Neo-Pescetarianism
#Waterfront #Diettrends #Foodindustry #Climateresilient #Campaign #Sustainableseafood #Renewableenergy
“We believe what we eat can change the world.’’
Global warming is a long-existing problem. Its consequences may still not seem apparent, but by the year 2050, many of us around the globe will be experiencing a different degree of loss. Brighton is one of the British vacation hot spots that will be threatened by 2050, which it’s famous coastline and beaches will be submerged into the English Channel. The anticipated sea-level rise of 1.5m results in the flooding of the beach and its nearby facilities, including the aquarium. Our paved way for the creation of a new strategy of sustainable framework and lifestyle will provide a new alternative of living by the sea. The solution of reacting to climate change is all about a recipe and a new trend of diet and the development model behind the scenes. The revolutionary diet, Neo-Pescetarianism, that includes fish and shellfish while excluding land-based meat products could add an extra layer of sustainability to push it forward.

Site Function Diagram
The idea of Pescetarianism dates back to 1991, but we would like to introduce it in a new form by also securing sustainable aquaculture whilst encouraging the redevelopment of a healthy marine ecosystem and emphasizing a new form of energy-seaweed electricity, redefining our consumption and production behaviour. This new metabolism sees the input of seaweed and shellfish not just to meet our consumption, but also to re-define those outputs as the means of green energy and accommodation of marine habitats
The value of seaweed is often being neglected in the business of sustainability. The growth of seaweed in the sea also benefits the ecosystem by absorbing CO2, currents and protecting the shore. By investing and consuming seaweed, and reducing meat consumption at the same time, the local business will be a step closer to achieve a carbon negative model. Oyster will serve an important role in this new development scheme. Similar to seaweed, the oyster reef also provides a suitable habitat for marine wildlife It cleans the water and breaks the currents. Moreover, it is the source of protein with the least cost of greenhouse gas. Visitors are eventually guided through this meaningful change with the help of our meticulously designed menu.

Co-living With Nature Is The New Norm
2020.08
Only 66.6% of fish stock is not being exploited globally. Fish species that are common among fishers in Brighton are actually threatened species. Therefore, we aim to re-create the marine habitat with aquaculture. The full development of an oyster reef takes 6 to 7 years. Non-living materials such as limestone piles, nets and box structure are used to facilitate the growth of oysters. Together with the seagrass plantation, it creates habitat for small fish like Mackerel and Anchovy. By the third year the oysters spawning occurs, they also serve the function of cleaning the seawater, creating a better habitat. Then it matures by the fourth to fifth year as several generations of oysters have been developed, also attracting larger threatened predator fish.
Sports & Harbour Bath Complex
Neo-Pescetarianism
Tidal Aquarium
Water Activities Promenade
Fishing: Brighton’s Old Fashion
Brighton has always been a famous recreational spot among locals and tourists. We treasure this reputation, therefore recreational function is never neglected in the design. Harbour bath is created for people of all ages and abilities while the water sports area encourages a variety of water sports, including canoeing, paddle padding and diving. An underwater tidal aquarium is being designed in order to give visitors a better understanding and experience. Global warming may have caused an adverse impact on Brighton, but it also created opportunities for better experiences and functions which contributes to our mother earth. The brand new public realm refills the loss of touristic treasures that were destroyed by the global climate crises, with a special added value of local educational meaning.
This scheme brings numerous benefits, both locally and globally. In addition to the global benefits stated above, it encourages growth in the local economy by promoting tourism and enhancing the development of local aquaculture. A stable and prosperous economy ensures stable investment in the power plant, which in turn supports local needs, as well as the conservation of the local marine ecosystem. This infinite loop of benefits supports the community in the long run.

Slow Down, Speed Up!
#PostCovid #ReimagineCity #Covid19 #Cardio #PublicRealm #Exercise #Sport #Lifestyle
It is reported that 20 minutes of exercise a day reduces the risk of developing depression by 31%. Therefore, we believe that the best way to get prepared is to develop a habit of exercising everyday. This goal can be easily achieved by commuting. We designed a two-way cycling path, which is suitable for bicycles and scooters users ,linking the site with its surrounding. A jogging track is also designed and placed in the central spot, High Street, wheras small plots with play and gym elements are implemented in the upper avenue, Union Street. The location not only encourage local residents, but also office workers to exercise on daily basis.
‘CARDIO CAN HELPS’ The recent pandemic changes peoples’ lives, bringing adverse effects to many of us. The way of practicing social distancing by staying at home, which is encouraged by governments, also resulted in mental illness, such as depression.The sooner it ends the better, however, a similar pandemic is likely to occur again in the future. In our opinion, the best way to get prepared is to change our habit. To do so, we encourage users to make changes on the ways of commuting. Moreover, taking up a daily exercising habitat is also emphaised by surrounding the site with exercising elements. 8

‘La Rambla’
Slow Down, Speed Up!
The upper main street with existing avenue canopy has transformed to the Spanish ‘La Rambla’ style public space. The layer of street trees divide space into room and create a perfect environment of recreational and social function.
The absence of social distancing results in the fast and wide spread of diseases. By implements levels, users are able to practice social distancing as the amount of space is increased. Various types of levelling are realised in our design, including terraced seating, topography and mixed use raised pavallion. To utilize the space, different levels can serve different function.
It is reported that 20 minutes of exercise a day reduces the risk of developing depression by 31%. Therefore, we believe that the best way to get prepared is to develop a habit of exercising everyday. This goal can be easily achieved by commuting. We designed a two-way cycling path, which is suitable for bicycles and scooters users ,linking the site with its surrounding.
The pavillion has a mixed function.Ground floor is a bike parking while the sloping roof surface is another exercising spot with cycling path and lawn. Moreover, the sloping roof provides opportunity for users to strengthen their cardiovescular system.

CO-ENCRYPTING MURMUR
‘Architecture is not simply about space and form, but also about event, action, and what happens in space’ (Bernard Tschumi, 1981).
The uncontainable social & spatial practice in a ‘forbidden city’
Developed in the late ‘70s, Tschumi proposed to transcribe an architectural interpretation of reality. To this aim, they employed a particular structure involving photographs that either direct or “witness” events.

MLA Finaal Special Project: Co-encrypting Murmur
The following diagrams inspired by Tschumi try to outline spaces and indicate the movements of the different protagonists intruding into the “stage set.” The Transcripts’ explicit purpose was to transcribe things normally removed from conventional architectural representation, namely the complex relationship between spaces and their use, between the set and the script, between “type” and “program,” between existing site objects and events.

This project aims to find alternative solutions and possibilities for the entangled socio-political challenges in Hong Kong. The increased number of surveillance and privatised public spaces from the existing power structure since 2014 undermining people’s right to the city, freedom of assembly and speech. The needs of rethinking the new urban space paradigm were called by the public.

Co-encrypting Murmur is formed by a series of temporary interventions exploring ways of how we can respond to people’s demands. The unique site context of a declined temporary wharf is re-appropriated and transformed into a place creating collective memories and escaping from restricted daily life. The collective space making process is manifesting the new movement of empowering the public to temporarily take ownership of their space rather than a fixed proposal and solution, and try experimenting with ways of DIY Urbanism.

The Co-encrypting Murmur can be understood as an act to reject and escape the suppression from the existing political power structure, an act to re-appropriate the public realm we used to have. The temporary events try to empower the public to imagine our living environment and make decision collaboratively. Via the process of co-making, sharing bits of knowledge and emotions, the collective memories have been established in everyone’s mind, even though the site(space) has vanished.

Unseen Anthropocene: Cr(e)aters
Landscape as living network By using craters, which are larger than 5m, we managed to create habitat for living. It allows a range of animal species to inhabit different scales and dimensions. The base/bottom of the crater will be filled with a number of big disposal materials like tires or engineering components. Plus numbers of gabion towers which are filled with different medium-size military waste materials, will create both a horizontal and vertical environment for not just mammals, but also birds and insects.

Entangled Geopolitical World Military space is often described as a ‘no-go zone’ for the general public because it’s characterised by danger, ambiguity and political agendas. The film ‘baltic - Mediterranean - logs - militarizing - landscapes’ have explored the damages and changes of a military training ground in Lithuania. It unfolds how the landscape as a character reacts to the current political problem of Lithuania and calls us to reconsider our behaviours towards nature

“...passage through the landscape, the journey. Travel through the landscape is the setting for personal trials, tribulations, temptations, and lessons learned "along the way." The voyage is a movement through a physical space, but it is also a movement through an abstract or psychological space. The trip is often a rite of passage...” (Helphand, 1986) All tunnels of these networks are built by dumped missile shells or big bullet shells, which are going to be buried 200mm to 300mm beneath the soil. These tunnels could provide movement and shelter to guide small mammals to different nodes.

Different design interventions are introduced to craters smaller than 5m. As we try to capture and retain water from sand dunes, the abandoned barrels will be transformed into water ponds and animal shelters. These modular units could form different combinations to create visual variety. Tires will be used as planters in small creators as a way to enhance biodiversity.

Green Infrastructure Audit Woburn Square -Biodiversity enhancement within the exsing square -The mature plane trees canopy as the limitation set a limited choice of habitat -Ecoloigical restoration should also consider in the management aspect
The main body of the strategy consist of a toolkit of ideas and exploration for how biodiversity can be promoted within Bloomsbury, by both enhancing existing green areas and create new features in an advanced way. The green infrastructure strategy will include 3 main sites and a wider range of suggestions within site boundary. 1. Woburn Square for enhance the biodiversity and ecological function of a neglected site for years. 2. Torrington Square for a more contemporary character and seeking for build up some ecological function while well considered about the social needs within the context. 3. The education building of UCL for explore the different type of green roof type and opportunities. The Green Infrastructure Strategy is constructed based on Camden and UCL biodiversity action plan with a site GI audit. Then comes up with the following focus: Habitat feature, Sustainable Plant Community, Building Greening, Social Enhancement, Tree Management, Climate Resilience
Institution of Education, UCL -Biodiversity enhancement through appl different types of green roofsto the site -The burtalist stylr building create a strong structure for intensive roof

Mobile Green Tower
Movable green tower could be a way to analyze the urban climate effect. Solution or expriment could be made by the collected data. It could be a test of the relationship of vertical greening technology and ubran site. It is could be a evolutionary approch to think and solve the chlimate change and urban heat island effect. The movabile green tower as a part of green infrastructure also provide habitat for biodiversity enhancement.

Character 04: Local commercial main street
Character 08.2: Mid-20 century interwar suburb (Dykes Hall)
This character type is mainly defined by the linear street of local commercial use. Stores locate along with the public transport system, trams and buses as the heavily used location. These stores are using the ground level of varied age of terraced houses, with a variety of shop signage design and colours. These shops are mostly supplying daily goods and services for surrounding residents. The townscape character has a slightly enclosed spatial experience due to the busy road, vehicles, overhead tram cables and crowded pedestrian paths. The street is legible as the appearance of tram rails give directional guidance. Lack of vegetation is also one of its’ urban characters.
The Dykes Hall mid-20 century interwar suburb has a more irregular building line compare with Wisewood suburb. The buildings have a colour them of brown bricks and white windows. The roof is often a dark grey colour. Fences in this area are more likely to be made from steel or timber. Numbers of verges are replaced by tarmac to use as parking. The spatial quality of the area are relatively muted compared to Wisewood.

LCA_04 Local commercial main street
Steel fences and poor quality gardens
Tram & trafics
This character formed by predominantly semi-detached houses with some terraced houses built from 1900 to 1940. They formed distinctive rectangular perimeter blocks and legible regular street pattern. Similar to the urban terraced character, this age of buildings normally lack of consideration about parking, resulted in an intensive on-street parking situation. However, as these semi-detached houses have a relatively bigger and more efficient front garden, some of them could be converted to off-street parking. A larger building set back from the street side also makes the street view feel more open compared to urban terraced, narrow verges could still manage to grow some mature street trees. The distinctiveness of planted front garden makes this character feel strongly different from the previous one.

The layout of urban terraced is quite regular and geometric due to developments in historic urban areas. These high-density small scale housing formed narrow perimeter blocks and streets. The regular street pattern makes it is permeable for both pedestrian and vehicles. These houses with narrow and less valued front garden result in a lack of green and parking spaces. Onstreet parking is a serious problem within this type of area and makes the streets are narrow and enclosed in terms of spatial quality. The distinctiveness of parking formed its own kind of landscape character. The streets are also lack of any tree cover, replaced by overhead cables.

NW Sheffield Wind Energy Planning
This assessment will include an existing capacity and sensitivity study for wind turbines in the study area and use it to advice on the location of preferred sites for possible wind power development. We will produce an illustrative ‘design’ for the development of a size sufficient to generate a minimum of 10MW of power as the project outcome. This will involve the development of criteria for site selection and design ideas and concepts for how wind power developments might be designed and laid out to minimise adverse effects and as far as possible to create positive additions to the landscape.

Landscape Sensitivit y Assessment

Graded Green Band to blend in
Overall sensitivity of landscape character area can be interpreted where areas with high sensitivity usually have lower capacity for change. Whereas low sensitivity areas are more susceptible to greater alternation of existing landscape, that is appropriate for wind turbine development.

Landscape Housing Masterplan
Diagon-Valley To live and share the happiness of the life with your neighbour Street Living Style Based Community Reinvention By creating a diverse social group of housing, Diagon-Valley aims to generate a local mix-use residential area which have a firm community bonding. The new proposed diagonal street cut through the site is inspired by how people use the desire line. The street connects both ends of the most used existing thresholds. The reconstructed social hub is regenerated by the abandon culture heritage which refers back to the local manufacture. The integrated housing have just a one simple wish, “Know your neighbour.”.
To design an inviting area . ‘the space made for people in a human scale which invite people to walk, bicycle and soical in daily life. -Jan Gehl
“The trust of a city street is formed over time from many, many little public sidewalk contacts” - Jane Jacobs

University of Portsmouth, UK RIBA Stage 2 In this project, I was doing the illustrative masterplan and the concept of the roof terrace from the architect’s previous stage concept.. This drawing is co-produced with my colleagues.
I was assisting the senior member of the team to produce different illustrative drawings in the package. And I also helped to rationalise those paving detail sketches drawn by a colleague into CAD drawings to produce the hardscape strategy.

Bahrain Harbour Row Mixed-Use Promenade, Bahrain Concept & Schemetic Design
This is a competition we did for a mountain valley in Saudi Arabia. It is an entertainment/tourism type masterplan competition. Me and another junior were generating narratives and idea of different activity and experience could happened in the scheme. We also did a series of rough collages about them in Photoshop.
In this project, I’ve been involved in the modeling and rendering parts. I was was coordinating with the architects’ building model and different components/ furniture designed by our colleagues. And also did some rendered visualisations. And I was also doing 2 gardens in the project. Those two gardens’ concept were sketched by the director. And I did the rationalisation of the design in CAD and 3D models.
