A LANDSCAPE
RECONCILED GOORIWAL (LA PEROUSE)
LAND2101
Landscape Studio 1: Design Fundamentals
Term 2, Year 1, 2020
Location
La Perouse, Sydney, Australia
Project Background
Aboriginal Australia’s connection to this land mass is some 60,000 years old and this continuous connection, past and present is one of the most endearing and authentic qualities of this great country.
However, this relationship is fraught as there are large disparities between the broader communities understanding and recognition of Aboriginal People within Australia. Reconciliation in this context is about the wider Australian community building relationships of respect and trust with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples. (LAND2101 Lecture 2020)
The site for this Assessment is Gorriwal, the headland, at La Perouse, 17.5km south of the Sydney CBD on the northern headland of Kamay Botany Bay. The site is a contested site, a palimpsest of past histories and future possibilities. The site is the location of early French and English colonial interactions with the Australian land mass and people.
As a landscape architect, we can reconcile these relationships through spatial justice. To strengthen relationships between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and non-Indigenous peoples. In 2020, we reflect on the 250 year anniversary of Cook’s arrival and subsequent impacts of this invasion.
Site Analysis | Broader landscape room of Kamay
For a broader analysis diagram of the Kamay Botany Bay, La Perouse headland is located on the southeast of Botany Bay. National Park is to the south of the headland, Sydney Airport is to the northwest of headland, and Pacific Ocean is to its east.
General Statement About Reconcilation
For an analysis diagram of the headland. Looking out from La Perouse headland, expansive view across Kamay Botany Bay, view Kamay headland, Kamay National Park and expansive view to threshold space of headland.
Site Analysis | site selection
The site is located in the southeast of headland, facing Congwong Bay. Chosen site with one side near the water and the other side closest to the entrance intersection to the headland. The height difference between the two ends of the site is about 12m. The upper part is bush, and the lower part is reef, which is challenging for design. This site is relatively hidden and quiet, suitable for people to ponder and imagine. The site has a wide view, overlooking the Bare Island and Henry Headland. People can enter the site from Anzac Parada and then follow the reef beach to Bare Island bridge. Add a different route for people to visit Island.
In 1770, Captain Cook came to Botany Bay. The collision between western culture and local culture resulted in conflict, which affected the environment and damaged the indigenous culture and ecology. We should respect and trust with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples. Reconciliation action enables western culture and indigenous culture to live together better, and heal the wound caused by the conflict. As a landscape architect, I reconcile these relationships through the design of the site, an ecological landscape integrated with the environment is created.
Sketch Iterations
The first drawing showing the original site. The elevation difference from northwest to southeast is 12m. The upper part of the site is shrubs, lawn and grass, the middle part is the reef rock and the bottom is the coast. For sketch iteration 1, what I want to do is to design a path going down along the contour lines in the shape of “s” letter, with stairs for steep places and ramps for gentle places. Two platforms are also designed, which are rest platform and viewing platform. Then developed it, sketch iteration 2. The upper part of the site is composed of vegetation, shrubs and stone path, while the lower part is composed of rock and steel structure stairs. In order to make the ramp gentler and more comfortable for people to walk, I developed it to three bends along the contour line. The route became longer, and the space experience is more varied.

Then this is a longitudinal section, the upper part is stone path, existing shrubs, smooth-barked apple and cast-iron bench seating. The bottom part is steel structure stairs and floor.
The upper part of the site is composed of vegetation, shrubs and stone path, and the lower part is built with steel structure path on the rock, which does not damage the environment. The vegetation on both sides forms the edge. A platform is designed at the junction of the ramp and the steel stairs to see the bare island. There will be two different experiences of space. Put a cast iron bench seating through the site, so that people can sit down to see the sea, rest and think. It encapsulates qualities with diversity, mystery, prospect and refuge. And using paths, edges, foci and thresholds to enhance design.

Landscape Design Studio 2: Design Process
Term 3, Year 2, 2021
Project Location:
Cockatoo Island, Sydney, AU
Through design intervention, creating a new space and give people a more interesting and exciting experience to explore the island, to visit meaningful historical heritages and different point to view the beautiful scenery.
Design Statement
I take “view” as the theme throughout the whole design. Along the path journey, there are two historical heritages and a beautiful waterscape to be viewed. Around the site have many meaningful historical heritages and waterscapes. Such as the crane, the powerhouse chimney left over from the industrial era, an old boat and the convict settlement on the top of the cliff left over from the convict era.
The water rises and falls along the slipway, which is a good place for people to get in touch with the water. These heritages and waterscapes are in different directions and at different heights. In order to let people have a more interesting experience to view those heritages, and point the viewing of these three directions, I designed crane lookout platforms, a group of mounds and a sunken waterfront platform. These three parts enclosed a holistic space, providing different viewing points for people and a good place to rest and think.
Relevant analysis, concept and process drawings
Inspired by the design of silos steel bridge, I have a idea to design a steel stair around the crane from the ground to the top. I think climbing up and along the crane, this experience is interesting and excited, we can touch the crane in different height, feel it at a close range gives people a different experience. Inspired by the design of the Platform on the cliff, I design two platforms in different height level as well to view historical heritages (e.g.convict settlement) and the distant scenery (e.g.Woolwich Headland). And I made a model for testing my design idea as well.

SITE SURVEY & ANALYSIS
EXISTING CONDITIONS AND CONTEXT OF THE SITE
Site Broader Context
The design site is located in Copenhagen. The capital and most populous city of Denmark where populations moved to the urban areas in hopes of finding better options of job opportunities, education, shopping and entertainment (Everyculture.com, 2009)
- ISSUES
Issues
Bicycles are a symbol of moving towards a sustainable city. Learning from cities with prevailing bike cultures creates a unique opportunity to promotes cycling worldwide. To instil the culture of cycling around the world, more than just urban infrastructure is needed. A facility that enhances the experience of people, tourists, residents, visitors and students, one that intrigues them and excites them is needed.
Cycling in Copenhagen
C ycling has been officially recognized by The European Union as a practical mode of urban transport that generates environmental, economic, and health benefits. The Netherlands and Denmark have been especially successful in promoting safe and convenient cycling. Almost 41% of the commutes to work and study in Copenhagen is done by bike, and 62% of the city’s population are either working or studying (World Economic Forum, n.d.).
Copenhagen City Plan
- Consideration of connection points on both sides
- With the majority of visitors, commuters and citizens that live in the residential area would also travel past the inner harbour to explore the historical and cultural aspects of the city. Therefore, the bridge for our site would consider connecting these places.
Bridge Zone
The shape of the site boundary is trapezoid. It’s next to Knippels Bridge and Inderhavnsbroen Bridge. And besides the rejuvenation area: A proposed active community hub. With rich public spaces and community centres on both sides of the site, it is an ideal the location for a new public space.

MASTERPLAN
Pedestrian bridge can be a place to meet, to socialize, to watch, and to gather.
The design required that having a 3.25m clearance to water, 15m width sea route for boats to pass through. So my bridge gradually rises with a slope of less than 1 to 20. However, the three spaces I designed are all flat. This naturally forms some sinking space. These spaces are backed by the main path of the bridge, which making some refuges.

MASTERPLAN (STUDIO 6)
DETAILED DESIGN
PRINCIPLE 1
Mitigation and adaptation for probable flood in Angus ("Very large flood" condition as well as "Biggest flood possible" condition) by using flood resilient design
Seasonal Changes
I proposed some ephemeral wetland ponds near the existing watercourse, due to the retention capacity of the ponds, they can effectively mitigate flooding by temporarily holding water during the rain season and usual time.
Dry season
Rain season
The steeper the slope, the faster the stream flows, water flows slowly when it reaches a curve and this might cause a flooding, water flows quickly when it reaches a straight watercourse.
I proposed the high density residential area above the "Biggest flood possible" flood line and a bit modulatation of contour line.
Flood period
The blue area shows the flood prone in "Very large flood - medium chance" condition, In Marsden Park, a flood this size has a 55% chance of happening in an 80-year lifetime.
This is also referred to as a 1 in 100 chance per year flood.
The blue area shows the flood prone in " Biggest flood possible - extremely low chance" condition, in Marsden Park, a flood this size has less than a 0.1% chance of happening in an 80-year lifetime. This is the largest possible flood in the HawkesburyNepean Valley, also known as the probable maximum flood (PMF). Flood period

LAND2312 Studio 10: Graduation
Term 3, Year 4, 2023
Project Background
Studio 8, 9 and 10 are combined into one big project - our graduation project. To accommodate population growth, as landscape architects on such projects we are primarily concerned with how to accommodate increased urban density while improving ecological and social conditions. We first work as a five-person group on analysing the existing site conditions of a given urban precinct, creating an Urban Landscape Structure Plan, and then work as an individual on developing more detailed plans, sections and visualisations at the neighbourhood scales.
Project Vision
Liverpool City will be imagined as a vibrant, sustainable and inclusive urban oasis that fosters a strong sense of community and connection with nature. Our approach centers on creating vibrant and compact street life that encourages walking and social interaction.
We aim to provide active modes of transportation and create an environmentally friendly transportation system like walking and cycling. It will links residents to neighborhood facilities and promotes active and healthy lifestyles. We propose to integrate green infrastructure such as green drainage and WSUD into the streets design to manage stormwater runoff while providing visual interest and ecological benefits.
And also by accessing to water and adding shade trees, community gardens, and green roofs, we aim to improve the neighborhood’s sustainability and livability. Nevertheless, it will also enhance air quality, reduce the negative impacts of urban heat islands, and foster the production of regional food system.
Existing Context And Conditions Of The Site
By 2050, Liverpool will develop into the Metropolitan Cluster, with a distinctive and welcoming character where people want to live, work, invest, study and play, and the premier edge city for Western Sydney Airport.
The population for the Liverpool City Council area is forecast to grow by 125,401 people by 2041, making the total population size 371,303. The suburb of Moorebank, which includes part of our study area, is forecast to grow by 13,710 people by 2041.
Main Characters And Issues Of The Site
• Liverpool Station has a direct interchange to the Bus Stands and plenty of bus service.
• Most bus routes are stopped at Liverpool Interchange and concentrated in CBD, while other parts (including Study Area) currently has no bus routes because separating by the George River.
• Liverpool needed a complete bus route, not just covering CBD but also the eastern part of the Liverpool.
Extreme Heat Events
28% of the Liverpool LGA has seen average temperatures at least six degrees higher than baseline expectations.
48% of the Liverpool centre has observed an increase of nine degrees or more
