Inundation
Boezem Boezem
The New Dutch Waterline (NDW) was built to defend Holland. It comprised of a system of waterworks for inundation and military elements for troops. The NDW is facing huge challenges as urbanization. This study will focus on the part around Utrecht of the New Dutch Waterline, one which is in urban fringe and urbanizing. The main research question is whether it is possible to transform the language (spatial elements and inundation image, the composition grammar and spatial features) of the NDW into a functional and narrative framework of urbanization, to realize legible heritage and water-sensitive urbanism. Windmill
Specifically, this proposal is aimed to provide an urbanization strategy in this special area, which can make the visible and invisible heritage legible (represent the defense line by inundation and reactive inaccessible heritage) and solve the urban problems (de-fragment and resilient water management). In this case, landscape plays the role as language and machine at the same time.

Strategy Four strategies are applied: 1.make use of the NDW structure to build a territory park system to frame the fragmented heritage and create a resilient urban water system; 2.transfrom the old city border to lively street to enhance the accessibility of the NDW; 3. Urbanize along the NDW to protect the spatial features and active the forgotten linear heritage; 4. Transform the closed forts and bunkers to community center.

Action I Narrative infrastructure and functional heritage
Action I Heritage Structure as Territory Park System It aims to make use of the NDW structure to build a territory park system to frame the fragmented heritage and create a resilient urban water system.Territory park system comprise three parts, green space around the heritage elements, water parks for resilient city and energy parks. New park system makes the fragmented heritage into a spatial entity which can be experienced. Water parks and energy parks not only provide the water management service and energy supply, but also represent the inundation image in a new way.

Action II From Border to Lively Street To enhance the accessibility of the NDW, the old city border, old elevated motorway will be transformed to a lively street. With the development of the city, the old infrastructure like the motorway does not function and becomes the barrier. Fast traffic will be separated to other urban road and it will be possible to cross. The old infrastructure will be re-shaped to enhance the link between space and space, human and environment, human and human. Space will be released as community public space by lowering down the motorway on the dike to ground. This street will be re-programmed based on the surrounding situation and the transportation will be organized more for the pedestrian and cycling. Some old structure are remained and changed into public space in a narrative way.

Action III Community along Heritage oute + Action IV The Fort as Community Center The NDW will be the structure of the community and urbanization will happen along the NDW to protect the spatial features and active the forgotten linear heritage. Settlement will be expand along the original dike of the NDW and the concrete groundwork of house combining with the dike will enhance the capacity of water defense. Inundation image will show up seasonally in these citizens’ daily life. Linear community will not destroy the open spatial feature, but active the experimental route. Diversified house type will be meet the need of different age group and different families, especially the young people and students.

Memory road and transition nodes Expect defragmenting, the different spatial characters are strengthen. The heritage elements are colored by different surroundings. These elements are like scattered in different space-time. Some of them are in nature, some in cultural landscape and some in urban landscape. Three of the transition nodes are shown as case. In the transition nodes, the experience from the different environments and heritage are stressed at the same time. Sound of poplar leaves which is typical in the clay polder, tactile impression of water in the canal, the feeling in the forest, sound of cars, and typical paving are mixed at the transition node. Therefore, people can feel the transform of environment and notice the different character of

Strategy and Blueprint
Every year, there are temple fairs for the water god held around the lake. Usually, there are also villagers to go to worship spontaneously. In 2013, the government expanded religious square, but destroyed the ecology, which reduced biodiversity. The lack of experience and destroried ecology restrict the development of tourism.
My proposal includes functional zoning adjustment, flexible space, and linear space to guide the behavior of tourists.
Shaxi is located in the mountainous area. Bailong Pool, as a water source, is also a religious place where old ritual is held every year. The rapid development of tourism promotes the construction of religious sites, but destroyed the ecology. The project aims for the balance of tourism, religion and ecology, including restoring the ecology and cultural traditions and developing tourism sustainably.

The main task around the water source is to ensure ecological diversity and water security. Therefore, main activities are guideed to the downstream. The entrance is relatively lively because it is connected with the village, which can provide activities for the villagers and visitors. The hydrophilic activities are arranged downstream. By contrast, considering the ecology and the security of water source, activities having negative impacts on water source are guided to the downstream. The area around the lake is quiet, which can provide habitats for the living creature.

Because of the high density of the block, a green space is planned by re-using abandoned factories to create a energitic community. We propose to allow local islamic residents to participate in the community construction with the help of service system combining organizating, managing, etc. Meanwhile, visitors can also involve in this process.
Construction Process as Design Tree Adoption Program: Children of the residents can adopt a sapling and manage it with their parents. The tree grows with the child. In this way, the cohesion of community can be increased. The woods is also the social place for the community. Neighbors can know each other in the process of planting trees

System and Strategy I Co-constructed Community
Co-constructing System The system consists of place making, tourism, business and m a n a g e m e n t . To u r i s m a n d commerce are the primary funding for the site operation,which supports the maintenance of public spaces and educational activities. The Government set up a fund to purchase modular components designed by architects and the residents themselves to participate in the improvement of the space. A tree adoption program is also set to increase the cohesion of the community.

Maastricht, Netherland Fall 2017 Academic Individual Project Supervisor: Joost Emmerik, joost@ joostemmerik.nl The thing surprises me on the site is the huge change of the quarry. Especially during the recent ten years, due to the human force and natural force, the quarry changed a lot. The logic behind the change is studied: the relationship among force, landform, vegetation and microclimate. This rule is applied in the design as the main concept. The relationship these element and the sense of human is studied. For the quarry, as an educational park, this process shows the public how nature changes with time. some little intervention in the nature would be designed to show the public the nature process, like the bridge, forest with different growing speed and wall.

Holwerd is on the only way to the famous holiday area, Ameland, Netherland. However, no one stop in the small village. At the same time, the village face a huge amount of problems. For the ecology, shland the coastal village face the risk of sea level rise. The important intertide area, mudflat may disappear because of this. At the same time, because of the construction of dike, the connection of the sweet water area and the sal water area is broken. Therefore, the gradient of ecosystem is affected because of ckish Water Wetland this. Moreover, because of dredging ror shipping, lots of money is spent on dredging. What’s worse, the turbidity is produced by dredging and sediment on the water would influence the growth of seagrass, which is the base of the whole ecosystem. Apart from this, new program should be introduced to interest the transient visitors and memory about tide, nature and mudflat hiking should be revived to keep the local and also other visitors.

Villa Mingyue is located in a beautiful farm in Sichuan which is surrounded by mountains. One of the main tasks is how to guide the surrounding landscape inside the building. A sequence of indoor, garden and territory is proposed. Villa Mingyue is owned by a big family and four generations live there. However, the older generation has totally different opinions from the younger one. For the older generation, they stick to the traditional beliefs and prefer Chinese classic architecture, while for the younger one who studied and lived in America for years, prefer to modern architecture. Therefore, a concept translating traditional architecture in a modern way to balance this difference is proposed. At the same time, both of them hope to own their seprerated space because of different habits. Public space is inserted into the private space to encourage the communication among family members.
