The most important thing in the more and more complex world is how to weave different disciplines together to solve complex issues. What I have learnt from my undergraduate '3+2' degree(3 years of architecture and 2 years of landscape) and what I am learning from AA post-graduate program, Landscape Urbanism, which is a transdisciplinary, help me understand how different things are connected, how to deal with complex issues, how to explore innovative approaches by integrating different systems.

LANDSCAPE AS INFRASTRUCTURE
01
SUBJECT: Dholera City Masterplan TIME: 01/2013 - 09/2013 LOCATION: Dholera, Gujarat, India TYPE: 2 ppl team studio project(only individual part showed) TUTOR: Eva Castro Alfredo Ramirez Eduardo Rico Clara Oloriz Sanjuan 02
A
s a very important node in the Dheli—Mumbai Industrial Corridor, Dholera is located in a gulf area, which is suffering from water scarcity and flooding. The government proposed a mega-infrastructure — a 30km dam to solve those two problems. In many aspects this huge project is not very feasible, so we propose a break-down project to deal with the problems considering the time and construction issues. We want to make the landscape itself as infrastructure.
GOVERNMENT'S PROPOSAL
The government's document shows they are going to close the whole 30km wide gulf and make it as a reservoir.
03
INDEXING OF WATER POLLUTION
This diagram shows that the proposed reservior will only store tons of polluted water instead of solving the water problems. And in terms of time and economic issues, we decide not to take this project into consideration, but to find an alternative, more flexible approach.
SEA SURGE FLOODING SIMULATION
SEA FLOODING DAMAGE
Without more fresh water resource, the only way to make more production is to use the sea water to grow aquaculture or salt crops. The local people tried to develop the coastal areas, but all failed because of the sea surge every year. All the facilities are destroyed and abandoned.
04
EXISTING BREAKWATER TECHNIQUES
INTEGRATED SYSTEM
Instead of putting barriers in one goal, I try to use minimum constructions to guide the sediment to generate larger barriers with the process of nature itself.
EXISTING SEDIMENT TRAPPING TECHNIQUES
05
But as the sediment keeps growing northward, it may be too long for a barrier and may block or distort the water ways too much.
So by putting another barrier ahead to guide the water to wash faster in some area, a flexible pattern of keeping the balace emerges.
barriers sediment growth water ways
TESTS ON SITE
There are four main creeks along the coastline which can be used as transport canals. So before putting those barriers, I want to keep and create water ways by the method I tested before. So here is the starting point.
06
TESTS ON SITE Every step of putting a group of barriers adapt to previous ones. This process of interaction with nature gives highly flexibility through time. The whole pattern can be changed in any time to fit in the ever changing environment. With the minimum human intervetion, the nature will finish the rest of the work, generate a variaties of barrier islands and water ways.

When sediment formed an area of mudflat, it can be enclosed by sub barriers for floodable oyster farming. The mangrove plantation helps to consolidate the sediment.
When more lands are available, more stable aquaculture farm can be constructed. By moving the unnecessary sediment in the waterways to the oyster farm, the land is heightened to a safer level for production.
After more consolidaton and shrimp farms construction, the integrated aquaculture system can be introduced to make it more efficient, more sustainable and make more products.
With the growth of other islands, they would attract vistors. The development of tourism could emerge.

BRIEF SUMMARY berms contours canals waterways
This project is about building adaptive and flexible system by working with nature, using the landscape as infrastructure. For further development of those islands, they could be grouped into different communities. The potentials of this proposal is about diversity and land uses shifting through time.

T
ottenham Hale is in the east of London. This area is reletively new developed, the land value is cheaper, thus so many immigrants living here. The city facilites and traffics are less organised than the central London. There are reserviors and green belts in this area but locals are not perceptive about the landscape. The project looks for a new way to break the barriers between urban space and the landscape, and integrate the two system together to make the area more vibrant.

The indexing diagram on the right hand side shows the conditions of road uses. People are attracted to the city cultural centers of the areas. The green junctions means they are potentially used by pedestrians frequently but lack of inviting facilities to encourage people to walk through them. The red junctions indicate that there are severe conflicts between motor vehicles and pedestrians. 18

BARRIERS OF THE GREEN CORRIDOR There are many reserviors, canals, grasslands, marsh grounds and other green buffer zones next to the site, but unfortunately their accessibilities are all very limited. They are not connected to the urban space very well and they are either hidden or blocked. So bringing new system to connect landscape resources to the city fabric is another key point of this project.

SUBJECT: Lingnan Art Museum TIME: 05/2010 - 07/2010 LOCATION: Baiyun Lake, Guangzhou TYPE: individual studio work TUTOR: Prof. Lu Qi 32
The Lingnan Art Museum will be sited on the eastern bank of Baiyun Lake, which is planned as a new site for tourist, culture, ecology and residence. As a main culture facility, the site of the musuem is wide and open. My proposal scheme is focused on intereaction between visitors and the site, also between exhibits and nature.

DEDISGN STRATEGY - LEADING THE VIEWS Most of museums in urban areas lock visitors inside. People tour museums without different senses of space. With the advantage of open environment, I try to guide visitors to appreciate the exquisite artworks inside and the beautiful nature outside.

COURTYARD DESIGN - LEARNING FROM CLASSIC As the Lingnan Art Museum, I put a courtyard reflecting the Chinese classic garden using modern language.
a classical garden in Canton
COURTYARD PLAN 37
The traditional Lingnan gardens are of an important style in Chinese classic gardens. They are small, simple and most surrounded by open and vertilated houses. Creating a pool and some objects symbolising the nature(which is by the same way in a potted landscape), the courtyard afford a place for a break and then lead visitors to lookout on an outdoor platform.

BRIEF SUMMARY This was the first time I experienced a large-scale public facility, and also the last architectue design in school studio before I turned into Landscape Architecture study. The complicated criteria of musuem design was a challenge to me. Orginising the relations between logistics and exhibits, balancing the shapes and fuctions took me much efforts. However, I felt passionate when I was coming up with ideas and making it better, especially improving the connections between the building and nature. Finally, I am satisfied with myself.

hinese classical garden enjoys a long history, and it contains a profound Chinese traditional culture. It has developed a unique theory and style in gardening. Some gardens are private places for their owners to get close to the nature and stay away from the stressful world. As the diagram shows, in a garden there are houses to rest in and meet guests. There are waters, hills and plants to shape a little heaven in an enclosure space. LANDFORMING

BRIEF SUMMARY As my first studio work of a landscape project, and the very first time I worked with my other three classmates, I poured much of the efforts into balancing different parts of the project. I felt responsible for making the whole scheme better, so I acted as a leader to control and check the work. All of us read plenty of references to learn the essence of Chinese classical gardens, and we discussed frequently to coordinate the relations among each part of work. Having done this, I learned how to cooperate with others, how to think generally, and how to be a team leader. Learning traditional garden as a starter, I realise that responsibility of reviving Chinese landscape is ours. With this awareness, I stepped into Landscape Architecture.
