SUPPORTING THEORIES
INFORMATION-PROCESSING THEORY
PROSPECT-REFUGE THEORY DESIGN CONCEPTS
Formulated by Rachel and Steven Kaplan, the information processing theor y values information as the centre to the relationship between human and their surrounding environment. Standing on the biological perspective, this theory assumes that throughout generations, human, with their high-developed capacity to process large amounts of information which can build their edge over the competition in the natural environment, could gain more satisfaction in information-rich environments. This theory co m p r ises fo u r l a n ds c a p e c h a ra c te r i s t i c s : co m p l e xi t y, coherence, legibilit y and myster y, with an under lying understanding-exploration framework. It suggests that a preferred landscape should include all these four predictors, which can be considered as a flexible and useful toolkit for landscape design, planning and management. Therefore, this theoretical framework would be applied to this project. Taking it as a guidance, a path design would be generated to augment the information that could be conveyed by the natural environment, and thereby elicit human aesthetic satisfac tion to the site. The design output would also be used to examine and review the theor y back wards.

Stemming from the habitat theory, Appleton suggested that human beings, as hunters and gatherers, must be able to spot prey or possible predators without being spotted, in other words, they generally require a broader sight of view and opportunities to hide when in danger. In the view of that, he postulated the prospect-refuge theory, considering the ability to see without being seen as a more important factor for landscapes to stimulate aesthetic satisfaction. Pro s p e c t i s d e f i n e d a s a va nt a g e p o i nt i n t h e n at u ra l environment, where offers an unimpeded and wide view to see the landscape, and visually satisfies humans’ biological needs by indicating the surrounding environment is free from danger. Correspondingly, the refuge is defined as a place where offers an opportunity for concealment. Considering practical landscape design, the classification of prospect and refuge symbols offers an intuitive sense in discussing landscapes, and a useful guidance for landscape designers. In this design, the theory would be applied to a pavilion design which aims to offer prospect and refuge opportunities a t t h e s a m e t i m e w i t h a f l e x i b l e b a l a n c e i n b e t we e n prospect and refuge, offering various visual experience.

The site has complex surroundings, which is the first challenge it is facing. In such diverse environment, an intent is designed to reconnect the site with adjacent areas and relink the post-mining quarry with varied landscapes as well as the Dunbar city, encouraging local people to access and enjoy this area. In addition, the site contains a great amount of nature resources, including some rear birds and mammals. So how to provide programs that fulfil public desires with minimum disturbance to existing natural system is the second challenge. The third challenge is related to the topography and hydrology. Since the existing topography of the site is similar to a basin, much of the surface water flows into this area, which not only gives more pressure to local water level control but also causes water contaminating problems.

STRUCTURE The topography is the foundation of this design. After design, it would maximise the time that water flows through the ground surface and let vegetation to have the highest exchange rate. These proposals go beyond picturesque, creating instead a revitalised, multi-faceted waterscape that forms the connection between people and nature. Above the topography is the multifunctional planting design. Carefully arranged trees can act as shelter belt to avoid the erosion from wind over the sea, and as a green border to create quiet and natural spaces away from the working quarry. In the south of the site, there is a ‘window’ left for the train to give passengers a quick show of the site, attracting visitors from the further fields. In this design, all the open grassland and meadow can offer spaces for outdoor activities, and can provide initial habitats for butterflies, bees and other pollinators. About the hierarchy of constructions, the primary one is the visitor centre, the secondary is the lookout platforms and towers as the highlights of the design, and the rest is the bird hides and shelter seats, lying along the main path as the recreation areas of the site.

The last layer is the circulation routes. The main path is designed to connect the surroundings, to promise taht people can easily and conveniently get all the highlights and focal points. The secondary footpath is concentrated on the edge of the wetland and recreation zones. Its function is not only to define the limit of the wetland but also to connect different recreation areas such as bird hides. In this design, there are also some boardwalks to allow people get closer to the wetland, nature and wildlife.

DESIGN CONCEPT The concept of the design is to relink people and city with nature, providing intimate experiences with water and wetland; To create rich and diverse recreational opportunities, so that local people can spend their day to relax and recreate; To offer learning and research opportunities to people of all age. The identity of this design is linked to two main roles: As a nature reserve area to sustain and protect a range of habitats and species; As an attractive and accessible recreational resource for local communities and visitors.

The selected site is surrounded by two walls in nor th and east. Winter garden is in the north-east corner of this site, and the western paving is the main north-south connection of this park.

The concept is to create an interactive and stimulating outdoor teaching garden mainly for school communities. All the materials are considered carefully so that the structure can age well in the external context with low maintenance. As an echo of the Winter Garden, children can be taught outside surrounded by nature. Nature brought into this structure to help create a stimulating outdoor learning environment. All the vegetation in this structure can act as a teaching aid, students can grow their own food and watch how the plants develop over time. Since the teaching garden is mainly designed for school communities, red rubber was chose as the material of paving which is ideal for play surface and it is also a recycled product.The specie for lawn is Kidney Vetch, it does not require mowing as it is a low maintained green cover specie that can be maintained by people stepping on it. The material for edges is stainless steel which can provide a clear and thin edge between the rubber and lawn. In terms of the central playground, its structure is similar to an auditorium and the central circular space is designed for outdoor teaching, performances and play time. The steel wire can support climbers grow up, the plant pots between columns and in the platform can bring nature into this structure, and combine education and cultivation together.

In this design, materials are carefully considered, based on colour feature, sense of touch, durability, safety, reusability and sustainability, so that the structure can age well in the external context with low maintenance. And plants are combined with the design to help create a stimulating outdoor learning environment. All the vegetation integrated with the structure can act as a teaching aid, students can grow their own food and watch how plants develop over time. Besides, after plants grow up, the feature of this structure will change and become more sheltered and green with seasonal colour changes. The whole design would fade into the background of hedges and the scene of Saughton park.

ANALYSIS | EXISTING HOUSE
The existing house is one of the listed buildings in Huangpen Village. This two storey farmhouse was built up with local material based on a common Chinese wood structure oh house. The house reflects a glimpse of Chinese residential buildings that can date back to Qing dynasty. However, this house with the great value of demonstration and protection has not been wellmaintained. some of it were demolished. At present, there is no one living in this house. It is mainly occupied by household items and agricultural machines that belong to neighbours.
