PREFACE Scalable Transformation
"When several villages are united in a single complex community, large enough to be nearly or quite selfsufficient, the polis comes into existence." --Aristotle Ecological city is an organic and heterogeneous one in which urban actors reflect, shape and accelerate each other's transformation. Within the complex urbanism, Connectivity and Scale have always functioned in my urban design study. I see urban design as a tool to integrate multi-scalar urban actors and establish a connective network catalyzing the transformation of economic, social and spatial context. The process of urban evolution is revealing potential agency of change, and link them into an ecological loop. With the spatial manifestation and social intrigue, the network of economic and social actors will be trigered to transform. My year of architecture and urban design at GSAPP mainly focuses on exploring how multi-scalar urban actors network connect with spatial design and initiate a larger impact on distinct context.

About “Collective waterscapes” envisions Paraiba Valley cities as unified players for improving the water and health quality of the greater region of Mina Gerais, Sao Paulo, and Rio de Janeiro. The region currently faces two main water management issues — inhabitants’ unhealthy cyclical relationship with Paraiba Do Sul, a lifeline for the mid-Paraiba region, and an unsustainable water treatment process centralized at the Guandu Water Treatment Plant. To address these water issues, this proposal establishes a landscape framework for future waste water management by maneuvering surfaces and implementing simple place-making strategies. Our approach proposes AGEVAP, an interstate committee of the hydrographic basin of Paraiba do Sul River, to be the primary agent to direct small scale waste water treatment interventions in coordination with local governments, organizations and residents, while enforcing them through policies. By providing local actors with the tools and techniques to implement waste water treatment micro-infrastructures into the city fabric, a new urbanity of culture and living will emerge from the water systems that sustain it.

SCALES OF WATER CLEANING Combing all scales of water infrastructures, this proposal is a showcase of the variety of scenarios of hybridizing water infrastructures and public spaces along a prototypical tributary. Replicating this along the Paraiba, the collective effort of cities can capture, reuse and clean water before it flows into the Paraiba do Sul, contributing to a healthier water ecology for the larger region.

REGIONAL DISPERSED WATER TREATMENT AND COLLECTIVE WATERSCAPES AGEVAP is envisioned to spearhead these scales of water cleaning interventions, not only to achieve national health goals, but to also re-imagine the region as a series of united cities that clean the river to attract new industries and economies. Embedded within a restored ecology this proposal generates a healthy relationship between the cities and the river. To implement this vision this project focused their design on the creation of new urban centralities through the synergies between water infrastructure and socioeconomic spaces. Driven by the design principle of manipulating surfaces and landform to make the processes of water more visceral and visible, a series of spatial typologies are grafted onto water infrastructures to create social and recreational spaces. Most importantly, these considerations will become "locally rooted" through decision making and participation at the community and municipal scale, allowing residents to foster a healthy relationship with the river.

Divergent Narratives, Newborn Newburgh
GSAPP Urban Design Core Studio - Urban Actions and Emergent Regions in the Hudson River Valley Sep 2015 - Dec 2015, Newburgh, NY Urban Design & Urban Planning Project Instructor: Lee Altman, Justin G. Moore Team Work Team Member: Yi-Yen Wang, Adrinee Bodakian, Karan Daisaria Role in Team: Economic, Social and Spatial research in Newburgh, Macro-scale Planning and Micro-scale Design, Digital Modeling, Drawing Representation, Video Representation
About Newburgh is a city in distress but it need not stay that way. Newburgh’s social problems begin with poverty, and include crime, unemployment, poor transportation and underserved youth. In short, the people of Newburgh lack social mobility. In particular, the street infrastructure is in a dire state, lighting is poor, streets frontages are in disrepair and open, building stock is deteriorated, and crime is common. Exacerbating this conditions, public transportation is inefficient, infrequent and disconnected. Finally, the city has insufficient educational programs for youth and insufficient employment opportunities for adults. The design approaches Newburgh’s social and physical immobility via 4 scalable strategies, Infrastructure, Programming, Transport and Employment. Each of these strategies complements the others, forming a new constellation of intervention in Newburgh and also the Hudson Valley. The design idea is associated with a divergent urban story telling.
01 LACK OF STREET SAFETY 16 per 1000 Newburgh residents have been victims annually in the city. 3 in every 4 crime offenders are in the age of 15 to 20.

LOST STREET IN NEWBURGH With Low street safety, poor streetscape and the broken publc facilities. Newburgh remains under the pressure of crime and some factors that co relate with the existing crime and safety situation are - unemployment , lack of transportation and high density of kids lacking of after school program. The lack of accessibility to public facilities through transportation and the existing unefficient single loop system further strengthens the need of a new and improved transport system.

MUTUAL COMPLIMENTING FRAMEWORK Strategies are to create a viable means of literal and social mobility. The limitations of employment, public transportation and afterschool programs will be helped by a well connected systems embedded within and around the city fabric .
TYPOLOGY OF INFRASTRUCTURE Poles along the street with the functions of lighting, gymnasium, seat, water fountain, way finding system and etc..
HYBIRDIZED LIGHTING AS SOCIAL INFRASTRUCTURE Multi-functional lightings perform a strong gesture and offer energetic activities for citizens. Standing on a paved pedestrian path, the lighting break the deadly street ambience.
MASTER PLAN Certain corridors were most used by children will be targeted for an array of improvements, from lighting and street furniture to school and recreational activities. Street facing vacant properties will be programmed for educational and job training spaces for underserved school-aged youth.

CONTEXTUAL AND REGIONAL CONNECTION The “Light Ups” will be manufactured within Newburgh. The production system is divided into 5 elements – location analysis, materials, transport facility, funding and execution. We identified various stakeholders in the city for each of these elements. The city’s planning department, along with other agencies such as the Police, shall identify the locations for intervention. The city of shall designate two publiclyowned warehouses for redevelopment as manufacturing facilities. Materials partners are local companies such as Hudson Valley Lighting, Newburgh Metal Fabricator and Heights Lumber Center.

Guangzhou Steel Factory Renewal
Undergraduate 4th Year Studio - Culture and Preservation Mar 2014 - Jul 2014, Guangzhou Urban Design Project Instructor: Jin Yan Solo Work Top 15 in the National Competition of Urban Design, 2014 Top 20 in AECOM URBAN SOS, 2014
About Struggling under the rapid urbanization in China, those industrialized areas not compatible with urban senario are confronting transformation. The Guangzhou Steel Factory which located in urban area has to come to an end. Where will it go? Industrialization is the base of a rising city hence factory represents a memory of glorious steel age. So instead of being demolished, the factory is expected to be preserved physically and to be transformed into art industrial zone. However, just as the precedent like 798 Industrial Zone, under a series of automatically social sequences, SoHo effect and gentrification, land value will be raised and art wil be replaced by commerce. This social structure can’t attain a sustainable art industrial zone. To solve the predicaments above, the strategies of a new land use pattern and an economic development are introduced as approaches. Specifically, mixed-use land development and curving up leasing mode are used to catalyze multi-functions spaces, in which open spaces, public infrastructure and ecological park integrate around. By this hybridization, an economically, socially and ecologically asustainable art industrial zone is created.

WATER AS REMEDIATION
Proposal of Jiangmen Cement Factory Renewal
SCUT-Berkeley International Workshop - Industrial Reformation Dec 2013 and Sep 2014, Jiangmen, China Research & Urban Design Project Instructor: Peter Bosselman & Yimin Sun Team Work Collaboration: Yulong Li Selected to Exhibit on the 4th Annual Berkeley Circus
About This project focuses on pollution remediatation to ecologically sustain a factory's development. The Jiangmen Cement Factory, locating in the downtown of Jiangmen and full of the city's memory, has already stopped production and will be demolished. owever, efforts can be made to preserve the factory, and to transform it into an open space with vitality. To sustain the development of our site, we proposed to use water and vegetation as the medium to activate the factory. First, we researched deeply on the pollution in our site and came up with the ecological way to address the issue. Then by in-deep studying of topographic and hydrologic data, we conducted transformed layout of water system. Finally, according to hydrological features, different spaces were designed for public activities.
POLLUTED SITE ON UPSTREAM The post-industrial site locates in the upper position of Jiangmen River, connecting the West River and Tan River. If pollution is released from the factory to river, it will affect the water quality of downstream areas.

Lung Tsun Stone Bridge Remnants Preservation Corridor
International Design Competition - Historical Preservation Sep. 2013 and Nov. 2014, Hongkong, China Landscape & Urban Design Project Instructor: Dr. Jiang Feng Team Work Collaboration: Yiyao Liu, Yumeng Gu Role in Team: Team Leader, Conceptual Design, History Analysis, Site Analysis, Landscape Design
About In 2008, The 300 meters long Lung Tsun Stone Bridge was excavated in Kaitai District, which will be developed to a new business center. After public discussion, the bridge has been suggested to be preserved in situ. The design is to turn the preservation corridor to a open space in which citizens can perceive the uniquely old scenario of the bridge. This project aims to achieve the sustainability of historical contexts, blending the bridge culture into the modern physical environment. A path against the remnants for viewing to evoke people to recall the past is created. The diffenrent combinations of materials shape different old scenes. When it comes to the underground space design, commercial streets integrate with the bridge, allowing citizens to recreate when enjoying the historical legacy.

TRANSPARENCY Given the existing elevation, there could be two layers of space for visitors to view the bridge. Moreover, the bridge is surrounded by shallow water on the ground floor. using glass as the transition of the two layers can not only allow underground to gain sunlight, but let people freely switch to different layers.

GARDEN STORY Lingnan Hotel Design
Undergraduate 3rd Year Architecture Studio Oct. 2012 and Dec. 2012, Guangzhou, China Architectural Design Project Instructor: Dr. Linhai Luo Individual Work
About The integration of traditional garden and modern building has been a design trend, which combines people, nature and architecture perfectly. This site lies close to the Lingnan's Impression Garden. In order to continue the historical environment and lingnan gardens' inspirit. I integrated the linnan gardens' elements into the hotel design. The design is based on "the impression of Lingnan" and combined with the unique garden in lingnan culture. I extract the traditional gardens' elements and transform them in group combination. By incorporating them in architectural space, l created the various themes gardens, in which the guests can appreciate the different garden landscape. Wandering through the different gardens in the hotel, the guests can experience a story about the lingnan garden.

TOWARDS NATURE Museum Design
Undergraduate 3rd Year Architecture Studio Apr. 2013 and Jun. 2013, Guilin, China Architecture Design Project Instructor: Prof. Xiaohong Ling Team Work Collaboration: Hongduo Zhuo
About Given the site location in Guilin, a poetic city full of natural charm, the first thing came to my mind was its natural ambience, citizens, architectures and city within landscape. As a public space, museum should respond the regionalism, becoming a venue maximizing the perception of natural culture. Chinese scroll paintings, in which mountains and rivers blend into each other, contain the discipline of nature. By abstracting these natural features, integrating the local landscape elements, and translating them into modern scenario, the museum can not only reflect the locality but also be a space for citizens to experience nature.

SPATIAL ABSTRATION FROM ANCIENT LANDSCAPE PAINTING The organic morphology of mountains and rivers can be abstracted into architecture and circulation. The relationship between landscape represents the transformative scales of space and circulation. Within this dynamic system, visitors are able to perceive different natural scenes in different spatial scales.

1 DIALOGUE WITH CITY Different possibilities to enter the site maximize the accessibility to visitors and the interacting with city.
2 LANDSCAPE ELEMENTS Concertrated landspace areas reveals the citizens' preference in the existing site.
3 ARMATURE The landscape layout forms an obvious axis, allowing the museum to integrate into the dynamic landscape system.
4 DEFINING SPACE The museum becomes a relatively static building, as a 'mountain' standing on the site.
5 ABSORBING SURROUNDING LANDSCPAE The building is inlaid into nature. A thicked path is created to connect the space with surrounding landscape.
6 CIRCULATION An exhibition circulation can be created and citizens could perceive the nature from inside and outside the building.

GSAPP Fall 2015 Urban Seminar: Fabric and Typology GSAPP Spring 2016 Architecture Course: Advanced Algorithm Instructor: Prof. Richard Plunz, Prof. Toru Hasegawa, Prof. Mark Collins Solo Work Exhibited at 2016 GSAPP End of Year Show About What if a city fabric can integrate bottom-up construction with top-down spatial planning? How will they transform? The project aims at visualizing the process of how informal settlements are being constructed against existing programmatic settlements. By using Processing, the existing figure ground and program images are translated to pixels with different hierarchy of grey for analysis. The new sites are assigned a behavior that they will pick the best spot which is empty and next to programs for occupation. The animation of the occupation shows the time-based process of informal housing generation against existing fabric, which is representing the bottom up construction above planned city fabric.

YELLOW DETECTIVE Data Visualization by Web Stack
GSAPP Fall 2015 Visual Study: Data Mining City Instructor: Prof. Danil Nagy Team Work Team Member: Zhe Fan, Daniel M Cooper, Xi Chen, Lindasy Friedman, Guangyue Cao, Cameron Cortez, Noele Anna Illien, Jiachuan Wu, Siu Tan Wong Role in Team: Concept Development, Client Front End, Html Coding
About Yellow Detective is a project in development, an MVP that exploits ubiquitous if often mundane data production to reveal novel connections integral to the function of cities. Yellow Detective makes good on the promise of a clearer vision of the present and the future made possible by data. It is the health salve that clears the smoke from our detective’s office and the bionic eyepiece to let us see through walls. The project begins by asking questions about the relationship of a person to a place. By exploratory research techniques, YD creates layers of data to reveal connections, and more importantly, to generate new questions, ways of inquiring, and means of visualization.
Focusing on the latent grey industry in Dongguan, Houjie, as originPlace which is a are famous for this service is chosen, and a time limit from 9pm to 4am is set. The assumption is that people who checkin during this very late time and at this place have a large possibility that they are prostitute’s client, so the places that these clients linking to might have interesting relationship with this hotel. Houjie has a strong relationship with Hongkong, Macau and Guangzhou, there are big correlation with Shenzhen but not as much as the 3 places mentioned before, certain small cities also emerge such as Foshan, Jiangmen and Zhaoqing. On the other hand, Houjie have a really big service radius across the whole PRD region.

About The program engineered key relationships influencing design and development including zoning, building cost and the environment, in order to find new relationships between traditionally separate or competing objectives to visualize speculative futures of the site and reposition and reorganize those relationships through a visualized evaluation process that challenges design and development preconceptions. Through this process a new design evaluating system is created, static and animate drawing that effectively communicated the intent of parametric design systems for evaluation and critique.

About In 2013, Gina Bellafante of the New York Times wrote that Brownsville has “an unusual kind of promise: it is a place so immune to gentrification that it is also immune to the negative fallout from gentrification, which means it has the capacity to serve as a template for a different model of revitalization” and that, “Brownsville has an authenticity for which there is no external market” Inspired by these sentiments, Unique Immunity Community works toward a provocation rather than a conclusion. Its purpose is to understand and explore Brownsville’s ‘immunity’ to gentrification and the ‘authenticity’ which this immunity both depends on, and in turn, reinforces.The video first contemplates how and why this immunity has occurred, and second, reveals the psychographic manifestations of this immunity: what it looks at feels like from the inside.
