college of fine art. Before being a young experimental landscape architect, the standard beauty, abstract beauty and the beauty of nomadism. Beauty in his mind was gradually derived from visualization to a kind of notation and semiology. In the previous three years, landscape as standard beauty was being abstracted to the quality of site, space and object. Nomadism is a vision for undefinable and unlimited scope within the design context. Besides skills in drawing, analysis and research, the works from his projects were involoved in social, ecological, cultural and scientific context. The beauty of nomadism is the nonlinear behavioural system of movement, and landscape architecture to him is part of this beauty.

Likewise, Tiki-Taka as the abstract machine is potentially grafted into the working principle of spatial movement and swarm fabrication. Tiki-Taka is more than the tactical urbanism, and it is a philosophy of nonlinear generation with a bio-behavioural system of shrinkage, growth and developing. The system based on each independent variables is to achieve the swarm intelligence, which promotes the becoming of space through movement and division. The geometrical network made of multiple triangles is adaptive with the changes of different spatial variables. Generally, Swarm Technology + Tiki-Taka is an abstracted model for the speculation of spatial emergence and behavioural formation.

Introduction:
Genetic
experimental design and research volume that emphasizes on the
Dispersion
The independent project “Dispersed City within Cities” is an theme of city transformation and emergence. The project looks at old city town and south bund precinct within the downtown area of Shanghai. According to the bureau of statistics, more than one million people have moved from old city town to the new developed residential area in the last twenty years. The newly grafted property promotes mutation of rooted community embedded within old city town. “Dispersed City” is a speculative prospect for the vision of nomadism and movement. In this project, the morphology of city ontology as “abstract machine” is integrated with the dispersion of settlement. The notion of “abstract machine” is based on French philosopher Gills Deleuze’s theory of Rhizome, which demonstrates the system of developing, reorganizing and becoming based on the structures of swarm connection, multiplicity, and heterogeneity. The consequence of genetic dispersion illustrates the context of “delocalization” and the emergence of spatial morphology. Moreover, the nonlinear behavioural formation of south bund edge is based on the algorithm of swarm movement. The parametric variables including spatial density, size, and heterogeneity are linked with the assessment of site planning.

Dispersion & Delocalization: The concept of “Dispersion� demonstrates dynamic settlement context of old city town. The discrete variables are applied to the model of dispersion, which indicates the relationship between site DNA and spatial movement. When the variable achieves more than 1000 meters, the newly grafted community signifies the scenario of delocalization. When the spatial vector is less than 100 meters, the community keeps rooted localization.

The independent project “Algae Spong� aims to explore the potentials and temperature exchange. The concept of algae sponge is a speculative proposal for the resilient biological infrastructure influenced by spatial vectors and biochemical variables. The project focused on the estuary area of Caboolture river where is impacted by the water temperature exchange between inland zone

report of South East Queensland Healthy Water Organization, the increasing tuary area in these two years. Except for the nutrient enrichment resulted from urban or suburban sewage water emission, the blooms of cyanobacteria (blue algae) are favoured in the warm water condition. The consequence of temperature exchange between cool water and warm water varies river condition within the background of climate change and global warming. Thus, the site appraisal based on the consequences of changeable water temperature at river estuary is linked with the speculation of the emergence of biological infrastructure. The landscape proposition of algae sponge is imaginable or virtualized biological infrastructure with the stimulation of rhizomatic becoming system (Relationship between Orchid and Wasp).

Spatial Vector with Water Flow: None is static. The movement or flows depend on five major vectors, or transport mechanisms: wind, water, fly animals, ground animal and people (Forman, 1995). The water temperature gradient with different landscape context promotes the exchange of energy, nutrients, and material. The water temperature as the spatial variables is linked with the change of seasonal conditions. The cool water moves from the inland area to the sea during the winter, and in summer, the water temperature at river estuary is warmed up by the exchange with the water flow from the inland area.

Water Nutrients Movement:

In addition to the temperature flow, the movement of nutrients with river and creek systems enriches the exchange and activity of landscape materials. The increasing urban or suburban waste water emission with the elements including (Nitrogen, Phosphors) enhances the euphotic significance at the Caboolture Estuary, where promotes the growth of blue-green algae (Lyngbya, Cyanobacteria) during the warm season.

for the emergence of biological infrastructure at the estuary
Infrastructure & Algae Sponge
In this project, “Algae Sponge” is a speculative prospect of Caboolture catchment. The concept of algae sponge aims to speculate the emergent system of developing, mutation and becoming. Algae as the potential biological resource are adaptive with the changes of macro-climatic condition (including humidity and temperature), and it is disturbed by other biological community. The blooms of cyanobacteria during warm seasons is stored by the clay and muddy surface. The elements (including toxins, nutrients & protein) released from algae is absorbed and deconstructed by sediment particle and worm (or other biological communities). The sponge is the concept of resilient multiporous structure. The biochemical reaction during the fermentation promotes biotope regeneration with a new ecological system. The principle of algae sponge’s developing system is illustrated through simulation of biological generative and transformative process. Moreover, the biological infrastructure is to be utilized as the biomass of temperature exchanger and storage. The warmer water from a city is absorbed from the algae fabrics, and the cooler water is released into the sea.

Information
The Queensland Government and the Ipswich City Council have This process will be the stage and the first phase, 2015-2020 founds the vision to transform the site and to establish a landscape order at the local level. The site is located in Ipswich City Council and its urban contextual vicinity is Ipswich, Swanbank, and Redbank Plains.
Model
The landscape matrix reveals the ecological disturbance and spatial
(LIM)
activity successes in land production, the pollution of water, air and
discontinuities of its systems. Although the long period of mining soil disturbs the landscape ecology. According to the monitoring station of Ipswich Sub-Region, the concentration of airborne particulate matter (PM 2.5) is higher than other regions of Brisbane Area due to the mining activity. The airborne has high potential in the explosion within the hot and dry condition. The increasing days with high temperature (above 35) in Brisbane promotes combustion at mining quarry. Moreover, eucalyptus around site signifies fire expansion and movement in a short time. The vision of Fog Valley aims to speculate the regenerated landscape (or the landscape within metabolism) with the opportunity and challenges of fire.

LIM Technology In this project, the Land Information Model (LIM) is a creative technology for the stimulation of landscape system. The LIM technology is inspired from the Building Information Model (BIM), and it is based on the principle of GIS (Geological Information System). In this project, LIM as the experimental tool aims to speculate the potential generative system of combustion through the analysis of existing topological, vegetation and macro-climatic characters. For example, the unflatten ground promotes the fluid of fire, and air humidity is linked with the possibility of combustion. Generally, the land information model is a tool, which spatializes the fire system with variable

“Fog Valley� as the landscape Infrastructure illustrates the vision of regenerated landscape energy within the background of combustion at Swanbank mining quarry. The working principle of Fog Valley is to collect the particulate matter resulted from the fire and mining activity, and air dust is potential in the condensation with moisture and low air temperature condition during night. The generation of fog (or ground cloud) demonstrates the emergence of regenerated ecological infrastructure with a new system of hydrology, atmosphere, biology and topography. The different atmospheric pressure between the valley and contextual site promotes the air convection. The wind fluid resulted from convection is potential in generating the electricity and other sustainable energy. Moreover, Fog Valley aims to control the fire expansion with the topological and vegetation intervention. Generally, Fog Valley is the vision of emergent landscape infrastructure with the becoming of fog system.
