RECREATION CORRIDOR DESIGN SECTION CROSS BUSINESS AREA

The China national law prohibits that structures extend over Yangzi river.

However, the dike has 6.5 meters over the Yangzi river, so that visitors could not close to water. The solution that solve the problem is redesigning steps on the dike in order to decrease the height of the dike and shorten the distance that between visitors and Yangzi river.

COLLEGE STATION, TX

TAES ANNEX BUILDING

Today, the Texas Agricultural Extension Service, with over 1,000 faculty and professional staff, remained the nation’s largest state extension service. Its goals included an increase in agricultural competitiveness, interna- tional marketing, public-policy education, agricultural safety and health, rural economic revitalization, water-use solid and hazardous waste management, conservation of natural resources, food safety, nutrition, care of the elderly, family economics and family rela- tionships, literacy, and career development.

DESIGN STRATEGIES The site has a lot of problems going on, such as drainage, soil erosion, and large volume of potable water use.

According to these problems, some LID facilities are proposed to solve them and create wonderful gathering place for students and staffs. For example, the rain garden and bioswale storm water can
