JANICE QIYUAN JIANG, AN EMERGING GRADUATE LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT.

Growing up in a city featured by classic Chinese garden and lake landscape, Hangzhou, I have developed deep interests in plants, natural scenery and talents of landscape sketch since childhood.

Having 6 years' study background in Melbourne, I gained a wide range of experiences in landscape architecture, masterplanning, sustainable development and future-oriented design. I am determined to pursue a career in landscape architecture discipline, with a strong passion to balance human impact and environmental integrity addressing sustainability and community wellbeing.

My international background has shaped my character to be open-minded and inspired by a diversity of people and places. By sharing and collaboration, I am highly motivated to work with a creative enthusiasm and a positive attitude.

PORTLAND, VICTORIA, AUSTRALIA ACADEMIC INDIVIDUAL THESIS, LANDSCAPE DESIGN 07/2021 SIDH SINTUSINGHA (ACADEMIC), MATT SYKES (INDUSTRY) HTTPS://YOUTU.BE/W9ZUHDYV5OE

The thesis project is a collaboration with the Great Victoria Bathing Trail (GVBT), which proposes the development of geothermal hot springs with ecotourism value at the distinctive coastal landscapes of Cape Bridgewater, Portland, without depriving the values of ecology and conservation.

The GVBT is an iconic 900km tourism route connecting hot springs, bathing and wellbeing experiences across Victoria’s southern coastline. It's of great significance to spread Australian bathing culture and its world-renowned aquatic and marine ecosystems. This landscape architecture thesis project research the geothermal energy and ecological values along the western coastal line of Victoria with planning analysis, further nail down to a piece of 15-hectare coastal land at Cape Bridgewater, Portland, the birth place of Victoria.

This thesis demonstrates an innovative hot spring project blends into the agenda of land conservation and regeneration through landscape design and energy innovation.

Design strategies amplify the natural heritage, geological features and local culture by a regenerative ecotourism program of coastal bush walks, hot spring sanctuary and geothermal-powered planting business. The programs form a sustainable narrative of Portland for visitors to experience an historic coastal town with unique natural assets and attractions, in a bid to encourage a positive collaboration between local communities, developers and visitors to protect and enjoy the distinctive coast.

GEELONG, VICTORIA, AUSTRALIA INDIVIDUAL ACADEMIC, LANDSCAPE PLANNING 07/2019 CHRISTOPHER NEWMAN

This landscape planning project establishes a 20km green corridor along a proposed HSR (high speed railway) from Melbourne to Geelong which is expected to take place in 2050. It demonstrates how nature can be used to enhance climate change mitigation strategies and compensates the possible carbon emissions caused by HSR infrastructure work.

Current research identifies there are significant opportunities of marine ecosystem under vulnerable conditions over the world. The intention of the masterplanning of green infrastructure is to transform the greater Geelong and Queenscliff into a carbon positive region by the establishment of connected natural carbon sinks.

Data-driven design is the key to the masterplanning of the green corridor.

Through GIS analysis the project firstly put forward the most cost efficient route of the HSR, which the green corridor should be established along.

The design followed by 2 detailed planning areas each with a radius of 5km of a terrestrial aforestation land and a coastal destination of mangrove habitat and salt marshes. The design purposes not only lend credence to the scientific calculation of a great number of carbon emssions that can be stored in natural habitats, but also re-establish healthy marine ecosystems for ecotourism and cultural significance, particularly the mangrove habitat which is a decreasing natural precious over the world.

CONCEPT PLAN The 20 km HSR planning corridor from Wyndham to Queenscliff is consisted of two natural components with significant ecological values to absorb and store carbon emissions: • a blue carbon sink corridor coast corridor of wetlands, salt marshes & riparian forests; • a green carbon sinks corridor a forest corridor of grassland, agri-forests & wood forests Two large existing wetlands adjacent to the planned HSR are significant natural water patches for relative ecosystems including freshwater wetlands and salt-marshes extending to the restored mangrove habitats along Geelong and Queenscliff coast.

MASTER PLAN

In the design process, the visual impacts of the green corridor to the HSR is significantly considered. It is mostly achieved by the three planning goals of: • marine ecosystem restoration • agri landscape protection • inland wetlands restoration From economic perspective, the HSR enables a fast movement of people travelling to the Greater Geelong City, with the extensive pasture landscape and marine ecosystem restoration, it is able to shift Geelong in to a tourism destination with educational and environmental significance.

CARLTON BREWERY SITE, MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA INDIVIDUAL ACADEMIC, LANDSCAPE DESIGN 07/2018 MARGARET GROSE

This innovative outdoor exhibit project integrates open art gallery and WSUD to solve the stormwater issue at the Carlton brewery site in an artful way, meanwhile transform the site to a diverse educational hub as well as an active public space. Located at the centrepiece of Melbourne's urban education zone, the Carlton brewery site is an 1.34 hectare residential block adjacent to the RMIT Design Hub, this project is a visionary plan to re-design the site as a public realm that reinforces Melbourne's role as an art city by offering art and educational values concerning ecological strengths of urban green space and water features to the public. The design objectives include outdoor gallery tour, dynamic water system and urban forest strategies, which provide residents, students and visitors with a pleasant experience of urban escape.

This site indicates a challenge of stormwater management within the Elizabeth Street Catchment. The grading level is measured as 1:11 along the Swanston street from north to south, resulting in flooding flows from the same aspect across the site. Therefore, ephemeral water system design is the key to transform the challenge of stormwater into a living feature unique to the site, which plays an important role in enhancing the temporality and expressive force of landscape. On the other hand, diverse sensory experiences are achieved through water performance, planting strategies and shading design to allow visitors fully immersed in the art and natural atmosphere.

The regular recharge of ground water forms an ephemeral water system on the ground level. While the level difference allows observation of planting treatment and purified water system underground through the designed living "rain gallery", which is both a biotic and artful expression of the living gallery.

Sidney Myer Asia Centre

Melbourne University Tram Station

The creative installation of a new water wall structure is responding to the development of new student precinct, which is considered as the next student hotspot around the University of Melbourne. The design intention of the water wall is able to attract students from the Swanston entrance to the new student precinct and performs an iconic gateway. Meanwhile, the water flow is designed to connect the revitalise the temporarily closed large water wall of the Sidney Myer Asia Centre.

The southern corner of Sidney Myer Building indicates a distinctive feature of the existing water wall where currently under construction, whereas the water wall is not under use for years and the feature of rock garden kerb has became a "rubbish kerb". With site investigation, my interest lends credence to revitalise these neglected features through streetscape design with the advantages brought by the opportunities of the proposed new student precinct.

This project is both a street installation design and a documentation of construction details. The construction details records the material, concrete footing structure, water wall engineer system and installation details, which proves the feasibility of the water wall and an improvement upon the existing large water wall connected with the building.
