03 PERC PARK ...More Than A Local Common Ground. Oslo, Norway
Design Competition Tool: AutioCAD, SketchUp, Photoshop, InDesign
Proj Overview Our focus is to implement a design that serves as an example for future socio-ecologically sustainable “perc parks” in Oslo, Norway. A “perc park,” or percolation park is a small-scale community gathering area that encourages people, water, and nature to all filter into one space, blending together water restoration, sustainability, and human interactions. Socio34 | Landscape Architecture Portfolio
ecological sustainability, as it applies to our site, is the idea of implementing sustainable infrastructure and materials, while also creating a space that provides individuals with a sense of belonging. This emphasizes our understanding of common ground as an interactive space that unites people together while also embedding ecological principles.
With our design we hope to alleviate CO2 emissions, reduce the urban heat island effect, and provide a better water restoration system, while also fabricating a space that is appreciated by its diverse users. We also plan to integrate the area’s post-industrial context into our design by providing a more sustainable alternative
to current conditions. Our site will serve as a small, experimental example of what can be accomplished in the future to create an elaborate chain of community-based open spaces that will connect throughout the urbanized areas of Oslo.

The design draws in users from near and far by providing a fun, interactive green space for a diverse range of individuals. This space serves multiple purposes, with spaces for community gathering, family play zones, and commercial destinations, consolidating its surrounding and uniting the environment in community.

Socio-ecological sustainability,
As it applies to our site, is the idea of implementing sustainable infrastructure and materials while also considering the social benefits of the design. In other words, not only do we wish to create a space that is seen as ecologically sustainable, but we also want our users to feel a sense of belonging to the site as well. The Oslo, Norway General Plan states that “future designs and development must ensure a contiguous green network and access to green areas within urban zones.” Our site will serve as a small, experimental example of what can be implemented in the future to create an elaborate chain of parks that

UNIVERSITY PARK Tying Together : All ... a globalized network of academics, professionals, community, and NATURE of the University Park Hainan, China Urban Planning Compeitition Tool: AutioCAD, Rhino, Photoshop, InDesign
Proj Overview
Tying Together is an visionary campus plan inspired by the local and the surrounding environment of Hainan Island. The goal for this conceptual plan is to provide a shared breeding ground for innovation and development for the five universities: China Agriculture University, Ocean University,Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Wuhan University, and Zhejiang University. Additionally, our main focus is to create interconnection within and beyond the campus
43 | Landscape Architecture Portfolio
and implement a design that serves as an example for the future socio-ecological sustainable University Park that ties the two major veins of Hainan, agriculture and water into one knot that is percolating through out the campus while maximizing the use of green spaces to promote local economies and human interactions with nature through the inspiration of a traditional Chinese tie (zi ran lv dong lian jie wei lai).
Site Context L ar g e
• Climate | Hainan’s climate is part tropical and part subtropical; the winter is not very cold –compared to the north or China, and the summer usually is rainy, and very warm. The daily mean temperature is 25,8°C, and the warmest month during the year is June. For the other side, the record low is 5,1°C, often in January. The dry season happens from December to march, when the average precipitation days does not reach more than four days per month. • Topography | Topography describes both the natural and man-made features of a place or region especially in a way to show their relative positions and elevations. Topography is
essential for landscape planners, and designers because it shows the natural and artificial positioning of the land. Hainan has a combination of savanna (28.7%), mountains (25.4%), hills (13.3%), and Mesa (32.6%). The island is also high in the middle, and lower on the borders, and has more than 1500 kilometers of beaches. • Agriculture and fishing | Hainan is rich in resources of species and vegetation, and is considered as a golden place for developing tropical agriculture with its own characteristics. In this area, tropical fruits are more common, as is the sea food a very important asset to the community economy, and local consumption.

- The smallest and southermost province of chiana, consisting of various island in the South China sea.
- A mojor role for the culture and the develpment of the local residents. Majority of the economy rely on the fishery and crops exportation.
45 | Landscape Architecture Portfolio
04. UNIVERSITY PARK | Site Context
Sanya is surrounded by moun providing great visual view an and vistors. However, this is m elevation of the Yazhou Bay.
• Demography | In 1957 only 2.91 million people lived on the island, which indicates that the population of Hainan has doubled in the last decades. In 2017 Hainan had a population of 9.26 million inhabitants of which a substantial part, 1.34 million, comprised of ethnic minorities (Gu & Wall, 2007). The livelihoods of the indigenous Li, Miao, Zhuang and Hui minorities, are mostly focused on agriculture. As observed during our field trip, the Li people live on boats and are mostly fishermen. • Economic Situation | Hainan is the biggest special economic zone in China. Since 1988, when the special economic zone was established, substantial flows of capital and labour have found their way to the island. While agriculture was the dominant industry on the island due to a lack of investment in the past, this isn’t the case anymore. Hainan is a major crops production and exporting to the rest of China. In addition, due to the beautiful scenery of tropical beaches, Tourism became a major source of income and increased more than 200 times in 15 years and the agricultural sector receives substantial investments nowadays.

DESIGN CONCEPT: Ties are an ancient intentional complication in cordage that is known for their practical uses and decoration. They are drawn to create tension in rope and tie objects together. There are many practical ties classified in different categories. A traditional tie consists of two members of rope. It can be adapted for heavyweight cables to decorative art. With its characteristic and interlocking method, this tie secures tying the vein of the local agriculture and Hainan’s Ningyuan River in a form of a living class room, University Park, that allows visitors to follow this tie and learn more from the environment.
Water Water is crucial for life on earth and consequently plays a major role on the campus. The livelihoods of the local Li-people have sparked new ideas to work differently with water. Floating markets will arise along the river and fishery is possible in the mangroves. Furthermore, every tap on campus will provide fresh drinking water. Additionally, retention basins will hold water during large storm events and percolate back into the water table when not raining. Agriculture The island of Hainan is a special place in China due to its subtropical and tropical climates, making it a unique place for growing crops. Tropical regions around the world are rich in biodiversity from the thousands of years of weathering of soils, from soils once rich in nutrients to soils that are red and depleted, and in the process turning those nutrients from rocks into biological life. We hope to bring some of this biodiversity back and lock in the richness through creating a campus intertwined around its food and agriculture.
The traditional Chinese knot consists of two ropes tied together and interwoven the campus framework. The ‘tie’ from our 1 represents agriculture and water. As water melds with agriculture and agriculture with water, the living classroom is formed as the essential linkage of the overall campus plan.

Campus as Valley : Utilizing the natural topography of the site allows the campus to act as a natural filter to cleanse the water before flushing into the ocean.
Filtering Storm Water : The Campus landscape acts as a system, directing the flows of rainwater, river and ocean currents as one cohesive filter, supported by the landscape and integrated with the campus life.

The Wei Yang He Riverwalk Channel is located in the center of the University Park campus. Our goal for the Riverwalk is to promote social interaction among all users and visitors especially with the local community. The design is emphasizing the importance of the existing community and their traditions and lifestyle along the water. In our riverwalk area, there are social gathering venues, vendor stalls for the local community to utilize as well as water filtration and ecological habitat in this channel.

| Green Strip of Agriculture
“The University Park, an integrative living farm experience,� linking food and agriculture to students and researchers on-site as well as to farmers from local communities via a variety of interlinked demonstration plots throughout the campus connected via a continuous flow of linking farm strips that run alongside pedestrian thoroughfares, roads and green spaces. Each farm area has a unique cropping concept, designs of which intends to include agroforestry with tropical crops and native Hainan species, integrating animals for manure, organic nutrient management systems, living shorelines of wetlands and mangroves
that integrate fish and shrimp farming with water purification and carbon sequestration, and technologies like mid-ocean fish farming pods with a shoreline dock. Agriculture on campus is uniquely designed as a living experience that we hope will touch upon all senses of University Park campus goers, from the visual, auditory, and olfactory. Educational farm walks to see and be guided with an app to scan a QR code and listen to recorded farm tours or attend weekly farm tours.

The agricultural strips connect the plots with the aesthetic landscape as one campus system. With the layout of strips alongside circulation network, they sweep between buildings to deliver the agricultural experience into the core of the University Park. This linking system of strips is not only to integrate the research system for the campus, but also designed to benefit the local economy of Hainan’s community through the implementation of different crops throughout the campus.
04. WATER + AGRICULTURE + ARCHITECTURE | The Living Classroom MUTI-LEVEL DESIGN : An effective infrastructural measure to reduce heat island effect on buildings are the implementation of green roofs. Intensive green roofs have a thicker substrate layer and therefore carry more weight. The substrate is the media in which the plants sit, whose thickness depends on the desired vegetation. This can vary from grass or herbs to trees. Intensive green roofs generally require an irrigation system and regular maintenance, just like ordinary gardens. They can capture the rainwater which is not absorbed by the substrate layer; this can be used for irrigation purposes.
