques, and appropriate policy controls will allow monoculture-plantations to evolve toward a resilient, dynamically evolving system. Fragments and debris of trees are reused to help newly sprouted plants maintain fertility and provide important organic material for degraded soil. A variety of arbors, shrubs and herbs will be introduced to increase diversity of species. Livestock husbandry cooperates with the planting industry to form a circular ecology with complementary advantages. The local government issues corresponding control measures to ensure that the interests of local farmers are not lost, and promote the Eucalyptus forest reconstruction project. These measures will enhance the resilience of the entire eucalyptus forest on the basis of ensuring economic profit. The project is developing towards a resilient, dynamically evolving system that satisfies the mission of eucalyptus plantations. It is to understand eucalyptus forests as a collection of ecological, economic and social factors rather than a simple collection of trees.Eucalypt forests respond and restore stability quickly in the face of changes in theeconomic environment or changes in the ecological conditions, and eventually become a system that has long-term high resilience in the face of any change.

THE FETAL MOVEMENT OF THE EARTH EARTHQUAKE-RESISTANT LANDSCAPE CONSTRUCTION IN CHEFCHAOUEN, MOROCCO

We named our work “The fetal movement of the Earth”, inspired by the idea of resilience to earthquakes. Our main design is around a beautiful blue town Chefchaouen, which would possibly be hit by earthquakes. In our work, we designed the artificial seismic zone and natural buffer zone in aboveground part, while the triangle network in underground part, hoping to protect this beautiful paradise on the earth. Background:Chefchaouen is a city located in northwest Morocco, which is close to the important northern cities of Morocco, Tangier and Tetouan. Chefchaouen is surrounded by mountains with the advantage of the pleasant natural scenery. It’s an earthquake-prone area because its location is on the Mediterranean seismic zone. Feature: We associate landscape design with multidisciplinary fields such as physics and materials science, which is a good expression of the resilient landscape theme of “change due to earthquakes”. We adopted modern techniques such as damper and magnetic levitation system for energy reduction. Besides, we used polystyrene and flame retardants as materials for seismic landscapes. While paying attention to earthquake resistance, we also hope that we can embody humane care and the spirit of place, allowing this small city full of historical culture but with poor infrastructure to be permanently protected as a pure land of the earth. Innovation: We designed the landscape about before earthquakes, during earthquakes and after earthquakes in order to adapt to different changes. We analyze the seismic system and its energy reduction accurately to ensure its implementability.

FLUID WISDOM

RESILIENT ECOLOGICAL NETWORK FOR SHALLOW MOUNTAIN ZONE

The earth is facing various types of soil erosion, causing ecological damage and lack of elasticity. Due to steep terrain, poor soil, sparse vegetation, endless quarrying and other improper human activities, coupled with uneven spatial and temporal distribution of rainfall and transient fluidity, there are severe challenges of soil erosion, environmental safety crisis, and ecological fragmentation in the shallow mountain area of Taihang Mountains. This project takes Shijiazhuang Luquan mountain area as an example to explore the design of resilient restoration. The strong surface runoff in the rainy season is the direct cause of this phenomenon in this region. After analyzing the law of soil erosion, a series of basic points were selected from the main scour routes to construct ecological patches. Both the construction of the patch and the formation of the corridors utilize the dual resources of rainwater runoff, and finally we build a pre-shank elastic ecological network in which water and soil stability, self-regulation, self-adaptation, and biodiversity have all been improved. In the early stage of construction, human intervention is the main means to guide natural forces. As time progressing, nature gradually becomes the main force for the evolution of ecological networks. In the process of evolving towards the advanced network, it gradually exports to the outside world and benefits the surrounding areas, driving the improvement of the ecology, economy, landscape-quality, and peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lives. An elastic and sustainable ecological network has thus formed and developed.

RECALLING THE BEAUTY OF THE TERRACES

A NEW AGRICULTURAL REVOLUTION FOR FUTURE The Industrial Revolution changed the climate and lifestyle of human race. Extreme climate changes affect Taiwanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s island-type climate; strong rainfalls cause significant damage to life and property, while rural area, having the ability to regulate rain floods, are faced with issues such as aging population and abandoned farms. In the planning, Bai Shih Lake Village, located in the upstream of the Dagou Creek, was once a village surrounded by terraced fields, now faced with aging crisis; Neihu downtown area, located downstream, is overwhelmed by floods over the years. Therefore, to find a new solution for human and nature to live together, we plan the rural area as an organic Detention System based on Disaster Risk Reduction and re-establish the texture of the terraced fields in the past. The improvement of agricultural environment and the recovery of rural values not only benefits tourism and education in the short term, but also passes on agricultural wisdom about living together with nature in the long term, attracting people to go back to rural area. To execute the planning, we propose 7 application models to reach the goal, including Terraces form Agri-detention Basin, Senior Farm, Nostalgic Rice Fieldâ&#x20AC;Śetc, with the attempt to establish a resilient landscape which focuses on sustainable agricultural environment.

BETWEEN UPS AND DOWNS

DESIGN FOR RESIDENTS OF TONLE SAP LAKE

The base is located at the junction of Siem Reap and Tonle Sap Lake in Siem Reap, Cambodia, along the estuary of the Siem Reap River to the shore of Tonle Sap. Tonle Sap is the largest lake in Southeast Asia, and the natural reservoir of the Mekong. In recent years, due to the rapid growth of the floating village population, the ecological environment of the Tonle Sap Lake has begun to deteriorate, water storage capacity has decreased, fish resources have declined, and species around the lake have also rapidly decreased. At the same time as the economic development is relatively backward, 50% of the residents of Tonle Sap live below the poverty line. The solution is to use a local water-resistant material to design a 3*3*3m framework that can be combined into different use spaces according to the needs and provide different ways for people to use between ups and downs. The core of the project is to resolve the 13m water level difference along the coast, develop the tourism industry to increase the residentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; income at the same time, form a benign ecological cycle and economic cycle.

A Balanced Developmental City “A Balanced Developmental City” is an attempt to solve the ecological, social and economic issues of the Resilient landscape infrastructure in the context of rapid urbanization. By analyzing the process of global urbanization, we select Delhi, the capital city of India, as the representative to try to solve the pollution of the Yamuna Rive brought about by rapid urbanization, the disparity between the rich and the poor and the infrastructure caused by the unbalanced development of New Delhi and Old Delhi. This will create a resilient city and demonstrate the potential of landscape infrastructure to solve ecological, social, and economic problems. The program proposes a theoretical framework of resilient landscape infrastructure, which is based on “module, network and dimension”. Through carrying out ecological restoration of rivers at different stages, building flexible neighborhoods, and creating different types of agricultural development models adapting to the development of New Delhi and Old Delhi, we reconstruct the module composition of the landscape infrastructure in Delhi. These modules interact spatially forming the elastic landscape infrastructure network, which places greater emphasis on functional connections, while at the same time they implement specific elastic requirements through the superposition of functions. Finally, through the space of landscape infrastructure, it provides a platform for all dimensions, which facilitates the coordinated development of complex ecological, social and economic issues.

DRIFTING FERTILE LAND

The site of the project is Tonle Sap Lake in Cambodia which is the largest freshwater lake in the southeast Asia and the highest provided to a nation by a single ecosystem around the world. Mekong River and the lake have a natural resilience relationship. During the dry season, the lake supplies the Mekong River and the opposite in rainy season. Due to the construction of the upstream hydropower station on Mekong River, the water flow status changed, resulting in the local sediment deposition in the Tonle Sap Lake. The overall sediment nutrient content is also reduced, which leads to the obstruction of fish migration and flood plain. Tonle Sap also has nurtured Vietnamese refugees who could not land for generations. Those refugees and Cambodian residents directly dump domestic garbage in Tonle Sap Lake, resulting in serious eutrophication of the lake. The fish resources have fallen sharply and the ecosystem is in a vicious cycle. Our design uses sediment as an entry point and utilizes the cyclic characteristics of seasonal water flow to design ecological modules that can be used to collect and utilize sediment while drifting along the water stream. Through the selection of plants, it can form habitats while purifying water quality. And the water flow seasonally to the settlements and refugee points, bring them industry energy and crops. Hope that the intervention of landscape can ease the tension between man and nature, and drive the surrounding cities sustainable.

AMPHIBIOUS LIFE

Located at the entrance of the Nanjing section of the Yangtze River, San Shan is a monument with a long history. Problems: The illegal sand extraction causes following problems:(1) Simplification of the industry(2) Difficulty of government taxation (3) The health of workers and the lives of the local residents are affected (4) Sanshan historical sites are gradually destroyed (5) Flood, drowning and other security risks. (6) The ecological environment has been severely damaged Main Features: In view of this, the government gets to the root of the problem and decides to close the factories, but this move will put the workers out of work and affect social stability. To address this issue, we consider the ecological, cultural, and social aspects comprehensively. Therefore, we propose a diversified solution to give the site more functions, so that it can adapt to the changes in urbanization and the natural environment. Specifically, we redesign the site, which will hopefully restore the ecological environment of the site and revive its culture and function. Innovation Points: 1. Establish a levee. While blocking floods, it can also use floodwater to provide assistance for the periodical ecological restoration of the site, which reflects the flexibility of the site to deal with natural disasters. 2.Establish ecological fish ponds. This measure can help solve the employment problems of workers, as well as gradually improve the fragmented ecological environment caused by excessive sand extraction.

WAITING FOR FLOOD ADAPTIVE RURAL COMMUNITY DESIGN IN QINGSHUI RIVER BASIN,GUIZHOU

The number of mountainous cities and towns in China accounts for more than half of the total number of towns in the country as a basic unit for responding to multiple disasters, the villages are located in the rural areas of the mountainous waterfront where floods occur frequently. How can we turn crisis into opportunities and achieve sustainable development? The competition selected the villages in the middle and lower reaches of the Qingshui River Basin in Guizhou Province with frequent flood problems, complex topography, and natural habitat sensitivity. The theme was “WAITING FOR FLOOD-Adaptive Rural Community Design in Qingshui River Basin,Guizhou”. From the idea of from ‘face’ to ‘line’ to ‘point’, a floating settlement system in line with the Qingshui River Basin was constructed to form a settlement linkage system that responded to flood disasters. By means of floating measures, the negative impact of floods will be weakened and transformed into a characteristic living landscape that co-exists with the flood. The floating construction, agricultural and production modules of the Miao Village will be realized, which will in turn drive the local economic development. The traditional rural settlement will be transformed from resisting floods to utilizing floods, eventually forming a flood-compatible rural settlement with traditional Miao characteristics, and promoting the overall development of resilient settlements in mountainous areas in China.

GROWING SHALLOWS THE ECOLOGICAL RESTORATION PROJECT OF SAND MINING AREA IN MEKONG DELTA, VIETNAM

The site named Trà Vinh is located in Trà Vinh province , Vietnam .This city is next to the Mekong River in Mekong delta .The city is densely covered with rivers and paddy fields. The continuous expansion of the city has increased the demand for river sand. The city erected, but people who live near the river lost their home . This bad phenomenon is being staged in Trà Vinh. Sand mining creates a lot of sandpits to the rivers. These sandpits affect the life of the local residents, causing the collapse of houses and the destruction of rice fields nearby the riverbank. Sand mining also pollutes rivers, erodes riverbeds and kills river fish and plants. In order to solve the above problems, we propose the following conceptual solutions. Destruction of water flow rate in rivers using construction waste. Then, the sandpits form biological habitats. A series of degradable irregular shaped dams are designed around the sandpits near the banks to intercept sediments in the river and accumulate over time to form shallows. Shallows can restore mangrove wetlands. We suggest planting high-value mangroves to replace traditional mangroves. Reshaping the river bank ecological balance. As the river bottom and bank environment will been improved, the residents’ income sources have changed from the original sand mining, breeding and planting to the tourism economy, planting high-value economic species, and breeding. Residents’ livelihood will be moving in a more ecological direction.

EYE OF THE STORM

A RESILIENT SCHEME TO DEAL WITH THE EROSION AND FLOODING SITUATION IN WEST BENGAL STATE OF INDI

The site is located in the south of West Bengal State of India and is the westernmost point of the Ganges Delta. West Bengal is a religious resort with very high population density where its core area Sagar island is a famous Hindu pilgrimage center. And there are pilgrimages on the coast every year. However, due to climate change and agricultural development, sea level rises and mangroves are destroyed, islands and coasts are at risk of being eroded. There is an inevitable contradiction between the land area reduction and population growth. Recently, storms occur in the coastal areas more and more frequently, which have caused huge economic losses especially in these years. We planned to build the dunes and rebuilt the mangroves as the first line of defense for the protection of the coast. At the same time integrated into aquaculture to increase economic. On this basis, the raised walkway was established to connect village and beach, and to reduce the intervention of coastal vegetation. In addition, buildings in vulnerable areas are elevated to protect residents. To deal with more destructive disasters, we have planned the safe areas in towns and biological migration habitats along the coast. Under these resilient landscape strategies, we believe that this region will become a place where developing with ecology, religious culture and economic, and humans live in harmony with nature in a century.

ILLUMINATION OF THE LONE

The rapid development of cities has brought many conveniences to the urban residents,but it also comes a series of negative effects brought by urbanization, especially the psychological problems of urban residents. Trough the study of urban development process,we found that the psychological diseases brought by urbanization are closely related to the loneliness of urban residents. Issues to be addressed: Urban loneliness,as a global problem spread with urbanization,will be the focus of our research and the problem to be solved. We analyzed the causes of the city’s loneliness, and put forward a set of urban lonely healing solutions for cities in different stages of the world. Main features:This project takes the user’s spontaneous activities as motive force, and the user can organize and build the required space spontaneously.Moreover, through the implantation of visual, auditory, taste, touch, and sense of smell, the human senses can be stimulated to realize human interaction so as to reduce city’s loneliness. Innovations: Based on the needs of residents, urban public areas of different cities can be formed spontaneously through urban residents’ activities. Urban psychological healing means based on sensory stimulation.

Therefore, the demand and the trend of mining is inevitable. However, the mining methods have brought great damage to the environment, such as water, air, solid waste and soil pollution, and geological disasters. And a lot of money for repairing. We chose to conduct a comparative study at the Tongluo Mine. The site is divided into two parts. Site A began its mining activities in the 1980s had experienced severe ecological damage. A large number of farmers and miners lost their jobs, and a lot of money had been invested. Same with Site A, Site B, the site of this design, which is rich in mineral resources, also facing a new round of mining. In order to avoid the tragedy from happening again, the new ecological mining strategy cannot be delayed. Different from traditional mine rehabilitation projects, the core idea of this project is not to repair, but to prepose ecological strategies. Involves putting ecological valves on this site, building a natural and industrial resilient foundation. In this way to respond to a series of ecological problems and social problems that come with it when mining activities are carried out better. We hope can provide reference values for many other regions that are waiting to be mined, and adopt a new way to deal with the harm caused by inevitably mining at the present stage.

LIVE WITH SUNDARBANS EXPLORING A EXEMPLARY MODEL OF COMMUNITY CO-MANAGEMENT IN THE MANGROVE-AFFECTED AREA

The world heritage site, sundarbans, is the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most famous wetland, with the largest mangrove forest in the world. It is located in the Ganges delta, with a total area of 140000 hectares, with 260 species of animals and 334 plants live inside. However, as the sea level rises and storms become more intense, people here face severe poverty and the threat of flooding. People are displaced and their livelihoods are severely affected. This design is to explore a reproducible model adaptation model to mitigate and adapt to the existing problems in the sundarbens area, where the mangrove ecosystem is threatened, the harvest is reduced and the residence is located on the site of the risk margin. This model proposes different strategies for the improvement of ecological restoration, substitute livelihood and tourism supporting facilities in Sundarbans. The three strategies include mangrove ecological restoration, embankment ecological restoration and terrestrial forest ecological restoration; Alternative livelihood strategies based on Marine agriculture, fisheries, mangrove seedlings planted in dryland mangroves and mangrove byproducts processing; And a strategy to improve the travel infrastructure of housing, business, and entertainment. In the future, the site of this model adaptive model can be used for the well-being of the residents who rely on mangrove forests to survive and are at risk, so that people and mangroves can be protected from disasters and coexist in a harmonious coexistence between ecology and livelihood.

BREAK THE BOUNDARY SYMBIOSIS BETWEEN USERS AND PARK

With the construction of urbanization, the migrant workers entered the tree village park. Then, there was an area in this park which forms a boundary, isolated workers from other residents. The poor living environment of migrant workers obstructs the mobility of the park, which aggravates the environmental pollution and social instability. Considering migrant workers finally leave the park with policy-driven (as it’s not permitted to build houses in the park), and the principal contradiction may change over time, so we design an resilient mechanism which will lead to the coexist between the two ethnic groups and symbiosis with the park: the container house will be endowed with more public activities as the migrant workers leave this park as time goes on, and finally become a core bond connecting the north and the south area. Community farm, viewing platform and shared space change the original abandoned site into the space which could promote dialogue and accelerate different ethnic groups to know each other. At the same time, the cooperation mechanism between them provides vitality for the resilient renewal of park’s ecological cycle and social functions. Our project title is “Break the boundary Symbiosis between users and park”, and this landscape is aim at promoting symbiosis between users and park, including the adaptive activities and ecological measure design with time process.

COTTON REVOLUTION A SUSTAINABLE AND SUCCESSIVE ECOLOGICAL RESTORATION BASE ON COTTON FIELD AND SALINE-ALKALI SOIL IN NUKUS, ARAL SEA AREA

Aral Sea, as the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fourth-largest lake. is located in the lagoon of the intersection of Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan in central Asia. As a result of the collective agricultural policy introduced by the Soviet Union, lead to sharp reduction of water, the city around the Aral Sea is facing severe ecological crisis, and the port city Mo`ynoq has almost lain waste. Nukus, the capital city, is facing the threat of desertification. These cities will face more problems in the future. In order to solve these problems, we choose Nukus to study and find out the key to this dilemma is the cotton fields that led to water resources shortage and economic disaster, which also bring depopulation and economic decline. Therefore, we focusing on the cotton fields and wasteland, classifying it by this current situation and relationship with adjacent cities. There be some construction plan about city, farmland, resources and nature base on that category. Therefore, several solution ways come out rely on different type and phase, by improving and constructing those land, to forming a stable and flexible system about city and nature, each system is connected and will play an important role in ecological restoration and urban renaissance. Through this system, we intend to find a feasible solution to the crisis in the Aral Sea.

REVIVING FROM WAR RUINS

Project background: Ar-Raqqah in Syria, due to the invasion of “ISIS” terrorism, has become the main target of all military operations. 6000 years of civilization and prosperity were destroyed because of six years of war, with the city devastated, the local residents displaced. Obviously Ar-Raqqah had become a “hell on earth”. Nowadays, after the liberation of ArRaqqah, it has become an urgent problem that how to realize urban renewal after the war of resistance and post war. Issues to be addressed: Serious destruction of urban buildings, water pollution, destruction of grain production, energy scarcity, trauma and terrorism resistance. Main features, innovations: 1. The landscape design is carried out in combination with the frames of different urban site using the construction waste in the ruins of the city as the material. 2. Combine the ruins of war with the urban water system, bring the rivers into cities, and create a new ecological network of blue and green infrastructure. Using urban ruins and water system network as the starting point of urban Renaissance, create a city development mode of survival - production - life - prosperity, to explore a method of stage planning and landscape restoration that can change over time, contribute to the post-disaster reconstruction.

REDEFINE SAIGON RIVER BANK

While we were doing this design, we focused on a new landscape type of inhabitable landscape. The site is located on the riverbank of Ho Chi Minh City. Under the condition that HCMC is located on a flood plain, there are some places that are perfect for human living, while other places are not, where there has very severe flooding issue. Also because Vietnam is one of the Global-south countries, their government doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have enough money for equal development in the city, many of the poor groups turned out to have to live in the urban fringe area. The poor groups become the people who directly be influenced when the flood occurs in the city. To reduce the vicious circle caused by this gap between rich and poor, we choose to use the advantage of local living environment to improve the water condition and peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life. In our detail design, we created an island system at the junction of mainstream and tributaries to detain the flood. The second point, we created a commercial district to reserve local characteristics, a series of platforms to reorient the stream of people and an optimized drainage system to reduce and utilize the flood. The third point, we created an urban farm to provide survival possibility, and new floating houses to respond to the rising water levels, thus, we came up with a landscape mode to magnify the regional characteristics and negotiate the flood at the same time.

GREATEST COMMON DIVISOR TO MEET THE GREATEST PUBLIC NEEDS OF PEOPLE AND WETLANDS

The urbanization has a negative impact on the wetland ecology. In order to protect the wetland, the government has restricted the development of the industry around the wetland, and the balance between people and wetland is destroyed. Finally the traditional Waterland of the south of the Yangtze River is no longer existed. The above situation highlights the different development needs of human beings and wetlands. Human beings have the need of industrial development., and wetland has the need to maintain ecological balance. That is the contradiction that we need to solve. In this wetland, the designers changed the properties of the fish ponds around the wetland, hoping to improve the traditional freshwater aquaculture and agriculture through the treatment of the tail water and the dredging of the silt, so that it would not become a source of pollution in the wetland, but a part of the wetland ecological purification. To meet the needs of wetland and human development to the greatest extent, improve the restoration ability of wetland and realize the development of the greatest common divisor.

RABBIT EARRING PROJECT

The West Sea mudflats, one of the world’s top five mudflats. In particular, the western sea mudflats are located at the entrance to the ocean’s currents. Therefore, it is responsible for water quality management for the global environment. However, the western sea mudflats have been constantly destroyed in history. Various environmental problems arising from this are damaging both the ecosystem and humans. Therefore, we are planning to create a space for human use by utilizing reclaimed land that is being discarded. At the same time, he planned the project in an attempt to bring the dead land back to the mudflats ecosystem and create a symbiosis with nature. We’re going to do this as a strategy to restore the mudflats. First thing is to cut down the abandoned farmland to make it easier for the deposition. Second, By installing a deck on a soft surface, it creates an environment that is easily deposited in the lower space. Third, An artificial island is built around a pillar, creating an easy environment for deposition. So this strategy is what we’re going to do. Step one, every single patch of agricultural land that we’ve led to restore is restored to the mudflats. Step two, It will be spread to the surrounding agricultural land in harmony and is restored. And the last step is to lead the restoration into the broad mudflats gradually. We plan to create a space where humans and nature can coexist through this project.

CUTTING & FILLING

With the growing industrialization and the transformation of economic structure, more and more factories have appeared in China and there are also some problems caused by illegal production and emissions. Seepage pit is an obvious one of them, which are formed by digging pits and spilling toxic chemicals randomly and result in soil and groundwater pollution and high prevalence of local residents. We picked up a representative seepage pit which is located in Tong Jiazhuang Village, Jinghai District, Tianjin. It is close to provincial highway and elevated high-speed rail lines. We developed a strategy of “cutting& filling” aimed at this problem. The firststep is to restore the polluted water through digging some new pits to collect the waste water pumped out from the seepage pits and using chemicalbiological method to improve the quality of water. At the same time, we set out to treat the sediment and polluted soil through chemical methods, Ex-Situ Thermal Desorption and Soil Barrier and Landfill, which are effective to heavily polluted soil, and Aeration Treatment, which is more suitable for less polluted soil. After stacking and deposition of soil, we used this soil to build earthworks and grew some plants with strong adaptability on it to attract more and more wild animals and to speed up the process of ecological restoration. We developed fishponds, wetland, earthworks, urban agriculture, and agricultural education and water purification base in this site. We developed fishing and agriculture industry firstly. With the restoration and beautification of this site, the service and tourism industry can be promoted. Through soil and water treatment, the biggest threat to local people’s health is eliminated, meanwhile, the water purification base, farmland and earthwork can become educational and tourist spots, bringing new paradigm to local people and greater social value to the government.

RESILIENT GREEN CORRIDOR

RENEWAL AND RESTORATION OF URBAN FRINGE AREA IN BEIJING

The planning area is located in Changping District, Beijing, China. Shahe Reservoir serves as the intersection of the Nansha River and the Beisha River. It is the most important water network channel in the northern urban edge of Beijing. In recent years, with the rapid urbanization, the river has been destroyed to a large extent, seriously affecting the urban landscape and ecological environment. This design aims to restore important rivers along the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s borders and create resilient green corridors. Through the renewal and restoration of border rivers, it maintains the ecology of rivers, removes pollution, embeds green spaces, clears connections with cities, and relocates, transforms, and embeds functions, cleans and integrates space, and gives cities more river boundaries. Functions to create elastic boundaries while protecting the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s borders and prevent the city from spreading in disorder. We are trying to find a correct model of river restoration and development, which will make urban rivers more resistant to rapid urbanization, and also help the city to renew and repair itself. We hope to make a contribution to the various problems brought by rapid urbanization, and actively explore the responsibility and role of landscape design in ecological environment protection and restoration.

ONWARD OASIS

The area of the Aral Sea has declined by more than 90% (more than 60,000 square kilometers) in the 50 years, while the Amu Darya River, which is used to the main water resources of the Aral Sea, has been stored and separated by the countries on the way. Meanwhile, salinization and sandification in the surrounding area of the Aral Sea has been increasingly severe and suffer from salt and sandstorms, because of the excessive excavation of channels and giant water infrastructure to develop the cotton economy. The towns perspective for the agriculture now is forgotten. The area of the Alial Delta in Uzbekistan in the southern part of the Aral Sea has become the last natural buff between the Amu River and the Aral Sea. We try to use Aliaul as a starting point through transforming the traditional channel framework as a dynamic water network according to the rainy and dry season. we recombine traditional wisdom agricultural methods to improve water and salt balance, soil quality and adjust industrial models as an opportunity to revive Aliaul oasis and replenish ecological Water, to the Aral Sea. Hopefully, the Aliaul transformation framework can be used as a model which can be applied to the upper reaches and bring new opportunities for the oasis, the Amu Darya, and the Aral Sea relying on the inefficient agricultural economy.

NIGHT OF ULAANBAATAR

A FUTURE RESILIENT CITY ON THE FROZEN SOIL, BENEATH THE DUST, SURROUNDED BY YURTS This design is centered on the current situation of Ulaanbaatar in Mongolia, and its nature, culture and history. it is concluded that site status mainly in the “natural environment”, “air pollution”, “concentrated model” give priority to form a vicious cycle of the status quo, and put forward the solutions of “air”, “frozen soil”, “water “ as three solution. Air: we put forward “improved the original settlement mode”, “central heating”, “increase afforestation and landscape flexibility” three resolution strategy., to differentiate areas form a community group, group each contributed part of the land, build towers of central heating, central heating, increase the rate of burning coal, reduce waste emissions, waste heat supply center garden and the street trees to ensure plant growth, survival of plants, landscape further flexibility, forming a virtuous cycle. Permafrost: mainly to slow the permafrost melt and reduce the effects of frozen soil, we put forward “increase insulation layer”, “low impact strategy”, “increase of vegetation coverage”, “increase isolation belt” as four resolution strategy. Water: in order to relieve the water shortage in the dry period and purify the water quality, the two points of “water storage” and “water purification optimization biological chain” were proposed as the solution strategy. The river system is adopted to increase the capacity of water storage, improve the landscape of the river, plant a variety of plants, and optimize the original ecosystem.

THRIVING WETLANDS UPGRADING WETLANDS PROTECTION CAMPAIGN IN RESILIENCE TOWARDS INDUSTRIAL TRANSFORMATION AND NATURAL DISARSTERS

Kaohsiung, Taiwan, used to the colonial of Japan, settled itself to an industrial and harbor city, that endured fast urban sprawl in the last century, and accumulated many environmental problems. Wetlands can be seen as a symbol for Kaohsiung citizensâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; awareness of environmental protection, because most existing wetlands are facing or used to face threats by the sprawl of urban construction, but survived due to the efforts of many NGOs. The way to save wetlands is to make them play a much more important function. In this time of general global industrial transformation, like many other cities around the world, Kaohsiung faces the challenge of deindustrialization, together with problems of fierce weather and pollution. In view of the urban scale, scattered wetlands are supposed to be connected as a system together with other GI, to relieve the urban fierce environment and renovate the urban area in multifunction strategies. Through the classification of wetlands and land use, this project draw up three typical areas as models that to discuss wetlands in stand for function of: rural agriculture and tourism, rainwater management and regional weather, seashore ecosystem rebuild and pollution degradation, in concern of general resilience to natural disasters and permanence both economically and environmentally.

GREEN BONDING NET A RESILIENCE SYSTEM TO DESERTIFICATION

PROJECT CONTEXT Desertification is one of the important socialeconomy-environment issues the current global human beings are facing with. Minqin County is located at the junction of Gansu Province and Tengger and the Jilin Desert. Surrounded on three sides by desert, Minqin suffers from serious desertification. Every year, shifting sand buries a large number of houses and continue to advance to the hinterland. MAJOR ISSUES At present, desertified land accounts for 94% of the total land area of Minqin County, and the desert is constantly eroding the village. We need to find a way to stop the flow of the quicksand, or Minqin will be swallowed by the desert. This project focus on the following iusses: the fixation of shifting sands the recovery of natural vegetationă&#x20AC; the establishment of public space. STRATEGY Wheat Grass Square(WGS) is proved to be the most effective mean of sand fixation. Biological Soil Crusts(BSC) is also used. WGS increases the roughness of the underlying surface, significantly reduces the underlying wind speed, and thus weakens the land loss. Using wheat straw as main material, WGS is cheap and of easy construction. BSC is a compound formed by microbacteria, fungi, algae, lichens, mosses and other herbaceous plants and their mycelium and secretions. These two methods can effectively stabilize sand and help to form soil.

RECONSTRUCT THE FUTURE

SYSTEMATIC STRATEGIES ON ANTI-SEASONAL WATER-LEVELFLUCTUATION IN THE THREE GORGES RESERVOIR The Three Gorges Dam in China has resulted in the formation of 348.93km2 drawdown zone in the reservoir area, including a remarkable water level change ranging from 145m in summer to 175m in winter.At the same time, it brought about problems such as the reduction of ecological habitats, inundation of cultivated land, and largescale immigration. Issues: Kaizhou city has the largest drawdown zone of 45km2 and is the most typical city in the reservoir with multiple issues. The contradiction between urban development and water-levelfluctuation is an urgent problem to be solved. However, a dam was built and changed the regional hydrological features. A natural river channel was intercepted into a lake with constant water level, separating the city from resilient natural systems. Such a blunt manual intervention failed to solve the existing dilemma, but brought about more problems such as flood threat, ecological barrier and habitat reduction. Features and innovations: From the perspective of resilient landscape, the timeline was set back to 2002, when the dam construction and migration had not begun. The dam is overthrown and resilient systems for different problems are redesigned and rebooted. Targeted strategies of soft revetment for new town, ecological dyke for old town, andâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;island-pond systemâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; are involved to achieve the goal of building a positive and harmonious relationship between people, city and water-level-fluctuation, enhancing the ecological, economic and cultural values of the region comprehensively .

URBAN COMMUNITY RESILIENCE LANDSCAPE FOR ETHNIC HARMONY HISTORICAL EVIDENCE FOR CO EXISTENCE AND CONFLICTS

Issue: In the most of multiethnic Asian countries, ethnic conflicts and its’ bad impacts on human and nature is a major issue which affects to create massive landscape changes and social instability. Why these conflicts are happening, people are struggling for the right of practice their own believes and customs in public spaces. Where In Sri Lanka, people have experienced lot of conflict situations. Aluthgama and Dhrga Town areas are places where we recently experienced conflict situation between Sinhalese and Muslims with loss of lives and damages to the public and privet properties. Significantly there can be identified ethnic clustering, community Isolation and its bad impact to the society. It should be mitigated future potentials of emerging conflict situations in this landscape creating social resilience common landscape without any dominance for any ethnic group. Why: Main courses for this conflict situations are geographical separation of living ethnic groups (community isolation) and people are going extremism. Community isolation happens when minority do not feel the sense of inclusion in public spaces. Then people tend to create their own clusters. It creates people limited in thinking, attitude wise and it decreases the flexibility and adaptation. People are going extremism because of the psychological imbalances of the people. This project will affiliate people for a common ground giving sense of inclusion for both communities using common appreciation like, Aesthetic appreciation;Diversity of food cultures; Affiliation for sport activities. Creating an emotional landscape to release and neutralize emotions and understand others emotions and feelings. Vision:Celebrate the diversity of traditions and cultures, bringing back human connections to the places enhancing community integration to achieve a collective urban resilient for mitigation of ethnic separation.

METAMORPHOSIS OF SHIFTING MOSAIC A RESILIENT LANDSCAPE DEVELOPMENT FOR MITIGATE LANDSLIDE VULNERABILITY

Sri Lanka, whether it is called as a paradise island, the country is facing frequent landslides which affect badly for human lives, infrastructure and national economy. It is recorded that mostly 20% of total land mass considered to be prone to landslides. Thousands of people are vulnerable for this disaster and lost so many lives but they are not given any long term solutions. This project addresses above issue in a macro scale landscape mosaic and it is treated by identified major and minor issues at â&#x20AC;&#x153;Haldummullaâ&#x20AC;? area which is located within middle peneplain of Sri Lanka. Scalable landscape architectural solutions are given through series of historical, geological, ecological and social analysis. For this, Negative (disaster prone node) and positive (safe node) landscape nodes which identified within macro sites. Strategic landscape architectural involvements are given to shift the settlement in a more stable, more resilient and more resist land. Soft landscape techniques as same as hard landscape methods were used to mitigate future disaster preparedness. Through proposed landscape architectural development to those nodes will, Stabilize and uplifted into more stable, resistance and resilient scapes mainly enhance the land by mosaic pattern agents (soft landscape).

REBORN FROM WATER RESILIENT PLANNING MODE OF AREAS THREATENED BY FLOODS AND MUDSLIDES IN FREETOWN, SIERRA LEONE

In August 18, 2017, a sever mudslide occurred in Freetown, the capital of Sierra Leone in West Africa. About 800 people were killed and at least 7,000 were displaced, the tragedy lead us to this city with vicissitudes. The disaster was triggered by many reasons, including persistent rainfall, deficiency of water management facilities, soil erosion and deforestation caused by disordered city expansion. Population in Freetown has been oversaturated since the 11-year civil war in Sierra Leone, many people are living in slums and do not have security assurance. Lacking of government city planning, disordered expansion and environmental disruption put residents into a dangerous situation. We take the water as the point cut, based on the local landform and original rivers, create a new resilient system which contains river system design, water level control, new residential planning and land management. We design the check dams and resilient greenspace to enhance the riverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bearing capacity during the rainy season, techniques on soil slope in other green land and residential regions will provide a more stable land than the past. We hope that resilient system can improve the environment after disaster and lead a mode of city construction scientifically, finally provide a stable and safe place for people to live in and promote the development of Freetown.

During the 18th and 19th century the native grasslands of the Melbourne West drastically destroyed and replaced due to the rapid Agricultural growth (the intensive grazing by sheep); leading the loss of up to 70% and the overall diversity dismissed. This projects images introducing 60 hectares of Native Grasslands EVC and 20 hectares of wetlands in West Desalination Plant to restore natural habitat for local/aquatic birds and employ water surface filtration. The site is located conveniently 4 kilometres away from the second largest bird watching site in Australia. The project images the possibilities of hosting habitats for hundred thousands of birds including local freshwaters to migrating birds from Northern Hemispheres during summer. By achieving the restation of Plains Grassland EVC, the project recognises the rarity and significance of volcanic plain grassland as a rich seed resource. The project proposes that value is placed on restorative and regenerative functions over aesthetic outcomes - highlighting the biodiversity values of the site and its context. As the ‘High’ quality area are needed to patrol for grassy exotic weeds and intensive maintenance efforts are required for the ‘Medium’ areas. These processes ensure the long-term survival of all indigenous plant species and reintroduce of elements of the presumed original flora. As a result, the project not only revives the rich biodiversity of grasslands EVC but also provides the Utopia for birds and other wild animals.

The project is located in Dali, Yunnan, China. The design scope includes the governance of Erhai and its source. Erhai is the second largest freshwater lake in Yunnan province. It is the mother river raising the people of Yunnan. It is also one of the important pillars of the tourism economy of Yunnan province. In recent years, Erhai is facing a crisis of life and death. The contradiction between eutrophication, water quality decline, water treatment and riverside villagers’ survival is an important issue that Erhai needs to solve. In order to solve these problems, through field survey and data collection, we put forward several improvement measures including ecology, technology and management to improve the water quality of Erhai Lake, and selected the channel of Luoshi River connecting Erhai Lake as the key design point. We regard river as the artery of human body, and creatively combine capillary, Pascal triangle theory and wetland system to form a multi-layer filtration system to improve the water quality of Erhai Lake.

GROWING COOLING ISLAND

-BU I LDI NG TH E ECOLOGICALSOCIOECONOMIC COMPOSITE FRAME TO RESIST U RBAN H EAT ISSU ES Beijing is one of the most densely populated metropolises in the world between the years from 2006 to 2015, the area of highest temperature zone is increasing yearly.Escalating urban heat island phenomenon caused great harm to peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lives and the ecological environment.Meanwhile, Beijing International Marathon Competion is held on the burning road in the heat of August,which passes through the concentrated area of the urban heat islands.In the game time, high heat has certain negative influence on the athletesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; physical health.After the game,benefits of public services have not improved,and public facilities are not being used properly. We proposed the concept of Growing Cooling Island to resist the urban heat issue.Through building the ecologicalsocioeconomic composite frame,cooling island grows continuously thus realizing the cooling and alleviating the heat island effect. To provide cold island effect,we planned the bluegreen system ,which includes three aspects:(1)Integrating existing greenspace and water system.(2) restorating the historical water system.(3)combining cooling islands with public transport system,communicating historical cultural area and green space. Through these methods,at the same time as solving the problem of urban high temperature,it creates ecological and socioeconomic value.In ecologicalaspect,cooling island provides habitat for birds,improving biodiversity in old town.

ELASTIC WEB

The unique and energetic natural scenery of the seaside always attracted humanity to settle in this place and form a series of local cultures. However, with the development of regional economy, the ecological environment and economic development have formed an opposite situation. According to analysis, we propose three strategies to restore site flexibillity. The project is located in Haiwei Town, in the west of Hainan Province and Changjiang Li Autonomous County, near the seashore. The soil in the site was dry and scarcity of water. Desertification occurred in some areas. The water body was polluted in different degree due to the development of the aquaculture industry. The types of vegetation were monotonous. At the same time, it is also facing the threat of a tropical storm surge. Based on the principle of bionics, we borrowed from the elastic structure of the spider wed to design a network with defensive capabilities, resilience and connectivty. The overall fucntion was achieved through the superimposition of functions. It is a multicultural information carrier for transportation, history, landscape, ethnicity, etc. Through ecological restoration and reuse, the site has become a multipfuncitonal landscape space. It has demonstrated the coastal wetland landscpe as the main body, reflecting the development of marine fishery. The historical connotation has research value and educational function for people to visit and watch popular science investigation.

POVERTY INNOVATION AND RESILIENT COMMUNITY SELFORGANIZATION IN BANGLADESH

Bangladesh is one of the poorest and most densely populated countries in the world. There are many environmental problems. Chandpur faces various nature disaster such as flooding , garbage pollution and tsunami. We are concerned about a group of people at the bottom of society who collect garbage for living. They are dealing with the urban garbage like the “scavenger” in biological world. Due to the high density of the city, they were squeezed to the periphery of the river, which is the most vulnerable place to floods. From bottom to top, we hope the environmental, ecological, social and economic issues could be solved through the strategy of poverty innovation and self-organization pattern, so as to achieve a resilience development. 1, through the garbage classification, waste building materials and even waste tires are used to build river embankment to resist floods. 2, To meet the floating need in residential area, using recycling materials such as plastic bottles、bamboo and wasted fabrics to build houses; 3, By integrating space at the community level, increase three-dimensional greening to achieve an effective improvement of urban environmental.

WATERY DRYLAND: A PLANNING OF THE BLUE INFRASTRUCTURE IN ANTOFAGASTA, CHILE

Under the background of global warming and frequent occurrence of extreme climatic events, this project put forward an idea of adaptive water system for Antofagasta, a northern city of Chile. According to the Literature study and field trips, some issues such as water shortage, minimal annual precipitation and unpredictable rainstorm are revealed, which lead to a lack of urban green area, negative agricultural development and even water supply dispute. However, the average air humidity in Antofagasta is up to 70%. Hence, the innovative facilities transforming â&#x20AC;&#x153;wet airâ&#x20AC;? into water could be built around this city, increasing the water supply significantly. Moreover, combined these new facilities with rainwater collectors and domestic sewage recycling, an urban blue infrastructure net could be established in response to extreme drought and sudden rainstorm. In this way, from partly to generally, the urban greenfield and public space of Antofagasta would be gradually restored. At the same time, the reasonable redistribution of water resource would relieve social contradictions, promote social resilience.

-A PRELIMINARY STUDY ON THE MUNICIPAL RIVER POLLUTION QUTONOMOUS SYSTEM UNDER THE COORDINATION MECHANISM.

The definition of resilient landscape is “the ability of ecosystems to endure disrupted and not collapse”, disrupting the process of rapid urbanization, in addition to natural disasters, and the loss of biodiversity, loss and degradation of natural resources, and economic and social instability. . We focus on the disruption of the urban waterfront environment in the rapid urbanization process. With the development of industry, people over the riverside area, which have brought a series of adverse effects on the city riverside area, such as water pollution, river blockage, the quality of the surrounding environment and so on. The development of rivers is closely related to the development of cities. How to build a good and sustainable waterfront environment is an important challenge facing the society today. The long-term dominant position of riverside area for urban development comes from its unique value, flexibility and adaptability. We selected the city of Harbin in the city of the city of the city of the city of the river Ma Jia ditch research and design, according to the surrounding environment, the entire section of the river is divided into three stages, different stages of water treatment in different stages, different pollution conditions to take different strategies, and ultimately the whole river system has the city’s pollution of the city self.

THE TURN

THE REBIRTH OF THE CITARUM RIVER

Citarum River is located in the west of Java, Indonesia, originated in the mountainous area of southern Bandung, with the basin area of 6,600 km2, ranking the third largest river of Indonesia. Since the 1980s, Bandung has achieved population growth and rapid urbanization by the driving force of textile industry, while the lack of environmental awareness has led to a dramatic decline in water quality for the past 20 years, combined with frequent floods that result from extreme weather, which both exert severe influence on Indonesia’s economy and society. Based on the endeavor of local government, the “TURN” project is to borrow the power of river course, take advantage of the river itself, and change the negative effects of floating garbage into positive ones at the river turns. Specifically, the garbage collection and flood prevention facilities will be taken as the standard module which will be put into more available turns, so as to gradually reduce the floating wastes, build floodwalls that are made of garbage and then design the waterfront space for activities by reusing the garbage. By doing this, we can reduce the pollution, improve flood control ability and vitalize the river bank as well. The wide application of this module will help clearing the river wastes and improve the city’s adaptability to the river pollutions and extreme climate, therefore revitalize the Citarum River after years of pollution.

ADAPTIVE CELLS: THE FLOATING WONDERS Our site is located in Zoucheng, Shandong Province in China, which is one of the current ecological hotspots in North China with evident ecosystem disruption due to human interference. Coal mining was once flourished in the design site led to a short-term development of local society and economy. Currently, severe coal mining collapse becomes the major driver of local environment changes, which leaves horrors of ground deformation and subsidence, vegetation deterioration, loss of agricultural fields, the occurrence of accident and casualties, as well as lagging economy and vulnerable community. Our design idea is to make full use of the ecological opportunity of newly formed wetland due to ground subsidence and accumulation of stomwater in the site to reverse the fragile site to a resilient landscape system. We adopt ecological engineers including multifunctional floating beds, dynamic ponds and water forestry to develop a sustainable framework with resilience capacity to contribute restoration of local ecosystem and the regeneration of local society, economy, and culture. Carefully designed floating beds will be the core part of the landscape framework, which adopt various of ecological structures and engineering means to provide dynamic modules such as wildlife habitats, wet meadows, crop production and activity modules to offer various of functions including biodiversity conservation, aesthetics, crop yields, edu-cation and recreation, etc. With the involvement of life wisdom and ecological wisdom, the system will perform as â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;adaptive cellsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; that continuously evolve with the abi-lity of self-maintenance, and therefore achieve real resilience.

STARRY SKY

SMALL SCALE MOBILE LANDSCAPE DESIGN USING INDUSTRIAL MATERIALS AS ELEMENTS

In the process of transforming Sheffield from the main steel industry into a green, technological and industrial city, the Tang Valley region has been continuously developed into a chaotic pattern since the 1990s: limited green areas, lack of vitality, and industrial pollution，serious and unbalanced industrial types all contributed to the serious obstacles to the future development of the Tang Valley area. We use the design method of the elastic landscape to give new functions to the waste space of the original industrial area and rejuvenate it, connecting various industrial spaces through the block. The abandoned space is the point, the street is the line, and the dotted lines form the “Starry Sky” view overlooking the perspective, and refer to this area as the star of Sheffield. In addition, the location, quantity, and function of the landscape system and the distribution of each element are variable. While undertaking Tang Valley’s long history of industrial manufacturing, it has also met the continuous development of society and residents’ needs.

BRIDGE OVER TROUBLED WATER

- ECOLOGICAL SELF-RECOVERY SYSTEM BRIDGE THE PAST AND FUTURE LANDSCAPE

Parti derives from understandings that are nonlandscapture and must be cultivated before landscape form can be born. We think about the relationship between the past and the future, then we find a bridge which can be a hint to experiential and aesthetic sensibility. So, we draw a soft line on “Shezidao” landscape and building volume, to create a unique parti solving the serious flooding problem of nature and economic issue of residents. We use “ denial and reward ”to enrich passage through the built environment. First, we tend to be concerned with landscape physical things in and of themselves. Then, we focus on the human interface with physical things. Next time, you will see a brand new landscape when crossing the “Shezi Bridge”from Taipei City. Due to the heavy Gloria Typhoon rains, Shezidao Island was announced as forbidden area for over 50 years. Most habitats in Shezidao have been affected by floods caused by the typhoon rains. We decide to Build a wetland park, to control flood, and the cultivation of ecological self-recovery system. Design a “system” not just landscape design, respond to the topic “elastic landscape” and design a set of “protective, predictive, mitigation, adaptability” to explore Shezidao for government measures the negative impact, as well as the natural flood itself. The bridge implied the connection between Taipei City and the forgotten island that bridge the past and the future.

THE CIRCLE OF LIFE -ECOLOGICAL RESTORATION OF SHAOHAI WETLAND

Jiaozhou is close to Huanghai. During the rainy season, the tides backflow makes it easy to flood. In 2001, the flood caused an economic loss of 120 million yuan, brought huge losses to Jiaozhou. The wetland is a city flood control wetland, which can meet the defense demand of the 50-year-flood. Since 2006, the government has invested nearly 700 million yuan to develop it, leading a large number of fishermen lost their land. However, excessive economic investment is harmful to Shaohai in fact. Severe water pollution causes the reeds to grow wildly and animals’ death. Organic matter can’t be consumed timely and silt accumulates too fast, so the wetland flood-control function is weaker and weaker. And the huge investment has not received the expected benefits. To solve it, we made several field research and come up with the solution. The ecological dam made up with willows and filled with reeds to lead water to impact and form a wetland. Then we can establish the land-wetland- damfloating island multi-level purification system to improve the water quality and increase the biodiversity to restore the wetland’s ecology. Then we can breed mussels in wetland to purify water, and develop pearl economy and ecological tourism which can bring economic income and jobs with the reed knitwork for the relocated-fishermen. Finally, we can restore the ecological resilience of the site and build a social - economic - and ecological resilience cycle.

LEEWAY OF CONVECTION

Tropical villages in Southeast Asia are vulnerable to tropical storms. Because of the location at the junction of the river and the sea as well as the massive deforestation of mankind for economic development, Dakhin Bedkasi suffered more complex disasters. Tidal river brings back-flowing seawater from the down stream and Kopothakho River brings sensation from the upper stream. In order to solve the conflict of the site, the plan sets out the rivers that discharge the floods upstream and divert the rivers that flow to downstream. With the height of different water levels, embankments and islands, which are different height, are used to change the flood of discharged channels. While reducing flood damage to a minimum, it has greatly improved poldersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; drainage capacity and enhanced the production and sustainable development of polders. At the same time, these rivers bring abundant fresh water and sediment during the non-flood season, which alleviate the problem of long-term surface descent in the polders system. Mangrove on both sides of the river bank prevent soil erosion and provide ample food sources for the aquaculture. Together improve the systemâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s defense capabilities and sustainability. The flexible water strategy transformed the original chaotic convection conflicts into human, water, and natural. The plan improves the safety and livability of the local community and provides residents with more economic income.

GROW FROM MUD

-TIDAL RIVER MANAGEMENT SYSTEM FOR COASTAL EROSION ZONE

Bangladesh is a low-lying country which is rich in water systems. The national economy is dominated by agriculture. The country is often affected by natural disasters and extreme weather. Issues to be addressed Located at the mouth of the Meghna River, Bhola is the largest island in Bangladesh and seriously affected by river erosion and seasonal cyclones. A 4-meter-high seawall has been built for defense. However, the fragile seawall and its inelastic defense model could not resist the erosion of the coastline. It even brings about the problem of soil depletion. The islanders are forced to cut down mangroves for more farmlands. Low production efficiency and fragile ecological environment have formed a vicious circle. Strategy The Tidal River Management System, which is composed of a tidal river, three dikes, a littoral and a polder settlement zone, protects people’s safety and restores farmlands by sedimentation in a resilient way. Innovations Our resilient landscape system is based on the current conditions which could mitigate the negative impacts of disasters and protect people’s living environment in dealing with natural disasters. At the same time, the system formed by borrowing natural forces skillfully could optimize people’s production methods and restore natural ecosystem gradually.

The per capita fresh water capacity in Qingdao is less than 247m3 while the international standard of severe water shortage is 500m3. Even it was in the urban area of Qingdao, Fushan Mountain failed to become an air purifier and was threatened by aridity as well as flood resulted from monsoon climate. Problems to be solved: Once vibrant and covered with dense primary vegetation, Fushan mountain was lumbered and quarried as the spreading urbanization, which has undermined the natural environment and ecologic system there. When the rainstorm comes, the water canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be reserved in Fushan Mountain and a flood may erupt intimidating local residents. Main features and innovative points: This program tackles with the problem of the water reservation first.We come up with three strategies of reservoir construct, aiming to change Fushan Mountain into a reservoir with ecological resilience. First, foster a diverse phytobiocoenose in Fushan Mountain in a rational artificial way. Second, design an installation to dispose raindrops including collecting devices for sea fog and arched facilities to prevent water loss according to the ecological environment and terrain slope Third, build a public park for local people and city farms in the flat areas at the foot of Fushan Mountain.

SMART DESIGN TO BUILD RESILIENCE - FUTURE HABITATS OF BAIYANGDIAN, XIONG' AN NEW AREA

The site is located in Xiong’ an New Area, which will be a world-class new city in the future of China. The Baiyangdian Wetland is the ecological green core of the Xiong’an New Area, but now its ecological situation is not optimistic. The domestic sewage of the 88,000 inhabitants living in Baiyangdian has brought a huge burden on the wetlands. At the same time, many abandoned reed fields can not play the role of purifying the water quality because of the extremely poor connectivity. We used UAV and water quality detector to carry out detailed investigation and data collection of abandoned reed fields in Baiyangdian, and established several 3D models. After analyzing the ecological structure of the Baiyangdian Wetland and various data on the reed fields, we propose a strategy to enhance the connectivity of the reed fields and create a variety of habitats for birds. The new reed field can purify water of the present wetlands to restore the health of the wetland, and it also improves the ecological chain of the wetland through building bird habitats. The wetland is more resilient and provides strong support for the ecosystem stability of Xiong’ an New Area. Based on the data of UAV aerial photogrammetry, we quantified the design results and calculated the specific water purification of the new reed field, which provided a basis for the implementation of the scheme.

ACCUMULATION -REBIRTH

- THE BALANCE AND REGULATION OF THE CATCHMENT CELL EVOLUTION AND CHANGLING LAKE DRIED UP ISSUE In order to deal with the dryness of Changling Lake, the mechanism of water-collecting cells evolution will be used to solve the problem. The water-harvesting cells are scattered blocks in the fishpond area, farmland area, and Changling Mountain forest land area in the site. They are all independent blocks before the site reconstruction, and lacking regional adjustment flexibility. The strategy of this design: on one hand, is to activate the water collection area block which was not active; on the other hand, forming a flexible water self-regulating system, ultimately achieve balanced and stable ecological environment among various blocks in the region. The key step is the treatment of fish ponds, by setting artificially floating wetlands and then using natural succession, it will be transformed into wetland and the setting of the water circulation system between the catchment area and the Changling Lake area. The treatment of farmland areas let parts of them transformed into reforestation, and other parts of them transformed into a rice-fishery symbiotic system, so that the originally isolated economic units are integrated into the entire regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ecological cycle, achieving economic and ecological win-win, and maximizing regional functional flexibility.

TWIN VILLAGE SYSTEM

- COMMUNITY BASED DISASTER MECHANISM

The project focuses on a volcano site called Mountain Bromo which is located in the east of Malang city, Indonesia. It is an active volcano and there is a minority nationality called Tenggernese. They believe in Mt. Bromo and view it as the god of universe. The unexpected volcanic eruption happens from time to time and it is reported that these people are unwilling to remove from their hometown for 200 years. After research, it is speculated that the main drive of this human-volcano pattern is that although these guys have to undertake the short term risks of the volcano, they can get benefits which can compensate the negative effects from the volcano in the long term. Tengernese attitude toward the volcano is that they view volcano as an opportunity rather than disaster or frightening thing. Based on this ideology, the project try to reduce the negative effects and strengthen the benefits of disaster. A new disaster mechanism is developed based on community. The goal is that new mechanism could not only help villagers survive a disaster but also strengthen the community in the term of public engagement, social equality and education. The main concept is to further develop twin village system in the way of developing villages connection space. These space connect different two villages so they can work together no matter with disaster preparedness or daily business in this space. After the strategy deployment, these tenggerese villages will be a resilient system with community vitality.

"REVITALIZING KALUTARA"

-RESPONSIVE TOURISM ORIENTED FACILITATIVE LANDSCAPE

Kalutara is the major city located in the Kalutara District, Western Province, Sri Lanka. The town’s name is derived from the Kalu Ganga River (‘Black River’ in native Sinhala). Kalu Ganga Estuary and Kalutara were highlighted areas within Sri Lanka in history due to different reasons. The sand bar act as the barrier to control the effect of ocean waves. In the present day, Kalu Ganga Estuary area is environmentally and socially degraded. This project is basically focuses on regenerating the whole area by conserving the environment. Kalutara estuary is especially importance due to the sand bar and the forest patch. Due to the sand mining upriver and wrong method of cutting the sand bar during the last rainy season, the estuary is under a huge threat of losing its structure, ecosystem and beauty. Environment degradation in the site context • High erosion of the coastal line and sand bar area. • Embankment degradation. • Vegetation degradation. • River bed degradation (sand mining). The first phase of the project is aimed on conserving the degraded area. The degraded sand bar will be supported by a sand retaining structure to provide the ability to fill up back as it was. It will also reduce the embankment erosion due to ocean waves. Planting concept is going to be used to regenerate the degraded vegetation. It will also supports to retain the soil. The second phase of the project is catered as the facilitative landscape for the tourists.

MAGIC UNDER THE MANGROVES

The project is located in Tuy Hoa city, Phu Yen province, Vietnam. Decades ago, the immigrants were well-off with a friendly environment. However, in the past few years, with the disappearance of mangroves, the area was vulnerable to severe coastal erosion, typhoon, biodiversity reduction. People cut down mangrove forest in order to produce rice and shrimp. There are farmland or shrimp ponds on the deltas, river banks and coasts. In the absence of mangrove protection, many natural disasters occurred and large areas of farmland and shrimp ponds were abandoned. All these have increased the poverty of the residents. Now we hope to create a resilient ecosystem by restoring mangroves. Our team has designed a stable and permeable bamboo dam and device that balances the settlement and loss of soil. Then, mangroves will be able to grow there again and there will be a biological explosion. Deltas on both sides of the river will become mangroves forest and wetlands. Residents donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to fear their farmland and shrimp ponds due to the protection of mangroves. And they can also earn some money through mangroves, processing industry and the development of tourism. Eventually, people live in harmony with nature and form a virtuous cycle of economy, nature and society.

RENAISSANCE OF STEPWELL, RESILIENCE OF SURAT Surat is located on the bank of the river Tapi and at mouth of the Gulf of Khambhat. Affected by the monsoon, the annual rainfall distribution in the region is extremely uneven. As the 4th-fastest growing city in India, Surat is losing its ability to withstand seasonal climate changes and has received disasters frequently due to rapid urbanization. Crisis:Surat faces risks of flooding, extreme heat, subsequent health risks, and seawater intrusion caused by excessive use of groundwater. Strategies: Establishing three kinds of stepwell and connecting them in series into an urban resilience system. 1. Excavate the first-tier stepwells at the weakest place near by the existing dam to hold flood water and use the earthworks to build a new and higher dam. These stepwells also become new agriculture and recreation space for people. 2. Build the second-tier stepwells in the original large-scale green space to relieve floods, which can not only supplement groundwater and cool the city during the dry season but also serve as large-scale public space. 3. Construct the third-tier stepwell on the street scale. Combine the stepwells with rain gardens and green roofs for rain collection and create public cores of communities. Innovations: Inspired by stepwell, a traditional Indian water facility, our design aims to allocate the drought and rainy season water resources by adding and transforming the functions of stepwell to increase cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s resilient ability. While solving environmental problems, it also provides public spaces and emerging industries.

"BREATHE UNTRAMMELED"

ShaoHai Wetland Park is an important part of network in DaGu river system in the JiaoZhou bay. It is the national largest wetland park dominated by city flood control functions , north China’s largest artificial freshwater lake. Need to solve the flood threat, a perennial water-logging and flooding, whenever the DaGu river is high water level during the flood, the flood flow backward, DianZi river and YunXi river cannot pour out water and easy to form water-logging. At the same time, water pollution can lead to eutrophication, reeds and other plants make silting fast.The measures in “Urban ecological rehabilitation programme” are not suitable for all venues. Invest much money, but outside species don’t grow well,the ecological benefits are reduced instead. In order to improve the storage capacity of the site and make it more resilient,we design to dig silt in the center of the site and use it to build up floating island; Braid the ecological revetment, restrain the growth rate of the plant, change the shoreline of the lake, avoid silt fast deposition; Construct underwater ecological landscape equipment, perfecting the ecosystem, improving water pollution, restoring the vitality of the lake and establishing a sustainable and stable ecological space;Develop suitable plants to attract people to participate in. Peopleoriented, focus on economic benefits.

REBORN FROM THE ASHES :

RECONSTRUCTING THE HARMONY BETWEEN INHABITANTS AND WILDFIRE BY FIRE-RESILIENT LANDSCAPE APPROACHES Daylesford is a small town in Victoria, Australia. Before urbanization, the fire was an important part the local aboriginal people’s life. They used the fire to create and protect their settlements , and to manage the planting and hunting . However, during the expansion of the city, due to the excessive use of manual intervention to extinguish natural fires, combustibles gradually accumulated, causing large-scale uncontrollable natural fires, which caused great personal injury and property damage to local inhabitants. This project is based on the principle of “small fire extinguishing large fire”, using small-scale high-frequency natural wildfires and artificial arson to digest natural combustible materials, thus reducing the risk of large fire and possible losses. The innovation of this project is to divide the fire into three types of land: forestland, water area, and grassland according to the location. Based on this, we use the different ratios of plants, terrain, water, and devices to build a variety of flexible combinations：the fire transition zone. This zone is capable of self-digestion of fire and uses fire as an element to achieve ecological, landscape, and industrial benefits. Through this kind of fire-adapted practice, we hope to restore the local traditional fire culture and realize the harmonious coexistence between inhabitants and wildfires.

PULSING LAND

XiaoZhou Village locates near the Guangzhou College Town in China in which exists ten colleges that enroll art students every year,since its superior location and its inexpensive price for rent ,numerous artexaminees and art training institutions have swarmed into the village.The dense art atmosphere in the village attracts tourists,making it a tourism and artistic village. As we researched,the most severe problem that the village facing is there are insufficient sketching space for art-examinees in art-exam period (from Aug. to Feb. every year) ,unsatisfying use ratio of landscape space and lack of symbolic and attractive spots,which makes the village empty and desolated in non-art-exam period (from Mar. to Aug. every year). We did detailed researches in the whole village and finally chose four major spots as target spots,in which every spot can satisfy different needs of art-examinees,villagers and tourists in different periods with our design.The project provides better sketching environment for artexaminees in art-exam period and more attractive spots for tourists and villagers in non-art-exam period.The flexible function of landscape makes the village energetic and resilient,just like a beating pulse.

CHIP RESTRUCTURING - PIT REPAIR AND RECONSTRUCTION ELASTICITY AND REGENERATION

Natural environment, which human beings are facing, is becoming more and more serious in the present world . The reconstruction to the nature is becoming deeper and deeper . Mining has caused a huge and destruction effect on natural environment. Thisproject will intriduee some plans for the sake of the mined area. Therefore, we have selected the North Mountain as our testing site in Jiao Zuo of Henan Province in China. We pick and project four typical mines, finding that mining is damaging local air quality and natives are suffering from dirty air whose main factor is inhalable particles. That increases the disease rates, like respiratory infection By this project, the speeies diversity on damaged mountains can get changed Furthermore we can analyse which is fit for local ecosystem native or external species? This project adopts the latest technology and takes different measures in accordance with the types of pits, in order that the local ecological system can be selfrenovated and self-purified.

MOUNTAIN RESERVOIR:

FLOOD PREVENTION, WATER STORAGE, MOUNTAIN RESTORATION

Mountain Fu is located in Qingdao, Shandong, China, north of the Yellow Sea. The top of the mountain is full of fog and air humidity, but there are problems of soil erosion and drought. At the same time, the serious destruction of vegetation is due to historical reasons and artificial quarrying. Cause the fact that precipitation in Qingdao is mostly concentrated in July and August, it is prone to flooding in summer and drought in other seasons. The phenomenon threatens the safety of surrounding residents. Issues that need resolving: 1. Incomplete plant community and poor water storage capacity. 2. The effect of the interception of vegetation is poor, and the flood season is prone to flood disasters. 3. Residents who have been displaced because of the destruction of the mountain environment have always wanted to relocate their homeland. Key features and innovations: 1. Use water collection devices to collect the vapors from mist and tidal winds for plant growth and groundwater recharging. 2. Planting pioneer species to restore vegetation, attract animals, improve biodiversity, and form a complete food chain. 3. Establishing urban farms to provide conditions for residents to return. 4. The complete ecosystem has improved the flood control and storage capacity of Mountain Fu. Then it becomes a huge reservoir. During the rainy season, water can be stored to prevent floods. During the dry season, the reservoir provides water to relieve the drought.

Precipitation: The average annual rainfall in Fushan Bay and the surrounding coastal areas is 7378 mm. The annual rainfall is concentrated in July and August, which is 48% of thetotal annual rainfall; and the winter rainfall is small.

Design Notes Project Overview: There is a huge contradiction between the flood and the drought and the water and soil loss is serious in the project site. The whole mountain is destroyed. Design idea: Collecting the tide wind through the water collecting devices to solve the drought in the mountain and ensuring the normal growth of the plant.Then solving the problem of soil erosion and restore the ecological cycle of Mountain Fu. Relieving the pressure in the flood season through landscape measures such as underground water storage tanks, and minimizing the damage caused by flooding.

POST-ALAASPRODUCTIVE PERMAFROST LANDSCAPE We focus on Yakutsk, Russia and its surrounding countryside under the general background of global warming. The city, which is based in the tundra, is faced with a number of safety hazards caused due to the melting of permafrost, including flooding, drought and deteriorating infrastructure. The melting of permafrost affects agricultural production, and will also change rural landscapes. We wish to use â&#x20AC;&#x153;resilienceâ&#x20AC;? as the design core to help Yakutsk realize the long-term healthy development in the face of the crisis of the melting of permafrost by harnessing the shortterm positive condition as well as providing solutions to its long-term negative effects. Our strategies are embodied by ecological resilience, economic resilience and socioculture resilience. By studying the law of the melting of permafrost and combining the thermalkarst lake system of Alaas landscape to construct a regional ecological security pattern. The best type of combination of plants were selected for Alaas landscape in different habitats to form a permafrost-adaptive plant community. The water resilience of the Alaas Necklace system enables the local herdsmen to continue traditional production and rebuild the traditional settlement civilization and in turn help Alaas realize its cultural inheritance.

The project is located in Guiyu Town of Shantou City in China, which is a major pollution town of electronic garbage in the world. The local irregular electronic disassembly operation, electronic waste incineration and sewage discharge have seriously affected the local soil and water environment. Located in the low-lying coastal city, Guiyu is a serious waterlogging area, which is affected by storm surge. After the industrial transformation, the employment of local residents and urban expansion also put great pressure on the local environment. In a nutshell, the main environment problem faced by Guiyu is the loss of biodiversity. The operation of the local river, farmland and urban ecosystem is greatly hindered,and the lack of biodiversity weakens the resistance and resilience of Guiyu to natural disasters, hindering the steady development of the city for a long time. Faced with these problems, we design a green infrastructure project based on wetlands. In the early days, it is like a stretch belt and elastic mat to absorb garbage,pollutant, floods, and meanwhile release organic matter, energy to enhance the biodiversity of region. Over time, our design work fully exerts the spontaneity of landscape changes in time while allows the three ecosystems(river, farmland and city) to form a sustainable ecological cycle. Formed by different types and layers of elastic bands, it is just like an immune cell, which links all kinds of areas to develop a functional composite elastic network and makes Guiyu Town immune and resilient.

BLUEPHILIA

Desertification and land devastation are occurring worldwide due to rapid urbanization. These phenomena are not limited to the natural environment, but also to urban areas, which is called urban desertification. Jeju Island is a popular tourist attraction with about 30 million visitors per year, so it is actively developing the resorts, shopping malls and etc. As a result, urban desertification is under way, with the temperature of the city rising and the level of underground water gradually lowered thus the soil is becoming dry. Therefore, we will try to solve the urban desertification by mimicking the Gotjawal, special forests and terrains of Jeju Island. we have defined the landscape as Bluephilia, which mimics the ecosystem or nature. To solve this problem, we want to apply various concepts ‘ Underlane, Underline ’ : The ‘Underline’ is the line that represents the highest level of groundwater, and the ‘underlane’ is the line that limits the depth of a building’s cutting according to the ‘Underline’ ‘ Blue vessel ’ : it is the natural flow of water into artificial recharge well connected to aquifers through the process of mounding. ‘ Vertical Canal ’ : It is created to flow directly to the aquifer using a pipe. ‘ Bluephilic Planting ’ : Including the common multi-layer planting structure, we plan to design that the roots are multi-layer. Through these designs, we think it will bring about a chain of benefits such as saving groundwater and improving soil, eventually saving the city.

BREAK THROUGH THE GARBAGE SIEGE With urban development and population growth, the amount of urban waste generated in Beijing has gradually increased, and a large amount of waste that is difficult to handle has surrounded the core urban areas, causing serious environmental problems and social problems, leaving Beijing to face the dilemma of “garbage siege”. Problems: 1.In Beijing, where land resources are in short supply, landfill-based treatment methods have been unable to dispose of urban garbage, and new waste disposal methods need to be found; 2. The public opposes the establishment of waste incineration plants because of concerns about environmental pollution. The treatment of toxic substances after burning needs to be resolved. Project Features: Multi-scale coordinated planning. Sustainable recycling models replace existing unsustainable waste disposal methods. From disordered processing to orderly use. Garbage becomes resources, and space is rationally dispatched and value fully utilized. At the same time, with the ecological restoration, the green land will be returned to the city. Innovation: In a resource-harmonious and coordinated use of resources, combined with technology, the garbage will be converted into natural elements and natural landscapes, artificial landscapes, and natural urban ecosystems for social development will be operated. Turn garbage from the dark side of the city into a positive one.

This project is one of the six increasing retention pond project in eastern Bangkok managing by Department of Drainage and Sewerage. It is in suburb of Bangkok where nowadays are risk of urban expansion like housing estate and commercial area. The concept of water management is integrated typical Bangkok retention pond design with rice field which is the original site context. It is a form of polder that can collect the water already. Unlike the typical Bangkok retention pond that do not take concern in ecological factors and system is illegal. The purpose of project is to adapt water management with the suburbs area. Which using rice field context can reduce the problem of urban sprawl and deal with the global warming that causes the unusual weather such as localized clusters rainfall for example using rice field that connect each other with main canal to distribute water volume in canal to low rainfall intensity areas. The traditional rice cultivation learning center and using rice field with water management would reduce the expansion of the city to the suburbs or agricultural areas which is the area for collecting water before flow through the inner city. It can also be used as a pilot model for water managing of the retention pond and rice field to the rice fields around the suburbs. Without buying land, but make agreements with farmers in the area to help increase flexibility and quickly to provide water catchment area when the sudden climate change.

THE GROWING LINE

Makoko is a water community in lagos, Nigeria. For nearly 100 years it has thrived on the fishing and sawing industries - Providing over a third of lagosâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; fish supply and most of its timber. It is an area with high population density, yet harsh living condition. No modern infrastructure is provided while industrial and domestic waste and leaking oil is flowing right under their feet. Makoko people are confronted with great challenges from both outside and inside. The starting point of our strategy is the two major type of waste flowing in the lagos lagoon, which are oil and sawdust. At the beginning, sawdust is collected through a Multilayer device and packed into a module, which can work as oil absorbent. As the oil is absorbed, the modules can be recombined, part of which form water filters under the houses of the Makoko community, while the others can form floating bases for agriculture use. In this way, thousands of clean fish pond and planting box can be established to recover the agriculture and fishery industry. In the third phase, the community will gradually form several open spaces for waste collection, medical treatment, education and training, as well as trading. In conclusion, we are offering an idea to use one waste material to fight against the other one. During this process, we can create a resilient community providing ecological, economic and social benefit for Makoko.

Situated within premises of an obsolete steel factory in Shanghai, encompassed by polluted rivers and degraded soils, the site calls for a landscape renewal regime that transforms a derelict industrial site into an ecologically resilient university town through three thoughtful strategies to use on-site resources. The first strategy is to compensate the degraded nature by conducting soil and water remediation with a water treatment wetland, allowing site to be capable of tolerating future water contamination disasters. The proposed wetland contributes to remove the total amount of nitrogen up to 76.3%, to produce potable water for 25,000 people a day, and to meet 100% of water catchment requirement of a 100-year rainfall event. The second strategy is to recycle and reinforce existing soils to enhance biodiversity heterogeneity, allowing avian species to thrive and improve ecological resilience. 75.1% of the soils will be recycled to create new aggregations to increase the number of habitat type from 5 to 11 types including hillock forest and freshwater marches, which an increase of 26 avian species including endangered migrant birds. The last strategy is to activate social spaces such as sports facilities on newly created hills, walking trails along riverfront, and research facilities retrofitted into usable industrial warehouses. Resilient waterscapes are created through the use of transitional zones for both water and people, all in a bid for users to connect more closely with nature. Specific industrial relics were retained, transformed and to be amalgamated with the new landscape, as remembrance for future users

THE SHAPE OF WATER

India’s Cherrapunjee, which has the title of “the world’s rainy pole”, but the loss of precipitation makes it impossible for residents to guarantee even basic water use during the dry season. In response to this sharp contradiction, we set out from the original site, designed from the four aspects of water diversion, water storage, clean water, and water saving, and made a series of water facilities. Different forms of water are connected into one system to form a good water cycle. And hope to solve this problem of long- term ecological restoration and traditional farming patterns.

GREEN VALLEY ELASTIC ENDS

The valley landscape restoration plan is aimed at the problem of city shrinkage.The valley we choose is a typical landscape in Loess Plateau Region,it is just like the nerve endings in human brain. This city which has a thousand years history suffered badly from the environment damage caused by long-term coal mining. Just like hundreds of small cities of the mining area in the northwest of China. Our plan proposes a strategy to green the valley by developing the green infrastructure construction as well as implementing the ecological engineering. In addition, the project concept which reflects the local cultural features motivates the city vitality as well as brings economical benefits. Inspired by the â&#x20AC;&#x153;ancient wiseâ&#x20AC;?, our plan tries to build a complex system including water storage,efficient use as well as the soil erosion mitigation and reconstructed local biological community. After restoration,the coal mining pits become the gathering center for local people,where nature met culture again in harmony.

Dealing with challenges of global warming and future climate threats, the coastal landscape is at a vulnerable state. Falsterbo peninsula, located in south of Sweden, is facing sea level rise, flooding, and coastal erosion in the future. What is the most resilient approach in a longterm perspective? Should we integrate, protect or separate ourselves from the water? Archi-pelago describes an architect’s way of connecting islands, or in this case a series of tactics for coastal protections. The outcome of the project creates several opportunities to not only protecting us from the water, to see new possibilities to actually live with water or to use the water as a possibility. The proposal is based on tree design principles. Each principle constitutes of a number of tactics to be implemented of the site of Falsterbo peninsula, depending on the site’s conditions and character. The principles and tactics form together a coastal protection. The integrating approach aims to integrate a life where water is seen as a possibility rather than a problem or obstacle. This principle refers to solutions where you slowly adapt the society by “living with water” and integrate the changing coastal landscape. The protective approach aims to protect interest, for example economical interest, built-and natural environment or cultural heritage. The separating approach aims to separate and move away from the water with the purpose to protect certain interests. This could mean that buildings or even nature have to be relocated to safer grounds where the water can not reach.

OUR ANSWER IS ARCHI-PELAGO

Dealing with challenges of global warming and future climate threats, the coastal landscape is at a vulnerable state facing future extremes like flooding and sea level rise. With the contrasts between the romanticised view on the coastal landscape and the vulnerability due to water related events, how can we live with water? Or reverse, can we live with water? Falsterbo peninsula, located in south of Sweden, is at a vulnerable state facing sea level rise, flooding, and coastal erosion in the future. What is the most resilient approach in a long-term perspective? Should we integrate, protect or separate ourselves from the water?

SHELTER

Early in 2018, the blockbuster ocean storm, also known as the “bomb cyclone”, plastered America with blinding snow and sting winds. From North Caroline to Maine, many areas witnessed double-digit snowfall totals (Boston saw 13 inches). The storm made a massive effect on not only human beings but also nonhuman beings. Take sea turtles for instance, nearly 1000 sea turtles were trapped and rescued totally in this storm. While there are still many creatures being affected by the increasing extreme weathers day by day. In such a highly urbanized area, this time, we choose some sites of Boston to provide “flexible shelters” defeating the extremes better.We made designs to three types of places desperately. For the first type, we chose the extension of the main stem and put the biomimetic coral reef to provide habitats for ocean creatures, where the seaboard was severely hit and even to be corroded by the storm in the future. Besides, this structure weakens the wave effectively. The second mainly depends on one theory of breed aquatics, which helps to defend the fishes away from storm. We put some wind shields in the form of platform, thus providing space for both people and animals, especially the dying sea turtles. In the third design, we transferred hard concrete into eco-concrete in the hard wharf. By this, the habitat for both plants and shellfish is created. When disaster comes, besides human, disappearing animals also needs to be taken care specially.

FROM THE LAND

Establish a holistic planned grazing landscape system to reverse desertification in Hulunbuir Desertification is regarded as an earth cancer and there is a huge threat to the global environment. What is even more serious is that poverty leads to the more irrational use and exploitation of land and natural resources in the short term, and desertification and poverty are aggravating and creating a vicious cycle. China is one of the countries with the most serious land degradation in the world. Due to the overgrazing and unreasonable mining, the Hulunbuir City in Inner Mongolia has caused serious desertification, which has serious impacts on the local ecology, economy and society. In order to seek the coexistence of ecology and economy, we propose to use the most primitive nomadic activities on the site to reverse desertification. The program builds a holistic planned grazing landscape system from the ground, the surface to the ground by mimicking nature. The entire system forms a mutually supportive topology to improve stability in the planar space and three-dimensional space, in order to deal with the impact of external factors. In addition, the regeneration of pastoralism and the restoration of grassland ecology have improved the living environment of local residents and brought economic income. Finally, people continue their more vigorous vitality and ecological sustainability by natural gifts on the site.

ALTERNATIVES TO THE DAM

-RESHAPING THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN FLOOD AND INDIVIDUALS OF DHAKA

Most of the rivers in Bangladesh come from the Himalayas. In the past, temporary flood during the monsoon season would fertile soil and the water was regarded as treasure for the people. However the global warming have been caused the amount of snow in the Himalayas melt grows which has increased the frequency of flooding. Now the water has become the shadow of Bangladesh. The homeless rushed into Dhaka. The rapidly growing population, vicious urban expansion inevitably happened. Increasing dams have been built to protect the city.Besides, the decline of agriculture caused by flood has accelerated the development of industries at the expense of the environment. Flood as well as fragile Dhaka is worrying. Problems: We hope to implant a series of effective methods at the border area in Dhaka, if the dam no longer exists, which could enhance Dhakaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s resistance to flooding, and to resolve the ecological issues brought about by rapid urbanization and industrialization in Dhaka. The main features and innovations: First, select a protruding area which contains factories, green areas, residential areas and docks beside the River .The dam will be demolished and only preserved the traffic function.Then five methods will be coordinated to form an elastic system to reduce the impact of flood on the city step by step.Plus, we will also introduce water into farmland and fish ponds which contribute to reshape peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life before.

THE GREAT WEIR

In the process of rapid urbanization, many developing countries have enjoyed many benefits from environmental resources and have also encountered many crises. The destructive deforestation of peat swamp forests in Southeast Asia has caused many problems. Such as flood, large amount of CO2 emission, loss of biodiversity, haze and disease. Problem: Local residents farm palm oil on peat swamp forests to pursue better life. The main problem is how to balance environmental protection and economic development, to look a new way of development. We need to solve the ecological problems and explore new ways of land use. Specialty and innovation: We use weirs to solve almost all problems. First, blocking canal weirs could keep peat wet with the assistance of wells. Water management is the key point of peat restoration. It could reduce fire and CO2 emission. Also, it is the foundation of regeneration of peat swamp forest. Then weirs could help residents to develop new life stylesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;â&#x20AC;&#x201D;to carry forward the traditional fishery and the new oil microalgae culture which not only can perfectly adapted to the local environment but also is good oil palm industry alternatives. The last, weirs can be open space for local residents. We do our best to restore peat swamp forest and paint a longterm blueprint for development.

JAKARTA 2080: SYMBIOCITY SCENARIO What kind of development model would a city have to construct if it achieved the balance between urban development and natural succession? This design intends to construct a resilient city in southeast Asia, where it is most likely to be flooded with water over ten years. Jakarta is the capital city of Indonesia. Overexploitation of groundwater has led to severe land subsidence and approximately 40 percent of urban areas are below sea level. At the same time, rising sea levels caused by global warming has sped up the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sinking. In addition, surface water pollution and seasonal floods have also hindered the development of Jakarta. In order to deal with these problems, this design has attempted to put forward some suggestions. Firstly, people need to transfer their minds. Resilience concept reflects the tolerance of natural process and explores some methods to balance city development with nature. We use the DNA double helix to describe the relationship between the two, namely that they are indivisible and interdependent symbionts. Secondly, part of city space should be returned to nature and allow nature to grow. Meanwhile, Urban development should be a part of the natural process. Finally, building a salt-fresh water conversion system in Jakarta to deal with the seasonal flood, land subsidence and sea level rise in different stages.

Remediation of old industrial sites next to the river with natural plantings will establish a healthy ecological corridor from the new park site all the way to the river, and allow nature freedom in responding to future changes in climate.

ELASTIC SUCCESSION

The Bangladesh government plans to relocate all of its factories in Hazaribagh in a very short period of time because of serious pollution problem. The policy cannot solve local environmental problems rapidly and it will bring about unemployment of about 16,000 tanners. The area will be faced with environmental issues left by tanning activities and unemployment problems for a long time. From the perspective of the Elastic Landscape, a series of new problems have been brought about by the reduction of the source of interference. We hope to ease the situation that may exist in other regions through new models and increase the resistance and resilience of the site. We adopt a strategy named simulate secondary succession which applies the concept of secondary succession to the regeneration of regional industries Through the investigation and assessment of the site, we propose a planning strategy for the phased relocation of leather factories, and the orderly introduction of new industries based on jute agriculture during the relocation process. It makes unemployed workers can be involved in the whole construction activities from putting up to educating, which allows the renewal of sites and the differentiation of workersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; skills to proceed simultaneously. In the phased relocation strategy, our specific method: A. A rooftop nursery as a green reserve to implementing the introduction of crops and land remediation at the same time. B. Functional transformation of the core factory area. C.Multidimensional greenway combines with complete industrial chain. D.Organic differentiation of workersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; occupations.

THE DRAINAGE FILTER FOR THE EVERGLADES IMAGINING A NEW BASIN 8

IMAGINING A NEW BASIN 8

To deal with the pollution issue that pose impacts on Everglades water quality, this proposal provides a cost-efficient alternative and improvement to expensive treatment infrastructures in the Everglades. The increased filtration areas are planned on current and future available land. The transformation will happen firstly in public open space to construct the fundamental infrastructure, which also serves an education function to the private sectors who could follow incrementally to further improve the drainage filter system. The strategy doesn’t prohibit ranch-related activities which are the major pollution sources, and function of the original drainage system is maintained as well. In transforming current available lands, living quality is highly improved as we experience the aesthetic value of green infrastructure, which also needs collective efforts from people to help enhance the resilience of the proposed drainage filter system.

Everglades

With the urban developments, human activities degrades the ecosystem in the Everglades and brings many related issues. One of the issues is that: Water quality has been degraded in large parts of southern Florida by human activities that result in high nutrient concentrations and over-enrichment. Sources of nutrient enrichment of ground water in southern Florida include fertilizer application, storm-water runoff, and wastewater disposal. Nutrients such as nitrate and ammonia present in high concentrations in ground water may pose a threat to human health because most drinking water in southern Florida is from ground-water sources.

Due to the high concentration of nutrients in the Everglades, we have seen a growing trend of invasive species occupying the wetland which threatens the balance of its eco-system.

PHASE 1

The Everglades is a wetland preserve in Florida, USA. It provides unique values for local ecosystem and people in surrounding cities. However, with rapid urbanization in last century, the Everglades was artificially drained by canals to give way to increasing development. What used to be the Everglades has been transformed into part of our cities. In the process of urbanization, the water quality of the Everglades has been severely degraded by special industries (such as nursery and ranch) resulting in high nutrient concentration and over-enrichment. As a connected aquifer system, the pollution of the Everglades inversely influences the drinking source for the city. Government are paying tremendous bill for the purification of the Everglades. Intent and Strategy. To deal with the pollution issue that has posed high pressure on water quality, the main concept of this project is to increase the distance between the pollution sources and the Everglades which is calculated along drainage flow routes. Constructed wetlands, swales and vegetated buffers would be applied along the routes, which is an effective and economical alternative and improvement to current water treatment infrastructure in the Everglades.The proposed filtration areas are planned on current and future available land, and the function of the existing drainage system is maintained. The living quality is also improved by the aesthetic value of the landscape infrastructure, which encourages a bottom-up implementation of the resilient system.

Designed wetlands would quickly transform existing undeveloped or low valued lands into a highly efficient ‘filter‘ land, where perimeter landscape buffers increase length of the soft waterfront edges. By planting indicated species, the functionality of water treatment would be improved in these areas.

Right of ways permit operation to pass along a specific route through grounds or property belonging to another. In our proposal, they could be fully taken advantage of because of its public ownership and be utilized as a connection corridor that could convey water flow with high concentration of nutrients into our designated wetland filter area. In the meantime, horse trail along these corridors could be planned for tourists to experience in-situ ranch lifestyle to create more economic benefits.

The macro elements of nitrogen and phosphorus are contained in these products. They would remain in ground soil and stay in the top layer for a long time. Ultimately, they would be drained into canals directly with runoff and flow into the Everglades, threatening its sensitive ecosystems.

DISTANCE MATTERS: From Pollution Sources to the Everglades To deal with the pollution issue that has posed great pressure on water quality, the main concept of this project is to increase the distance between the pollution sources and the Everglades which is calculated along drainage flow routes. Constructed wetlands, swales and vegetated buffers would be applied along the routes, which is an effective and economical alternative and improvement to the water treatment infrastructure in the Everglades. The drainage filter system would improve water quality, since most of the suspended solids settle out in standing water and many of the nutrients, oil are filtered out as water moves through the soil. The increased filtration areas are planned on current and future available land. The function of the original drainage system is maintained. In constructing and transforming current available lands, living quality is also highly improved as aesthetic value of new landscape filter system.

We take this change as an important eco-experience possibility that makes it flexible and adaptable to future climatic challenges simultaneously. This implementation process could happen incrementally.

Extraordinary landscape can be achieved through the year viewing from inside of houses. It brings serenity, contemplation and meditation to your life. Thus, don’t hesitate to plant these eco-friendly and beautiful plants in your back yard!

Bearing in mind the fact that more people would settle in suburban areas in Broward County, to meet this expectation of future development, a new type of building not only provide more units but also adaptable to build in wetland area would come onto stage. It provides great views over the open space and it is fun to live in the wetlands. This would be a different experience for you to live in this highly naturalized place and feel proud to take these semi-public space as a bonus for your life.

RESILIENT SPREAD -ECOLOGICAL RESTORATION DESIGN ALONG THE QINGHAI-TIBET RAILWAY

The Qinghai-Tibet Railway, as a product of urbanization , resulting wave of construction, has created an irreversible crack in the land. This project is located in Golmud City, which is crossed by the Qinghai-Tibet Railway. It is in the initial stage of urbanization. However, there are degradation of pastures and desertification of land, the demand for urban expansion is increasing. Once serious natural disaster arrives, it will suffer major trauma and will be difficult to recover. We choose the most intensified areas of contradiction on both sides of the railway, with a view to softly intervening on the site through resilient means to make development ecologically secure. 2.Issues to be Addressed (1)Desertification (2)Recover ecologically by resilient means in a fragile environment (3)Take the economic benefits into account while reconstructing the landscape (4)Sustainable development of landscape ecology and resistance to unknown natural disasters 3.Main Features and Innovations (1)Using â&#x20AC;&#x153;root--branches--tipsâ&#x20AC;? as a prototype to organize a spread belt with expansion force centered on the railway, and a root-like retaining wall to achieve wind-blocking and sand-fixing (2) The use of fixed sandy soil for vegetation restoration and Tibetan medicine cultivation. There is elasticity cycle regulation between vegetation. Creatively proposes a dual landscape and economic recovery strategy for the sustainable development of agriculture, animal husbandry and medicine. (3)Focus not only on the current status of the site, but also anticipate the occurrence of desertification in the future to make it resilient. (4)The project has phase integrity and implementability, natural evolution and human participation combined to form an organism that is in harmony with the environment

BASIC INFORMATION NATURAL EFFECT ON CITY

Impermeable Material Coverage [1]

Wetland Lost [1]

Since the beginning of the industrial revolution, the urbanization process has been globally rocketed. On the one hand, the rapid accumulation of urban population and socialeconomic activities has caused great damage to our global ecosystem. On the other hand, hydrological, climatological, geophysical and meteorological disasters are the heavy prices that we human society has paid for. Among them, hydrological disasters are most frequent and closely related to human life. Different from traditional hydrological strategies, we encourage cities to use their original capacity from natural system to absorb the energy of natural disasters and transfer it into sustainable resources conducive to urban life. In this project, we chose Thamesmead (a London district built on original marshland that has been subject to flooding from the regional climate and River Thames for years) as a pilot project. By transforming the existing public spaces in the process of urban renewal and simulating the ecological structure of original marshlands, we could build a district-wide hydrological buffer system by accumulating all public spaces as a whole. This would also provide a multiple and diverse environment to bring people closer to nature. We hope that our concept can reverse the stereotype of how people deal with natural disasters around the world, and become an exemplary design method for addressing similar problems in the future. As a result, the symbiosis between human and nature is achieved.

JUST FOR PANDAS

- CREATING RESILIENT HABITATS FOR PANDAS IN SOUTHERN AREA OF MINSHAN MOUNTAINS

Most of the existing studies of resilient landscapes are aimed at a city, a society, or the resilience of human beings. However，our design, from the perspective of rare wild animals, takes the favorite pandas for example to create an resilient habitat for them ， we design just for pandas. Our design gets its innovativeness from creating resilience aiming at another subject ， in the prevention of disasters, resistance to disasters and the recovery these three aspects, we put forward various specific problems faced by pandas nowadays, and then from the study of the behavioral activities of the pandas, the building of suitable habitat and the reference as well as improvement of the national public garden system ， we also put forward the pertinent measures and suggestions. We believe that through this design, we can make use of the resilient landscape to create a resilient natural area for wild animals such as pandas, to minimize the impact of human and natural disasters, so as to achieve the protection of the pandas and to help its natural reproduction.

DISSOLVE THE FIRE

In December 2017, the Thomas Fire caused tremendous damage in California. Accordingly, we hope to create a resilient landscape between the natural forest and the cities to reduce losses. First, according to the Central Place Theory, we design three service radiuses from the first level to the third level. They establish fire control zones with different levels of intensity, which seem as buffer zones between cities and forests. Secondly, this program proposes three improved design based on different fire prevention strategies including intelligent planting devices, animal protection devices and water collection devices. Intelligent Planting Devices has a system of sowing seeds and a system of weather monitoring. Animal Protection Devices are set up near watershed which can attract animals to the refuge during different stages of wildfire. Water Collection Devices are distributed along seasonal river and can store seasonal rainwater, so it can provide water for both sides of the shelter forest. We hope this proposal will fill the gap in the existing fire preventive solutions.

Jiuzhaigou valley is a world heritage which survived a 7.0 earthquake in 08.08.2017.The wonderland was terrifily destoried,buildings was ruined and the roads were callasped by rockfall.Worst of all,many priceless natural landscape was also disappeared .After a series of analysis ranging from site to humanistic culture,we came out the solution 4R stratages(Relief Ready Response Recovery)to against the damage brought by earthquake. The new way aims to improve the road system,alarm system,recovery system as well as three different types of shelters in order to protect the natural environment and people. The shelters connected in series in the entire scenic area through the improved escape channel. Their different service scopes intersect with each other and eventually completely cover the entire scenic area.Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more,these shelters are not only shelters but also places which can provide local people,tourists various kinds of activies in normal days like restingă&#x20AC; .They are decorated with different landscape technique which makes it look like a emeral necklace in the wonderland. Another merit is using ziplines to connect two one-way roads isolated by mountains.In this way,we make the road form a loop system while do no harm to the nature. We want to protect this earthly paradise through the way which respect humane and nature, just make the emeral necklace a protector to the wonderland.

HEALTH + RESILIENT AGING COMMUNITY

The plan is based on the outbreak of Chinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s silver tsunami. With the most serious aging, and the most thorough family planning, there are a large number of one-child families in the traditional Lilong community located in the center of Shanghai is the object of study. Serious air pollution are caused by rapid urbanization . Pollutants in the air are carriers of the virus. Older people are susceptible, and the highly densely populated communities they live in are often surrounded by tall buildings. Poor ventilation conditions make it easy to accumulate large amounts of dust, which let lilong community become pathogenic space and cause the rapid spread of the disease, especially the outbreak of influenza,We urgently need to build resilient communities to deal with these risks so that they can maintain normal and healthy operations when the risks come. Before the influenza outbreak, the program encouraged the elderly to have healthy outdoor activities to increase their immunity. When influenza comes, program stopped pathogens and cut off dust transmission routes. We investigated regions where people are often active, designed space formed microclimate for activities, which can reduce the risk of susceptible populations being exposed to pathogenic space. the plan set the garden within garden which can help people recover according to the walking distance of the elderly, so that the community can quickly return to normal operating conditions and finally the city can quickly adapt to this demographic change and develop steadily.

THE EARTHENMIGHT

1. The Status The site is the largest reservoir in the Western Cape Town, South Africa. The water level of the reservoir has been gradually reduced Since 2013. It is conformed that the city will no longer be able to draw water from the reservoir and also become the world’s first water-cutting country. 2. Design Ideas The main causes of the reservoir drought: • The capacity of rainfall has decreased every year. • The water system of Cape Town has a simple structure and related to the reservoir. In addition, the terrain and vegetation also have a impact on the reservoir’s water storage. we consider a ecological and natural way to restore the reservoir’s water in order to fundamentally solve the problem. 3. The strategies The following three measures to improve the reservoir: • Earth landscape ①The reservoir is topographically modified to form a variable large number of water collection pits. ②To put a water collection tower on the pit to collect the water vapor and rainwater in the atmosphere; ③choose plants which can improve the soil at the bottom of the pit; • Collecting wells ①Using a water conservancy to make full use of groundwater resources; ②To set the valve system to balance the water volume. ③The water collected to supplement the reservoir and agricultural irrigation. •Activity space and vegetation choice ①the modular combined plates to provide different space for residents ②plant local vegetation species adapt to different habitats.

SPACE CHANGE TIME

The design plot is located in the Tajma region of Bolivia, where long-term monoculture of Coca (Coca is a raw material for cocaine and Bolivia is allowed to grow, but production of drugs is not allowed) has led to loss of soil fertility; in recent years,Coca has continued to expand its acreage. It also led to the expansion of the area of deforestation and caused soil erosion. We mainly propose solutions to the problems of soil fertility loss and soil erosion in the region. For the loss of soil fertility, we propose the filling of coke residue, crop rotation and intercropping, etc. For soil erosion, we propose a stepped catchment and solid soil, and a rainforest rhombus. Block cutting and so on. We also hope that through our measures, we can appropriately raise the standard of living of local residents.

It is about 1000m in length, varies in width and width, and has an average width of about 60m. Since the downstream is the Three Gorges Dam, Therefore, the water level in the four seasons changed significantly. The normal water level of 174 meters or less is a section where floods infringe more frequently and should be built in various forms. According to different types of sections, the design flood level and the current conditions will adopt corresponding transformation measures to activate the space under the bridge and strengthen the connection between the “under the bridge” and “waterfront”. As a typical landscape city, Chongqing has a unique mountainous terrain that has made its urban construction more difficult. The Riverside Viaduct solved the contradiction between the unique topography of mountainous cities and urban transportation, but brought many obstacles such as destroying the original riverside landscape and blocking the mountains. Continuation of the ecology, resulting in a large number of urban problems such as lost space, noise, and automobile exhaust. We activated the viaducts and surrounding sites through ecological rebanking, the installation of movable fishing platforms, the installation of solar guides, and a series of fun event spaces. At the same time, we ensured that the viaduct remained in an orderly manner after the opening of the community policy. , High security, and can use limited urban space to continue to serve people.

Our design is an ecological landscape designed for solving problems caused by mosquitoes in the Ngao River Basin,which is our design field.There are huge number of mosquitoes spread almost all over the chosen site,causing residents and livestocks infect with the virus and also influence the local economy.Therefore we are planning to build three defensive lines in ecological ways for local villages to resist the invasion of huge number of mosquitoes. The first line is in residents’area.We hope to reduce the low-lying environment of mosquito breeding by planning drainage system to drain away village sewage and rainwater emissions.We also design mosquito -repellent lamps,insects and plants and combine them with the local landscape,not only for mosquitorepellenting,but also for landscape viewing. The whole biological system can improve the hot and humid weather as well; the second line is in the field area.It is a combination of mosquito-repellent plants and local commercial crops,and also some mosquitorepellent insects to rich biological diversity;the third line is to build groves on the periphery of the residents’ area to bring in the wind , to reduce steam in the air. Through these strategies,we put mosquitoes into the villages as an entry point and set up three barriers for the invasion of mosquitoes, aiming at reducing the number of mosquitoes, improving the environment of villages and towns, and improving the economic development. Our aim is to enhance residents’ living quality,reduce the infection rate of different virus caused by mosquitoes and balance the mosquitoes’ quantities.Also improve the local economy through these three defensive lines.

The usual resilient landscape refers to the destruction of the original site due to the influence of natural or human activities ďź&#x152; which one could be repaired and constructed through artificial design. Project Introduction: We have chosen the University of Pennsylvania as an example to enhance the defensive and curative nature of the space or space through the landscape approach. To create a campus resilient landscape that is applicable to open blocks,in response to frequent incidents of violence.But in recent years,some parts of the world have witnessed frequent terrorist incident,causing numerous casualties.Therefore,in the spirit of peopleoriented,we hope to create a beautiful-healingdefense as one of the resilient landscape.

Extraction

Convey/Consume

The primary form of extraction in this area is fracking for natural gas, creating large well pads and phenomenal volumes of wastewater. Visitors can immerse themselves in a geothermal pool, heated with geothermal energy extracted by a converted former oil or gas drill site. The volume of water in the pool equates to the volume of wastewater returned to the surface over the lifetime of one natural gas well (Extract Geothermal Pool).

Extracted fuel is taken from the site to the point of refinement and consumption via pipelines that extend out across the landscape. Rather than screen the highway and associated fossil fuel consumption from view, the proposed highway crossing highlights these views, focusing the gaze of visitors (Convey Highway Crossing).

FRACTURE examines our complex relationships to residual energy landscapes in the north, framed primarily through the lens of the traveler. Focusing on the landscape along the Alaska Highway in northeastern British Columbia, this design re-envisions the “non-place” of the industrial roadside as a place of experiential connection, highlighting the heavily fragmented boreal forest left behind by decades of intensive resource extraction. FRACTURE draws the public into the narrative, tracing back to the initial byproduct of this extraction: seismic exploration lines. With projected recovery times of over 100 years in sensitive ecosystems, these lines have a monumental impact. As we look toward a future that embraces new forms of energy, this project encourages a reimagining of the transfigured landscape, exploring novel ways in which industry and public use can co-exist while working toward landscape recovery. From a geothermal pool that is heated by repurposing existing oil and natural gas wells, to an observation tower that reveals the monumental extent of the fragmented landscape, FRACTURE invites visitors to consider their own relationship to the energy they consume in their everyday lives. Test plots are proposed for both the upland and lowland areas of the site, enabling researchers to explore methods for improving seismic line recovery, including planting black spruce seedlings and fireweed. By providing a testing ground for management techniques, and an opportunity for visitors to engage with a landscape they have typically been excluded from, FRACTURE works to spark dialogue and critical thinking about the future of energy and rural landscapes.

Site Inventory + Analysis The complex nature of northern energy landscapes led to a detailed site inventory and analysis process that looked at multiple landscape scales. This started with the entire Alaska Highway Corridor, stretching over 2200 kilometers from Dawson Creek in British Columbia, through Yukon, and terminating at Delta Junction in Alaska. The most concentrated area of oil and gas production along the corridor is in the Peace River Regional District (PRRD), which was mapped in detail. From there, a contextual site was defined based on the pacing of travel along the Alaska Highway, and a natural stopping point for travellers. Finally, a project site was defined by a significant legacy seismic line that formed a strong axis with the highway corridor. VEGETATION FIGURE/GROUND

EVIL'S GOLD

The Kawah Ijen volcano has gradually become the representative of the regional volcano culture of Java based on its magnificent volcanic landscape and precious mineral resources. However, the highly acid lakes with pH value of 0.5 in the crater make it like the evilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gold. In 1921, a dam was built to regulate permeation but failed, unexpectedly highly acid Banyupait-Banyuputih River formed. This river destroyed the ecological environment, threatened peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s safety, and caused great pressure to the economic industries. Our design is to construct a natural-circulation, sustainable-adaptation and multi-functional pond landscape system around BanyupaitBanyuputih River which can respect nature, protect ecological environment and play economic benefits. This system respect nature by retaining the symbol and activity of the volcano, and injecting new vitality for its development. Meanwhile, it will neatly deal with various activities of volcano by using local agricultural wastes and topographic catchment to help realize the neutralization and dilution process in the highly acid Banyupait-Banyuputih River, thus forming stable natural ecological environment. The pond landscape system will also promote diverse and organic industrial structure to create greater economic by integrating agriculture, planting and tourism. In the future, we wish the pond landscape system will take the initiative to create more positive benefits, addressing abroad range of safe, history, ecology and economy, thus promoting the sustainable common development of human and environment.

INDUSTRIAL METABOLISM

The project is located in Wuxi, China, Wuxi is a traditional industrial city, because of over-reliance on industrial survival, resulting in two canals and the adjacent Taihu Lake has received varying degrees of pollution. Through in-depth investigation, I found that in recent years Wuxiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s High-tech electronics industry has developed rapidly, and the government is also interested in vigorously develop the electronics industry, while closing some heavy polluting factories. Wuxi will vigorously develop High-tech electronics industry in the next 20 years. Also, I found that the peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s demand for High-tech industries is also getting higher, but Wuxi is a city resident population has been lost, although vigorously develop High-tech industries, but can not retain Hightech industry talent. Above all, a key aspect of my concept has been to attached to the existing high-tech electronics industry, and create a tech town circle with ecological benefits to replace the original polluting industries. At the same time, it is hoped that through these new high-tech towns, we can absorb the surplus labor force due to the shutdown of polluting factories. So these tech towns can through industrial metabolism to have more resilience to meet the needs of people and nature.

RELIVE AND ALIVE A SCHEME FOR NATIVE TO CONVERT E-WASTE In social ecosystem, resilience refers to the adaptability, transformability and sustainability create d by local residents, which can be used to solve disturbance arisen with social development. Accompanying the unprecedented advancement that the third industrial revolution and globaliz ation have brought to society is the dumping of E-waste. As a consequence, certainc social e cosystems are seriously undermined. The site, a scrapyard named Agbogbloshie, is located in Accra, Ghana, Africa. Due to the conflic t between its value and threat, E-waste has given rise to various problems such as environmental p ollution, energy scarcity, diseases and so forth in Agobogbloshie, however it create a relatively i ndependent community. This proposal formulates some strategies to help residents build a community. Residents, as the cor e of the community system, use E-waste to establish a resilient community system. The proposal pr eserve the site’s original spatial structure and plans to update it gradually. The schemes have f our parts: E-waste recycling and knowledge center, phytomining and environmental restoration, rene wal of living spaces, and the introduction of tourism and other new industries. The objectives are a s follows: 1. Recycle E-waste to improve the livelihood of local community; 2. Increase the resid ents’ income; 3. Restore the ecological environment in the long run. 4. In the future, it will beco me an electronic knowledge center to demonstrate the harmonious relationship between people an d electronic products and finally awaken people’s awareness of environmental protection and recyc ling E-waste.

ALIVE SANDBAR

Kirzlesu River is located on the edge of Kashgar City, northwestern China. The most significant feature of the overall environment is “sandy” : sand in wind and in water constantly threaten the river ecosystem and the urban environment. Especially during the annual flood season, floods carrying large amounts of sand continue to wash the riverbed, making the sandbar constantly changing, and therefore unable to cultivate plants, resulting in a very fragile ecosystem. This design draws on local traditional wisdom to improve the environment by shaping the platform. In addition to flood protection embankment, a sediment storage dam at an angel of 45°is added. Fluid dynamics simulations show that it can create extremely low velocity water area. Therefore, sand settle, resulting in a relatively stable growth trend of sandbars. In this context, the vegetation structure will continue to be enriched, enhancing the stability and resilience of the ecosystem. Besides the sand in water, we design a number of windbreak against the sand in wind, forming many leeward zones inside and outside the river, which is suitable for plant growth. In general, this design addresses the sand in the environment, including sand in wind and in river, and proposes corresponding design strategies: resist and absorb disturbances, transforming flood from a negative disaster into a positive influence. Ultimately, the river ecosystem is developing positively, achieving “revolutionary resilience” and providing a stable landscape recreation space for the city.

SILENCE RECREATION CONTINUE This is a design on the subject of silence·recre ation·continue，which is located in Hechuan District, Chongqing, China, with a site area of approximately 115.6 hectares. Hechuan District is an area under the jurisdiction of Chongqing Municipality and is located in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River and northwest of Chongqing City lying at the junction of the three rivers of the Jialing River, Qujiang River, and Fu River. Each year, the Jialing River flood peak passes through Hechuan, bringing with it severe seasonal floods and causing local Water pollution, soil erosion, and reduced biodiversity，which has greatly affected the development of regional economy. Based on the above issues, we have adopted a series of measures to manage flooding. We use the principle of loop flow to achieve automatic diversion, automatic adjustment of water flow and automatic sand removal, ensuring that the site does not collapse in the rainy season. Sedimentation of silt at the bottom of the river also can be used to develop the sand transportation and sale industry to achieve industrial circulation. With the solution of the flood problem, a series of issues on the site will be resolved, and the biodiversity of the site will gradually increase. At the same time, it will also promote the development of agriculture and tourism, making the regional economy develop rapidly.

ONE DAY, ONE LIFE

With the massive influx of refugees into Germany, German society is facing tremendous pressure from all quarters. Due to huge language and cultural differences and different social issues, the refugee generation is unpopular and even rejected by the locals. Some of them have to protest or violence. Demonstration to seek social status, the integration of the refugee generation and Germany has become difficult. The future of the second generation of refugees is very confused. Therefore, we decided to start from the perspective of children by easing the relationship between refugee children and local children, thus bringing together the refugee groups. The design was unfolded slowly through the day of the refugee children. Through the transformation of the old walls, the organization of the communication between the two regions, the creation of under-forest space, the creation of communitysharing space, and other major measures, the refugees were originally isolated outside the city. The incommunicable forest belt has become a space for refugees to integrate into the local cities. This â&#x20AC;&#x153;Berlin Wallâ&#x20AC;? may have new meanings. In the end, a flexible cycle of culture and mind will be formed to return the children to a beautiful childhood.

TEMPERATURE SENSITIVE MARKET

The whole world is facing the problems of urbanization and extreme high temperature. The project is located in Wuhan, one of Chinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s four hottest city, and is an open-air building materials market. This project studies how to transform the site by means of landscape, so as to cope with extreme hot weather elastically. The scheme is designed to solve the problems of insufficient space, vitality lacked space, air pollution, shortage of energy, heat island effect and other problems caused by vehicle exhaust, industrial dust, extreme high temperature, and vehicle-pedestrian mixed traffic. On the spatial dimension, the four layer stereoscopic ecosystem is constructed; on the time dimension, the elastic strategy to cope with extreme heat is proposed and the natural succession of the time process is simulated.

Communities within Wiang Nong Lom Basin take advantage of the productive landscape. The communitues ,in the early settlement time, have adapted their living to the natural dynamic of the basin. The commuities have their own traditional land-use plans. The hill teracse is suitable for agricultural field, the floodplain is where they can do rice production and fisheries. Within the limitation of natural resources,they have traditional knowledge to get along with the landscape dynamic in different seasons. In wet season (Aug-Dec) with the highest water level they can not do agriculture as much as other season, but they can find plenty of immigrant fishes along the river and flooded area. In dry season (Jan-Apr) the water level is gradually decreasing, fishes still can be found in the river and drainign flooded area. Local forest foraging can be done all year.

Local government has constructed roads, retention ponds and a flood gate to serve industrial intensive agricultural practices, regardless of the natural landscape. Thus, these industrial changes lead to biodiversity loss and landscape degradation. The project’s objective is to recreate healthier watershed for community stability and food security. In adapting the water management and ecological service restoration, Landscape Designs is, therefore, divided into three stages. The first stage begins with reconnecting water flows into the basin and creating Riparian Buffer Forest; this stage involves the use of traditional knowledge focusing on water management. The second stage proposes rotation agricultural land use. The final stage is to redesign community social spaces. This project brings about positive changes in ways of living for the locals as well as creates balances between the community and the environment in collaboration with multidisciplinary teams of the government and the communities. With bright prospect of this initiative, Wiang Nong Lom community will be able to live sustainable lives.

ECOLOGICAL SERVICE

From these water sources, they create the hydrological dynamics in site in different seasons.

Maekok River

Wiang Nong Lom, the intermountain basin in Chiang Rai, Thailand, is an important natural resource with evidence of human settlements since pre-historic era. The livelihood of Wiang Nong Lom was based on landscape dynamics. This site is a seasonally intermountain floodplain under the influence of Maelua River, a tributary of Mekong River. The community lifestyles have changed to serve Chiang Rai urbanization and industrial development. The season-based traditional agriculture and fishery has evolved into industrial mono-crop agriculture.

RESILIENT COASTAL HABITAT FOR REFUGEES This competition is focused on Lampedusa, Italy, which used to be famous for its beautiful coastal scenery, but in recent years, because of its geographical location, a tide of refugees came to the island as a stopover for the entry of Europe, caused five major problems on the island, such as ecological carrying capacity crisis, inadequate capacity crisis in urban infrastructure, food supply crisis, water shortage and garbage pollution. In order to prevent, alleviate and adapt to the problems caused by the uncertainty and elasticity of the refugee tide, five design strategies are proposed: 1.building replicable marine modules in the sea space to increase the use of the refugees; 2.on the module, set up floating residence on the basis of the number of refugees; 3.increases elastic planting bed and breeding ponds to get the source of food on the island; 4. rainwater collection and seawater purification; 5. recycling waste material on the island to build a variety of devices. At the same time, because of the constant change in the number of refugees, all kinds of devices can be duplicated and removable, and the ecological, social and economic balance on the island is maintained. In the process of refugee tide and refugee migration, the ecological, social and economic balance of the island is maintained from the change of living, self-sufficiency to ecotourism, and the design model can deal with the coming of the next refugee tide.

TICK TACK

“Tick Tack:Let the space of cultural exchange be spread like the ripples created by water, droplets by injecting constantly changing and renewing elastic communication veins into the village.” The project is located in Xiaozhou village, Guangzhou, Guangdong province, China, an ancient village with Lingnan water features. But Xiaozhou village is too crowded to build a special space for communication..What’s more the local population is mixed with the floating population, and there is a lack of opportunities to communicate with each other. We take Xiaozhou village as an example to explore the flexible development of cultural exchange of Urban Village in the rapid urbanization process.And the space of cultural communication will be implanted with the diffusion of point - line - plane..To develop the village culture flexibly and adaptively for community mobility by building landscape space which affects community relationship lastingly.

TRIPLE HELIX RIVER MANAGEMENT IN THE LANJIANG As an ancient city, the rise and fall of Lanch’i was because of river. Its flood problem could be alleviated through the design of Tricolor Helix. The Green Helix: Firstly, the overflow area that was part of river’s natural drainage capacity before, which dies down gradually because of the block of hard damming. The design is using the floodplain effect of the river bend to take up the deluge, which to lighten the pressure of the riverway. Secondly, recover river in city as well as farmland area, and to build landscape banks with cascade wetland along the riverside to reinstate its water-holding capacity, as well as improving the landscape environment. Meanwhile, fully utilize the nutrient wetland after flood receded, to develop self-sufficient urban agriculture through replantation industry of the riverside exploitation. The Blue Helix: we decide to solve the problem by the repairation of damaged lake that close to the river, and try to increase the number of new lakes. Furthermore, we take full advantage of the lake’s water-holding capacity to accomplish the shunted design. From blocking the flood to obtain the flood, as well as absorb and utilize with it. The Gray Helix: enhancing the power of water percolation of urban rainfall and adopt the principle of rainfall circulation; which bring about the function of water storage and filtration to the landscape planting.

BON VOYAGE

The Samburu county, which is located in the northeast Kenya, is a semi-desert district with clear dividing line between rainy seasons and dry seasons. The Samburu people have lived with a nomadic lifestyle which they have traditionally held to be superior compared to the agricultural lifestyle. They migrate with following the water and pasture. However, the extremely climate changes in recent years is making the district become dryer in dry season. This makes the massive reduction of available water and pasture. Meanwhile, the population explosion is putting heavier survival pressure on both Samburu people and their livestock. As a result, the severe drought occurred in Kenya in the early 2017 have caused millions of people suffer in hydropenia, starvation and death. We raised doubts that the traditional Samburu nomadic strategy and technique cannot resolve the problem. We choose one of their nomadic areas with a radius of 20 kilometers, which contains habitat in both rainy seasons and dry seasons as our site. In both habitat, we use new strategy of water managing, planting, living quality improvement. In the same time, we addressed the innovations such as new singing well form, new public space in Manyatta, etc. The goal of this project is to improve the living quality of Samburu people and to help them resist local environmental threats, especially severe drought.

THE ADAPTIVE CITY

This project aims to conceptualize and articulate the adaptive city, the city in a state of flux as it responds to changing environmental, programmatic, market, and sociocultural conditions and circumstances in Boston. The project places emphasis on the contingent, the provisional, and the conditional, and to amplify productive instabilities while inventing new types of urban and landscape form. Landscape offers a distinct starting point for the project of city making. On the one hand, landscape has the ability to address and integrate the multiple environmental, infrastructural, social, and scalar challenges at play in urban design. Furthermore, it can also uniquely absorb and hybridize these multiple functions and initiatives in ways that architectureor planning alone cannot. On the other hand, landscape offers operational frameworks and modes of working that emphasize dynamics, change, and improvisation/adaptation-mechanisms that are as much in play in ecosystems as they are in cities. Consequently, my project will use landscape both as medium and as mechanism for testing and prototyping ideas on city making. Rather than understanding them as opposites, it will emphasize connections and hybridizations of urban systems and environmental dynamics. And it will utilize working methodologies that privilege experimentation and iterative modeling-playful and critical prototyping-that could suggest pathways toward new landscape-based approaches to urban form.

LIVING ON THE TREMBLING EARTH

In the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake, the disaster ruinously struck the mountain town Yingxiu. It was the deadliest earthquake hit China since , which damaged 87.5% of the construction and 72.3% of the total population was injured. The devastating destructive force of the disaster almost brought the whole town to death in a flash. Now, a decade has passed, the town which had almost been razed to the ground was rebuilt at the very original location. However, the basic environment of new town is still unstable, and the possibility of serious geological disasters is still remained. We must consider that if such catastrophe hit again whether our living environment has enough resilience to survive form the crisis. For this goal, we hope to create a unique landscape geologic emergency tackle system witch can instantly response to geological hazard and play a long-term significant role after the catastrophe. We analyzed the basic elements contained by the regional environment, city and landscape. And we redefined the relationship among the various elements from the perspective of coping with geological disasters. Based on the time line after disaster took place, we set up a landscape system which has the resilience to cope with the different task of emergency disaster avoidance, building up lifelines, city reconstruction and landscape restoration.

RITUAL REMEDIATION A SPECULATIVE ATLAS

RITUAL REMEDIATION A SPECULATIVE ATLAS The speculative atlas is an open-sourced guide to an uncertain future. It is the catalyst for grass-roots action and the progenitor of a new resilience. This atlas serves as a roadmap of possibilities by which communities, designers, governments, and institutions can navigate the unpredictable future in real time. Sea level is the datum by which ritual is organized around, not inhibited by. This project responds to the threat of sea level rise in the communities embedded in the marshes of the New Jersey Meadowlands. The atlas is intended to sustain, prolong, and provoke the social infrastructure of the Meadowlands through a series of phases and designed interventions, catalyzing community action and imagination.

IGNITING COMMUNITY IMAGINATION

POVERTY DISTRIBUTION

COMMUNITY PARTNERS

Through distinct insertions and ambiguous provocations about life in the future Meadowlands, we encourage community members to fill in the blanks, writing and enacting their own stories based on our initial excitation. Unfolding in small moments or over decades, these interventions generate a proliferation of futures for the Meadowlands, grown in the generative incubator of rich community dialogue, housed in mascots, prophecies, landmarks, and legends, and engaged with through the practice of everyday rituals. We argue that resiliency and adaptation in the face of climate change cannot be accomplished without the imagination of the communities affected. Through this project we intend to provoke the larger conversation surrounding sea level riseâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;currently dominated by a language of fearâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;by providing this tool for imagining a future of possibility and hopefulness in an uncertain future.

- USE THE ECOLOGICAL LANDSCAPE BALANCE TO SOLVE SOCIAL PROBLEMS IN SLUM

This design mainly uses landscape design to solve the problem of toilet in Mumbai slums, and a series of problems caused by the problem of toilet, which is the original purpose of our design. The concept of the ecological toilet is put forward in this landscape design, and the concept of ecological recycling is applied to the toilet, which solves the problems of sanitary environment, energy supply and social crime around the slums, and provides a better and more comfortable living environment for the slums! At the same time, we have made full use of the economic benefits of the landscape, making the ecological toilets a tourist attraction, creating a different and special tourist environment for tourists. It can not only make the tourists feel the real life of the slums, but also give the tourists a different view angle. Through this landscape transformation, we hope that the lives of the poor will become better and better. I hope they have a home of their own.

RECOVER AND ALIVE

On August 8,2010,ususually intense monsoon rains triggered devastating landsides and floods that buried a densely populated area in the center of the city in Zhouqu County,Gansu. To reduce disasters and improve the economy,We propose four strategies to solve the problem.1.The introduction of three systems leads the place into a vibrant one in order to reproduce the former landscape, finally ensuring local residents can live a more diversified life with spiritual fulfillment that the working-day of them stretches from dawn to dusk.2.Building a favorable compound system of agriculture, forestry and animal husbandry, changing the original economic structure aimed at developing agriculture, and then improving the land use patterns, reducing the risk of natural disasters, can enable the development of regional economy into a virtuous cycle.3.Setting up a virtuous ecological water cycle can accommodate sufficient rainwater in the rainy season. 4.Founding better debris flow prevention and restoration of forests systems, changing the existing land use condition, and gradually improving the security of residential areas, can eventually help inhabitants get complete rid of the invasion of debris flow.

THE PATH TO SHAMBALA

The project is located in Seda County, Ganzi Prefecture, Sichuan Province, China. The area features Buddhist culture as the main feature. The Larung Buddhist Academy in Seda is the world’s largest Tibetan Buddhist Institute and tens of thousands of Buddhist come to practice. Due to the site topography and location restrictions, the construction of the shacks is disorderly, with less infrastructure and poor environment, which has seriously affected the daily life of the shackles. We analyze the daily needs of Buddhist, and in the context of respecting local religious customs, we must solve the problems of Buddhists’lives and improve their living environment in the form of multi-functional integrated corridors. While building the corridors, we will upgrade the infrastructure and buildings, and the use of water bodies. By implementing the multi-functionality of the corridors, more possibilities will be given to the venues. The project name is “The path to Shambala”. “Shambala” is a transliteration of the Tibetan language, meaning the ideal Pure Land, intended to express the hope that it can bring a good spiritual environment for Buddhist. Based on the unique terrain of the site this feature, we set part of the corridor space on the roof and use the house room under the corridor as indoor public facilities space. This is our innovation. In this way, the idle space of the site is activated, the vitality of the public space is enhanced, and the multi-functional integration of ecology,life,production,and economy is achieved, thereby achieving the purpose of a virtuous circle.

EDGE ISOMORPHISM

Rapid urbanization and regional imbalanced construction have led to the emergence of “urban villages” in mainland China. This dense and messy area is the only place in the city where it can be “updated” with its own continuous evolution. People won’t willing to live in such a poor environ-ment in the future. So a decent solution is desperately in need. However, what we need to do is not to reinvent and design on a colossal scale, but to engage in this evolution by tapping into it. Problems and developments at different times have led to the requirement for different environments. If we reconstruct a part of it, the edges of the updated and unupdated zones will be produced. The edge between these two zones will form the elastic space of urban development. Elastic landscape keeps asking the city and people what is the future we want?

SALVATION OF DISASSEMBLY

Facing the theme of this competition, our understanding focuses on the contradiction between economic development and ecological environment.Past the backward economic development model for local ecological environment has brought a lot of negative effects, how to use human intervention to assist, using the natural self-regulation for environment of selfimprovement, achieve the goal of â&#x20AC;&#x153;elasticâ&#x20AC;?. Alang is contaminated with long coastlines and has a wide spread of pollution,making it difficult to achieve purification through machanical collection and filtration.The daily tides make the coast water level more than 9 meters up and down. Simply planting along the coast will not play an effective role. First of all, through the plant will reduce pollutants concentration to a certain value, then introduce the microorganism, formed plants and soil microorganism repair system, the effect of the pollutant concentration is low, remove microorganisms, repair plant, introduced a lot of, formation of plant community, finally reaches the final decomposition of pollution.

There is a large variety of wetland habitat types found around the world and each supports their own community of plant and animal species. In addition to terrestrial and aquatic life, birds also find wetlands to be welcoming places for pit stops during long migrations because they provide protection and food on their long journeys.

Qinsha has experienced different stages of development before. According to the deduction, Qinsha will connect with a shoal in the northwest and they will eventually become part of the urban land, which means there would be no habitat for migratory birds and aquatic animals.

Solution

The evolution of Qinsha Island endangers the survival of wetland species. Meanwhile, it brings new development opportunities. Flooded Level

Building devices to intercept soil brought by Xijaing River so that they will become small islands over the time. These islands contribute in preventing wetland soil from getting wash away.

URBAN REGENERATION

- DESIGN OF RESIDENTIAL ENVIRONMENT IN HAIKOU CENTERED ON WATERLOGGING PROBLEMS

Haikou is located in Hainan Province, the southernmost city in China. Haikou is rich in tropical resources and a city with beautiful coastal scenery. Beautiful natural resources are the foundation for the vigorous development of Haikouâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tourism industry. With the rapid development of economy and the rapid upgrading of urbanization, the natural resources of Haikou are being destroyed, resulting in the imbalance of natural hydrological cycle system. The main city is located on the northern surface with low topography. Once there is a rainstorm, the whole cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rainwater flows through different channels to the main urban area. When rainfall exceeds the carrying capacity of the river, it will cause waterlogging in the main urban area. And, the decentralized green space in Haikou did not form a complete system. So, in the face of waterlogging, these green spaces are not very effective. However, scattered green space is also not conducive to public outdoor activities. Therefore, there are several problems that need to be solved: restoration of the natural hydrological cycle system, alleviating the problem of waterlogging and establishing a systematic urban green space. The theme of the project is urban regeneration. The main characteristic and innovation point is to consider the problem of waterlogging from the perspective of urban design. While alleviating urban waterlogging, it can promote the economic development of the city and enhance the living environment of the city.

RETURN TO THE SOURCE

Sakai was once a flourishing merchant city with a moat and a trade port. However, the city seems to have lost its splendor with the disappearance of a moat. This proposal is not a narrative of a glorious post-disaster recovery but rather a story of “returning to the source” to regain the city’s resilience. Eco-tanks under the park Underground water tanks built under the original location of the moat recruit and store excess stormwater and river water in case of flood disasters. while it also acts as a drainage control system to quickly drain flood water in the event of tsunami. Stormwater and river water are stored and used to create the water and green landscape in the park and street. A greenway to enhance walkability, onnectivity and community activity The road is rearranged to provide space for a wide range of community activities. The sidewalk is widened with a cycle lane as the dividers were removed. The greenway is an ideal space for street markets, various events, small local business. Its green screens with sprinkling water provide shading effect and water-retentive pavement keep the city cool. The greenway connects major touristic attractions in the area. This development plan aims to improve the physical environment of the city as well as the social aspect of it to foster strong local community and commerce activity. The city will rise once again and regein its strength and resilience as a center of commerce and industry.

The conflict of Syria is still not completely settled, there are 6.5 million people are facing severe hunger, severe drought led to desertification and sandstorm further exacerbating the food crisis, also make the conflict more acute, loss of animal husbandry and infrastructure damage conflict has caused a lot of food production, millions of people have been displaced, and the valley of despair. The Syrian crisis is the result of a combination of climate, food and conflict. The Euphrates river straddles Iraq and Syria, and the damage from conflict and climate change affects both Syria and Iraq. So why not unite? The sandstorm weather has been used to make use of sand traps and wind turbines. It also plans to carry out soil improvement and grain planting in the corresponding industrial cycle. The semi-underground space formed by the sand storms is supported by the tombstones of the two countriesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; wars. It has become a refuge, a frontier market, a seed museum, a Syrian agricultural research center, a granary, and finally an emotional and productive suture.

POSTWAR ELASTIC SCHOOL The decades-long conflict in the GAZA Strip continues today, as does the problem of children. The environment in which children grow up has always been so bad that it destroys their growth, which is equivalent to destroying the local future generation. SOCIAL FACTORS: The cause of religion and nationality. Religious; Geographical location and conflict of interests; In Gaza Strip, there were more than 3 million 80 thousand people in 2018. POST-WAR RESILIENCE: Slow infrastructure recovery; Poor flexibility and Single function. School construction is restricted by more conditions, School repair time is longer after damage; Heart repair. The key is to let children return to school, because they need to overcome their psychological trauma urgently, and only school education can cure their minds. SPECIFIC CHARACTERISTICS: Children with physical disabilities.; Mentally handicapped children. Focusing on the education of children in wartorn countries in the Middle East, the resilience landscape focuses on the speed of rehabilitation of school infrastructure and the psychological rehabilitation of children after war.

IN BETWEEN LANDSCAPE TOWARDS INCLUSIVE COMMUNITY OF MEILAN LAKE NEW TOWN As result of the modernization process and the large-scale development of new town in recent years, the traditional landscape has been completely changed. Large amount of agriculture land was transformed to be residential in new town development, leaving land use of industrial surrounded at the edge area. The local identity is overpowered and there is potential to restore the sense of place by learning from neighbourhood landscapes of surrounded old town. Landscape fragmentations such as blocking water network and the loss of habitats are obvious. Nature resource is overused due to the massive housing and industrial development. There is potential to restore the ecological functions though incorporating the larger ecological network. Inspired by the dynamic old town, the main concept of design is to create resilient landscape that could provide multiecological functions, more interactions between local residents and nature as well as have high productivity for local food supply and economic benefits. Design Innovations: 1. Retrofitting the Waterways and Create Water Recycling System through the restoration and naturalization of canal. 2. Connecting High Ecological Vegetation Patches and Creating Dynamic Habitats for Wildlife by relinking water network and re-inhabiting forest patches.3. Building sense of placement by learning from traditional neighbourhood landscape through the transformation of new programmes.

A WATER ABSORBING BANK

The cities in inland African countries are all short of water. The existence of the Niger River gives the city the space for survival and development. The capital of Niger, “Niamey”, its name also means the “riverbank where mothers draw water”. It shows the importance of water resources to the lives of Niamey residents. However, there are on average two small scale floods once a year and average every 10 years flood threatens people’s life, production activities and impact natural ecological balance. One aspect is the shortage of water resources, the other is the flooding of the river year after year. The main intention of the design is to solve this contradiction. Our project’s title “A WATER ABSORBING BANK” is a good embodiment of our guiding ideology. We want to buffer and use of flood through absorbing and accepting the flood, and to guide the local residents to expand the paradigm spontaneously throught the functional planning of the site.

THE VILLAGE LANDSCAPE POND LANDSCAPE SYSTEM DESIGN IN HUANGPEN VILLAGE In China, ancient villages are facing a double crisis. Firstly, the natural disaster. Secondly, the threat to the cultural protection of ancient villages in urbanization. Reducing the impacts of the disaster and saving cultural memory is important in the protection of material and spiritual assets. Huangpen Village is a historical village with amounts of characters. First, the urbanization has accelerated which makes village surrounded by cities. Second, because of the location nearby the Yangtze River, the village suffers from a long rainy season. The huge amount of rainfall constitutes a threat with the flood disaster. Third, it is the home of Wong Tai Sin culture which has huge cultural value and attracts many tourists. We want to intervene with the pond which is not only a symbol of the spiritual culture but also an indispensable daily facility for local. However, the pond is abandoned or rarely used in Huangpen Village. Therefore, we are redesigning the ponds to focus on the culture and life again. Afterwards, the public spaces around the ponds are designed to transform, set up corridors and finally connect with the riverside. To evoke the cultural sense of the residents, the cultural spirit of the place is highlighted by setting up a planting area for â&#x20AC;&#x153;Daisiesâ&#x20AC;? and a platform for activities.

TRANSCENDENCE PRODUCTIVE LANDSCAPE ACROSS BOUNDARIES Transcendence is a design process model that builds social capital and resilience using productive landscape as a medium to transcend existing boundaries of informal urban residential neighbourhoods in Bangalore. The selected site was chosen for its high social complexity and poor infrastructure condition, serving as a microcosm of the general living condition in Hebbal. This project adopts landscape strategies integrated with local resources, expertise and management to tackle adverse issues faced by the citizens. By aligning various productive landscapes integrated with waste management flow, design interventions link houses to the streetscape, the project accomplishes this through three strategies: 1. Streetscape productive landscape tactics responding towards walkability and water management issues. 2. Proposed communal and productive zoning according to the existing site social characteristics. 3. Improve citizensâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; ideals of waste and ownership of their environment through proposed programs. Serving as a design model applicable to other areas of Hebbal, the project challenges communities to shift from social segregation to a resilient neighbourhood that transcends obstacles and boundaries as one community.

GREEN CELLS

The design is conceived as a cellular tissue that consists of several cells. Each cell has its own function to make the whole system work. And wuhan city is just like a big cell tissue, it consists of multiple cells, including construction, landscaping, roads, parks, water, etc., and is one part of the problem, the reflection to the whole environment. At present, the “waterlogging” in wuhan has created a huge problem, which brings many inconvenience and harm to people’s life. And by improving that. Start by improving its “cells”. Is to improve the building and building space, between the park and community afforestation, water, etc., increasing water storage building a “rainwater harvesting to regulate” even more, so as to improve the surrounding environment, use in the form of more, landscape, increase afforestation, to strengthen water, form an integral part of the organic ecological environment.

GEOSOCIAL FIELDS

This diploma project constitutes a study on the forces which form and affect Santorini’s landscape, aiming to understand and incorporate them into the design process. The study focusses on an area south of Fira, on the front of the volcano’s caldera, where five inactive mines of theraic earth lie, cut off from their surroundings (area: 860.000 m² and height: 10 - 70 m). The research method began by analysing the area’s peculiarities due to cumulative geomorphological, political economic and social forces and their evolution through time. The study and its mapping led to a deep understanding of the situation: the area is today a hybrid complex landscape, result of the interaction between the natural elements and the human-made activities (agriculture, industry, constructions, tourism). The project’ s systemic analysis and synthesis is based on (i) digital explanatory diagrams (ii) description in layers of the structural systems (iii) 2D and 3D landscape plans and mapping (iv) representation in 3D printed physical models. New spatial compositional tools, functional programs and ecological actions are proposed as an holistic design strategy preserving at the same time the unique characteristics of this impressing landscape. The proposal aims to the creation of an integrated open public space, designed to host cultural, recreational events and research programs. The proposal’s objective is to activate the site and construct a new vivid landscape, as well as to promote alternative forms of tourism and prolong the island ‘s touristic season.

REMEDIATED LANDSCAPE FROM NEGLECT TO VALUE This area of Shanghai, Qilian area, has been agricultural for centuries. However, with the population growth the environmental pollution has become even more serious since a large number of factories in the urban area were relocated to this area over the last 40 years. Now this area will be redeveloped according to future planning of Shanghai government. The issue for this area is how to transfer the contaminated site into livable environment. The project aims to treat the contamination in site and re-use them for the new development. The first strategy is the phase development of remediation, which will be employed to deal with the contamination of soil and water during the process of transformation. In the first phase, the heavily polluted soil will be classified. In the second phase, three ways of soil remediation including capping, stabilization and washing will be applied. In the third phase, wetlands will be constructed to purify water by using the washed soil and stabilized soil will be recycled for construction material. The second strategy is integrating nature into dense new development. Fragmented green patches and waterway in site which has the potential to connect new development and the existing large green corridors will be reserved. Intervention of green and blue will integrate them.

WORKING TOGETHER WITH WATER Climate is full of uncertainties. The frequency of rainstorms in Japan is getting higher and higher. The typhoon that should have been generated near the equator but moving northward, and the scale is also likely to expand. According to the analysis of the Japanese topography and flood risk, different stages of strategic design for dangerous river areas are conducted, and the “eco-patch” designed is used as the main concatenation concept, centering on climate adaptation strategies, public space and ecological restoration, and other issues in the dynamic process. Natural, human and climate change are coordinated with minimization of earthworks. The selected base river spans the region from the forest to the city. Respect rivers’ natural forces, harness land, and use urban space to mitigate flooding. The flood should not be regarded as a disaster that needs man’s resistance, but a “natural change” that can co-exist with people; only by coexisting with the floodwaters and restoring the original flood storage capacity of the river, it can be possible to dissolve people and nature. The more serious the conflict, the less catastrophic it brings. Climate change is not necessarily a drag on the economy, but an opportunity to change and make the country more resilient to the city. The “eco-patch” design is a measure that “will be used later”. These measures not only help the society handle the current climate, but also use it for future climate response.

GAINING NEW PERSPECTIVES

The selected site is part of Dahanu “taluka” (administrative district), which is the lung of the surrounding highly polluted and urbanised cities of Maharashtra and Gujarat states, India. This area is thus particularly important by virtue of its location, and its rich natural resource base needs protection. 65 % of its population consists of the indigenous Warli tribals, who live in small hamlets dotting the foothills of the forested Western Ghats range (tropical moist-deciduous teakwood forest). Most practice subsistence paddy cultivation and are increasingly looking to towns for supporting incomes. Moreover, their age-old, close associations with the forest as its beneficiaries and stewards are slowly disappearing under the ripple effects of rapid surrounding urbanisation. The proposal strives for ecological security + economic development through experiential design – to build an inherent resilience within this rural landscape & its people to sustain their environment friendly traditions whilst making economic progress too, thus dealing with the pressures of urbanisation in a productive way. This is proposed through a system that’d revitalise the mutually beneficial relationship between the Warlis and their forest. It’d comprise of 3 components: (1) Productive Forest Fringe: Social forestry on fringe, to prevent degradation of deep forest due to over-exploitation (2) Supporting Haat Area: A local market for the social forestry harvest & related products. (3) Connecting Cycle Trail: Minimal interventions along this route attempting to direct attention to the landscape & cultural values that are on the cusp of change, which could lead to meaningful reflection for the observer.

WHERE CITY MEETS THE WATER

After centuries of urban development encroaching upon Shanghaiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shoreline, time has come to weave water back into the urban fabric of Shanghai. In recent years, Shanghai has been disturbed by storm surge and faced with the risk of sea-level rising. In order to confront with extreme weather and minimize the loss, this project proposes water distribution areas in the upper stream of Huangpu River and three types of flood control system. Designed flood storage areas can flood new terrestrial zones, with flooding functioning as one of design operations utilized to establish new waterfront neighborhoods. Two different prototypes provide efficient ways to help the city resurrects when faced with storm surge or typhoon. One emphasizes the reaction to the waterfront in urban land, the other focuses on the rural area. Designed terrain and construction, combined with features of water functions, provide the city with safety insurance and natural and artificial activity space.

REACTION BETWEEN DISASTERS Saltwater tide is a natural disaster frequently occurring in coastal areas. When the freshwater flow is insufficient, the brackish and fresh water mixing causes the upstream river water to become salty, that is, the saltwater tide. The main harm of salty tide is to affect the industrial and agricultural production and destroy biodiversity. We selected the design site in the Shangbiandan Reef area of Shanghai, China, where there are two natural disasters of salty tide and flood, And two kinds of disasters occur in different seasons. Therefore, in the design, we hope to break the uneven distribution of the time and space of the flood and the salty tide by the means of the resilient landscape, and prolong the residence time of the flood in the area affected by the salty tide, which is combined with the characteristics of the sandbar growth in the bottom of water. Fresh water collected and preserved will interact with saltwater in winter to alleviate the negative effects of disasters. The design through the least artificial intervention to control the changes in the shape of the sandbar in the water, and introduce the concept of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ecological Gridâ&#x20AC;?, and divide the site into different areas, such as water drainage area, water storage area, culture area and so on. For a long time in the future, the sandbar will continue to grow and form an ecological wetland with the functions of ecology, education, and more adaptive ability to the disaster.

THE UNDERGROUND GREAT WALL

ECOLOGICAL RESTORATION BASED ON KARES Our site selection is located in the Central Turpan Basin in Xinjiang, China. It is in the southwest of Flaming Mountain , the north of Lake Aiding. Half of the area is desert and the desert gradually erodes the oases. The drought is very serious. Problems: The reduction of ground water resultes in the reduction of Kares , and the decrease of Kares also reduces the collection and storage of ground water. The reduction of the Kares exacerbates the degradation of the oases , and the degradation of the oasis also indirectly leads to the reduction of the Kares well. The space around the Kares well is single, resulting in the Kares well not integrating well into peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lives. Concepts: Use kares to solve the problem of desertification from both ecological and human aspects. Ecology: Solve the problem of local water and oasis reduction. Human: Solve the problem of single space around Kares. Our understanding of Resilient Landscape :Through these measures, the baseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s water will increase, the number of oasis will increase, and the interaction between Kares and people will improve.

REBIRTH IN FLOOD RESILIENT MEASURES TO COEXIST WITH FLOOD IN URBANIZATION Seasonal floods in the Mekong River have led to varying degrees of damage to the surrounding cities. We choose can tho in Vietnam as a typical example. Due to the flat terrain, the floods caused by seasonal rainfall directly impede the urbanization of the city. We choose three points that are the most affected by flood in three different areas of urbanization development as nodes. Adopt flexible strategy to enable flood into the region while still adapting to the development of urbanization. The specific measures cover 1：flood storage in wasteland；floating house in flood zone,flood storage in wasteland 2：flood relif box & store soil；buffer forest & new dewelling,flood relief box & store soil. 3：land prepare for urbanization；resilient farming & land prepare for unrbanization. We hope problems can be solved by all the solutions that we raised in our images.

REBIRTH OF BAY

The site is located in the north-west of Hainan Province, China named as Danzhou Bay. The reason why we chose it is that the bay is considered as a classical example. Meanwhile, it has the salt land as its historical natural resource. The salt land stands for thousand years along with the traditional reproduction of salt. However, with the rapid development of the urbanization, construction of city facilities, harbors and sea-crossing bridge all affect the reproduction, biodiversity and self-defense ability of natural. These devastations will not only destroy the salt land or farmland but also threat the whole environment. Therefore, by observing the topological structure in the normal way we saw a hint in it. It can be used in our site only when we combined the phenomenon with the structure. We called it the resilient structure rooted on the topology. The attractive thing about it is that this structure helps the habitats in the site become more stable and feel more protective. It offers more possibilities for the whole defense system which is more than the habitatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s self-defending mechanism. By pushing this structure, we are safely arriving to the possible conclusion. We predicted that the site will stand less than 40 years at first, however, it will stand more than 80 years after implementing this structure. We are looking forward to the continuous of the magnificent sceneries in the bay.

ANCIENT PERSIAN RESILIENCY SOLUTIONS IN MODERN URBAN LANDSCAPE OF YAZD, IRAN The project is located in the city of Yazd, Iran. With 2000 years of civilization, Yazd is among the oldest cities in Iran. It has a brilliant heritage of identity, history and culture. And it is recognized as a world heritage site by UNESCO. Unfortunately, nowadays, Yazd is meeting with several challenges such as extreme drought, heat and dust hazes. Which were getting worse during last years, as well as biodiversity loss and earthquake which have converted into national challenges too. Some of these challenges are not new, they have been there for thousands of years. Because of generations of adaptations to its desert surroundings, Yazd has a unique Persian architecture. It is nicknamed the “City of Windcatchers”. Although Yazd used to be resilient to extreme conditions of drought and heat for centuries, most of its resiliency solutions have not been used any more, since last century, when the modern agriculture and architecture went prevalent. Since most of Iran’s territory has arid and semi-arid climate, Persian gardens are also good examples of making areas resilient to extreme heat and drought. In this project we have investigated the history of Yazd as well as Persian traditional gardening in order to find traditional resiliency solutions for them. Then we tried to design a landscape project based on mentioned solutions to make it resilient to extreme conditions.

FLOOD CURE DROUGHT

-THE WATER SENSITIVE URBAN DESIGN IN QINGDAO The site is located in downtown Qingdao, one of the most water-scarce cities in China, Shandong Province. In recent years, due to global warming and its unique hilly terrain, Qingdao has faced severe flood condition, especially in the lowlying areas of city centre. However, the dried reservoirs showed that it is urgent to solve the problem of water resources shortage. Thus, the Flood Cure Drought plan aims to reform the surrounding environment of Haibo River, which is the only one located in the downtown area, and solve the crisis of water resource shortage through the Trinity Structure of River-Street-Roof According to various types of land, such as residential, commercial and industrial lands, we divided the whole riverway into four sections with three main functions. In this plan, transformations of river, street and roof are carried out to improve the retention, infiltration and storage capacity of rain water. And after filtration and purification, it can be used for drinking and irrigation. Above all, the final goal is to improve the efficiency of rain water utilization and alleviate the water shortage problem while some effective measures are taken to release the huge burden of urban drainage.

THE LIFE-NET

Widely distributed coastal peatlands around Palembang, Indonesia have amount of carbon accumulation recognized as an important part of “the carbon sink of the earth”, while 95 percent of them are already degraded. Resent years in dry seasons, massive fires are burning throughout the region, exploding “carbon bomb” that has GHGs (CO2 and N2O) global implications, the loss of regional land resilience and serious local residents survival problems, which are the result of poor land use practices including drainage, deforestation and slash-and-burn cultivation. Furthermore, the peatland lose the ability to absorb carbon dioxide, retain water, produce foods and provide habitat for local animals. This creates “the vicious circle of peatland utilization”.1 Based on the hydro-logical conditions, production-living styles and local habitats analyses, the authors build a resilient water-net system working in both rain and dry seasons. In the first place, this system ensures that the peatlands are keeping wet full year. Secondly, it helps to provide sustainable harvests from wet and rewetted peatlands under conditions that maintain the peat body, facilitate peat accumulation and sustain the ecosystem services associated with natural peat-rain forests. Thirdly, it helps stop peat oxidation and simultaneously provide sustainable income increasing activities like rain forests tourism and trades of special agricultural products. Comprehensive problems of the site is solved by a moderate landscape architectural way which using natural powers through the resilient water-net system to create a hopeful and vivifying future peatland.

FROM BROWN FIELD TO BLUE FIELD - PERIURBAN RESERVOIR UPSTREAM RESTORATION

Qinglonghu is a reservoir located in the southwest suburb of Beijing. In recent years, with the large-scale development around the reservoir, it has led to a series of problems such as groundwater pollution, ecological destruction, and agricultural economic decline, and the resilience of the region is gradually lost,leading to higher risk of flooding. On July 21, 2012, a heavy rainstorm attacked Beijing, which caused heavy casualties and property losses. Among them, Qinglonghu was one of the worst affected areas. The disaster resulted in 5 deaths, 32000 victims and an economic loss of about 200 million yuan. In order to avoid the recurrence of disasters, how to manage and transform the water system and restore the resilience of the landscape in this area is our primary concern. We plan to restore the upstream of the reservoir through three strategies. 1. Collect purify and recharge groundwater at source area by terraced wetland system, and this could reduce the risk of mountain flood and debris flow. 2. Restore natural form of the channelized river, and improve the adaptability and resistance of different types of landscape by setting different types of revetment, floating farmland and fruit base fish ponds. 3. Built wetlands around reservoir inlet to restore damaged natural habitats and increase biodiversity. We hope that through these strategies, we can restore the resilience of the landscape and create a safe and livable environment.

As it’s situated in the river meander with low natural levee, the pre-harvest floods causehuge losses to the agriculture almost every year. Also, the farmland away from the river bank is facing the problem of irrigation in the dry season. Therefore, the goal of this design is to combine flood protection, imigation pattems improvement and rice fish farming development, and to transform flood threats into the advantages of resilient agriculture by apply polder model. Polder is a piece of land protected from water by a system of dams and dikes and within which the water level can be regulated. Within the polder, the ditches and drains between the strips of land, carry the water to the bigger watercourses through which it flows to the pumping station. In this way excess water is removed through the sluice or by a pump into the river directly.

THE SHAPE OF WATER

The vacant village produced by Chinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s urbanization process has become one of the thorniest problems in the rural remolding policy. In the design. The Shengshou Village is chosen as our research object, where the problems of water and soil pollution, waste of land resource and low utilization of riverside belt exist. With the purpose of activating the resilience of eco-social system of the mentioned village, the design proposes a plan to recover the resilience of water system, adjust cross-scale rural residential area, construct green infrastructure network and reconstruct the flood prevention embankment based on the interdisciplinary considerations. Adaptive cycle of resilience of eco-social system, Cross-scale Effect and transformability. The implementation of the design comprise three stages: This first stage is committed to repairing water and soil pollution, and recovering bio-diversity in the mentioned village through establishing concentrated residential area and three-layer purification system (combining farmland, wetland riverside belt). The second stage centers on ecosystem improvements and landscape formation, during which the construction of green infrastructure is begun and village residential area and riverside belt area is connected for the purpose of providing humans and animals with nonmotorized traffic system. Meanwhile, diversified landscape space is shaped through the development of commercial crops in accordance with local characteristics.

Water is the core of the problem.To mobilize all social strata in the system construction of ecological wetland，with the help of irreconcilable contradictions between the local residents' vital interests and the income of the illegal aliens, realize the the strong maintenance and management of the late system. At the same time, through the political influence of the upper managers and the support of the lower managers, the whole system is formed from the bottom up.

Before building sluices on the five rivers and the upper Yangtze river: Wet season:The Yangtze river to poyang lake: top - to - and inverted - irrigation to raise the water level of poyang lake.The total flow rate of five rivers to poyang lake from April to june is the largest. Dry season:Poyang lake continues to flow to the Yangtze river, and the water level of poyang lake decreases. After building sluices on the five rivers and the upper Yangtze river: The water level in the lake area of poyang lake was uplifted from January. to june to facilitate production and living.but in Octobor ,The reservoir impoundment is the beginning of the dry period of poyang lake basin,The reservoir impoundment speeds up the water level in poyang lake.It makes poyang lake dry season ahead of time.

industry runis

The precipitation characteristics of poyang lake in normal years: Precipitation increased rapidly from January to June.Heavy precipitation is concentrated in April to June.Peak rainfall in June.In July, precipitation fell sharply, and the months continued to fall, reaching a minimum in October. Because of global warming.The amount of evapotranspiration from July to October was greater than that of precipitation in recent years.As a result, the drought in the poyang lake basin will be brought forward to August to September, and in a certain extent, the dry period is advanced and the deadline is extended.

The big bubbles connect the lake and the tributaries of poyang lake and separate from the waters of poyang lake. The big bubble is connected with the surrounding small bubble to form a relatively independent storage system. It is also planned as a “15-year plan” to “return farmland to the lake” from the area of water. At the same time, we fully consider the industrial and economic problems of the dry period, and construct different wetland landscapes in combination with different environment.

The industrial development

We using elastic design to create ecological landscape and human activities under different water level conditions.Drive the local economy and give priority to the development of tertiary industry.During the flood period, the wetland meets the surface of poyang lake.During the dry period, the wetland is separated from the surface of poyang lake.Bare beach can be used as the activity space of tourists.

Indusrial ruins for education: We using elatic design to create education of landscape.The preservation of old industrial sites and sand mining sites has played a role of urban education environment.In the design of three types of wetlands, they made the least change.By means of incomplete design, the present situation of dry water is presented to the educated.

Field dominated by the aquaculture industry:

Before 2007 the number of sand mining ships is increasing obviously.Affected by the ordinance,the number of dredging ships decreased significantly in 2008 and 2009. But it is driven by high profits in the sand mining industry.The phenomenon of theft is widespread, and the number of dredging ships increased in 2010.

In poyang lake sand mining behavior significantly change the morphology of poyang lake, especially into the rivers that dig deep excavation width, increase the water cross section area, make the same water level of poyang lake water injection rate is accelerated, to a certain extent,the dry period of poyang lake in autumn and winter has been advanced and extended.

Five years of survey can be used to establish relatively tiny surrounding the Poyang lake wetland are,in the form of a basement-patch-corridor backstepping,on the premise of established corridor rich tiny patches to expand the influence of the whole, and to push forward fisheries aquaculture enhance manual for maintenance and management of wetland, and increase the economic income of nursing managers.Under the premise of development and stability to the implementation of the further development of relevant industrial chain of the third industry.

We using elatic design to create aquaculture industry landscape.The extension of the dry period will seriously affect the fishermen's interests.We have designed some small wetlands as separate cages for fish farms.It has improved the existing problems of dry water and surrounding fishermen. It also allows agriculture and fisheries to develop at the same time, which indirectly inhibits the overcultivation of farmland.

LIQUIFY THE SYSTEM FROM THE FOG

In the past fifty years, the fast urbanization have impelled a rapid vicissitude of the urban space form in Latin America, particularly the peripheral and vacant land of cities invaded by the poor migrants. These informal settlements have complex social implications and play an important role in defining the economy, spatial growth and evolution of many cities. Meanwhile, they are serious threatens comprising sanitation, legal, physical, aesthetical and environmental problems, while there is still a possibility of regulating them to trigger positive urban changes to tackle the lack of affordable housing and infrastructure in particular distressed conditions. The project is in San Juan de Miraflores, a barriada located in the west southern of LimaPeru, and it is isolated by “wall of shame” from affluent neighborhood. The purpose of the project is to explore a community organization triggered by a unit facility which can boost the upgrading capacity of the barriadas and to turn them into less vulnerable , more resilient and more environmentally-oriented places. The unit facility consists of two parts—— the fog collector and the biogas producer. It can solves the infrastructure problems in this area step by step, and benefits multi-field exchanges between subsystems of urban area. Ultimately, the wall as the epitome of the conflict between two subsystems of the urban system will be dissolved.

GROWING FORTIFICATION FOR SANTA ROSA The number and scale of WUI has been growing in California for decades as a result of urban sprawl.Residential, public buildings and activity sites continue to encroach on the forest boundary along the road.The forest near the city is being destroyed.In recent years, the increasingly severe forest fires have caused WUI to continue to be engulfed by flames, and the safety of residentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; life and property is under unprecedented threat. The program is based on northern Santa Rosa county, California. It aims at finding a new balance between human essential activities and the conservation of forest ecology. This design will be divided into four phases. First of all, in the face of the fact that WUI is difficult to move in a short period of time, various landscape methods are combined with multidisciplinary methods to protect the existing WUIs. Then, move out of all WUIs and gradually restore the damaged ecology. By the third stage, all protection measures will be fully matured, and the site where WUI is located will be transformed into various event spaces and commercial lands.In the end, Fire-fighting forest belts and primary forests evolve into forests dominated by broad-leaved trees.Most of the WUI migrate to the periphery of the city, most of the land is returned to the forest, and a small portion is left as a country park.

Wet-dry marsh dynamic reclamation: Local life resource, Nhongdae wetland, Udonthani city, Thailand Local community way of life intertwined with goods and products from natural wetland dynamics. Wetland degradation occurred throughout Thailand north-eastern region due to rapid urban expansion threaten and changed local communities. “Nhongdae” is one of the degraded wetland in the fringe of Udonthani, rapidly developing province in North-eastern Thailand. This site is a shallow basin, seasonal freshwater marsh, which is dominant type of wetland scatter in the region. This highly productive landscape is influenced by dynamic of water level. It is a natural storm water catchment area and became a 3-4 months lake in rainy season, dry out and became utilizable land in drought season. The wet-dry landscape characters provided biodiversity richness and lift of the land benefits for local community. Nhongdae was excavated by local government in attempt to turn the wetland in to water retention basin. The wetland thus loss natural water dynamics, the water level has changes drastically and can no longer provide support for local communities. To reclaim the wetland the project studied hydrological pattern and proposed water flow management to mimicked that of the natural. Reintroduced the wet-dry edge highly productive landscape dynamic. These two major efforts are to revive the wetland. For a natural element to last and stay function in the ever-expanding city is to make people realized the values. Education trails and water adaptive recreation area were designed according to the natural dynamic.

To reclaim the wetland the project studied hydrological pattern and proposed water ow management to mimicked that of the natural. Reintroduced the wet-dry edge highly productive landscape dynamic. These two major efforts are to revive the wetland. For a natural element to last and stay function in the ever-expanding city is to make people realized the values. Education trails and water adaptive recreation area were designed according to the natural dynamic.

PAIN POINT THE GROWTH AND RENEWAL OF RESTORATIVE The project is located in Weihe, Shaanxi Province, China. It originated in bird rat mountain in Weiyuan County, Gansu Province, and was injected into the Yellow River in Tongguan County, Shaanxi province. In recent years, the ecological system of the Weihe basin, which has been developing socioeconomic and growing, is facing the problems of water, water, water pollution and so on, which seriously affects the development of ecology and economy. Therefore, we should take a step by step strategy for the current situation of Weihe basin. In the Baoji section of the upper reaches of Weihe in Shaanxi, the water pollution is aggravated, the drainage is used as a wetland landscape, and the biodepressions are detained in the low-lying land, and the ecological landscape of the human and biofriendly Weihe is made；In the middle reaches of Xi’an, the level of population urbanization is high and the riverfront landscape along the river is taken as an ecological green corridor in Xi’an city；In the lower reaches of Weihe, the terrain is flat and open, making the urban farm landscape and giving play to the role of Weihe’s additional agricultural products. The effects of different stages of Weihe in the next twenty years are viewed from the overall planning, the river beach diversity treatment, the analysis of the bank profile and the reutilization of the sediment.

Rural vitalization is currently a central issue in China, with relevant policies coming out, large amount of capital is being accumulated and many forces of design are involved. Though that rural reformation has become a fashion, we are more concerned about some essential issues such as ecology, industries, community vitality, as well as the resilience and applicability of theories of landscape when dealing with these issues. We constructed an environmental system which involves all kinds of spatial elements in order to build up an interconnected and elastic net of practical strategies. The location in our design proposal is Fangkou Village, Zhangjiakou City, Hebei Province, China. Though that China’s implemented policy of returning farmland to forest has efficiently slowed down the process of desertification and soil erosion, the uncircumspect implementation in Fangkou village has overturned its original industries in the meantime. As a result, population of Fangkou is aging at 100 percent and the economy is in recession. Constant forestation makes the ecosystem vulnerable and many species are extinguishing. With additional causes like declination of groundwater level and poor soil, Fangkou has become a member of China’s “declining villages”. This village never encounters natural disasters, and it has nothing special compared to any others, however, this ordinariness exactly reflects essential and nationwide problems, which are unavoidable and exactly what we have to fight against.

The design site is located in Fangkou Village, Zhangjiakou City, Hebei Province, China.The village has received attention after the “Rural vitalization” policy was introduced. However, like most of the existing villages in China, it has no characteristics, no big disasters but problems in all aspects.It’s unavoidable and exactly we have to fight against.In the face of problems left over by history and prospects for the future, we cut through three aspects: ecology, economy, and community vitality. We have constructed a system that derives secondary directions in three major directions, and at the same time, these directions are intertwined. The abundant and resilient network has enhanced the vitality and sustainability of the village, and at the same time it has also provided a possibility, a model that can spread and spread.

The water system The combination of water and plant soil characteristics forms an interwoven network. First of all, according to the gis analysis of the mountain catchment line, contact the village situation, obtained four key water storage points.

Light factory

Among the plants we selected, the plants with strong soil and soil ability were selected. Under the premise of topographic analysis, the natural network was formed by reasonable distribution of plants in the mountains.

Theatre&The big well

The ecological restoration needs long-term detection, research and cultivations, so a micro ecological research center has been set up in the village.

After the restoration of agricultural and fruit industry, it should bring higher income to peasant farmers. The light processing factory set up at the entrance of the main roads can extend the industrial chain and provide jobs to raise the living standards.

The original puddle has dried up in the village. While recovering its original functions, we also inject new vitality into it to re-plan its functions so that it becomes an open theater and evoke the place spirit.

The ecological restoration makes tourism develop well. The hilltop house has better accommodation and viewing experience. Meanwhile, the water tower built at high elevation can make full use of water’s pressure to irrigate or for emergency use. The two combination can create rich height differences and spatial variations.

WILD PARADISE OF THE ISLAND

Wild paradise landscape proposal is mainly mangroves conservation project. But at the same time, it will make the path to interact human and nature together. My intention is to offer close up memorable experience with nature and provides enriching nature based experiences for visitors. Madhuwa is an extraordinary island situated in Sri Lanka. It has dense mangroves population. The primary object of this project is to conserve the mangrove and aware people about the value of mangrove conservation. Aim to design a landscape by help of ecotourism practices, which are proceeding today as well. Present ecotourism practice is doing by the village people as their occupation. By observations, it is evident that those ecotourism practices were disorganized. According to those facts, a first intention was to conserve the mangrove ecosystem by using sustainable ecotourism practices, so that have studied furthermore about the mangrove wetland. Thoughts about mainly landscape design by interacting visitors with the migration birds, Animals and underwater fauna and other who live around the mangrove wetland. Based on that is proposed to implement there are four significant programs in the island according to its geography. Those are the wet walkway, dry walkway, Canopy Walkway, observation towers and cages. Aim to give an excellent experience to visitors by interacting all biodiversity together.

SYMBIOTIC -CITY

Deforestation is one of the current issues in Indonesia. There are many causes of this problem. The population is one of them. From the past 10 years, Indonesia population keep increasing. When cities become over-populated, the human has a tendency to expand their footprint horizontally and indirectly, it affects wildlifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s living system. Their footprint becomes smaller and smaller. This is the reason why extinction is a very common issue in Indonesia. Based on the research of World Wildlife Fund, The forest of Sumatra is home to some of the world rarest wildlife and plant species. The Land-conflict between Human and wildlife is a common issue as well since two of the creatures need to expand themselves and the one that always. Being in a disadvantaged position is wildlife since they cannot express their mind. In order to tackle this problem, the only way is to coexist human with wildlife (Nature). Symbiotic-City is a new living system between Human-Wildlife(Nature) that challenges the current way of living that has a tendency to isolate human with wildlife. The design strategy is to minimize the current footprint of the city which is very dense into 4 Super-Tower and let the wildlife penetrate through the city By doing so, nature (Wildlife) is automatically being restored without affecting the human living system since human expansion shift from horizontal expansion toward the vertical expansion. This design allows two of them to expand themselves freely and equally.

NATURE OF PLACE

This project is concentrated on how multisensory experiences could be infused in the urbanised community of Singapore. Aimed to investigate distinctive possibilities to create an association between the busy and unstimulating environment of Orchard Road with a selfrediscovery journey through the human senses in serene spaces. Directing them through framing, materiality and geometry without signs or any explanations to evoke their senses and the idea of interest which incites a desire for users to investigate the space through their instincts from various sections focuses and close with a meeting ground for individuals of various beliefs to share a contemplative space. The point of the imagined space is meld human desire with the current nature in setting and for them to recognize the change in involvement prior and then afterward. The proposed design is an urban sanctuary which would help back off the rapid stream of circulation between Orchard road and Dhoby Ghaut, sustain the spiritual and physical prosperity of individuals and introduce reforestation to the site to help cool down the urban heat.

GREEN LUNGS

The ‘Green Lungs’ project is a project that focuses on bringing back the memory, heritage and biodiversity of the swamp land into urban areas while also creating a sustainable environment by having dense plantations to help purify the dirty water that is currently flowing through the river. Through this project, we hope to change the mindset of the people on how they interact with the water and also bring the people closer to the river. Being called the ‘Lung’ the wetland is a place of constant action. With the different tides throughout the days and years, the wetland provides varies activities for different users to interact with at different timings. The wetland consists of a playground, an amphitheater, a learning hub and also an exciting nature walk. When users cross the bridge from the other side of the river, they will be greeted by the learning hub. The learning hub is the main feature where the users will be able to walk around and learn the various types of plant species that has been used to help purify the water. Additionally, once abandoned warehouse that is near the area is converted into an event space where people can gather and enjoy various events by opening the front portion of the warehouse and adding an amphitheater where the events will be held.

Sitting Area

The problem of this site there are too many stairs and it’s very unfriendly for disabled people and elderly and it is a space no one use it. Also, because residential over there are complain the stairs are too much. So I want my design combine the stairs and ramps together. Stairs is for direct accessibility and for people who running out of time. Ramps is for people who use wheelchair and is the way to bring people into the project. Let this empty space become a public space to invite visitors of any age.

LEGEND:

My site is located in Dhoby Ghaut. Around my site got many shopping malls and schools, behind my site is residents area. Due to this location, many people take my site as a shortcut. There is a shortcut with 138 stairs, but this shortcut not always open for the public. So I want to use this slope space to create a shortcut for the public all the time. Also, let people who live in the surrounding to participate in their space.

NATURE LINK

The study of Raffles Place evaluates the site is mainly occupied by offices and inadequately designed park which appears to be unused. Thus, one can see that throughout the time, the site is getting hotter due to the deficiency of greenery along the area. Nature Link is a recreational space which targeted mainly the office workers, for the reason of people will certainly be working at an exotic locations in the foreseeable future due to technological advance. Singapore is a rapidly developed country, hence it craves more commercial activities to grow. In result, forests are replaced by buildings and skyscrapers. Eventually, the overall countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s temperature is increasing every year, even though Singapore is a green city. The main concept of this design is to insert a tropical rainforest underground in the CBD area with a simple reason. Underground has lower temperature and rainforests are often called the lungs of the planet for their role in producing oxygen, recreate a habitat for flora and fauna, and other benefits. Compared to a generic park, a tropical rainforest has an advantage of lower average temperature due to multiple layers of softscapes. Furthermore, it also has the potential of developing a complex ecosystem interlinking animals and plants together. Eventually, tropical rainforest is an ideal strategy to reduce the temperature in urban areas, while also mending the damaged ecosystem caused by deforestation, urbanisation, and global warming. Nature Link will be a space to bring people closer to nature.

NEO BIFROST

The purpose of the project is dedicated in designing and construct a connection system which connects the massive individual blocks in Gang Xia village. By using this connection system, the whole site would be seemed as a complete residential site rather than individual blocks that were randomly been putted together. By inserting rooftop gardens and activities areas, this system also aims to solve the site problems such as lack of greenery, public space and private area. On the other hand, this project also aims to encourage the migrant workers whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the main residents in Gang Xia village to be more outdoor active and stricken the community bounding. As those migrant workers were mostly preferring stay indoor during their free time, these action would not only reduce their monthly expenses on electricity and internet fees, but also provide them an echo friendly and healthier lifestyle. The design language of the project includes the original site language which is the straight and harsh edge lines, this would be seen as an extension of the site structure itself. However, a curved and organic language were added into the design as well, it aims to soften the site language and also creates turnings which put the rooftop limited space in full use and allow user to experience the space in a different way.

ODYSESSY

Odyssey is located within Tanglin region of Singapore. Situated in between two heritage zones, Dempsey Hill and Botanic Garden.The site possesses rich history and heritage value. The aim of Odyssey is to allow users to experience and learn the history of Tyersall through design. Istana Woodneuk, the last remaining piece of the site’s heritage. Instead of restoring the Istana to its former glory, the structure will retain its dilapidated look. Leaving it as a relic of the past, displaying its journey’s end. Despite the amount of the site’s history and heritage value, it does not receive justified attention compared to its neighbors, Dempsy Hill and Botanic Garden. Instead, being neglected and being hidden in plain sight. Odyssey not only takes its users through a journey into the past but also creates a connection between two green zones (Dempsy Hill & Botanic Garden) to form a miniature green corridor. A bioswale which in the design makes use of the topography of the site to channel rainwater capture within the site to be collected, purified, stored and then reused within it. Fueling fountains and irrigations within the site.

LOOK OUT, LOOK UP

Due to a rapid urbanisation and industrial development, Singapore lost most of its original natural habitats and primary forests. Primary forests were home for a rich ecosystems and biodiversity that in now for a great part extinct in the mainland. This has negatively effects on Singaporeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ecological balance. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s left in Singapore is mostly secondary forest with limited value in terms of biodiversity. Pulau Ubin is seen as a sanctuary where both communities and biodiversity can thrive. Nevertheless, the island was also affected by development. Some ecosystems are degraded due to human traffic from tourist and locals that enjoy hiking and sightseeing in Pulau Ubin. Pollution also has a great impact in the health of the biodiversity on the island. The project aims bringing back the lost migrant bird species and extinct butterfly through landscape design and the integration of key flora species. The site is an adjacent area of land that touches the Pekan quarry, which is one of the main tourist attraction in the island. The project is divided in 2 main areas. The hill area is dedicated to the nurturing and observation of butterflies with different level of topography. The second area includes a building composed of two volumes that overlooks the Pekan Quarry. The spaces also allow user to have different views that the user want to see. The aim of this building is to bring people closer to biodiversity and host spaces for bird watching. Individual cubes are stacked on top with different angles for those who wants to bird watch in different ways with multiple different views. This building also provides spaces for education and public activities.

AQUA ARC

Aqua Arc is an aquaponics hub in Pulau Ubin. It proposes the interrelation between a fish farm and the growing of food to form a closed and sustainable system. The roof of the hub is covered with grow beds for the vegetables which are nourished with nutrients obtained from the fish farm. After the nutrients are absorbed by the plants, the water passes through a filtration system that cleans the water in order for the water of the pond to stay clean and the fishes to remain healthy. Aqua Arc can produce vegetables and fishes to export to mainland Singapore and also to be consumed by locals and tourists in Pulau Ubin island. The project brings together an integrated program that captures not only the production but also the consumption of food. Besides the fish farm and the farm located both on land and on the building rooftops, it also hosts a market where visitors and locals can buy fresh food or even harvest it themselves. Visitors can also choose to fish their own fish and even eat it in the restaurant proposed adjacent to the market. island character and needs.

THE GOLDEN AGER

The Golden Ager represents the senior citizens in Singapore. Singapore is facing ageing population with declining birth rate. This issue is worrying as the increase of elderly population in Singapore may mean changes of taxes, there will be smaller pool of working age Singaporeans to support the older generation , hence this will affect Singapore’s Economy . Nursing home beds keep increasing, this shows that the elderly are less prone active. This project’s concept focuses on giving elderly a more active and life while contributing for Singapore’s economy. The project’s concept focuses on the contribution of the elderly for a sustainable development. The project site is Pulau Ubin and its aim is to engage the elderly with the regeneration of the island’s biodiversity and farming. Pulau Ubin is the project site because Ubin is not sustainable in relation for food . Locals have to depend the mainland Singapore for food supplies and transportation of the food cost the locals a lot . Furthermore , In Pulau Ubin both locals and elderly can play a part in contributing manpower for the food supply which is farming as well as activities that engage the elderly physically, emotionally and mentally. The design of the farm proposed in this project addresses the physical challenges the elderly might have. In conclusion, this concept will bring together the elderly from different walks of life to interact. Interacting with one another will make an elderly’s mind more active and create bonds through social activities while contributing for Pulau Ubin Sustainable development.

EVERGREENSCAPE

The Evergreenscape project site is adjacent to North Buona Vista Road and very close to Buona Vista MRT station. It is neighboring to Ghim Moh, residential area, Star vista, a commercial, arts and cultural area, and Metropolis and Biopolis office buildings, industrial, research and business area. It is part of the 24km stretch of former rail tracks from Tanjong Pagar Station in the CBD all the way to Woodlands Checkpoint, now called â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The Rail Corridorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Evergreenscape aims to promote biodiversity, enable community activities while creating awareness on benefits of nature to urban landscape, and boost the community spirit and identity of Ghim Moh. While Evergreenscape will emerge as the green heart of Buona Vista that brings diverse community together around the vicinity, it will also form as a significant activity and connectivity node along the Rail Corridor. The design proposal includes seamless circulation network for cyclists and pedestrian within the locality of Ghim Moh, Buona Vista, and Biopolis areas, which gives the opportunity to link to Ulu Pandan Park Connector, Pandan reservoir and other ABC Waters sites such as Alexandra Canal. While it is evident that the site context provides the opportunity to enhance the green network Evergreenscape used water element to integrate landscape spaces and enhance community vibrancy and enhances the spatial quality around Ghim Moh. Introducing water elements at strategic points also provides the opportunity to promote habitat creation specifically for dragonflies, which is inspired by the existing dragonfly habitat at Ulu Pandan Park Connector.

VERDANT VISTA

The project site is located along North Buona Vista Road, Singapore and is next to the Buona Vista MRT Station. It is very close to Star Vista, a civic and cultural, retail and entertainment building. Opposite the major road are office buildings for business, industrial park, research and development, and the HQ for Ministry of Education. To address the connectivity to both sides of the road is a challenge. In addition, most of these buildings have with small pockets of landscape spaces. Hence, Verdant Vista is designed mitigate these issues by creating a central connectivity node that provides convenience, destination and interests to the users. Creating landscape space such as sensory garden and other theme gardens offer variety of spatial experience for the users to enjoy. Every space is created to meet the needs of the diverse communities. Cyclist and pedestrian are able to enter the site safely from the vehicular traffic. Verdant Vista will be the new landmark in Buona Vista district. It consist of integrated mixeddevelopment consisting of two green tower buildings and landscape activity spaces showcasing new technology and green initiatives for outdoor spaces forming a 24/7 thoroughfare linking Buona Vista MRT and a public park. This public park also provides link for the community or pedestrians via the proposed community Link underpass at Buona Vista MRT to linear park with a challenging design with the existing change of level and consideration for ease of maintenance access and universal design.

ECCENTRIC + CONCENTRIC: RIBBON

Site located at the South-West of Singapore, just at the Buona Vista Mass Rapid Transit ( MRT) on the East West line and Circle line in Singapore. Firstly, for mobility of the masterplan, there is a disconnection of major commercial and residential district of Ghim Moh and Buona Vista. Although an underpass and several pedestrian crossings is available, the there is a lack of effectiveness as users need to travel up and down just to reach their destination, Besides, the major green belt- Railway Corridor is not accessible by the people too. The topography of the area also hinders a smooth flow of circulation usage and therefore unable to access by the disabilities and act as a hazard for the elderly â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which is the major users from the upper part of the masterplan â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Ulu Pandan area. With that, Ribbon aim to reimagine untapped landscape spaces along the way, explored new landscape typology to engage community interaction, promote ecology appreciation and to better connect people through safe and integrated circulation network that impact a greater community use. Proposal like underground plaza is suggested to better connect people through grade separation. Besides, Ribbon aspire to interconnect green and blue network through every steps one take. A design proposal aim to capture the journey as the main essence of a vision of social and ecology sustainability which follow a series of spatial experience and mobility frameworks to attain a biophilic and resilience landscape for the future of Singapore.

PENDULUM

The proposal focuses on creating a community garden cum park integrated to the railway corridor adjacent to Ulu Pandan Community Centre in Singapore. The site is located at Ghim Moh Road next to Ulu Pandan Community Center and a roadside bus terminal. Opposite the site is the Ghim Moh Market & Hawker Centre, home to some famous local delicacies. With these diverse civic amenities, one of the main challenges is connectivity. Unlike the other surrounding neighbourhoods Holland Village and Buona Vista which are celebrated with continuous changes, Ghim Moh estate is a comparatively quiet enclave trying to hold on to its history and is very much connected with nature. Hence, revitalising is a challenge that it has to maintain its sense of place while creating cohesive community spaces and seamless connection with the diverse civic amenities around it. Pendulum is the pulse of a healthy lifestyle of the communities at Ghim Moh estate. Enlivening the rhythm with new interlinked inclusive spaces, inspiring and energising the communities through diverse recreational activities for bonding and bringing out the roots for future resilience. The community centric design has juxtaposed multi-level recreational facilities with inclusive design as part of the pedestrian and cycling network. It also enables the people to reconnect with nature through spatial experience with the native flora and fauna, develop skills through activity involvement. Lastly, the introduction of ABC water features is not only for habitat creation and for water efficiency but also for enhancing Ghim Mohâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s identity.

PAUSE

The project site located at Buona Vista in Singapore, which is an existing public realm underpass that serve the nearby residents and connects them to the Buona Vista MRT and Biopolis area. The site is undulating with several areas having slopes ranging from approximately 20 to 45 degrees. Within the site there also exist a big concrete canal, series of ramps and steps adjacent to north Buona Vista Road. These are few of the many challenges of the site together with the obvious main issue on connectivity. Moreover, there is no cycling path disabled access for the underpass. Besides that, safety of the underpass during night time is also one of the issue. PAUSE took all these site flaws and issues as an opportunity to provide enjoyable and relaxing pockets of places for relaxation within the extremely busy and fast-paced Buona Vista MRT station, which serves diverse communities within the area. The idea is to create a Pause moment to keep the precious time like each grain of sand in the hourglass. The project also aims to create a sustainable and integrated approach in community development by improving the functionality of the new and existing amenities. Pedestrians and cyclists will be able to enjoy the lush natural environment. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Pauseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; will also take the opportunity to promote enhancement of bio diversity and other sustainable features. In addition, emphasis to ecological sustainability by providing habitats for variety of native flora and fauna, preservation of existing healthy trees and managing storm water runoff making it possible to integrate ABC waters features in the landscape.

The project site is in Buona Vista, within the Queenstown district in the south-western area of Singapore, is approximately 1.55km2 in area. It encompasses two high-rise residential estates, which makes up a small percentage of the site area, a commercial cluster of shopping malls and office towers, and an industrial area that houses multiple factories and research & development companies. There are various issues on connectivity such as pedestrian and vehicular traffic congestion, indirect accessibility to amenities and developments hence resulting to community segregation in terms of demography and land or space usage. The project aims to provide a continuous, experiential and engaging link around the area. It also aims to foster and forge community spirit while integrating the grey and green spaces. The proposed elevated walkway will enhance the place making at various level. Hence, Sky Connections is a network of spaces for different attractions and activities catering for diverse communities and environment, seamlessly connected by a common green corridor. The spaces encourage users’ participation, interaction and forge sense of ownership. One of the strategies is utilising small plots of green spaces within the higher floors of buildings as herb gardens, which will be used and maintained by participating eateries within

BEVOLUTION

Bevolution is a concept that resonates with the idea of a smart nation and biophilic design. The concept encompasses different technological aids and smart designs to alleviate the severity of global warming while enriching the environment, promoting social cohesiveness and providing seamless connectivity. The concept of Bevolution seeks to integrate the fundamental architecture of the natural environment by applying the six principles of biophilic design to create an environment that mimics elements of the natural environment. Producing beneficial results that can provide different uses or structural advantages to the site. The concept also incorporates different innovative structural technologies that is tailored and adapts to the site conditions and climates to make better use of natureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s resources while bringing structural benefits and convenience to the users. To achieve the conceptâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s objectives, four key frameworks are introduced. Firstly, the provision of elevated walkways will provide alternative routes that allows quicker access to different parts of Buona Vista. While providing opportunities for different activities. Secondly, revitalisation of the previously unsightly canal and introduction of pockets of green spaces will provide new habitats for different organisms and new activities simultaneously. Thirdly, the creation of new spaces and activities will encourage and provide many opportunities for communal bonding to create an integrated community. Lastly, creation and design spaces that are unique to the site, which allows the residents of Buona Vista to identify themselves.

It showed the Government Flood Prevention Project is not work. It is a negative way to separate human and water because they have no any connection

Tai O has a plentiful history background and culture, also the flooding problem is common. Therefore, the government use the sea wall to separate the human and sea. However, it is a negative way to settle the flood problem and it doesn’t work. My project visions are solve the flooding problem in landscape way to protect this area. Also, the design would connect the human and water, also create more habitats in Tai O. It would have different experience in flood season and dry season. Moreover, the resident and visitors could explore more to enjoy the unique view and culture with my design.

There have five parts with my design. In section A, it would have a tidal pool to create a new habitat for seaweed and invertebrates. In section B and C, three local mangrove plants would resist the pressure of sea waves. Also, have a bridge to connect people and provide a view path in section D. Moreover, section E showed the water filtration system. People could have interactive and learn from biodiversity in the design.

Yuen Long River

Present

Yuen Long was the focal point of rural activities in Hong Kong. Due to urban growth and continuous development, Yuen Long has become an extraordinary place merged with ancient and modern elements.

Yuen Long is located in the western New Territories, Hong Kong. To the its north lie Nam Sang Wai. The Yuen Long River was channelised and became a flood prevention channel.

PROBLEMS

This project is aimed to propose a resilient landscape design for wetland restoration and urban upgrade in Yuen Long. As for the flood control, the design would be adaptable for storm and flooding recovery. A series of drawings are used to discover the relationships between urban development and natural values. Also, the future planning is considering the integration of different aspects such as the local culture, fish ponds, container yards and wetland. At the end, it aimed to think about the balance between wetland and urban development.

Due to the political reason and residential development, the wetland in Yuen Long has mostly lost their ecological values as fish ponds and agriculture. Meanwhile, the water quality in Yuen Long River is known as unsatisfied in Hong Kong. With the channelized river in Yuen Long, the problem of flooding is still remained in heavy raining.

LEVEL

Level aims to solve the issue of the diverse demands of users on a sloped terrain by creating a unique green recreational space; a vertical layered park that embodies the Singapore identity, where majority of people live in high-rise and nature together. The client is NParks. The site is located next to the U/C Woodlands Health Campus. It is a slope with a 10m level difference from top to bottom. The garden will be open to everyone. The client requires the main concept to be a Healing Forest Garden. The issues this design targets are the lack of biodiversity, the sloping terrain of the site and the multiple and mixed user demands. The sloping terrain lowers the amount of usable space, reducing the amount of activity areas. The design tackles the issues with the concept: Level; stacking people of different demands in a biodiverse/ natural resilient landscape. This design plays with the levels of a rainforest, the level of activity in different zones and the height levels of the site to create an interesting and unique experience for users. The main feature of this design is the Tree Trunk Tower. It is a 4-storey tower which corresponds to the levels of the rainforest in the middle of

GREEN COMPASS

The project aims to be an urban green node that brings together people to celebrate a sustainable and socially rich fife style. The project aims to define the cycling connectivity around the site and serve as a platform for urban events and social encounters. The design aims to inspire people to live happier, healthier and spend more time outdoors. The main feature of the structure is that it acts as a heritage compass. On the one hand the proposed structure connects the cycle paths that links Chinatown to key heritage landmarks. On the other hand this cycle bowl has edges that point towards key landmarks around the area such as the Sri Vinayagar Temple and the Jean Yip Loft. The two-story structure houses a bicycle park on the roof top, a cycle hub at the basement and connects to the new MRT station. Besides the bicycle park the landscape designed roof top and the main atrium of the building are conceptualized to encourage human encounters and a variety of social interactions. This building is green, not only because it has in consideration a variety of passive strategies to mitigate the high humidity levels and temperature of the site but also because in is deeply integrated with vegetation. The interior, will be characterized by its green and water walls that will give a natural feel to the place and will
