PROLOGUE

The place represents architecture’s share in truth. The place is the concrete manifestation of man’s dewelling, and his identity depends on his belonging to places.

—— Christian Norberg-Schulz

We are the generation that witnessed rapid construction of Chinese cities, as well as loss of Genius Loci of our living environment. The psychic implications of Genius Loci was investigated

by Christian Norberg-Schulz. As he said, the basic psychic functions of Genius Loci are “orientation” and “identification”, in accordance with “space” and “character”, which are terms that divide the “existential space”.

FOODBAY is a new model for the regional foodshed, joining small-scale farms with local and regional markets. Since more and more farms in the Hudson Valley suffer from insufficient or obsolete infrastructure as well as lack of affordable access to marketing opportunities, the HUDSON CITY FOOD-BAY proposes a new sharing economy, sited along the historic waterfront, to enhance and join farming, production, and distribution. A new food hub benefits local residents and farmers, as well as tourists, enhances waterfront viability and, at the regional scale, sets up a distribution system using the Hudson River once again as useful infrastructure.

Historically, agriculture was central to many communities in the Hudson Valley, and supported many sub-sector infrastructures such as storage, processing, distribution, equipment and even banking. In recent years, however, food deserts have emerged as part of the long-term disinvestment that has made life in the Valley hard for many residents. Part of this decline has been the declining profitability of the region’s many small farms, and the disappearance its necessary infrastructures.

So too have Hudson Valley waterfronts declined. Once home to commercial markets, warehouses and docks, the waterfronts were eclipsed by railway, and then highway, systems.

The Hudson City Food-Bay creates a new hub or node in the regional food system. It connects individual growers with distribution operations at the waterfront. More broadly, the Hub opens up the bottleneck between farmers and markets by creating shared processing and distribution operations, enabling micro-food businesses, teaching new food-related skills, and offering locals and visitors access to healthy, locally-produced food. The Food-Bay dramatically activates the Hudson City waterfront and reconnects the city with the river.

At the regional scale, the FOOD-BAY “Floating Farmers Market” connects Columbia County farmers to other cities in the Valley and even to New York City, creating a more diverse and sustainable Hudson Valley food system.

Small farmers are lack of storage and processing facility which makes wasted food from farms and make small farms weak to seasonal change and fluctuating production and market condition. And they are going to the market separately.

The project are suggesting sharing economy among small f and keep their food at sharing storage and process it to keep add value. And if they have a common market they can go to can decrease the total amount of travel to the market. We centralized regional hub which can create a valley network in examined Columbia county as one model.

The project proposes a weekly schedule for picking up fruits/vegetables with our shared truck system throughout Columbia county and others have the option of dropping directly to the hub. The hub has a shared storage and processing facility. The produce can be stored for months with cold & freezing storage options. The first-step processing would cut/wash and pack the vegetable, which would be taken further for making value -added processing for making pickles. These fresh vegetable or processing food products would be locally distributed through farmers market, institutions and would further be regionally distributed by our food barge and sharing truck system.

CURRENT SITUATION OF THE CITY OF HUDSON

Hudson lies in a food desert. In the graphs, you can see the high density of population near the waterfront which are the low-income group of people. There are only two farm markets in the Main Street. This curve is the quantities of the grocery stores. And the wholesale retailers like Walmart are in the suburban area which are far away from the waterfront where low income people live.

Historically the waterfront was a home to commercial markets but in recent times is disconnected from the city due to the railway infrastructure. The physical conditions of site are such that the park connecting to warren street is on a high altitude and is disconnected from the waterfront. The entire stretch has beautiful scenic view.

AXONOMETRIC OF FOODBAY For the design, there are four main things which need to be introduced.

Firstly, because these are the food processing facilities so there will be lots of trucks loading and unloading staff here. So, the project separates the truck routes from the pedestrian. You can see the yellow area is for the pedestrian and the blue area is for the truck and the car. In this way we create this leaner form of building with two faces.

The front face point to the water is for pedestrian for people. And the back face to the railway is for the staff.

Secondly, the project reconnects the city to the waterfront which is now quite unaccessible to the neighborhood because of the railway. So, this yellow skyway we link it to the park which is in the end of the Warren street. Also, the project renews the existing bridge here and creates a connection between station and the central plaza.

We also consider the view from the train station. When people are waiting for train, they can see the central plaza and what happen in the processing facilities.

In addition, we create a canopy and a second-floor public space above the facilities.

Under the roof here will be the industrial facility. And on the roof under the canopy will be restaurant and cafĂŠ.

Last but not least, we consider the flood. The landscape can resist 20-year flood and the building can resist 100-year flood.

View from River

This is the perspective from the boat. The canopy and the colorful food barge will become the distinctive landmark of the Hudson city.

Central Plaza

This is the perspective from the roof to the central plaza. Different activities related to food and agriculture can happen in this plaza which make it a diverse and busy place. On the canopy, green plant is grow during the summer which beautify the structure and cool the roof area.

View from Train Station

This is the perspective from the train station right near. The central plaza is directly pointed to the station. Tourists or local here can walk across the railway to the plaza.

And when they are waiting for the train, they can see the activities in and plaza and food processing procedures in the building.

MAP OF REGIONAL FOODBARGE SYSTEM The project are suggesting marketplace by Food barge so it can travel along the river and then stop by cities within the river such as Kingston Poughkeepsie and New burgh, collecting and selling products from each city. And finally, it goes to New York City. It can stop at the west Harlem pier and Chelsea pier. On the left is a one-month schedule of food barge cycling from Albany to New York City.

The reason why the project suggests the food barge is that there are lots of farms who can not afford to go to NYC farmers market. Because it takes a lot of money, almost more than $300 are fixed price for farmers market for a day. And there are long waiting list of farms who wanna be in NYC farmers market.

With the floating farmers market and our suggested sharing economy at waterfront, farmers can come to the city to share the storage and distribution system, at the same time using the barge for their market. It opens up opportunities to access much bigger markets for small farmers. And turn these separated travel into combined inter-valley network.

LEVERAGING LINEAR LANDSCAPES Columbia University Urban Design Studio III Spring Jan 2018 - Apr 2018, Can Tho, Vietnam Instructors: Kate Orff, Dilip da Cunha, Geeta Mehta, Thaddeus Pawlowski, Julia Watson, Linh K. Pham Team Members: Jianqi Li, Shuyuan Li, Sharvi Jain Devaki Handa

WHAT IF canal-based urbanization is endorsed such that it minimizes encroachment on agriculture fields?

To address flooding, Can Tho city is focusing mostly on hard infrastructure measures such as installing an urban sewage system or constructing concrete walls and hard embankments along rivers and channels. These are very costly measures while the city’s financial capacity is still limited, and they can address part of some individual problems only. In addition, these hard structures are often designed based on historical climate and disaster data, as well as fixed standards (such as corresponding to 5% flood probability). This conventional approach does not consider robustness, flexibility and redundancy and thus limits the city’s capacity to proactively and flexibly

respond to extreme and abnormal flooding situations.

Ecological infrastructure is still a new concept in Vietnam and to most related agencies in Can Tho. Can Tho has begun to urbanize along roads that cut through agriculture fields. It fragments already shrinking farms, displaces hundreds of farmers, and increases impervious surfaces in a flood-prone area. Our project looks at how the existing landscape conditions can be leveraged to endorse the traditional canal-based linear urbanization pattern. Incentivizing restricted urban accumulation on higher ground created by canal-driven sediment deposition would prevent encroachment on farmland, thus preserving the economic, ecological, and social co-benefits they provide.

CANAL SYSTEM

AGRICULTURE SYSTEM

Can Tho is located in Mekong delta which possesses developed canal system. The canal system is created by the country in last 200 year which is mainly for irrigation and transportation. However, because of car, lots of canal in the urban area lost their function and become dirty and polluted.

Phong Dien(green area) is the district near Can Tho urban area. Not like other areas in Mekong delta which are mainly occupied by rice field, 70% of the agriculture field in Phong Dien is orchards(light green).

ROAD-BASED DEVELOPMENT

Can Tho urban area is near the Hao river which is in rapid urbanization process. In the countryside like Phong Dien, it still keep the old urban fabric— all the habitats are along the main river and the canal.

SECTION OF COLLECTING POINTS The section is the collection point which located in the junction of the canal. This kind of infrastructure plays a quite important role in the water-based transportation system. So basically, the adjacent cells will collect the fruit to this point and load them on the boat and finally send to the processing facility along the main river. This place can also be place with collecting waste and convert to the biogas.

SECTION OF VAC ORCHARDS FIELD The section is showing the VAC agriculture systems we apply here.

So basically, VAC is a term from the Vietnamnese, means orchard, fish ponds and poultry together to become of a integrated system.

In brief, instead of growing single orchard here, we propose fish in the drainage and poultry under the orchard. In this system, for example, the fish waste can become the fertilizer for the orchard.

SECTION OF LINEAR WETLANDS AND LOW-TECH SLUCIE GATES The section of the Linear Wetland. The linear wetlands will follow the edge of the farm field and will generally occupy 5-10 percent of each piece of lands. Bamboo will grow along it which can be the building material for the new development area. And this linear wet land can also be the habitat corridor for wildlife.

MECHANISM OF LOW-TECH SLUICE GATE

During water level is low, the sluice gate will close completely to hold the water so that the plant can clean the water from the fields.

When the water level rises, the water will push up the floating unity attached to the gates so the water can flow to next section.

When the water level is high such as the in wet season, the sluice gate will open completely and the linear wetlands work as drainage to discharge the rainwater.

VORONOI OVERPASS Renmin Bridge Overpass Renewal May 2017-Jun 2017, Zhoutouzu, Guangzhou Landscape Architecture Design Studio Instructor: Yicheng Weng Individual Work

Inspired by the VORONOI BOUNDARY.

In public spaces, there will be different distances between people. Voronoi boundaries appear if the midpoints of these distances are connected.

Internet technique will be applied to improve the users’ engagement. Through the user’s participation, the design is always in an unfinished and dynamic state.

The design tries to use Voronoi pavement - different sizes of polygons to fit the user’s activities. Since the user’s activities are always infinite, the project only design the pavement and the basic facilities. The remaining activities and equipment are completely determined by the users.

The design wants to strike a balance between designers and users as well as between city managers and users.

The space created by the user’s spontaneous behavior best expresses the GENIUS LOCI of the place.

SITE

The site is located in the south of the People’s Bridge, Guangzhou. Now it is a dark parking lot under the overpass. The south of the south will be built a subway station. The site is in the historic district of Guangzhou. The accessibility of west block near the site is very poor because it is now surrounded by the city highway and river.

STATUES

For 100 years, city leaders have looked at Willets Point and seen a chance to transform a chunk of the city.

Willets point is located in Queen, NY. In Willets Point, there is a triangle-shaped land called Iron Triangle. This is a triangle that attracts developers and governors who want to take advantage from it. However, during almost 100 hundred years lots of proposal have planned to happen here, Willets Point is still the same. Why Willets Point is abandoned by the development? Why all the plan have not realized? For now nobody lives in there, so who can represent this area? Who wants to get benefit from this large piece of undeveloped land?

The growth of downtown Flushing has added a new force in this story—while its most recent incarnation as a zone of automotive parts and repairs has been destroyed, the next chapter remains in dispute.

This a research that look deep into the reason why different plans can not be realized in Willets Point. This project mainly focuses on the social process on urban design projects. The result show in the portfolio is the educational poster which is to make the public understand the history and process of urban design projects in Willets point as well as the contested during the project.

The main concept of the project is to place a sponge above the Cross Bronx Expressway.

Firstly, the sponge can absorb people. In the north part of Jerome Ave, there is lack of public space and the neighborhood is interrupted and seriously affected by the highway.

The sponge above the highway reconnects the neighborhood. People can go across the highway easily and joyfully on the sponge. It provides public space with lots of activity choices which can be big complementation to the near area. It also directly connected the Line D subway station which is the most common way people to travel so that many people can go to this place after work.

Secondly, it blocks and absorbs the air pollution. Everyday huge amounts of cars travel along the Cross Bronx Expressway. They produce lots of exhaust and noise which have a severe impact on the near neighborhood.

The sponge that covers the expressway can surely blocks the air pollution and noise. And with the application of the air cleaner, it can purify the air in the expressway and provide flesh air back to it. Last but not least, the sponge can also collect the rain water which contributes to the water management to the city.

MICROHABITAT HETEROGENEITY Nansha Quarry Ecological Restoration Mar 2017- Apr 2017, Nansha, Guangzhou Landscape Architecture Design Studio Instructor: Jun Xing Individual Work

The site is located in Nansha,Guangzhou. As a result of mining, vegetation and massif were destoried and now some place of the hill become lake of water. Although the ecology is destroyed, the lake formed by the site increases the habitat elements. The concept microhabitat heterogeneity start from this point.

Microhabitat heterogeneity is to create different habitats for animals at the small and medium scales. It can affect large-scale ecosystems through small-scale ecological restoration. With the technology of floating platform and quarry cliffs rehabilitation, the project creates different

habitat for different animals. The site is located in the Pearl River Delta estuary, one of the migratory birds stations. The design fully consider the habbits of resident bird and migrant bird and try to provide them with a good place to inhabit. The GENIUS LOCI develops after the restoration.

To improve the quality of the water and the habitats, the design links the lowland lakes together with the river. Through the tide, the water exchange can reach 150000mÂł/d. Furthermore, intercepting ditch are built to prevent the flash flood as well as supply water for the lake in winter.

HETEROGENEITY IN MID-SCALE In middle scale, the quarries are designed as different habitats according to their water depth and near area. The quarry near the hill with water 1m deep plans to be wetland. The quarries in the hill with water 15-25m deep primarily plans to provide creatures with lake and forest. The quarries near the residential area will mainly provide people with a place in education and activities.

SHALLOW SPACE

Qinghui Garden Entrance Plaza Design Sep 2016 - Oct 2016, Qinghui Garden, Foshan Landscape Architecture Design Studio Instructor: Juanyu Wu Individual Work

Inspired by the movie

I Am Not Madame Bovary — Xiaogan Feng

The current entrance plaza is a rectangular site surrounded by buildings whose facade were reproduction of historic façade, modeled after historic buildings. They created poor spatial experience and lacked recreational facilities. Furthermore, it was difficult for the public to understand Qinghui Garden during their short visits because of the complex garden practices and its rich historic background.

My design attempted to reconstruct the character of ancient gardening in a more conspicuous way through creation of shallow space, a modern concept brought up in Transparency.

Combining with the modern theory of shallow space and traditional gardening practices, the design aimed to restore the deep-rooted aesthetic of locals and GENIUS LOCI of the place, and to furnish the space with a series of familiar but modern scenes, which all contribute to the public‘s understanding of the traditional garden and the spatial identity of a place.

STRATIFICATION IN WORKS OF MODERNISM

The layering and stratification of frontal planes is evident in both Le Corbusier’s paintings as well as his built works. The axonometrics demonstrate the layered configurations of both works; they appear to stretch out and expand the various constituent layers of their flattened conditions as painting or elevation.

STRATIFICATION IN CHINESE PAINTING AND GARDEN

Like the works of Le Corbusier, Chinese paintings have a profound influence on the Chinese garden. Because perspective system is not used in Chinese paintings, they are similar to the Cubism to some extent. Thus, no wonder the shallow space is widely used in the Chinese garden. The Chinese gardens diminish the depth at the view points and attract people to come in and see different scenes while walking along the path.

CREATE SHALLOW SPACE

Plan

1.Limit sight when the space is small.

Plan

2.Place the elements in horizon to confuse the level before and after when view is wide.

3.Make sure to face the front. Link the view points by the path and the space.

The new design tries to continue the spatial sequence of the old Qinghui Garden. Visitors will experience the main space ordered from small to large before enter the garden. After they enter the garden, the main space they experience will be from big to small.

MASTER PLAN

SPATIAL STRATIFICATION OF NATURAL SCENES ROCKSCAPE

Place the rock to deceive the eye and reduce the persepective effect, and treat the ground as the blank of the paper.

NANTOU’S SLIPPERS SCUT X UPenn Workshop

Aug 2017- Dec 2017, Nantou, Shenzhen Mapping Nantou Old Town Workshop Shenzhen Biennale of Urbanism\Architecture Instructors: Jason Ho, Lei Xiao Team Work Team Members: Jianqi Li / Fan Fei / Huang Qiu / Yuqiao Liu / Runxian Wang / Wanxin Zhang / Jiaqi Han / Jiajun Wu Role in the Team: Leader of the group, Mapping Research, Home Cabinet , Nantou Sisters with Slippers and City of Slippers Model Design.

From the perspective of slippers.

In Nantou old town, wearing slippers is one of the most common behaviors. Slippers are informal but convenient and comfortable, and they are the perfect invention dealing with hot and humid climate of PRD. The habits of wearing slippers have evolved in tandem with the past and present of Nantou.

Once Nantou was the downtown. The businessman in town wore slippers at home and decent cloth shoes outside, while salt people must walk barefoot on the streets of the city, so there was distinction between inside and outside, and difference in status as the wearing habits implied.

Now Nantou has become a village surrounded by city, people wearing slippers from home to the outside streets in town walk freely. The home area reduced, but in fact the scope of home extends to the entire village, redefining home in Nantou and turning Nantou into an open Urban Lobby. Nantou’s GENIUS LOCI is discovered from the villagers’ space occupy patterns.

OVERVIEW AUNT YE WITH SLIPPERS

The story focus on the closed relationships between neighbor in Nantou.

CONNETIVE FURNITURE

They links the entire exhibition, showing the inextricable relationship between slippers and other exhibitions.

HOME CABINET

It shows the spaces with activities that are originally in their house but are readapted along the public alleys of the village the street. It is where the stories took place.

CITY OF SLIPPERS

The model shows the impression of Nantou from the perspective of slippers.

NANTOU SISTERS WITH SLIPPERS The story tells from the perspective of children.

ANCIENT NANTOU

The story tells about the officer and baysalt workers in ancient time.

UNCLE ZHANG WITH SLIPPERS

The story tells about a man who works in Nantou on tricycle with slippers.

THE ELDER WITH SLIPPERS

The story tells about the elder daily life in Nantou.

Exhibition of NANTOU’S SLIPPERS is divided into four parts: CITY OF SLIPPERS, DIFFERENT HOME, STORIES OF PEOPLE WITH SLIPPERS, CONNETIVE FURNITURE.

HOME CABINET Children put the plastic tiles on the ground in the street and play on them. The street becomes their “Toy Room”.

“Storage Room”

“Chatting Room”

Because living spaces in urban villages are extremely confined, locals have to readapt many of their house activities along the public alleys of the village. But slippers are still the carrier which is connected to various parts of the home.

The Lottery Sh ting Room”

People set a few chairs on the street side and put a tea set on the table.

The street becomes their “Tea Room”.

hop is their “Chat-

“Lobby”

The Mahjong Room is their “Baby watching Room”

“Studio”

They stand lots bamboo across the street to dry the clothes. The street become their ”cloth drying room”.

NANTOU SISTERS WITH SLIPPERS

Put down shoelaces.

Clothes drying

Kingdergarten

From the sisters’ point of view, all kinds of furniture scattered in every corner of Nantou. Girls from kindergarten will firstly put down shoelaces, turning the Crocs into the state of slippers, because the sisters seem to have returned home when they come out of the kindergarten. After walking down the street, the girls wash their hands and feet in the washbasin on the side of the street, play on the children’s plastic floor in the street, and watch television in the mahjong shop. They wear the slippers relaxingly in this place as if they walk through their home.

UNCLE ZHANG WITH SLIPPERS The alley is his “dining room”.

Uncle Zhang meets Aunt Ye and chats with her.

The street beco

omes their “entertainment room�.

Lottery Shop

The tricycle becomes their mobile furniture in Nantou.

For Uncle Zhang in Nantou of handling, Nantou is both the workplace and the living room. Because the slippers are easy to wash and dry, for riding a tricycle without going a long way to him, slippers are the most suitable shoes. Riding on the tricycle in Nantou will have a different space experience. There is countless red frame in his brain, which constantly remind him the width of each street. He also talks to acquaintances during working, just like chatting in the lobby and friends at home.

AUNT YE WITH SLIPPERS

Through comic expression and dialogue, aunt Ye’s daily life shows the village is a huge community of acquaintances. Every day in the market she can meet a lot of acquaintances and stop to chat. When perming her hair in the barbershop, she asks the children to go home for homework. Siting on the sofa in the alley, aunt Ye talk about gossip with her neighbor. They shuttle daily in the village strumming up one after another “home” scattered in the streets.

CITY OF SLIPPERS City of slippers tries to recreate the Nantou through slippers. Looked from the front, the slippers seem to be disordered but actually follow some rules, which is just like the buildings of Nantou. From the side, you will see long and narrow space representing the space of Nantou Street. It is these twists and turns of the space where the lobby of the city is located. It is also a part of the home of Nantou people. Slippers are the carrier connecting these large and small living rooms. The red threads hanging clothes show the countless closed relationship between people in Nantou. The model has three peaks, which represent the crowds in "lobby", "kitchen", "baby room" by different types and different number of slippers.

So, when calculating their consumption and supplement of energy during each migration path, we can find out which path has the least energy consumption, which LOGIC OFforALGORITHM will be the best path birds.

And when they Migratory Birds Simulation by Processing with arrived Python at a habitat, they will supplement energy based on the scale of that habitat.

Figure 7 Examples of energy calculation and comparison

For example, in the case of sample 1, we calculate all the energy consumption through all the routes birds migrate to get a total consumption, which is -38. Then we calculate all the energy supplement from the habitats they pass by, which will be +10. Then the total energy loss is -28. Based on the same reason, we can calculate the other three samples.

irds’ migration simulation 3

Weight the number of birds appearing on different paths according to the inverse ratio of the energy consumption value, and get the probability of birds flying on each path. Assume that birdsamountfactor=3000, so:

Birdsamount1= int(3000/28)=107 Birdsamount2= int(3000/22)=136 Figure 5 5

Birdsamount3= int(3000/20)=150 Birdsamount4= int(3000/31)=97

INTERACTION AND VISUALIZATION

1. Import a map with bird habitats.

2. Use mouse to drag the start and end points on the map.

3. Drag different blocks(in-between habitats) on the map according to the location and size of the in-between habitats.

4. Press simulate to start the simulation.

SIMULATION RESULTS ANALYSIS

Through the simulation, we find that most of time there are not only one best route but several similar good solutions. More obvious is that some habitats are passed through by huge amount of birds. So maybe we can acknowledge more information about which habitat are more

important on the process of bird migration. Based on this we can strategically choose the most valuable habitats to protect for resilience of urban development.
