Forest Walk PROJECT SIZE: 180 * 140 Meter2
DESIGN BRIEF: A ramp grading project over Maribyrnong river provides healing and pleasant walking experience in forest to the Barcelona Pavilion.
ACADEMIC WORK: SITE TECTONICS SEMESTER 2 2017
The project concerns ramp design and fits the deisgn into landscape context of Maribyrnong river banks, aiming to offer an unique journey for people. The design process focuses upon topography manipulation with cut and fill, hierarchical ramp design of site contours and grading calculation and renders using 3ds Max, meanwhile applying a new plant strategy to the site cooperated with designed resting landings between ramps.
PROJECT TYPE: Group Project My involvement in group: Ramp Design, Grading Calculation, 3ds Max Render, Volume Calculation

HYDROLOGY ANALYSIS
VOLUME CALCULATION • Volume change by cut and fill of the topography • Create canyon-like effect for the landscape • Enhance the sense of natural forests • Reference to the Dandenong Ranges walking trails

SITE ANALYSIS Group Site Analysis: I responsible for all the graphics shown in this page
Therry Street section
• Seats along the street • Weak design of streetscape • Lack of uses
QVM & SURROUNDING CONTEXT Queen Street section
• Mainly occupied by on-street parking space • lack of flexibility of pedestrian movement • Safety hazard

MUNRO SITE DEVELOPMENT Tram Station
Delivery, storage & waste management facilities
Future potential mixed use development Current car park, a potential backyard of 1.5 hectare accommodating market growth

Distinctive from current market benches, it is in curvy shape both for sitting, leaning and lying down.
At the intersection of Queen Street & Therry Street, the information centre includes the market history, map, events to present QVM's as a tourism landmark.
Vehicle flow around QVM, gurantee the access to the car park of Munro site & enhance market predestrian environment

Natural Gallery PROJECT SIZE: 1.78 hectares
ACADEMIC WORK: LANDSCAPE STUDIO 4: DESIGNED ECOLOGIES SEMESTER 2 2018
DESIGN BRIEF: The Natural Gallery is an innovative outdoor exhibit project integrated gallery and open space together. Located at the centrepiece of central urban education zone, this project reinforces Melbourne's role as an art city by offering education values for pubilc with ecological strengths of urban green space and water features. The objectives of design include vibrant gallery tour, seasonal features and pleasant experience in nature, which provide local residents, students and visitors with diverse opportunities in the place.
PROJECT TYPE: Individual Project
The site indicates a challenge of stormwater flooding, therefore, essential design resolution concerning ephemeral water system design is applied to the site. Moreover, water features play an important role in enhancing the temporality and expressive force of the landscape.
