A SONG OF "ICE & FIRE"
PRIZE JURY CITATION: This project dealt with the issues facing arid and semi-arid regions due to climate change that may include heavy rainfall. The submission was graphically consistent and well presented, and described in a logical sequence and with a compelling narrative. There was a good integration of expressive strong formand a successful melding of the artistic and the ecological into a solution.
Treatment of concentrated rainfall based on arid and semi-arid regions. Shanxi Datong, China
The project is located in arid and semi-arid regions of Shanxi, China. People are mainly concerned with the local drought and water shortages while ignoring the risk of flooding.Therefore, when arid soils encounter concentrated rainfall, farmlands and villages, including the remains of the ancient Great Wall, will be severely eroded. The arid climate, concentrated rainfall and severe soil erosion have caused a vicious circle of local ecological environment. In the context of the extreme climate with drought and flood, in order to solve the concentrated rainfall that has a great impact on the local ecology and life, we propose 3 strategies: grooming, savings, and utilization of rainfall.

The innovation lies in: (1) During rainfall, runoff points to the design path. Along the runoff path, ecological catchment landforms are set to reduce soil erosionďźŒand keep water and soil intact. In addition, we use self-healing concrete to heal cracks and prevent further destruction of the Great Wall. (2) In the low-lying areas, reservoirs were set up, and the rainfall was introduced into them according to the designed route. In order to slow down the evaporation of rainwater, plants are planted around the pool. (3) During the dry period, the collected rainwater is used for agricultural irrigation and domestic water, and rainwater is used effectively. Ultimately, these strategies will bring positive benefits to the local ecology, production and life, to realize a virtuous circle of ecology.

The site is located near the ancient city, Toungoo, Sittang River, Myanmar. Floods caused by river changes and rainfall during the rainy season are natural disasters with the highest frequency and widest impact in this area. At the same time, local industries are single and production capacity is low. The deterioration of the ecological environment has also exacerbated many existing problems. The landscape resilience of our design is embodied in three aspects: resilient management of rainfall and flood, resilient development of social economy, and sustainable development of ecological service.We plan to construct a rainfall and flood storage system by using existing river trace lakes. Floods are guided into the Oxbow Lake to ease flood pressure during the rainy season. The water can be used for irrigation.The security of the land and people’s life will be ensured . In addition, fishery production can be developed. Discarded sawdust can be used for mushroom cultivation. In this way, the development of agriculture, forestry and fishery will be promoted in an integrated and coordinated manner. We also expect to provide a good habitat for animals and plants through wetland restoration and forest protection. It will form a recreational sightseeing line linking the Oxbow Lake and the ancient city. Our design evolves with natural processes and presents different responses in different period. Finally, the ability of responding to disasters in this region will be improved, and a sustainable and green industrial structure will be formed.

BLUE BARRIER Located in Ecuador, South America, Guayaquil is known as the ‘coastal pearl of the Pacific Ocean’. Recent years, Guayaquil is suffering from seasonal flooding and seawater encroachment caused by the rising sea levels. A large number of farmland was abandoned because of soil salinization. The coastal pearl is gradually fading. The severe flooding not only has caused serious economic loss but also been a threat to urban security.
PRIZE JURY CITATION: In this project, a range of ecological processes were explored. The students attempted to forecast the future transformations which although very important, would not likely be accurate as shown. The jury notes that although the students proposed absolute solutions, nature actually has more subtle transitions. The jury noted that the project tried to reflect this in the patterns, rather than seeking an engineering solution. The jury thought that the key messages did not come through clearly due to too much information being presented.

Based on the respect of natural forces, we establish an ecological cycle system. In the current site, due to the serious salinization and deserted farming in Guayaquil, the abandoned farmland was reorganized to form levels of depressions to store and purify floodwater. High-permeability soil encourages freshwater runoff to infiltrate through depressions to form an anti-salt barrier zone, the blue barrier. The difference of concentration between freshwater and seawater effectively prevent the seawater encroachment, which mitigates the problems of seawater encroachment and urban flooding at the same time. Except for solving the urban problems, this design provides possibilities for the development of the city. The upstream sediments brought by runoff will accumulate in abandoned fields, forming secondary forest belts and native wetlands, providing room for urban expansion; The evaporation in the depressions increases the salinity of the soil and water, providing a natural environment for the white shrimp aquaculture industry which promote the further development of the Guayaquil economy.

FROM ZERO TO MILLIONS
The rapid development of the economy and effects of urbanization have caused greater land to be used for the accelerating needs and demands of society. Among the issues in Sri Lanka include clay mining and sand excavation, which has resulted in extensive environmental deterioration. Clay and sand are used in clay production industries and for construction purposes. However, extensive mining has caused defects on the land. This project attempts to explore the ways to convert a dead land in Dankotuwa, Sri Lanka to make the wetland system beneficial to the immediate community and the country. Located on the edge of the MaOya water body, the site originally used for paddy cultivation, is now abandoned with unsafe clay pits as a result of clay mining. It has now begun its journey of natural succession with surrounding vegetation encroaching the land. The best way to restore land is to leave it alone or help it recover in small ways, however it is a time-consuming process. Hence, the project aims on a more effective process of rehabilitation through the creation of a wetland in the degraded clay mining land, to restore it and create a sustainable ecosystem. The design proposes a rehabilitation of the clay quarry and mining areas as a wetland system, with a research facility to give public awareness of the landscape and wetland

FROM EARTHQUAKE TO WATERQUAKE
The project is located in Fengnan District in the eastern part of Hebei Province, China. It is one of the hardest-hit areas in the Tangshan earthquake. The conflict between the supply and demand of water resources in this region has become increasingly prominent and the water pollution problem has become increasingly serious. Due to the nearby industrial wastewater discharged from industrial enterprises such as steel and papermaking, as well as the domestic sewage discharged by residents and government organizations and catering services, the turbulent stream in the area has become a sewage channel, and the color and odor of the river water seriously affect the surrounding environment and pollution of the city. groundwater. The landscape planning and design of this project focuses on long-term landscape succession, and it will quickly recover and regenerate in the future. This will require solving new problems that are constantly changing, and exposing people’s use of nature at the present stage, transforming nature, demanding resources from nature, and obtaining wealth. Ignoring the counteraction of the environment on human beings, and taking care of one’s actions, one cannot achieve the harmony between man and nature. From the microscopic point of view, we use existing resources as much as possible in the design to reduce damage, improve water use efficiency through a series of technical measures, and reduce the discharge of wastewater, and establish stormwater management systems in the form of points, lines, and surfaces. Reduce surface water pollution and water resources waste.

GONE WITH THE WIND - USING LANDSCAPE TO RESIST TYPHOON Shenzhen, as a megacity on the southern coast of China, has been affected and hurt by typhoons all year round. In September 2003, No. 13 typhoon Du Juan crossed Shenzhen, killing 22 people, causing hundreds of injuries, severely damaging urban infrastructure and direct economic losses of 36 million dollar. Shenzhen Bay, the southern barrier of Shenzhen, has its coastal ecosystem damaged by urbanization, making it easier for typhoons to invade Shenzhen. However, with the intensification of global climate change in the future, the region’s defense against more frequent typhoons will face enormous challenges. In order to improve the typhoon adaptability of Shenzhen Bay, we proposed a new concept for comprehensive defense and utilization of typhoons, aiming to establish an ecological, multi-layered and sustainable elastic landscape system. This is a brand new coastal infrastructure project that withstands typhoons. First of all, we have improved the public space along the coast. This will provide the city with a huge amount of water storage space. Secondly, re-combing the coastline, establishing an ecological floating island, and increasing the area of mangrove forests along the coast, so that mangrove plants can more effectively withstand the intrusion

RESILIENCE REGIONS IN URBAN ECOLOGICAL FOOD CHAIN The proposal is based on the background of high density of cities caused by the rapid urban expansion at present, and selects Dongsanyao area as the design base. This area concentratedly reflects urban expansion issues, while it remains a painful disease for urban development. Due to the abnormal reduction of farmlands in urban expansion, green lands and public spaces are drastically in short. Finally, the design adopts the approaches of replacing planes with stereoscopic buildings and replacing green lands with farm villages for the re-construction of urban villages. In terms of space, it adopts vertical greening to use spaces high-effectively, resolving the problem of no green lands being assigned under the high density of buildings. In forms, farm villages resolved the problems of reduction of farmlands caused by urban expansion, the short supply of food, and green produces are seriously in short. In commercial modes, it retains commercial streets and adopts farm villages to realize the sharing of technologies and economies, thereby achieving scale development. For ruined lands, it effectively connects urban village roofs with the ruined lands on the ground, and selects building stairs as public traffics.

THE FLEXIBILITY OF MOUNTAINOUS CITY
The Flexibility of mountainous City With the development of human society today, the original ecological environment has been destroyed. This base is located in Chongqing City, mountain city, where is located at the junction of the Yangtze River and the Jialing River. The landscape here is peculiar, there are many mountains, and the land utilization is low. Taking into account the development of local cities and the advantages of abundant water resources in coastal cities, We will make use of water resources and urban space rationally, link neighborhoods and households, increase outdoor structures, and set up ecological landscapes so that water resources can be fully utilized and gradually grow under the catalysis of time, forming a green belt among neighborhoods. Through human participation in natural evolution, the relationship between land nodes is strengthened, and new vitality and vitality are brought to the city, resulting in a better culture. By linking the city with the riverside, a complete cultural landscape space experience zone is formed while achieving the intensive use of space.

It is found that the unsustainable mode of production of non-renewable resources in oilresource cities often leads to many environmental problems through the investigation of the way of exploitation. With the continuous relocation of oil extraction sites, abandoned workers ‘houses gradually occupied a large amount of land area, and at the same time caused ecological difficulties in restoration, leading to the continuous degradation of the ecological environment. And how to change this vicious circle of “factory migration” and transform it into a positive, recyclable and sustainable mode of production has become an urgent problem.This design plan attempts to solve the phenomenon of traditional “relocation of factories and people” and leaves abandoned houses in a prospective design method. The oil belt around Karamay City, Xinjiang, China is the design site. And consider the environmental issues surrounding the site. From the design of a completely new living environment to a new community living model, and from the time axis to clarify the difference between this community living model, that is, from the abandoned housing to the ecological greening of the transformation. And with the passage of time, the ecological value of its architectural form and residential model will gradually be reflected, and the ecological greening of residential areas will form an ecological forest belt. Finally, the ecological problems brought about by the artificial unreasonable exploitation of the oil belt will be completely improved, that is, the transformation from production to ecology will be completed.

THE 0-BASE POSTINDUSTRIAL PARK
The O-Base Postindustrial Park Shougang is located in Shijingshan District, Beijing, China. Steel production has been underway since 1919-2010 and was relocated in 2011. Our design aims to transform and reuse the landscape architecture space in Shougang that has been abandoned at the current stage. We have proposed the concept of “zero base” to separate the human activity level from the soil remediation level to accelerate the remediation of metal pollution in the site. In order to achieve the goal of carrying human activities in the future, we will create a resilient landscape with stronger bearing capacity. The future landscape will incorporate human science and technology to predict the future social form and build rich and interesting high-tech landscape sites on the site.

In the future venues, we have added more functions in the restored soil, using the plant and building structure to build a futureexperienced technology park. Let people experience the rich experience brought by science and technology and the future solar system social order. For example, simulating space weightlessness in tall towers and pools, experiencing interstellar life at zero interfaces, and simulating space weather in landscape sites.
Before building the factory, the area is iron mine. While expanding many times, the problem has also increased. The problem is polluted soil, abandoned factories, and reduced per capita green space caused by population increase. We propose to build the factory as a park and use the O-base pipeline to repair heavy metal soils.

THE SELF-REPAIRING METHOD TO NATURAL DISASTERS AND ECOLOGICAL DETERIORATION IN THE URBAN SECTION WEIHE RIVER,SHAANXI PROVINCE The urban area of southern Wei River is an important corridor for flood control and drainage in Weinan City. As a seasonal river, floods occur frequently in summer, and shortage of water is severe during the dry season. Currently, the water is badly polluted and contains large portion of sediment. How to solve the effect of sediment deposition in landscape? How to mitigate and prevent the impact of floods in the reconstruction and construction? Flood resolution strategy. 1. Excavation of two continuous wetland forests, turning the “Project Water” into “ecological”; 2. Construction of tributary wetland system, dredging the flood and silting water; 3.Introduction of wetland production, to construct an infrastructure system instituted of “ecological channel + fields + ponds + forest network”; 4. Based on the present status of the site boundary, a series of design guidelines are put forward, with the core issue as softening bulkhead and the restoration of the tidal flat wetland. The original defective hard embankment will be replaced with the sand dune with the sand fixation plant. Elastic interface is used to cope with tidal changes. At the same time, The remnants of shells and mud snails in the site are used to promote the silting tetrahedron through the Simple Engineering Technology Guide, to promotes the natural work, and utilize the tidal accumulation ability to facilitate the sediment to gather into the island, so as to shape the change abundant natural habitat.

LEVELED ECOLOGIES: PRODUCTIVE LANDSCAPE THROUGH NEW PAIDER SYSTEM Traditionally, the land around Taihu Lake basin is a flood plain. For thousands of years, people have been farming through polder. In recent decades, the traditional polder method has been destroyed by the continuous expansion of the city. At the southeast of Tai lake, a piece of reclaimed agricultural and industrial land, is under urban development pressure and suffers from poor ecological management. By employing traditional means to serve present and future, the aim of design is trying to use landscape as a medium to reinvent the old leveled polder system to create productive polder landscape which integrates textile industry, ecology and everyday living. The main production streamline of textile industry is arranged from low to high: from raw material to primary processing, and then to finished product processing to form a complete industrial chain. In this process, a central theme to the new polder system is water purification. The pollution degree is purified from high to low levels. In ecology, the pollution degree is purified from high to low levels, throughout the process, different water levels will be introduced, which ensures that there are good human settlements and ecological environment. In everyday life, we improve local people’s living standard of the three polder areas by building landscape infrastructure and promoting rural tourism. Finally, a new productive polder landscape is formed throughout the region.

KAMPHAENGPHET UNESCO world heritage city located in a low land of Ping River. Nowadays urban sprawling intruded into the river’s floodplain which decreased a waterway area. Water can’t flow as natural dynamic. Lead to instability problem. According to water level rising. This area will be a flood risk area in the near future. To preserve the heritage and restore eco-system. The design concept is “cultural infrastructure”. First, Green-blue infrastructure development. Create a green network to merge public area and urban to one green area to reduce a density around the inner of the city area. Also be a resilience area for urban sprawling. This network and waterfront not only create a new flow of people but also serve as a water network in city scale. With bio-swale, detention pond. It can manage and store runoff water from the city before it flows into a river. At waterfront. Dam and contour level was developed to restore a floodplain in a sustainable and natural way which also determine a new flood area and adaptable to different water level. Besides, new dam will provide erosion and river sedimentation protection. In flooding season the river will receive more floodplain and flow more effectively. Furthermore, this design will help the city last at least next 200 years. Second, Cultural development. The green network also uses as recreation area to encourage local’s everyday life and their unique culture. At last, The Infrastructure will create a balancing point between sustainable development and culture that encourages each other.

Nansha Dahu Island, which has gradually disappeared from industrialization is the subject of research. A planning concept centering on the context of water was proposed. The plan built a self-healing ecosystem through planning and landscape design strategies, and locally repaired the Dahu Island water environment as a test matrix, simulating the self-healing ability of the elastic landscape from the five landscape strategy modules. And use this as a subsystem. Atthe same time, the landscape of the wetland scattered in Nansha District is divided into three levels, from the point to the surface, to build a new landscape system, thereby alleviating the series of problems caused by the value conflicts between farming civilization and industrial civilization. To transform into an effective organizational landscape, form a landscape system with self-repair and adaptation to the future.

EASTERN SARUS CRANE RESERVATION & SUSTAINABLE UTILIZATION OF HUAI CHORAKHE MAK'S WETLAND, THAILAND The Eastern Sarus Cranes (Grus antigone) are one of animals that are quality indicators of wetland ecosystems. The cranes had used to be extinct from Thailand due to the growth of cities and residential areas which have affected the area between land and water that have been dramatically reduced. Although, with collaborative assistance of the local communities, the conservation organization, and the local irrigation department, the experimental “Releasing Cranes Back To The Nature Project” can effectively increase the number of the Crane in the natural wetland and reservoir area for irrigation and agriculture. This project provides well successful, the cranes can naturally reproduce while the residential area keep expanding up continuously. This project offers guidelines to encourage restoration of the intrusive and developed wetland which have caused dramatic changes and decreasing of wetland’s conditions, and define conservation area of the wetland for re-habitation of Eastern Sarus Cranes. Moreover, the project includes creating conservation and restoration areas for reintroducing Eastern Sarus Cranes before releasing them back to the nature, and also making the area as the natural learning resource and being used by local communities sustainably provided the natural dependence and reuniting between the communities and nature. This project offers guidelines for integrating and managing the wildlife conservation area where area located nearby the residential area, and stimulates the modification of sustainable use of natural resources based on the dynamic of wetland.

SITE ANALYSIS

Dry Season
The site is located in the North China Plain with inadequate precipitation. In recent years, the local government has carried out large-scale afforestation to improve ecological environment. On the basis of insufficient carrying capacity of water resources, the increasing water consumption of woodland has surpassed other areas of water consumption, becoming the main reason for local water shortage. So many trees failed to improve the ecological environment, but made it lose resilience. Despite water shortage, there is still lots of rainfall during the wet season every year. However, because of the fragmentation of green space pattern and the single plant level of woodland patches, the green space can not store these rainwater resources to ease the water shortage. As the main part of the green space, the local woodland is not only the water consumption factor, but also the water storage factor. Therefore, the project takes the woodland as the carrier, optimizing the woodland pattern, enriching the plant level of woodland patches, to improve its rainwater storage capacity, reduce the water withdrawal and improve the resilience of the ecological environment. In addition, the project also includes the transformation of ponds, farmland and other green spaces in the site, and watersaving communities design. The innovation of this program is to put water-resource trend and local ecological problem in a comprehensive consideration, and put forward a water-greenland ecological coordinated planning within the range of water carrying capacity.

THE FOOD CAPSULE A PRODUCTIVE LANDSCAPE PLANNING FIGHT WITH FOOD CRISIS IN YEMEN
Almost all countries in the world are suffering from food crises. Yemen is particularly serious in the Middle East. As one of the Arab cultural circles, Yemen has frequent national wars, declined society, extreme climate, and insufficient fresh water, all people have been indulging in Carter. All of the above has seriously affected the normal operation of the entire country. Program Design: The design project is based on the background of Yemen and selects the bay area—the crater of Aden to use the resilient operation of productive landscape as a means to solve the food crisis and social problems. By summarizing and induction, it proposes social resilience, production resilience, and ecological resilience to vertical interpretation. The vertical functional logic framework mainly uses the cultivation of wheat, corn, potato, and sorghum as the city’s production capsules to form a production unit to meet the extreme hunger children in the region to supplement the lack of energy. Theme Features: Social resilience, production resilience and ecological resilience complement each other and overlay the function, Social resilience satisfies the use within the region, provides outdoor venues for livelihood and recreational activities. Production resilience as vertical planting of crops, maximizes the use of space for food supply, and multiple planting to improve the stability of species relationships among all crops. Ecological resilience creates local micro-climates, improves the environment, complements productive landscapes, and operates together to ensure ecological security.

WATER AND FIRE IN PEATLANDS
Indonesia has been suffering a series of problems caused by the expansion and monoculture of the oil palm. The traditional slash-and-burn farming practice used in oil palm plantation has severely damaged natural peatlands, causing frequent fires and floods. Meanwhile, the oil palm monoculture made the economy and society vulnerable. The site is in Dumai, Riau, the mid-eastern part of Sumatra, Indonesia. Fires caused by the slashand-burn and floods caused by the destruction of the peatland are its major problems. We seek to find a resilient landscape strategy to increase the city’s resistivity and adaptability to natural disasters and socio-economic changes over time. Our plan is to build two types of dams to block the existing drainage canals. Dams are made of materials on the site into different heights. During the rainy season, some floodwaters will be stored for the fire control in the dry season and agricultural irrigation all year round, the rest will be diverted into the destroyed peatland for ecological restoration. While in the process of restoration, through the intervention of productive landscape strategies, the spatial structure of Dumai will be rebuilt in the mode of “city – plantation - agroforestry system - peatland and forest”, which will lead to a sustainable economic system. As a result, the plan provides a resilient development mode to protect the city from natural disasters, restore the ecology and meet the socio-economic changes.

COTTON REVOLUTION A SUSTAINABLE AND SUCCESSIVE ECOLOGICAL RESTORATION BASE ON COTTON FIELD AND SALINE-ALKALI SOIL IN NUKUS, ARAL SEA AREA
Aral Sea, as the world’s fourth-largest lake. is located in the lagoon of the intersection of Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan in central Asia. As a result of the collective agricultural policy introduced by the Soviet Union, lead to sharp reduction of water, the city around the Aral Sea is facing severe ecological crisis, and the port city Mo`ynoq has almost lain waste. Nukus, the capital city, is facing the threat of desertification. These cities will face more problems in the future. In order to solve these problems, we choose Nukus to study and find out the key to this dilemma is the cotton fields that led to water resources shortage and economic disaster, which also bring depopulation and economic decline. Therefore, we focusing on the cotton fields and wasteland, classifying it by this current situation and relationship with adjacent cities. There be some construction plan about city, farmland, resources and nature base on that category. Therefore, several solution ways come out rely on different type and phase, by improving and constructing those land, to forming a stable and flexible system about city and nature, each system is connected and will play an important role in ecological restoration and urban renaissance. Through this system, we intend to find a feasible solution to the crisis in the Aral Sea.

REVIVING FROM WAR RUINS
Project background: Ar-Raqqah in Syria, due to the invasion of “ISIS” terrorism, has become the main target of all military operations. 6000 years of civilization and prosperity were destroyed because of six years of war, with the city devastated, the local residents displaced. Obviously Ar-Raqqah had become a “hell on earth”. Nowadays, after the liberation of ArRaqqah, it has become an urgent problem that how to realize urban renewal after the war of resistance and post war. Issues to be addressed: Serious destruction of urban buildings, water pollution, destruction of grain production, energy scarcity, trauma and terrorism resistance. Main features, innovations: 1. The landscape design is carried out in combination with the frames of different urban site using the construction waste in the ruins of the city as the material. 2. Combine the ruins of war with the urban water system, bring the rivers into cities, and create a new ecological network of blue and green infrastructure. Using urban ruins and water system network as the starting point of urban Renaissance, create a city development mode of survival - production - life - prosperity, to explore a method of stage planning and landscape restoration that can change over time, contribute to the post-disaster reconstruction.

RESILIENT GREEN CORRIDOR
RENEWAL AND RESTORATION OF URBAN FRINGE AREA IN BEIJING
The planning area is located in Changping District, Beijing, China. Shahe Reservoir serves as the intersection of the Nansha River and the Beisha River. It is the most important water network channel in the northern urban edge of Beijing. In recent years, with the rapid urbanization, the river has been destroyed to a large extent, seriously affecting the urban landscape and ecological environment. This design aims to restore important rivers along the city’s borders and create resilient green corridors. Through the renewal and restoration of border rivers, it maintains the ecology of rivers, removes pollution, embeds green spaces, clears connections with cities, and relocates, transforms, and embeds functions, cleans and integrates space, and gives cities more river boundaries. Functions to create elastic boundaries while protecting the city’s borders and prevent the city from spreading in disorder. We are trying to find a correct model of river restoration and development, which will make urban rivers more resistant to rapid urbanization, and also help the city to renew and repair itself. We hope to make a contribution to the various problems brought by rapid urbanization, and actively explore the responsibility and role of landscape design in ecological environment protection and restoration.

THRIVING WETLANDS UPGRADING WETLANDS PROTECTION CAMPAIGN IN RESILIENCE TOWARDS INDUSTRIAL TRANSFORMATION AND NATURAL DISARSTERS
Kaohsiung, Taiwan, used to the colonial of Japan, settled itself to an industrial and harbor city, that endured fast urban sprawl in the last century, and accumulated many environmental problems. Wetlands can be seen as a symbol for Kaohsiung citizens’ awareness of environmental protection, because most existing wetlands are facing or used to face threats by the sprawl of urban construction, but survived due to the efforts of many NGOs. The way to save wetlands is to make them play a much more important function. In this time of general global industrial transformation, like many other cities around the world, Kaohsiung faces the challenge of deindustrialization, together with problems of fierce weather and pollution. In view of the urban scale, scattered wetlands are supposed to be connected as a system together with other GI, to relieve the urban fierce environment and renovate the urban area in multifunction strategies. Through the classification of wetlands and land use, this project draw up three typical areas as models that to discuss wetlands in stand for function of: rural agriculture and tourism, rainwater management and regional weather, seashore ecosystem rebuild and pollution degradation, in concern of general resilience to natural disasters and permanence both economically and environmentally.

URBAN COMMUNITY RESILIENCE LANDSCAPE FOR ETHNIC HARMONY HISTORICAL EVIDENCE FOR CO EXISTENCE AND CONFLICTS
Issue: In the most of multiethnic Asian countries, ethnic conflicts and its’ bad impacts on human and nature is a major issue which affects to create massive landscape changes and social instability. Why these conflicts are happening, people are struggling for the right of practice their own believes and customs in public spaces. Where In Sri Lanka, people have experienced lot of conflict situations. Aluthgama and Dhrga Town areas are places where we recently experienced conflict situation between Sinhalese and Muslims with loss of lives and damages to the public and privet properties. Significantly there can be identified ethnic clustering, community Isolation and its bad impact to the society. It should be mitigated future potentials of emerging conflict situations in this landscape creating social resilience common landscape without any dominance for any ethnic group. Why: Main courses for this conflict situations are geographical separation of living ethnic groups (community isolation) and people are going extremism. Community isolation happens when minority do not feel the sense of inclusion in public spaces. Then people tend to create their own clusters. It creates people limited in thinking, attitude wise and it decreases the flexibility and adaptation. People are going extremism because of the psychological imbalances of the people. This project will affiliate people for a common ground giving sense of inclusion for both communities using common appreciation like, Aesthetic appreciation;Diversity of food cultures; Affiliation for sport activities. Creating an emotional landscape to release and neutralize emotions and understand others emotions and feelings. Vision:Celebrate the diversity of traditions and cultures, bringing back human connections to the places enhancing community integration to achieve a collective urban resilient for mitigation of ethnic separation.

REBORN FROM WATER RESILIENT PLANNING MODE OF AREAS THREATENED BY FLOODS AND MUDSLIDES IN FREETOWN, SIERRA LEONE
In August 18, 2017, a sever mudslide occurred in Freetown, the capital of Sierra Leone in West Africa. About 800 people were killed and at least 7,000 were displaced, the tragedy lead us to this city with vicissitudes. The disaster was triggered by many reasons, including persistent rainfall, deficiency of water management facilities, soil erosion and deforestation caused by disordered city expansion. Population in Freetown has been oversaturated since the 11-year civil war in Sierra Leone, many people are living in slums and do not have security assurance. Lacking of government city planning, disordered expansion and environmental disruption put residents into a dangerous situation. We take the water as the point cut, based on the local landform and original rivers, create a new resilient system which contains river system design, water level control, new residential planning and land management. We design the check dams and resilient greenspace to enhance the river’s bearing capacity during the rainy season, techniques on soil slope in other green land and residential regions will provide a more stable land than the past. We hope that resilient system can improve the environment after disaster and lead a mode of city construction scientifically, finally provide a stable and safe place for people to live in and promote the development of Freetown.

POVERTY INNOVATION AND RESILIENT COMMUNITY SELFORGANIZATION IN BANGLADESH
Bangladesh is one of the poorest and most densely populated countries in the world. There are many environmental problems. Chandpur faces various nature disaster such as flooding , garbage pollution and tsunami. We are concerned about a group of people at the bottom of society who collect garbage for living. They are dealing with the urban garbage like the “scavenger” in biological world. Due to the high density of the city, they were squeezed to the periphery of the river, which is the most vulnerable place to floods. From bottom to top, we hope the environmental, ecological, social and economic issues could be solved through the strategy of poverty innovation and self-organization pattern, so as to achieve a resilience development. 1, through the garbage classification, waste building materials and even waste tires are used to build river embankment to resist floods. 2, To meet the floating need in residential area, using recycling materials such as plastic bottles、bamboo and wasted fabrics to build houses; 3, By integrating space at the community level, increase three-dimensional greening to achieve an effective improvement of urban environmental.

-TIDAL RIVER MANAGEMENT SYSTEM FOR COASTAL EROSION ZONE
Bangladesh is a low-lying country which is rich in water systems. The national economy is dominated by agriculture. The country is often affected by natural disasters and extreme weather. Issues to be addressed Located at the mouth of the Meghna River, Bhola is the largest island in Bangladesh and seriously affected by river erosion and seasonal cyclones. A 4-meter-high seawall has been built for defense. However, the fragile seawall and its inelastic defense model could not resist the erosion of the coastline. It even brings about the problem of soil depletion. The islanders are forced to cut down mangroves for more farmlands. Low production efficiency and fragile ecological environment have formed a vicious circle. Strategy The Tidal River Management System, which is composed of a tidal river, three dikes, a littoral and a polder settlement zone, protects people’s safety and restores farmlands by sedimentation in a resilient way. Innovations Our resilient landscape system is based on the current conditions which could mitigate the negative impacts of disasters and protect people’s living environment in dealing with natural disasters. At the same time, the system formed by borrowing natural forces skillfully could optimize people’s production methods and restore natural ecosystem gradually.

The city, which is based in the tundra, is faced with a number of safety hazards caused due to the melting of permafrost, including flooding, drought and deteriorating infrastructure. The melting of permafrost affects agricultural production, and will also change rural landscapes. We wish to use “resilience� as the design core to help Yakutsk realize the long-term healthy development in the face of the crisis of the melting of permafrost by harnessing the shortterm positive condition as well as providing solutions to its long-term negative effects. Our strategies are embodied by ecological resilience, economic resilience and socioculture resilience. By studying the law of the melting of permafrost and combining the thermalkarst lake system of Alaas landscape to construct a regional ecological security pattern. The best type of combination of plants were selected for Alaas landscape in different habitats to form a permafrost-adaptive plant community. The water resilience of the Alaas Necklace system enables the local herdsmen to continue traditional production and rebuild the traditional settlement civilization and in turn help Alaas realize its cultural inheritance.

WILD PARADISE OF THE ISLAND
Wild paradise landscape proposal is mainly mangroves conservation project. But at the same time, it will make the path to interact human and nature together. My intention is to offer close up memorable experience with nature and provides enriching nature based experiences for visitors. Madhuwa is an extraordinary island situated in Sri Lanka. It has dense mangroves population. The primary object of this project is to conserve the mangrove and aware people about the value of mangrove conservation. Aim to design a landscape by help of ecotourism practices, which are proceeding today as well. Present ecotourism practice is doing by the village people as their occupation. By observations, it is evident that those ecotourism practices were disorganized. According to those facts, a first intention was to conserve the mangrove ecosystem by using sustainable ecotourism practices, so that have studied furthermore about the mangrove wetland. Thoughts about mainly landscape design by interacting visitors with the migration birds, Animals and underwater fauna and other who live around the mangrove wetland. Based on that is proposed to implement there are four significant programs in the island according to its geography. Those are the wet walkway, dry walkway, Canopy Walkway, observation towers and cages. Aim to give an excellent experience to visitors by interacting all biodiversity together.

This project is concentrated on how multisensory experiences could be infused in the urbanised community of Singapore. Aimed to investigate distinctive possibilities to create an association between the busy and unstimulating environment of Orchard Road with a selfrediscovery journey through the human senses in serene spaces. Directing them through framing, materiality and geometry without signs or any explanations to evoke their senses and the idea of interest which incites a desire for users to investigate the space through their instincts from various sections focuses and close with a meeting ground for individuals of various beliefs to share a contemplative space. The point of the imagined space is meld human desire with the current nature in setting and for them to recognize the change in involvement prior and then afterward. The proposed design is an urban sanctuary which would help back off the rapid stream of circulation between Orchard road and Dhoby Ghaut, sustain the spiritual and physical prosperity of individuals and introduce reforestation to the site to help cool down the urban heat.

LOOK OUT, LOOK UP
Due to a rapid urbanisation and industrial development, Singapore lost most of its original natural habitats and primary forests. Primary forests were home for a rich ecosystems and biodiversity that in now for a great part extinct in the mainland. This has negatively effects on Singapore’s ecological balance. What’s left in Singapore is mostly secondary forest with limited value in terms of biodiversity. Pulau Ubin is seen as a sanctuary where both communities and biodiversity can thrive. Nevertheless, the island was also affected by development. Some ecosystems are degraded due to human traffic from tourist and locals that enjoy hiking and sightseeing in Pulau Ubin. Pollution also has a great impact in the health of the biodiversity on the island. The project aims bringing back the lost migrant bird species and extinct butterfly through landscape design and the integration of key flora species. The site is an adjacent area of land that touches the Pekan quarry, which is one of the main tourist attraction in the island. The project is divided in 2 main areas. The hill area is dedicated to the nurturing and observation of butterflies with different level of topography. The second area includes a building composed of two volumes that overlooks the Pekan Quarry. The spaces also allow user to have different views that the user want to see. The aim of this building is to bring people closer to biodiversity and host spaces for bird watching. Individual cubes are stacked on top with different angles for those who wants to bird watch in different ways with multiple different views. This building also provides spaces for education and public activities.

VERDANT VISTA
The project site is located along North Buona Vista Road, Singapore and is next to the Buona Vista MRT Station. It is very close to Star Vista, a civic and cultural, retail and entertainment building. Opposite the major road are office buildings for business, industrial park, research and development, and the HQ for Ministry of Education. To address the connectivity to both sides of the road is a challenge. In addition, most of these buildings have with small pockets of landscape spaces. Hence, Verdant Vista is designed mitigate these issues by creating a central connectivity node that provides convenience, destination and interests to the users. Creating landscape space such as sensory garden and other theme gardens offer variety of spatial experience for the users to enjoy. Every space is created to meet the needs of the diverse communities. Cyclist and pedestrian are able to enter the site safely from the vehicular traffic. Verdant Vista will be the new landmark in Buona Vista district. It consist of integrated mixeddevelopment consisting of two green tower buildings and landscape activity spaces showcasing new technology and green initiatives for outdoor spaces forming a 24/7 thoroughfare linking Buona Vista MRT and a public park. This public park also provides link for the community or pedestrians via the proposed community Link underpass at Buona Vista MRT to linear park with a challenging design with the existing change of level and consideration for ease of maintenance access and universal design.

PENDULUM
The proposal focuses on creating a community garden cum park integrated to the railway corridor adjacent to Ulu Pandan Community Centre in Singapore. The site is located at Ghim Moh Road next to Ulu Pandan Community Center and a roadside bus terminal. Opposite the site is the Ghim Moh Market & Hawker Centre, home to some famous local delicacies. With these diverse civic amenities, one of the main challenges is connectivity. Unlike the other surrounding neighbourhoods Holland Village and Buona Vista which are celebrated with continuous changes, Ghim Moh estate is a comparatively quiet enclave trying to hold on to its history and is very much connected with nature. Hence, revitalising is a challenge that it has to maintain its sense of place while creating cohesive community spaces and seamless connection with the diverse civic amenities around it. Pendulum is the pulse of a healthy lifestyle of the communities at Ghim Moh estate. Enlivening the rhythm with new interlinked inclusive spaces, inspiring and energising the communities through diverse recreational activities for bonding and bringing out the roots for future resilience. The community centric design has juxtaposed multi-level recreational facilities with inclusive design as part of the pedestrian and cycling network. It also enables the people to reconnect with nature through spatial experience with the native flora and fauna, develop skills through activity involvement. Lastly, the introduction of ABC water features is not only for habitat creation and for water efficiency but also for enhancing Ghim Moh’s identity.

PAUSE
The project site located at Buona Vista in Singapore, which is an existing public realm underpass that serve the nearby residents and connects them to the Buona Vista MRT and Biopolis area. The site is undulating with several areas having slopes ranging from approximately 20 to 45 degrees. Within the site there also exist a big concrete canal, series of ramps and steps adjacent to north Buona Vista Road. These are few of the many challenges of the site together with the obvious main issue on connectivity. Moreover, there is no cycling path disabled access for the underpass. Besides that, safety of the underpass during night time is also one of the issue. PAUSE took all these site flaws and issues as an opportunity to provide enjoyable and relaxing pockets of places for relaxation within the extremely busy and fast-paced Buona Vista MRT station, which serves diverse communities within the area. The idea is to create a Pause moment to keep the precious time like each grain of sand in the hourglass. The project also aims to create a sustainable and integrated approach in community development by improving the functionality of the new and existing amenities. Pedestrians and cyclists will be able to enjoy the lush natural environment. ‘Pause’ will also take the opportunity to promote enhancement of bio diversity and other sustainable features. In addition, emphasis to ecological sustainability by providing habitats for variety of native flora and fauna, preservation of existing healthy trees and managing storm water runoff making it possible to integrate ABC waters features in the landscape.

ENERGETIC AND SUSTAINABLE CAMPUS Wild paradise landscape proposal is mainly mangroves conservation project. But at the same time, it will make the path to interact human and nature together. My intention is to offer close up memorable experience with nature and provides enriching nature based experiences for visitors. Madhuwa is an extraordinary island situated in Sri Lanka. It has dense mangroves population. The primary object of this project is to conserve the mangrove and aware people about the value of mangrove conservation. Aim to design a landscape by help of ecotourism practices, which are proceeding today as well. Present ecotourism practice is doing by the village people as their occupation. By observations, it is evident that those ecotourism practices were disorganized. According to those facts, a first intention was to conserve the mangrove ecosystem by using sustainable ecotourism practices, so that have studied furthermore about the mangrove wetland. Thoughts about mainly landscape design by interacting visitors with the migration birds, Animals and underwater fauna and other who live around the mangrove wetland. Based on that is proposed to implement there are four significant programs in the island according to its geography. Those are the wet walkway, dry walkway, Canopy Walkway, observation towers and cages. Aim to give an excellent experience to visitors by interacting all biodiversity together.

NGMP at Alagalla Mountain Range, Sri Lanka, an approach for appreciating nature in form of its natural state. Making awareness about natural processes through sequence of spaces to blend man-geo character. The project is based on UNESCO Geo Park concept. Expanding scope to giving an awareness on Earth processes, but to working with communities and giving them opportunities to develop unbreakable bond with significant geological processes, features, periods of time, historical themes to celebrate and get inspired. “Biophilia� is an adaptive connection to the behavior of human. Interpreting different kind of objects and things as its form, is a materializing nature. makes the natural forces more tangible. Biophilic forms are used to make spaces that communicate with people as a strategy. Used GPS as personal way finder through geo-forms. The project is based on the, hidden cohesive connection to the nature with human. The shape and scale of geo-forms are always appeared as kind of an image. Used to get know. The movement of the earth also effects on the definitions made by people, though earth is moving and the definitions must be moved. So the cultural influences. A moving story concept emerged with the ideology of introducing exploratory Geo forms to the users to make unique definitions and to be updated with moving earth while taking a form with features into form with functions. And introducing learn by Experiencing Landscapes to make more resilient community and resilient Landscapes.

BARANGAY + I = BARANGAI
Barangay, a Filipino word referring to local community, mostly infiltrated by the ‘Bayanihan’ spirit that shows the willingness to offer help to others without expecting anything in return. The spiritual custom is symbolized by moving the entire house to avoid floods and also conveyed through communal actions such as farming and building constructions. The project aims to design preventive and adaptive strategy that allows communities to become more resilient in floods in the low-lying rural site. It adopts the social pattern to urban and architectural design as a from-bottom-up intervention led by community force. While the urban design includes the whole process of building community centers and gardens for each block that allows the self resilience within a unit, the architectural design focuses on the underprivileged families living in vulnerable huts that are most susceptible to floods. Before one community unit completely gets improved and perfected, a new unit is again implemented and starts its circle. This social behavior is regarded as a consistent strategy that integrates the community’s cultural identity. Social and cultural values can be optimized by bringing a greater level of flexibility into this living pattern. As a strategy of urban renewal, the design of the resilient circle will gradually change the urban fabric, starting from one fleck, and subsequently spreading out into clusters.

2). People are hunting large-scale predators such as wolves and foxes in order to protect their flock. They cause the proliferation of rodents. They need a lot of food. This exceeds the carrying capacity of grasslands and gradually degrades grasslands into deserts. The original lush grassland turned into a yellow desert.
Planting grass
In the position between each dune we set a square ecological wind wall, made of straw, in which we plant grass, which can effectively protect the pasture before it is rooted.
Resilience Landscape to restore grassland desertification
1.Site
Located in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region of China, Wuhai City is located on the upper reaches of the Yellow River and is close to the Yellow River. It is a resource-based city. With the economic development in recent years, the problem of ecological deterioration has been highlighted.

100cm 90cm 20cm 4).In the tall grassy areas, the number of grassland rodents is very low. This is because tall grasses obstruct their sight, they are not easy to find predators, so for them there are not suitable for living. The sand dunes we designed can control the number of rodents through this feature. We also set up some flat grounds so that we can provide living places for some creatures，the height of the sand dunes can also provide shelter for many creatures, allowing them to feel at ease here，for example, providing habitat for migratory birds.

Wuhai City 4).After harvest, the ground is bare and the wind blows away the soil and nutrients. Sandy soil is exposed to the surface, and many plants can not survive in sand. The water storage capacity of the sandy land is very weak, which further aggravates desertification. At the same time, the reduction of surface evaporation leads to a reduction in rainfall and a vicious circle.

2.Existing problems

Ecological wind wall（Made of straw） 3).In order to grow food crops, people cultivated grassland on a large area of reclaimed grassland. However, because of the shallow topsoil, the soil nutrients are very low, and the underlying layer is a lot of sandy soil. After the goods are received in the autumn, there is no covering on the surface and the original grassland is also destroyed.

The design is located in Wuhai City, Inner Mongolia, China, on the west bank of the Yellow River, where the original grassland ecosystem was completely degraded into a desert due to the combined effects of human and climate, followed by frequent dust storms, reduced biomass, and reduced income for herdsmen, Yellow River sediment increase, so the entire ecosystem enters a vicious cycle. Issues to be addressed 1. Gradually control desertification and elastically restore grassland ecosystems. 2. Gradually restore grassland soil fertility. 3. Control the number of rodents while providing living space for other organisms. 4. Elastically restore the virtuous circle of grassland ecosystem material and climate. 5. Increase herdsmen’s income through other means. Features The design uses aerodynamic principles to extract groundwater by using the pressure difference generated by the air flow to ensure the normal growth of plants. it uses the set terrain height to control the number of rats and provides living space for other organisms, increasing soil fertility by using rotations of legumes, designed a landscape site to attract tourists and use tourism to increase the income of herdsmen. As a long-term plan, the area is brought

2). Bringing a large amount of sediment to the Yellow River each year, so that the downstream Yellow River bed will be continuously lifted, and the risk of dike will be increased.
Space Biological channel
We set up vacant land to provide living space for other living creatures. At the same time, we also ensure biological diversity and maintain the stability of the ecosystem. At the same time, biological pathways have been set up to ensure the exchange of species. Set a pedestrian path along the entire area as the axis of the ecological park
5).Grassland desertification
6.What are the benefits of our design? 1). During the dry season of the Yellow River, it can be reduced sediments to enter the Yellow River. In flood seasons, river banks can be protected to reduce the erosion of water on both sides of the river. At the same time, the risk of river embankments can be reduced, and the Yellow River ecosystem can be resiliently protected.
2).It can possible guide pastoral herders to control grazing and rotational grazing. This will enable the grasslands to be more effectively and resiliently protected rather than blindly limiting or damaging them. At the same time, tourism will be used to increase herdsmen's income.
3).Increase species diversity so that it can increase biological habitats elastically rather than specially setting up conservation areas
4).The frequency of dust storms can be reduced, the ecological environment around Wuhai City can be restored, even promote the restoration of the entire Yellow River ecosystem.

4.So what can we do?
5.This is my design ideas 1).Although the surface is desert, there is no shortage of groundwater sources.. It is close to the Yellow River. Because the sandy soil cannot hold water, it causes drought. Then we need to suck water out of the ground in a natural way. Here we think of the principle of fluid mechanics. No difference in pressure between the upper and lower surfaces will result in different pressures above and below. In this area, there is a strong northwestern wind throughout the year, so that the flow of wind on the surface can cause a difference in air pressure. This can draw water from the deep soil to the topsoil and allow the plants to absorb it. With relatively stable water sources, plants can gradually control desertification.

Herdsmen can increase their income through the tourism industry, instead of just increasing the amount of grazing to increase their income.
Northwest wind 2).If we set up sand dunes in this way, because the local northwest winds prevail, they are easily destroyed by the wind, so we have to ensure that the windward surface has the least resistance. We design the sand dunes as droplets to minimize the erosion of the sand dunes, and the windward side faces northwest, They minimizes wind erosion on the sand dunes, and on the windward side, we plant small shrubs suitable for growing in the desert to reduce wind erosion on the sand dunes while protecting pastures planted at the rear.

Through the encircling of the sand by green land, the sand is gradually transformed into green land. The green chess symbolizes the grassland and the yellow chess symbolizes the sand.
The grassland spread out at the center of the community. In the process of grassland management, even if part of the grassland is destroyed, the reclaimed grassland will prevent further damage to the grassland. Grassland and yellow sand confront each other and form a kind of dynamic balance. Gradually, grassland replaced yellow sand and resilient landscape formed.

Zoige County is located at 102°08′-103°39′ east longitude and 32°56′-34°19′ north latitude. It is part of the Aba Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture in Sichuan Province, China.
Enclosing:
Background Zoige grassland lies in the Yellow River source area in China’s Qinghai Tibet Plateau, with a total area of 53,000 km2. However, due to excessive grazing, rodent damage, artificial draining marsh and other reasons, its ecological environment is becoming bad, and the grasslands are seriously deserted. Now it has become the origin of dust storms in northern China. The site is selected in the A Xi Village of Zoige County, where there are the richest land types. Design intention The concept of “encircling and eliminating” in “weichi” is adopted in the game against yellow sand by using “green modules”. The yellow sand is “encircled” by different green modules, and it is slowly “eliminated” , and restore to grassland and wetland. According to the damage degrees and its causes of desertification, the modules are chosen and arranged flexibly, and the strategy is adjusted according to the evolution of the site. This ancient Chinese philosophy of balances is applied to modern landscape design. Expected target By harnessing grasslands and wetlands, the ecological environment of the whole Zoige area will be gradually optimized. By

When the Red Army passed the Zoige Prairie, it was called "China's most beautiful wetland prairie." It is undergoing an unprecedented ecological nightmare, and a series of sand scars are spreading in the green. For decades, marshes have been hard to find. The wetland area has shrunk by more than 60%, the grassland desertification area has reached 1053 km², and the grassland desertification is still increasing at an annual rate of 11.65%.

The Mekong River is located in the center of the tropical monsoon region of Asia, where species resources are abundant and the temporal and spatial changes of runoff vary greatly. Recently, the construction of hydroelectric dams and reservoirs is putting water resources under pressure. Scholars have found these developments cause flow rate changed, further affecting the water quality and ecological diversity. The decrease in the types and number of fish has caused the collapse of socio-economic structures overly dependent on traditional fishing. In dry season, farmers have no land to cultivate, but in flood season, irrigation agriculture reaps nothing at harvest time. Traditional industries are gradually disappearing with economic development depressed. Therefore, the helpless peasants can only go to excavate sands to live. However, the large-scale sand excavation causes a vicious circle, which affects the life of local residents and undermines the stability of river banks.Therefore the ecological recovery capacity of the river Basin responsing to natural disasters severely weakened. Through these, four representative nodes were selected. Aimed at the different terrain structures and cultures of the Mekong River Basin, four modular

Tidal flood is one of natural disaster that happens frequently which caused by several factors such as sea level rise as a result of climate change, land exploitation, massive housings near coastal area, etc. Those factors cause tidal flood often occur especially in Indonesia that known as archipelago country. One of the city that still have on going tidal flood issue is Pekalongan City. Pekalongan city or “Batik city� is world creative city claimed by UNESCO. Flood hazard mapping was developed by integrating GIS operation with DEM Innovation to overcome those problems are integrating water development from upstream to downstream by emphasize the prevention of water entry from sea with dyke and tetrapod as a wave-breaker to protect coastal area from the damage of tidal flood. Supported by mangrove for tourism and ecological purposes, rain garden, canal as retention pond, polder settlement, and river dam. All of those above build water scheme that will prevent the damage of overflowing water not only from upstream but also from downstream. Other than that, innovation is also done on the management of batik waste treatment which is one of the cause of more severe tidal flood, because batik waste able to decrease the ability to absorb water significantly.

This project is defined along Karoun river’s bank which is located in the city of Ahwaz (In south-west of Iran). Karoun over-flows in particular seasons every year. Several dams have been built on the river which have demolished domestic ecosystem. One of the proposes of this project is to resolve environmental problems of the site. Another goal is to deal with challenges of the historical context of the project. This area gained a special importance after construction of Suez Canal, for Karoun is the only river in Iran which is connected to the international waters. Subsequently, city of Ahwaz earned economical values to attract foreigner’s merchant ships. At first, the pier was emerged and then many caravanserais and residents and prosperous bazaars were formed. As time goes by, as a result of Oil discovery, this waterway lost its economic value and eventually, all those river-dependent facilities were deserted and demolished. This project is aimed to suggest resolutions to face destructions of Nature and historical identity disruption in its context. In order to dealing with natural forces such as flood water, resilient landscape was chosen as the main concept and specific parts of the projects were unified with dynamic nature of Karoun. Furthermore, studies have been done to consider historical context which resulted in

A BRIEF HISTORY
Constant development and growth of the site as industry for steel and concrete production, important regional employer and economic flagship of western Naples.
Closing of the factory sites step by step after steel and further economic crisis, loss of thousands of jobs – what is left behind is an enormous assemblage of industrial and spatial heritage.
Turning point and managing decline. Multiple attempts to reactivate and regain the place trough masterplans and architectural interventions. They all fail or get closed by the local government.

The loop creates new entrances to the city and serves as a comprehensive framework for its inner multi-coded, versatile, intensly programmed and impetus-giving area. As a zoning tool it defines spaces between dynamic and slow transformation potential. Additionally, the unique shape, based on the spatial conditions of the site, provides excellent orientation and creates a new signature.
Framed through the spatial borders of the area and the pioneering loop, dynamic zones with different focuses can unfold. These could for example take place in urban planning, touristic, economic or self sustainable levels. These potent spaces only have a rough set structure and intend to animate local actors to conquer and adapt these places for a dynamic, multi-phased long-term development.
Through the intervention of the loop a worth protecting core of the area is clearly identifiable for the first time. Its iconic identity with huge industrial ruins and characteristic succession zones can be evolved carefully. Here, usage is regulated in a way that prevents further disturbance or harm to Naples most famous expanse.

A whole long-term strategy is needed. To achieve this goal, a concept with three major strategies was developed. Each strategy has its own time horizon, but they all act closely together. The loop creates new entrances to the surrounding city and serves as a comprehensive framework for its versatile inner area. As a zoning tool it defines spaces between dynamic and slow transformation potential. The unique shape provides excellent orientation and creates a new signature. Framed through the spatial borders of the area and the pioneering loop, dynamic zones withdifferent focuses can unfold. These could for example take place in economic or self sustainablelevels.

Lagos Lagoon is a lagoon sharing its name with the city of Lagos, Nigeria, the largest city in Africa, which lies on its south-western side. Lagos Lagoon is also a major harbour for ships importing goods into Nigeria. We pick Makoko,one of the biggest slums in the lagoon area,as a further explanation is not only because it is an high density settlement,but also because people's lives there count on water.

we found that the time of simulated oil spill reached the shore influenced primarily by windspeed ,so we got the inspiration from windrose diagram. and we make use of curving space to collect spilled oil because it can offer larger contact area.besides,we designed some platform to transform the recycled oil.

Colonial period Nigeria continues to grow in population density and urbanization. Urbanization in Nigeria is described, and on the basis of the population increases an urban hierarchy is suggested, with Lagos on top, growing at a sustained rate four times the national average.The expanding city is both moving outwards in a vast sprawl and inward pressing the urban boundaries into the lagoon where floating villages exist like Makoko and reclaiming land has become the norm.The Lagos Lagoon is under consistent and sometimes severe pressure from diverse forms of human activities emanating from the surrounding city centres.

Lagos Lagoon is a major harbour for ships importing goods into Nigeria. Due to the drastic oil exploitation activities, this water area has been contaminated by oil leaks every year, which has exerted great pressure on the ecological environment here. On the coast of Lagos Lagoon, many dwellers live in water slums like Makoko whose lives and production activities are seriously damaged under such condition. The project aims to solve the problem of water purification along the coast of Lagos Lagoon and focuses on the densely populated areas such as Makoko. Through the analysis of local meteorological and hydrological analysis, three ecological restoration floating belts as a conceptual model are proposed. Through different combinations of floating platforms and plant cultivation, there are three different spaces for oil collection space, trading space and public space. The three belts, which is built by local construction waste wood, continues all along the edge of Makoko. The approach to purification is oil collection, storage and transforming the oil into a reusable resource. Through this purifying procedure, new job opportunities will be provided to the

Makoko is a slum where people have learned how to live in harmony with water. Their subsistence and recreation relate closely to water.Along the Lagos Lagoon there are a number of slum areas the same as Makoko. As a result,the whole circle of the slum society was easily broken by oil pollution on water which also caused a lot of problems in different aspects: 1.Biodiversity loss 2.Economy recession 3.Life quality degration

LOOKING FOR RESILIENCE OF NATURE The area we choose for this project belongs to Dadap (Dadap, Kosambi, Tangerang, Banten, Indonesia), located in the north of Java, near Jakarta. This area faces two major city risks: 1) Frequently occurring but short-lived hydrometeorological disasters, and 2) longterm sea level rising and ground sinking which threaten urban security. Other conflicts in this region include: Tensions between population and land resources; poverty and terrible living conditions, etc. All these threats have made Dadap almost lose its ability to cope with urban risks. For the above problem, we propose three ways to improve urban resilience. 1 Transformation of Watertown. Dadap will be submerged permanently in 50 years, so we decide to conform the natural rule to transform Dadap into a “city above the sea”, in order to protect its residents and provide new space for development. 2 Restoration of mangroves. Restore the coastal disappeared mangrove ecosystem. On the one hand, mangroves can resist hydrometeorological disasters and reduce the negative effects of sea-level rising as well as ground-sinking. On the other hand, reasonable mangrove utilization (for timber, fishery, tourism, etc.) can effectively promote local economy development. 3 Port construction. River Dadap goes

UNITY, VARIETY AND SYNERGY
This project aims to protect the City Chiang Mai against the rainstorm event. Chiang Mai is an ancient city with the historic canal. Due to the city expansion, canals and green system have been destroyed. Consequently, the run-off flows from the west mountain and flood the city after the rainstorm. To avoid the disaster, also to protect one of the most fragile eco-systems – urban system, the regeneration for the city must be carried out. By regeneration, resilience is the core which has the spatial and time dimension. Spatial dimension means, different but interrelated systems take part in process of the disaster. Here, three interactive systems (canal, green and traffic system) will be regenerated against the rainstorm. By rebuilding, the systems meet the demands of various groups in different periods, so that they can endure the rainstorm. The time dimension requires that different periods of the rainstorm and the possibility of future development must be considered into the solution. With the concept, the strategy before and after the rainstorm as well as the future potential was put forward.

THE ARK OF RED CROWNED CRANE
The site is located in the northeast of China, which is in Panjin City, Liaoning province, named red beach ecological rehabilitation With the expansion and development of Panjin City, the population and the demand for food has been increased. A large number of reed wetlands have been reclaimed and become paddy fields and fish ponds. With the Destruction of wetland sponges , the arid climate increased. And the problem of water shortage in this area worsened, followed by the rise of soil salinity and the ecological environment become worse. So the main problems are that Suaeda salsa has been degraded on a large scale and the living conditions of wetland birds ,especially crowned cranes ,and other organisms have become even more severe. So according to the actual situation, we come up with three strategies. The first one is wetlands succession by improving the soil conditions through local fast-growing tree species and restoring reed wetlands. The second one is about coastal ecological succession . By elevating some of the roads, so that the Suaeda can expand inwards and integrate naturally into wetlands. The third one is refer to lake succession. We try to break the boundaries of the reservoir where Breeding economic fish species and recover natural water ecosystem with manual intervention

The site is located in Japan lake BIWA SATOYAMA. Lake BIWA is Japan’s largest fresh lake. Japan SATOYAMA is a kind of ecotone, which consists of mountains, fields and buildings. Japan, one of the most densely populated countries in the world. It is faced with a shortage of land resources and a lot of mountain crisis. Japan lake BIWA SATOYAMA is a typical area. There are a variety of complex stress: the aging society, the high cost of labor, cannot manage and continuous spread of the bamboo forest, the decrease of biological diversity, the increasing number of visitors for the industry and the environment pressure, continuously invest money and manpower for the governance of the lake. We put forward a functional water (water is the region’s biggest resource) system. With the natural growth and decrease of water level, seasonal intervention was conducted to bamboo rhizome-roots to reduce their vitality, thus regulating the vitality of bamboo forests and inhibiting the expansion of bamboo forests. At the same time, the water level brings resources and energy to the living creatures of the region, bringing vitality to the development of agriculture and tertiary industry. The water, bamboo, soil and plants of the whole area can be effectively utilized. This process builds BAMBOO CELL A and B. And

REBIRTH AFTER REORGANIZATION
A catastrophic landslide occurred at Xinmo village in Maoxian County, Sichuan Province, China, on June 24, 2017. It was one of China’s top-ten major natural disasters this year. As a result, 83 people were killed or went missing while 103 houses were destroyed. Such disaster happen frequently in the upper reaches of Minjiang River, where there is a fragile ecology. Thus, the prevention of this tragedies deserves attention and investments. This program develops a modular and replicable systems to decline the risk and probable damage of the landslides. The measurements includes the pre-disaster protection and the post-disaster governance. The protection measurements aim at reducing the risk of disasters by building up protection and ecological structures, while the governance at the reconstruction of human habitat and ecological environment. The detailed measurements are: reducing the risk of the landslide with slope protection and retaining wall, Increasing biodiversity by dredging waterways and building wetland, remodeling the local culture by village reconstruction, recovery agriculture by more groves and multi-layer planting. The program would contribute to the

SHARED LANDSCAPE PATTERN
In the development of urbanization, the natural landscape has been severely damaged. In order to improve the landscape, the key is to awaken the human love for the landscape from heart. Only in this way can humans protect nature under the unconscious, and add more power to the ecological restoration. The project selected three representative sites in Xi’an, Shaanxi Province, China: the city wall is an important defensive system for traditional Chinese cities, and is also one of the important urban cultural features of today; the Chenghuang Temple is the godhead space for urban security and folk beliefs. One; centripetal residential area is the most basic unit of the living landscape system. The project is to design the environment of these three places, from point to pattern, to change the people’s needs for nature from the perspective of the landscape, and change the pattern of getting along with nature on details. To achieve a landscape that is not only functional and visual but also co-participating. People and landscape are inextricably linked.

WAIT FOR TYPHOON TO COME As the major riverway of Fuding city, the Shuibeixi River not only becomes the corridor for water storage, but also poses potential threat to this city. Excessive rainwater brought by typhoon destroys the water corridor balance of Fuding. Thus, rainwater accumulates excessively in this city within a short time, and results in such ecological problems as landslides, urban waterlogging and water body pollution. Facing this city’s pattern, which is featured with “a city, a river, two banks and lots of hills”, we have put forward three ways to enhance the antidisaster ability of coastal cities: dredging the water system network, flexibly draining and storing water, and purifying water bodies. By maintaining water balance, we aim to strengthen the urban flexibility before and after the arrival of a typhoon, reduce the destruction of the city due to too much rainwater. At the same time, we store water, and release clean water at the time of drought to maintain water balance and intensify the reversibility of urban ecology by intelligent technologies.

The project is located in the ancient capital of xi ‘an, which carries the millennial culture, and is a solution to the environmental problems of the people living in the villages left by xi ‘an in the rapid development of cities. The village in the city is like a lonely island in a busy city, there are a lot of criticism: construction of high density, the lack of public space, green area is too small, lack of urban service facilities management, traffic streamline chaos, etc. In view of these problems we propose the ecological transformation method from macroscopic to microscopic regeneration space. Through the subtle combination of urban agricultural landscape and the reinforced jungle environment in the village, the plan of “green seams” in village is carried out from the four aspects of architectural form improvement, micro space creation, sewage treatment and greening space construction. In the process of urbanization, urban village renovation to a great extent, affects the image of a city, through the “green seam in the village” ecological reconstruction scheme, make the urban villages have more flexibility and better integrated into the city, become an organic part of the city.

THE NETWORK INLAY
Under the background of the desertification of grassland and the increasingly serious soil erosion and water loss in Inner Mongolia, the ecological environment of the mining area and the development of the nearby town and city are seriously threatened by the influence of the industrial and mineral development. This scheme uses elastic landscape measures to improve the water storage capacity of the water system around the mining area and the town, reconstruct the surface soil around the water system, and form the green corridors and net to prevent the impact of dust storm and industrial pollution on the town. On the one hand, the urban and mining areas are repaired by “water green melting”, and the separation boundary between them and the natural region is bridged. On the other hand, through the reclamation of the mine and upgrading of the industry, more agriculture resources and employment opportunities are provided to the cities and towns, which will relieve the social environmental pressure caused by the rapid population growth. The project envisages a joint transformation of the urban mine with the whole water network and green corridor as a link. Through the design of the elastic landscape, the ecological environment problems caused by the natural and human of the mining areas are solved, and the human and ecological system can be self restored, and the ability to adapt and plan the future is also given.

UNFINISHED CEMETERY LANDSCAPE In the process of urbanization, the strong vitality of the city attracts constantly an inflow of foreign people, during which many problems are gradually led to in the case of less completion of urban infrastructure and lack of policy guarantee for the foreign population. This design takes Navotas city cemetery in Philippians as an example, revealing various problems of present situation in this region, emphasizing on the analysis of the main contradiction of fighting for land between the living and the dead, as well series of secondary contradictions influenced by nature and man’s activity. Targeted to problems above the temporary and sustainable strategy is proposed under the premise of consideration of local policy and religion, that is in the form of in-completion to realize the change gradually from provision of temporary place to relocation and then to cemetery park, and ultimately become an ideal memorial place of cemetery landscape to lay a foundation for the long-term and sustainable development of city.

FLEXIBLE SHARING OF URBAN GROUND
With the development of urbanization, intensive building has eroded land resources gradually, resulting in people’s outdoor public space has become fragmented and scarce, and eliminating the interaction between people by the blocked interior with wall. Moreover, the increasing number of cars leads to traffic jams and parking difficulties in cities. In view of the above problems, we try to use ground space under buildings to alleviate this contradiction. This project selects Xiaozhai Dristrict, Xi’an, as the site. Xiaozhai District is a famous business district in Xi’an, with a large number of people, traffic congestion and high building density. The design proposes the bottom parking streamline by dividing the “L”, “一” and “U” forms of relations between the building and the road, and then analyzes the behavior and time distribution of different population groups in Xiaozhai District to maximize the function of the ground space under buildings and to rationalize the facility function.

COEXISTENCE OF RAINFALL AND WATERLOG Wild paradise landscape proposal is mainly mangroves conservation project. But at the same time, it will make the path to interact human and nature together. My intention is to offer close up memorable experience with nature and provides enriching nature based experiences for visitors. Madhuwa is an extraordinary island situated in Sri Lanka. It has dense mangroves population. The primary object of this project is to conserve the mangrove and aware people about the value of mangrove conservation. Aim to design a landscape by help of ecotourism practices, which are proceeding today as well. Present ecotourism practice is doing by the village people as their occupation. By observations, it is evident that those ecotourism practices were disorganized. According to those facts, a first intention was to conserve the mangrove ecosystem by using sustainable ecotourism practices, so that have studied furthermore about the mangrove wetland. Thoughts about mainly landscape design by interacting visitors with the migration birds, Animals and underwater fauna and other who live around the mangrove wetland. Based on that is proposed to implement there are four significant programs in the island according to its geography. Those are the wet walkway, dry walkway, Canopy Walkway, observation towers and cages. Aim to give an excellent experience to visitors by interacting all biodiversity together.

DESTRUCTION OR REBIRTH
-PROTECTION LANDSCAPE IN THE DANGEROUS INDUSTRIAL AREA
At the edge of urbanization, Yuhuazhai, a group of people living in the gap between the urban and rural areas, and there are serious security risks around them. “Yuhuazhai” is a densely populated region, close to chemical factories. Probable chemical explosions, severe pollution, extremely imperfect ecosystems, and fragile urban transitional areas, all of these problems need landscape to solve and release, therefore stability of the ecosystem in this region would be improved, and ecologically protected areas would be established which are self-healing. Moreover, the awareness of human-centered landscape is gradually diminished. The negative effects to ecosystem by human would be decreased gradually. This design consists of three parts: 1. In the aerobic wetland adjacent to the urban road, we build animal corridors, ecological corridors, and ecological wetlands, which could enhance the participation of animals, and reduce the negative impact of cities on the surrounding areas. 2. In the ecological safety protection belt near the chemical factories, we reduce the damage of the explosion through vertical surface change; absorb harmful gases from chemical factories through reasonable planting and collocation; and prevent or reduce

Kunming is surrounded by mountains on three sides and Dianchi on the south. Dianchi is the largest plateau lake in Yunnan Province, and the sixth largest freshwater lake in the country. Because of the low latitude plateau and the formation of "four seasons like spring" climate, especially the plateau lake Dianchi is adjusting the temperature and humidity, so that the air is fresh, sky high clouds, bright sunshine, flowers often open.

For decades, the crisis of the lake has been growing at the same time as the economic development. The fate of a lake in the southwest plateau has touched the hearts of countless people - Dianchi, the mother lake of the city of Kunming, its pollution is regarded as “late terminal disease”. The red mouth seagull flying from Siberia every year is the elves of Dianchi. People come here to watch birds feed the birds and become a kind of city life. As the water eutrophication of the bird’s habitat becomes more and more serious, there is no bird in Dianchi in the next few decades! Solve the problem：

The floating islands in the transitional area purify the water quality and increase the fish culture area.
Non-removable Lake Center
floating island The non-removable floating island is set in a wide area of the river and plays a role in purifying water quality, conserving water resources, and restoring the ecological environment of the local animals and plants.
Near the center of the lake, fish culture has increased, and the water quality has been detected through the health status of fish.
Domestic sewage is purified, ducts are diverted, and pipelines and sewage are put into the mouth of the estuary to build a purification pool.
Plants are mainly planted with aquatic plants and native plants, and bridges and shrubs are combined to plant different tolerant plants based on the degree of pollution in different regions. The landscape effect is also taken into account in the purification.

In order to restore the vitality of the water environment, we use ecological floating island, fixed island and wetland biochemical methods to reduce the eutrophication in the lake. Biological monitoring is set up at the junction of the sea to the sea, and the water quality and pollution purification are monitored by animals and plants. Through our transformation of the seagull habitat, the resilience of Dianchi was increased, and then the city was repaired, and the tender mother continued to take her running child into the arm and continue to nurture her children.
The movable floating island is set in the narrow entrance area of the river, and the rainy season is approaching. The precipitation increases, and the movable floating island plays a role in purifying the water quality without affecting the flood discharge of the river.

The rapid development of the city has brought a huge environmental burden to Dianchi Lake. Urban sewage, agricultural sewage, and industrial wastewater are discharged into Dianchi Lake in an uncontrolled manner, allowing the deposition rate of pollutants to exceed the self-purification speed of Dianchi Lake. In the past few decades, Dianchi Lake's capacity for contaminating water has become increasingly critical, water quality has deteriorated, and the ecological environment has been greatly threatened. Uncontrolled human behavior has caused Dianchi Lake to lose its original flexibility.

BIRD FACTORY
Named after the bird factory, since the reform and opening up, Baoji City, with the rapid development of local cities, the city’s industrial structure needs to be adjusted, faced with urban transformation, a large number of factory migration and transformation, resulting in abandoned old factories, not only occupies the living space of humans, It is even more damaging to the environment, leading to a reduction in biodiversity, especially the reduction of local birds. The project is mainly based on transforming factories and residential areas, using local abandoned industrial plants, residential areas, water towers and wastelands as the basis for greening designs on the roofs and towers, and using the bird’s dietary habits to provide plant fruits for them. Spreading seeds through bird excrement, the ecological area will spread over time, eventually forming the greening of the entire area, restoring the ecological environment, and realizing the harmonious coexistence between man and nature.

CALLING FROM THE SNOW MOUNTAIN
Shangri-la is located in the northwest of Yunnan Province and in the hinterland of the Hengduan Mountains of the Tibetan Plateau. The design was based on the idea of building Tangtang Township in Shangri-La. The problem was mainly reflected in the degraded soil around the Napahai Wetland, surrounding pastures and idle land around the city. we proposed three major solutions: I. Wetland degradation Strategy: Build a retaining landscape device to intercept the soil and sediment, and use the natural method to create a wetland habitat, purify the water quality of the lake. Second, grassland degradation Strategy: 1. Soil pressure device design: The device can relieve the soil pressure caused by trampling of grassland by cattle, sheep and visitors in pasture areas. The principle is to conduct the load to the bottom of the base to ensure that the soil is not trampled over. 2. Artificial grass grid distribution principle: It was found that when the three grasslands were distributed in the form of autocorrelation distances of “Pintosporium herbifolia, tall fescue> alfalfa”, their respective soil plaques could form a stable spherical shape.

ALL BLUE
In recent years, global warming and rising sea levels have caused erosion of coastlines around the world. The vast majority of coastlines in Hainan Province in China have suffered significant reduction or even loss of wind protection and flood control capabilities on most coastlines due to natural disasters and urbanization. Coastal erosion is a very serious issue. This issue is imminent for Hainan Province at this stage. We strive to use the concept of flexibility to enhance the bearing capacity of the coastline from three aspects of nature, economy and landscape and allow it to develop flexibly. Through our resilient landscape design, Hainan Province will have enough capacity to face serious natural disasters and also be able to effectively cope with the negative effects of urbanization. At the same time, these designs not only bring about ecological and natural changes, but also bring economic benefits. They also hope that through our design, they can bring enlightenment to people. This design integrates measures with the landscape, hoping to achieve maximum results with minimal intervention. At the same time, the integration of landscape and measures not only has a landscape effect, but also can avoid disturbing people’s daily life. From this we will give the people the blue, the ocean blue, and the natural blue with the title of “all blue.”

THE OVERPASS FOREST PACKAGE
This design through encompassing urban overpasses with forest packages, enable every single overpass own a particular resilient ecological chain, becoming a specific plate in the city. It also makes urban overpass networks full of landscape corridors, spreading the whole city’s ecological network into every corner, helping with urban problems such as heat island effect, microclimate and urban landscape environment. The design takes advantages of urban construction waste to build up the terrain, and as time flies, the landscape terrain can be formed naturally. In addition, it improves per capita greening rate in urban areas, leads birds back to their migrating routes, and completes cities’ ecological system. The landscape orientation and the project predictability are both considered in the design. The forest packages is used to diminish the coldness from armored concrete and reflect vitality in cities. Trough the resilience remain of landscape, the relationship between the forest packages and the surrounding existing buildings are settled down. The amount of urban forest packages are maximized without negative effects on a city’s normal operation, and finally there can be a resilient ecology provided for the city.

COPING WITH HEAVY SNOWFALLS WITH RESILIENT ROAD FACILITIES In recent years, extreme weather has occurred frequently. In the situations of snowfall days in the process urbanization, sudden and heavy snowstorms have caused serious problems to urban roads and their facilities, and hence, they could not function properly. Among those problems, traffic jam appears to be the most prominent one. The existing solutions have also caused problems in snow pollution and the scenery of the city, making the city road and its construction suffering from a great test. Xi ‘an is a city that has a few snowy days. However, when it snows, it pours. Therefore, the city officials are not able to solve the problem of traffic paralysis in a timely manner due to its uniqueness. Therefore, it is proposed to respect bus optimization, ecological and aesthetic principles on the construction of flexiable urban road facilities. Then we put forward a number of core strategies including increased storage space, increased friction coefficient and strengthened management. These strategies can be divided into measures from three aspects: storage infiltration, heat dissipation and human-centered facilities. The flexible road facilities are suitable for the normal operation of urban traffic before the snowfall. When it is snowing, those facilities will actively improve the road condition. And after the snowfall, the following operation will solve potential problems. Thus, a harmonious and balanced relations among snow environment, road space, and human will be maintained in a coordinating way.

This design allows the city to breathe in a peaceful way by adopting a new strategy named The Unblocking of the Ground Floor of Street Buildings. And therefore, a balanced use of space among human, vehicles and the building itself will be achieved. A removable steel structure is added to create various forms of space distribution according to different demands from its users and duration. For example, This item will provide a recreational space for children, senior citizens, and non-officer workers during daytime. And this place will be tranformed into a parking lot for office-workers at night. Meanwhile, this area may provide a buffering against extreme wearhers. Furthermore, the pressure from heavy traffic load and urban drainage load may be relieved with the introduction of this design. In this way, the city will be able to take a deep breath and rejuvanate in the new era.

LAND-OCEAN SYMBIOSIS:
A RESILIENT RESTORATION OF THE MARINE WHIT-POLLUTED COASTLINE
The ocean is an important place for gestation of life. Due to its strong self-purification capability, the ocean has become an important channel for mankind to deal with garbage and discharge pollution for thousands of years. With the development of human industrial civilization, the self-net-bearing capacity of the ocean far exceeds the emissions that humans have given her. According to statistics, 150 million tons of rubbish have been discharged into the ocean and the number will continue to increase.This problem will be analyzed and solved from the perspective of elastic restoration of the landscape architecture. Restore the ecological system to its original stage, keep the structure of the system and function even under the consistent influence of the marine debris. The focus will be put on the post-disaster recovery and the formation of the coastal ecological system.

ACTIVATING BORDERS
- A FLEXIBLE DESIGN FOR SHARED URBEN SPACE
With the acceleration of urbanization, the inconsistencies between the decreasing shared urban space and residents’ increasingly needs of living landscape are intensified, which contributes to the prominence of the available value of city borders, a kind of potential shared urban space. On the understanding of borders’ importance in enclosing, this design will re-examine its availability. The most shared spaces of hospitals, campuses, institution buildings will be sampled to conceptualize and satisfy residents’ effectual demands. The elimination of the related adverse factors and the combination of the buildings’ functions and the properties of the borders require a various degree for the setting of sharing mode, according to the local conditions and the stress on the double dimensions of time and space. Thus, the permeability of border space will be enforced and the utilization of space will also be effectively enhanced. The shared urban space can be expanded by activating borders space, which will motivate residents’ positive interaction and promote the fusion and symbiosis of space and borders.

MARKET REBIRTH -FLEXIBLE USE AND CONSTRUCTION OF TRADITIONAL MARKET SPACE
Street Market: In traditional Chinese cities, it is not only a market function but also an important place for people to exchange and communicate. With the acceleration of urbanization, street market is gradually disappearing. This project focus on Xicang Street Market of Xi’an, an historic city in China, aims at solving problems such as the interpersonal indifference, environment and traffic jams, cultural memory loss and so on. The transformation project is considered from three levels: macroscale, mesoscale and microscale. Macro: optimizing thelayout of the business, planing road network reasonably, and improving the carrying capacity of people in the market space. Meso: using the pressure of walking on the sidewalk to collect energy; The sales booth of market adopts the new materials to structure construction of the store, which can reduce the noise and improve the microclimate of the neighborhood. When the structure is put down, city memory wall can be formed and city memory can be activated.

SHARED CITY :A CO-LIVING ATTEMPT OF LOCAL RESIDENTS
Many urban streets in China are mixed with very crude and civilian feeling of life. People learn to coexist and share through daily interactions, exchanges, and contacts in the streets. But with the acceleration of urbanization, the once familiar streets are gradually disappearing. We believe that the streets are the core of urban life, and the diversity of street functions is the essence of elastic landscapes. The program takes Xi’an as an example, and starts from the lifestyle of a “co-living”, clued with local residents’ daily life, to discover, summarize and analyze the interests and space defects of different residents, so as to identify the space for optimization and improvement in the venue. Time-sharing is realized through creating a dynamic core of a “co-living”, improving slowmoving passage, strengthening group nodes, and integrating spatial functions. With timesharing space, an online interactive sharing platform is designed for creative people to realize cooperation from acquaintance and produce communitybased creative genes.

REGURGITATION FEEDING
REGURGITATING-FEEDING—an improvement program for the storm surge treatment in Bangladesh river estuary region. Coastal inundation and erosion, saline intrusion, land salinization, and habitat destruction of aquatic animals and reduction of fishery resources caused by overfishing are big threats imposed to Bangladesh estuaries. Natural disaster invasion buffer space was delimited based on the local land-form and assessed hardest hit areas, and “C-shaped” seawalls stretching miles were established in order to collect the waves and reduce the impact of water. Moreover, the disaster prevention space was created at the high ground of dam. In the stormless seasons, it can not only provide agricultural production and fish stocking, but also bring economic income to the local residents. When the storm has left, the fish stock can return to nature, and the improvement of eco-environment, recovery of biological richness, and enhanced resistance of nature disaster can be achieved to regurgitation-feeding nature.

THE DEFENSIVENESS OF ECOLOGICAL LANDSCAPE FOR COLD AND ARID CITIES In the current urban development, cities in high latitudes often bear more natural factors. This design scheme tries to solve the negative impact on the development of cold and arid cities in the high latitudes of Wuhai, the annual cold climate lasting five months, droughts caused by the wide gap between precipitation (162 mm) and evaporation (3481 mm), and the yearlong effects brought about by sandstorms of the third vastest desert of China. The concrete measures are to prevent sand and sand from eroding the river, to draw water to the city, to set up the subsidence space to adjust the local climate, and to gradually weaken the natural negative effects.Landscape design with ecological defense and self-regulation ability. With the passage of time, the urban subsidence space and the landscape water network of the urban system are connected and diffused to form an ecological development green city with self-regulating ability.

THE REVIVIFICATION OF CILIWUNG RIVER
In the last 100 years, with economic development and urban expansion, the Ciliwung River Valley in Jakarta, Indonesia, has randomly and disorderly formed countless slums. The river is squeezed into narrow, garbage heap, bad riverbank spatial order affects the river confluence, the river loses drainage and self-regulation function. The area is facing serious flooding and river pollution. Flood and river pollution lead to the destruction of ecological environment and the spread of bacterial diseases, which threaten the life and health of local residents. We hope that through the establishment of urban shared space system to alleviate the ecological and social problems of rivers and their surrounding areas, wake up the community to live. To revive the Ciliwung River. Our strategy is to expand the river channel through spatial integration, to give space to the river, to integrate the spatial order within the concession range, and to accept the residents who have been cleared of the adjacent river channel at the same time. In the process of integration, the resilience of the landscape is taken into account. The method of integration is to connect all aspects of residents’ lives with public space by using a “shared box”. At the same time, the residents’ living conditions and community relations should be reorganized, and the community residents should be guided to realize the “community selforganization” model step by step.

REGENERATIVE OF LINEAR TOWN : LONGITUDINAL CONTROL AND TRANSVERSE EXTENSION
This scheme is located in YanChuan Town in Shaanxi Province, a representative linear town town distributed along the channel, which is located in the loess plateau gully region with low rainfall. Large areas in the gully region need to confront the problem of soil and water loss; The water is affected by rainwater runoff and water pollution of town residents and is accompanied by sudden seasonal flood; At the same time, the high density linear arrangement of urban buildings also blocks the continuity of landscape on both sides of the town, aggravating the heat island effect. This scheme aimed at dealing with urban natural disasters and construction of the town itself under the guidance of resilient strategy by promoting transverse development of mountain, water and town to break the town’s original longitudinal development. The specific measures are as follows: Restore mountain resilience by controlling soil erosion and constructing ecological green network, Activate the water resilience by repairing water pollution and dealing with flood disaster, and build the urban resilience by easing the residential pressure and intersecting the public green space. In this way, it can improve the local landscape environment adaptability of the urban residents, which further construct a harmonious living environment unit between urban residents and the local natural ecosystem.

The site is named Luojia village, which is a typical representative of hundreds of urban village in Xian City, it was surrounded by functional section but blocked and isolated by walls. We need sufficient preparations for threatens indisasters and integrating with the surroundings while cooperating for development. PROBLEM: Under the almost extremely living condition, though hidden danger everywhere but these living place has extraordinary diversity and share-ability, we hoping to extend the vibrant landscape by our design strategy. STRATEGY: The target for this site is safety, integration and development.Reconstructing the near-ground space, forming into street safety space to make sure people can pass through safely during disaster happens.Breaking the walls, increasing the number of the exit way.Point renewal shopfront to promote integration and self-renewal.In ordinary days, new landscape infrastructure will be the fresh sight of the place. INNOVATION: In the post-urbanization era, the integration of virtual society is increasing, however, the gap between the realistic society is increasing. The resilience development of cities is more relying on the patching of crevices in different dimensions. What we are focusing on is the scuffing capacity of landscapes on small scale spaces, promoting sharing, symbiosis and self renewal of fragile site, and enhancing the integration among people with different incomes, occupations, and academic qualifications and so on.

TO THE UNKNOWN - THE LANDSCAPE IN WATER
The site of the project is located in Huangshi City, Hubei Province, in the midst of Huang Jing Mountain, Daye Lake and the Yangtze River, and also at the junction of Xisai Mountain, Yangxin County and Daye City. In terms of its surrounding landforms with the subtropical monsoon climate ,an average drought and flood occurs every four years, millions of acres of farmland damaged, buildings collapsed with casualties, bringing direct economic losses amounted to 100 million RMB. Due to the complexity of the disasters and the environment, this project aims to regulate water system horizontally and vertically to achieve mutual benefit and symbiosis between human and nature. Horizontally, river water flushing and inflowing and the related problems will be solved by some prevention and absorption strategies. Vertically, water pollution and regional microclimate will be improved with absorbing and utilizing approaches. Nature, to us human beings, is almost the unknown with great resilience, on which we always respond to our city disasters by little knowledge. Natural vitality of urban environment will be rejuvenated by the landscape approaches well integrated into nature to improve urban resilience. The project aims to rejuvenate the urban environment damaged by disasters through landscape approaches. In other words, landscape approaches are stimulation to the unknown of nature to improve urban resilience.

WATER STORY
- URBANITY WITHIN A SELF SUBSTAINABLE LANDSCAPE/CITY
THE WATER STORY Matilda Bay Reserve is a natural bay located within the Perth City of Western Australia, with pockets of wetlands and beaches, along with plenty of recreational facilities open to the public. It extends from Mounts Bay Road in the North to the Southern end of Pelican Point, an important breeding sanctuary for migratory birds, accompanied by Swan River on its right and an educational institution located opposite. Drastic earthworks in the past had exposed the land to pollution and harsh conditions. The current population could only imagine what Matilda Bay used to be, from the stories passed down from the Aboriginals and early explorers; a wetland paradise, a treasure trove of flora and fauna. Proposal ‘Water Story’ strives to rejuvenate Matilda Bay to its former glory and further, through reinforcement, by utilising natural interventions against immediate natural calamities especially radiant heat, heavy rainfall, rising sea levels and destructive floods. All while reconciling the land with a broader ecological system, in confidence of restoring the once cherished biodiversity. ‘Crawley Bath’, a title and site as remembered by our forefathers will be re-established where engaging with the waters of Matilda Bay is encouraged, particularly in an integrative manner.

OASIS REVOLUTION
The desertification in the world is becoming worse and worse today, and Dalad Banner on the Silk Road is being eroded by sand dunes from the Western Kubuqi Desert. 60 years ago, there used to be dense vegetation here. But due to human destruction, it turned into the desert. According to the social background and problems in the region, our solutions are divided into three major stages based on the specific conditions in different regions. In the first stage, measures such as installation of anti-sand walls and condensing systems were used to achieve sand prevention and sand fixation and ecological restoration; in the second stage, the original inefficient power supply mode can be updated by developing clean energy, and the agricultural development can be adjusted by adjusting the biological chain. In the third stage, through planning, a new desert city will be established, which can be the driver for local economic development.

RESILIENT LANDSCAPES OF FLOODED URBAN AREAS. TIBER RIVER BASIN, ROME, ITALY.
The case of study is a suburb in the SouthWest of Rome. The primary connections of the area are the State Road 8 and the Railway. The Tiber river delta plane is a very natural place, with considerable problems related to seasonal floods, that very frequently affect the urban areas. The vulnerability of the site depends on the tremendous and rapid urban sprawl: there are no public areas, and there are many empty spaces as well. Moreover, the neighbourhood is entirely car-oriented, without enough spaces for pedestrians, and is characterized by a high density of population. The project aims to investigate the possibilities to use the empty spaces to create areas that can collect the water and reduce the flood problem significantly. It consists of the identification of two main corridors of intervention: one inside the neighbourhood and close to the main channel, and another at the border. The creation of new floodable basins to collect the channel’s water is a possible solution to the lack of public spaces and the seasonal floods. The channels and the vegetation are the main cultural landmarks and became here the structure of the new green areas, with more flexible and sensitive urban spaces.

ISLANDS OF REBIRTH
In recent Years, the government vigorously developed heavy industry in order to reverse the trend of economic decline in Lushunkou District, resulting in a sharp decline in the area of agricultural land and the deterioration of the regional environment. The tourism industry also suffered a heavy blow. In the meantime, the rise in unemployment has exacerbated the loss of the agricultural workers’ population in Lushunkou District and further weakened the region’s potential for economic growth. The project aims to create a sustainable maritime agricultural landscape that will create better environment and employment opportunities for agricultural practitioners. While rejuvenating the agricultural economy in the region, it will also create a more dynamic maritime landscape and inject new impetus into the recovery of tourism.

THE REBIRTH OF THE BLACK GOLD
Jiuli District is located in the northwest of Xuzhou City, Jiangsu Province, China. There is a very rich underground mine, and PangZhuang coal mine in Jiuli District is one of them. The underground mining has resulted in the collapse of the ground and the High groundwater level in Xuzhou area, thus forming a collapsed lake, and the coal mining subsidence caused a collapsing Lake. The construction of the mining area and the agricultural land are tense, the contradiction between human and land is prominent, and the land subsidence causes the ecological environment problems, such as serious environmental pollution, soil erosion, land salinization and so on, and it is urgent to carry out ecological restoration. One of the most important points is that there are many mining workers’ villages around Jiuli Lake, and whether these people’s future life quality can be solved by landscape design is the hardest but most need to be solved in our plan. In 2006, the municipal government planned to build the Jiuli lake wetland, which is one of the important contents to revitalize Xuzhou old industrial base and coal mining subsidence. However, excessive anthropogenic interference and the construction trend of urban parks in East Lake can lead to the reverse succession of wetland biocommunities.Therefore, we use the principle of natural restoration to repair and update the damaged ecological environment, and put this element into consideration in landscape design. This is an innovation in our plan

PLAN FOR OIL SPILL
-A RESILIENT LANDSCAPE INFRASTRUCTURE SYSTEM FOR KHARG, A CITY WITH A HIGH RISK OF OIL SPILL. Oil spills often cause serious damages to eco-system and human society. Traditional methods like booms, skimmers, burning and chemical dispersant are not efficient or ecofriendly. How could landscape planning and design help on the issue? This is what the project tries to figure out. Kharg is an important oil industry city of Iran atich is also a high-sensitive city to oil spills with its fishing industry and coral system. To avoid the damage of a potential oil spill, we make an emergency plan and carry it out through a landscape infrastructure design The plan is based on a simulation experiment of a 10,000-ton oil spill at the main terminal with DHI’s oil spill model 4 stages of actions--defense, absorption, dispersant, and burning are applied according to the prediction. The first two stages, which rely on a landscape infrastructure system, will cover 85% of the oil released. The landscape infrastructure forms a linear coastal system with dynamic knots of Oyster Dams, Floating Fish-Farming Stations with super-hydrophobic sponge barriers) and Mametic Oil Spill Recovery Vessels. All the knots have their special uses when oil spill occurs, while they also play important roles in Kharg people’s everyday life as parts of the landscape system (boardwalk, fish farming stations and hammock plaza). A landscape infrastructure helps when disaster comes. That is resilience.

URBAN GREENERY AS A SOLUTION FOR LIFESTYLE DISEASES Despite the technological progress that one can nowadays observe, there are more and more diseases that come as a result of our lifestyle. Hi-tech innovations are, paradoxically, strengthening this phenomenon. The problem is still growing and it is practically impossible to eliminate it. 21st century diseases include obesity, stress, allergy, mental disorders and problems with the circulatory system. Society takes medicines, supplements, sophisticated methods of treatment, searching for causes, and not really the reasons. The aim of the project is prevention by putting on the wisdom of nature. Nature affects our health even at the cellular level so nature should be seen as a healing and mitigating factor. The idea is to inject greenery into the city fabric just like a doctor injects medications into patient’s body. Grey concrete streets in the city of Kielce will change into green spaces. The main assumption is to make people aware that even a small step can naturally have a huge impact on everyday health and constitute a specific remedy for 21st century diseases.

SHAPING ROADSIDE BIODIVERSITY IN KIELCE Reconstruction of species biodiversity in plant plantings in Kielce. Biodiversity is the basis of life on Earth. Thanks to it, it is possible to function ecosystems, from which we draw the necessary resources, such as oxygen, food, water. In the last hundred years, the disappearance of biodiversity in the world is visible, what is more, in Europe it is even bigger. This fact is particularly important for our health, and the current state leads to many diseases of cities such as allergies, air pollution, excessive noise. The biodiversity decline effect prevails in city centers at intersections of roads with the highest traffic intensity. Green belts leading to intersections are very poor in it. Usually, they are evenly trimmed lawns with a large area and have great potential. Cars slow down, leaving more exhausts, moreover, when braking friction between the tire and the road surface is generated and unwanted chemical compounds are created, for which there is no greenery to filter the air. The contaminants cause heart attacks, IQ decline, support alzheimer’s disease. Cars with the same, produce a lot more noise, which can cause: irritability, stress, fatigue, sleep disorders, decrease in concentration. Lack of biodiversity influences the resistance of our organisms, hence allergies that are more and more common in the society. In order to minimize the above-mentioned problems, we suggest to enrich these areas with a variety of greenery, and this will have a positive effect on many factors.

IMPROVEMENT OF RAINWATER RETENTION ON ARABLE LANDS IN THE SWIETOKRZYSKIE PROVINCE
- DROUGHT IN AGRICULTURAL AREAS
The project refers to the drought problem on arable areas in świętokrzyskie province in Poland, occurred as a result of inadequate land management in 70’ties (creating large scale farmlands, land draining and elimination of midfield natural reservoirs) and climate change. The analysis shows that agricultural areas predominate in Poland, therefore it is crucial to eliminate problems related to that economy sector. Research on drought occurrence based on 2017 data, proves that świętokrzyskie province is among other regions in Poland the most endangered with water scarcity. Four separate plots of different topography and location are selected for detailed study. The aim of the project is to improve water management and develop water disposing methods in drainage systems and also its appropriate use for irrigating agricultural fields. Due to the permutations in precipitation over years (climate change consequences) , all types of water storage systems should be introduced and evaporation should be reduced. Proposed solutions focus on natural midfield reservoirs restoration, reducing rain water outflow, rainwater surplus transport and storage into the specially designed village tanks, creating special soil layers facilitating water retention, appropriate systems for the fields use reducing evaporation, crops’ type change for plants with less water demand. These methods could be applied not only in this particular province but also as a general concept of water management approach in Poland.

PHYTOREMEDIATION PATH FOR AIR POLLUTION. WARSAW CASE STUDY
The project aims to create a phytoremediation path for the capital of Poland – Warsaw, to reduce air pollution and smog problems. Warsaw, as the center of an aglomeration is exposed to a wide range of air pollutants, which is caused not only by traffic, but also low stack-emission and industry. The air quality in Warsaw is very low and more and more onerous for inhabitants. Dangerous to health carcinogenic dusts and carbon oxides are emitted to the atmosphere. In order to improve the environment quality that inlfuences citizens’s health, a system of green phytoremediation paths is created. The main paths are located along the railway on an undeveloped area, that belong to a municipality. It creates a green buffer zone alinged to the most common in this area wind direction. This measure considerably reduces harmful substances movement in the city. Along the main paths modular pocket parks were located. Species and sizes of phytoremediation plants are chosen to best fit the local conditions. Paths are created as “the walls” for the smog and quality of air improvement, and also place’ aesthetic improvement. Species selection will be based on plants, which best purify the air, are easy to care and have the opportunity to grow in difficult environment conditions. The use of a biological method to environmental purrification – the phytoremediation – considerably improves the environment quality in highly urbanized area.

IMPROVING FLOOD PROTECTION ON VISTULA RIVER WITHIN ADMINISTRATIVE BORDERS OF SWIETOKRZYSKIE PROVINCE In the last dozen or so years, Central Europe was the area that suffered particularly from flood. In Poland the flood risk occurs throughout the year. The result of the floods are enormous material losses, financial outlays, fatalities and wounded. The number of injured in 2017 reached 173 and killed 13. Low level of surface and ground water retention as well as lack of retention reservoirs, polders, dry reservoirs, reservoirs with flood reserve is an additional factor increasing the risk of flooding. The analyzes carried out showed the need to adapt the existing flood infrastructure to climate change. The development of settlement areas and changes in the use of land in areas adjacent to the river resulted in the liquidation of riverside polders. The project involves the reconstruction of natural absorbent surfaces. Agricultural areas have been used for this purpose. These areas will be used as agricultural areas and during the flood they will accumulate water. The result will be protection of built-up areas. The water that was supposed to flood the houses of people will be found in polders. For water regulation, culverts will be used which additionally will strengthen the embankment. During the hazard, the culvert will be opened. The flood embankment and culvert will also be a recreational area. As additional security for people, it is recommended to build houses in a special system.

WILDNESS IN URBAN LANDSCAPE The aim of the project is to introduce beneficial insects, especially bees, into the city space. Bees appeared on the ground 100 million years ago and have survived to this day which indicates their ability to adapt and develop. One important reason why we should protect insects is the economic aspect. It is estimated that 1/3 of the total food in the world depends on the work of pollinating insects. Their work is valued at hundreds of millions of dollars a year. Over the years, the problem of extinction of beneficial insects is increasing. The main insect protection point has been developed throughout the city. It is located in the city center in order to integrate man with wild nature. We also indicated 2 potential points where it is possible to continue our idea. The project includes the creation of flower, honey meadows and fruit orchards in the area of the existing park in Kielce. The assumption of the project is to preserve the existing greenery and planting tall trees, shrubs and perennials. Crowding of trees protects lower melliferous plants from leaching nectars and pollen through the rain. Other design assumptions include the introduction of bee hives and homes for beneficial insects to the downtown park. The project proposes a solution to the problem of the lack of insects useful in the city space and shows how important they are needed for the survival of the human species.

SOFT LANDSCAPE SOLUTIONS FOR WATER MANAGEMENT IN KIELCE The main objective of the project is to strengthen the environmental resistance associated with heavy rainfall in the city center of Kielce. The undertaken activities will be directed at preventing the creation or minimization of negative effects of natural phenomena such as: destructive action of flood waters and flooding. Kielce are in the flood threatened area and the existing infrastructure protecting against floods is insufficient. Parts of the city are completely excluded from use, even during small flooding. In addition, it is a small city with insufficient budget for large revitalization programs, therefore we need fora solution which can be implementedin stages in smaller areas to introduce real and visible changes for users. The solution is the implementation of comprehensive activities involving the use of such elements as the retention basin, root boxes, vegetable passages, absorbent ditches, flow channels, retention rebates. The planned areas will use such plants as scythes, sieves, sedges, violets.

RESILIENCE OF NATURE IN THE CITY Our project focuses on the problem of birds in cities, mostly on having no control over birds in urbanized landscape. Today more and more animals come into cities looking for food and shelter - this problem also concerns birds. Long ago they lived freely in forests and fields, but nowadays they have to flee to the built-up areas. This is caused by fast urbanization, which takes away their natural homes (trees) and their natural food resource (fields). Climate change has a bad influence on plants, so eating is easier inside the cities. The list of bird species finding home between buildings is constantly getting larger. Right now pigeons, seagulls and crows are a big issue in cities around the world. Unfortunately sparrows, jackdaws, swallows and others are also being added to that list. The biggest problem with these flying animals is that we have a much higher disease spread. Besides, a lot of them set their nests in such ways and places, that has destructive influence on buildings. On the example of Warsaw (Poland) we are planning to make two parks inside the city, restricted only for birds - one which is connected to water, and the second which is surrounded by buildings. Both of them will have trees suited for nesting and for their diet. The parks will be a large complex with various conveniences made for our little allies.

PROJECT OF GREEN & BLUE INFRASTRUCTURE -
RECONSTRUCTION OF THE SILNICA VALLEY Nowadays major problems in cities include rivers’ flooding, flash floods and the lack of proper rainwater infiltration. On average circa 42% city centres’ area is built-up with impermeable paving. Therefore, the theme of the project is green and blue infrastructure reconstruction of the Silnica valley in Kielce, Poland. Silnica is a small, regulated river flowing through dense urban area. Partially it flows under the streets of the city center. During a heavy rain, flash floods occur. The aim of the project covers an increase of the river biodiversity by introducing diverse vegetation. Unfriendly surroundings and river banks will be adapted to the needs of users. Infiltration of water will be improved. Also, solutions such as: hervious paving, rain gardens and bioswales will be adopted. The planned development has new uses related to the location of the place and the potential visitor. Geometric shapes are designed in the city center, while in the further part of the city the river has an organic line and restored natural shape.

PHYTOREMEDIATION AS A RESPONSE TO THE PROBLEM OF AIR POLLUTION IN KIELCE Air pollution is a serious polish problem. In recent years, the quality of air in our country has dramatically decreased. The main cause of air pollution in Kielce is single-family houses. Slichowice are located between single-family housing, a track with industrial buildings and a geological reservation. our concept assumes land development cutTently unused, which was originally intended for road construction. In order to improve the quality of life people, we designed a surrounding park with connection the nature reservation. Storability plants creates a natural barrier for dusts and other pollutants. The phenomenon of phytoremediation used in the project significantly improves the quality of air. According to numerous studies conducted in this field in various scientific centers, park grass with an area of 1 ha absorbs an average of 8 kg CO2 per hour. One hundred mature trees removes up to 460 kg of pollutants per year, including 136 kg of suspended dust. In addition, the selection of plant species refers to the natural environment of this area. The greater amount of greenery in the spaces between the buildings, green roofs, walls will create a natural barrier for pollutants that will push residents on each side. The new public space will serve not only as an air filter, but also noise protection and above all it will enrich the housing estate with new recreational zones for people and animals.

Korea was famous for beautiful mountains and river in the world. I want to tell you about Gangbyeon, Dongseoul Terminal. It is right next to the Hanriver. Hanriver is the river in the middle of Seoul. Gangbyeon Station and Technomart are located around Dongseoul Terminal Station. Before the Dongseoul Terminal was opened in 1980, Gangbyeon Station was the place where only the Han River, the reeds and the cosmos field were located. It was small like a train station on a rural railroad track. In the late 1980s, Dongseoul Terminal, Technomart, and apartment complexes were formed, and this area was crowded with many people. The ecosystem would have been destroyed accordingly. Reeds purify water, prevent pests, and protect animals (mainly birds). It also absorbs airborne pollutants. The destruction of these ecosystems only makes cities more and more sick. To solve this problem, we turn the terminal into a park. The terminal is a public place that everyone can use. Ironically, however, these public facilities have fallen into facilities that they have not used the most. It has a very large site, but the number of visitors is small. The compartment is about 20% of the area and is mostly used as a parking facility. Nowadays, unmanned cars are coming out from Google, and future vehicles do not need many cars. Therefore, we will only accept 70% of the route, and we will use a wider area per car. A long distance will take by train, a short distance by bus. It would better for the nature.

REWEAVING OF THE SILKLAND
Reweaving of The Silk Land
--TASHKURGAN STONE CASTLE & ALAR GOLD GRASS WETLAND RESILIENT LANDSCAPE DESIGN
The location of the project is in Tashkurghan, Kashgar, Xinjiang, China. It belongs to the Pamir Plateau. It is high altitude, cold, arid and semi-arid climate. The specific site is the Stone Castle and the Alar gold grass wetland opposite the road. Stone Castle is an important transit station of the ancient Silk Road. Due to some of natural disasters such as wind damage and flood, it is gradually disappearing with only residual walls. Alar gold grass wetland is under the Stone Castle. Because of the Tashkurghan River, the water and grass are beautiful, and cattle and sheep are everywhere. This project solves the problem of the uneven distribution of water resources in the site by reweaving the water environment structure of the site, then, reweaving a protection forest in the way of natural succession through irrigated by the wetland. Finally, it will form a wetlandprotection forest- green wall ecological protection system to protect the ancient castle and delay the cracking and leakage of the ancient city. Our innovation point is putting forward a self-sufficient, resilient and gradual extension method. We integrate the concept of silk fully, through reweaving of water net, vegetation and green wall to form the silk land that can prevent wind, store water and adjust the temperature. Meanwhile, the ancient Silk Road and local culture are integrated into the design to continue the history and culture.
Green wall design Green wall is a form of urban vertiacl greening,with green plants covered on the surface.It is also called living wall.
—Tashkurgan Stone Castle & Alar gold grass wetland resilient landscape design
How we read it and how we use it Fully respecting the existing landscape and architecture of the site, and continue the culture; Using the existing water sources to reweave a rich and balanced water environment reasonably, and continue the natural succession process of vegetation to reweave the vegetation environment; Using the wall to protect the ancient city wall;build a sustainable landscape.

Located in the open space of the Tajik Town, Tajik Autonomous County, the G314 in the west is the main transportation route of TA county. The ancient city road passes through the middle of Stone City and Alar Kim grass beach, becoming an important traffic route.
Gobi on the northwest side
The vegetation coverage in the northwest of the stone city is low, mostly deserted.
The most serious damage area of the wall
The three rows of houses built on this side of the building are now eroded by wind, leaving only walls. The roof has been eroded, and the walls have split a large gap.
Concept of the wall
Referencing the Irrigation System of Wells Connected by Underground Channel, we bank the sufficient moisture of the flood season of the river to nourish the dry soil on the other side, which create the condition of living for woods and other plants, which help creating and promoting the Self-Circulation Micro-ecosystem. Shelter Forest has the motivated and directed function of Windproof, Protection and Soil-fixation ;underground Channel collects very little part of water from the bottomland that makes no negative effect on the original appearance of nature. Underground Channel remittance the ponding of floods season also.The Transpiration form growing woods contributes to partly increase the humidity and temperature of this micro-environment;
The main function of the wall is defense. We proposed the concept of wall protection by wall. Protect the ancient city wall by building an ecological green wall around it.

The establishment of a hanging wooden trestle in the shelterbelt makes the human space detached from the ground and the wetland, allowing people to go deep into it and provide the possibility of close range viewing without affecting the growth of animals and plants.
Some shrubs will be planted artificially. During the flood season, the snowmelt water is directed to the bottom of the stone city through the underground culverts excavated, and the pond is formed ,surface water exist.

THE BAY GUARDIAN The Jiaozhou Bay was originally an important wetland in China. It was affected by natural factors such as rising sea levels and sea reclamation. On one hand, this leads to the degradation of wetlands, therefore reducing urban ecological resilience.On the other hand, although the government is actively promoting the retum of farmland to the sea, a single rough land expropriation causes a large number of farmers lose their land to work in the city, living in poverty, causing urban problems. The project hopes to make a sustainable design for Jiaozhou Bay—to enhance ecological flexibility and solve economic and social problems. The recreation route was laid, the form of farmland changed from water square to the natural form of high level by layer by layer, and the new seawater crops were introduced to form a comprehensive wetland combining the artificial wetland with the farmland and the combination of tourism and agricultural production. The project innovatively uses the step farmland structure to connect the broken habitat to form different functional areas, meanwhile, the seawater agriculture is introduced to improve the economic benefits in the restoration of wetland. It can not only enhance the resistance and resilience of the wetland ecosystem, improve the urban resilience, but also improve the economic income of the farmers, slow down the speed of the peasants into the city and alleviate the urban problems.

Owing to its lowland, a major reason of flood in Khonkaen, Thailand. Although there are many manmade lakes in the city, the inundation problem still occurs. The site is located in city’s detention area. Near future development will be a big interchange station between cross country high-speed rail and local light rail train, right on the site where it will connect international and domestic people on the platform. Due to the future urbanization, Khonkaen population will reach up to 620,000 people in 20 years. This project integrated Blue & Green Infastructure to the Principle of Transit Oriented Development for the city under concept of Khonkaen Green Interchange. The 2 systems derived from flow of green space merging the site together makes green network connecting Public Park at different scales. Total green public space will provide up to 560,000 square meters for the future expansion referred to WHO Standard. Next, the blue system, according to the water management plan, new city’s detention area, city lake, bioswale, and dry-detention pond are implemented. In the process, Detention Pond receives water surface run off from the Bioswale and store in each pond. After that, it will send to the public drainage system. Besides, I design variety of spaces, a Green Infrastructure, which can conduct, and store water surface run off. Eventually, this project will be new prototype of sustainable developing city center to live with the nature.

Working as the ‘Brain’ of the system, the detention basin gathers data by reading the amount water the basin can hold. Sensors up stream in the Amite River and Comite Rivers activate the flood gates leading into the basin once water reaches a certain height. The height of the water within the basin sets off the alarm and signals are sent out to towers across the parish.

This project, spurred by the catastrophic flooding of August 2016, researches why Baton Rouge’s urban and suburban spaces have a distinctive look and feel largely because of the intertwining systems of infrastructure, land development, and the “laissez faire” culture as those flood waters receded. Research investigated impacts and the disaster economy of large infrastructural systems, and the proposal aims to connect existing lakes and levees with a weir system and reuse of vacant urban lots for filtration branded the blue network, as well as a green belt flood zone that houses a flood reservoir and an emergency beacon system retrofitted into towers to alert the public of future emergencies.

Water is the heart of Louisiana. Water is why Baton Rouge was founded. Water that moves, water that sits, water that rises, water that cleanses, and water that destroys. Canal water, ditch water, muddy water, spring water, crawfish water, dark water. The history of south Louisiana is a history of man learning to live with water and learning to shape water to our own means. This project, spurred by the catastrophic flooding of August 2016, researches why Baton Rouge’s urban and suburban spaces have a distinctive look and feel largely because of the intertwining systems of infrastructure, land development, and the “laissez faire” culture as those flood waters receded. Research investigated impacts and the disaster economy of large infrastructural systems, and the proposal aims to connect existing lakes and levees with a weir system and reuse of vacant urban lots for filtration branded the blue network, as well as a green belt flood zone that houses a flood reservoir and an emergency beacon system retrofitted into towers to alert the public of future emergencies. Also, the project proposes the flood visting route system for educate visitors how the landscape architecture reflects its property of “Resilience”, and help improve a better living conditon for human beings.

WATER COLLECTION KIT
-DONGYING CITY HAIQU PARK PLANNING AND DESIGN Globally, there are more than 100 countries and regions with varying degrees of water shortage. By 2050, there will be more than 5 billion water shortages worldwide. The problem of water shortage has become an important issue that hinders human development. China’s water shortages mainly include three major types: resource shortage, water quality shortage and engineering water shortage. Among them, resource shortage is the most typical. Its main characteristics are the lack of water sources and seasonal changes in rainfall. The design focuses on the “Y” cross section of rivers in natural watershed areas of resource-deficient areas (Rizhao City, Shandong Province, China), through the space model study of the “Y” shaped river intersection and the water flow rate. In the calculation of the dynamics, the “Lancet Island” device was designed to complete the water transfer guidance to the upstream rivers; the bionic water storage system was designed using the bionics theory, and the water reserve in the upper reaches of the river was completed; the treatment of the height difference and the application of special materials designed the Water Ring Bridge to meet the irrigation and science needs of urban parks. This design can be summarized as “the resilient design of urban parks for drought disasters” and strives to construct a universal water storage model suitable for urban “Y” shaped river intersection parks, providing a kind of resource-deficient cities with water storage model.

RELEASE THE URBAN ENERGY
-RENEWAL AND REFORM OF THE HIGH DENSITY CITY
Hong Kong is a prosperous place which occupies a significant position in the world economic system. With the development of urbanization and urban construction, the high-density state of city center gradually formed. The contradiction among urban construction, population and land arose distinctly in the high-density area of city center. Hong Kong implements reclamation projects to solve the shortage of land resource problem. However, the problem of marine resource and environment destruction has become more serious because of the adverse effects of reclamation projects. This projects adopted two main strategies: external expansion and internal restructuring. By building floating residential buildings on the sea, the excessively concentrated population in the city will be decentralized outwards. The subjective perception density will be reduced by setting up the air corridors that cross the high-rises of the city and the three-dimensional greening to increase the walking rate and green volume. The design of the Green Corridor combined with safety points enables the city center to connect with the sea area so that people can be quickly transferred under the condition of extreme disasters. Moreover, in order to promote urban residents to interact more comfortably, the design of safety point also coincides with the concept of the pocket park. We hope that Our proposal are committed to ease the negative impacts of high-density cities, activate the sustainable development of the city,and maintain the ability of city to respond to extreme changes flexibly.

Design 2: Using the concept of plasmolysis and aeration basin, simulate large vacuoles in the form of reservoirs, and plant plants that purify water, forming a core zone for percolation. With the passage of time, the concentration of water in the reservoir continues to decrease. After purification, it is absorbed by the river water, and the degree of pollution of the river water continues to decline, forming a circulatory system and purifying the water. Design 3: Based on the well-developed root structure of mangroves, combined with the local snake bridge culture. Bionic mangrove roots in the water set transparent pipes, can realize the life mode of zero-distance sensing aquatic organisms without installation.Transparent transparent detachable plaids can be installed on the stems of branches of red and air bridges. It provides shelter for small-sized flying animals and sets up an air hut with viewing and interactive experience. The three Context are intertwined with the mangroves to realize a multitrack habitat for underwater creatures, ground groups, and flying animals.

LANDUSE RECOMBINATION: LIVING WITH DIGNITY
The design base is located in Hong Kong, China. When referring to the resilience landscape, Hong Kong can easily be remembered. Human settlements of high density and urban land in short supply have led to Hong Kongâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s large-scale land reclamation in recent years. To a certain extent, this temporarily alleviated the problem of the shortage of land, but it also brought about problems such as the reduction of animal habitats, the frequent occurrence of typhoons and floods, and the deterioration of water quality. On the other hand, the excessively high density of living environment also made the quality of life of the residents poor. We believe that a new model of land use should be explored, integrated with the landscape, and integrated into Hong Kong. On the one hand, it solves the problem of shortage of land, provides people with a better living environment, and on the other hand uses land more efficiently, thus returning built-up urban area to sea to protect the ecological environment. Therefore, we proposed a hybrid land use model, which we call landuse recombination. Through the combination of small space units and landscapes, we integrate functions of different natures in one site and improve the space utilization efficiency. This hybrid land model is highly variable and can be replicated. We hope that this model can be applied to countries and regions where lack land as well.

VILLAGE FLOOD PREVENTION "1+X"
Shanbei Village, located in Yuncheng District, Yunfu City, Guangdong Province, China, is one of the types of villages in Guangdong Province. It is affected by floods. The village suffers three floods every year, with an average of one flood every two years.Based on the types of villages in the background of floods and disasters, the project uses ecology, sponge city, elastic landscape, rainwater management and utilization, historic building protection, tourism, hydrology and water conservancy and other discipline theories, combining village natural environment, historical culture and economic and social factors. It proposes ways to improve land use planning, improve drainage and water conservancy facilities, divert floods, establish rural wetland parks and rain gardens, increase fruit trees and vegetable plots in villages, and forest lands, relocate traditional villages, develop rural tourism, and other planning methods to improve flooding. In order to improve floods and protect the ecological environment, it will also increase the income of the villagers, protect the village’s traditional culture, and improve the quality of the living environment so that the villages can achieve the purpose of sustainable development and realize the unification of environmental, economic, and social benefits. , that is to achieve the “1+ X” effect.

WATERLOGGING CAN BE SOLVED
- BUILDING AN UPSTREM WATER ECOLOGICAL BALANCE SYSTEM
The objective of this project is to solve the urban waterlogging problem in wuhan, China. Wuhan is a city of thousands of lakes, with many lakes. However, due to the construction and development of the city, the lakes were landfilled and built into residential areas, which greatly weakened the water storage function of urban lakes. Insufficient water storage system capacity has caused Wuhanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;swaterlogging. To solve the problem of waterlogging in Wuhan, we must build enough water storage system. So, how can we use lakes to build am elastic water system under the condition of limited lake area? We first dredge lakes, connect large lakes and build a connected lake water storage system. That is to say, we build the lake group into a huge sponge to build a water ecological balance system for the city. Secondly, we set up a system of upstream dams for the lake, so that a lake can accommodate more water. The highest controlled water level of the lake is affected by the lower terrain surrounding area as the short-board effect. Therefore, dams are built in the lower-lying areas around lakes to increase the maximum control water level. At the same time, the strategy of making water flow higher allows the rainwater to drain smoothly into the lake. To sum up, we built a counterbalanced water ecological balance system to solve the contradiction between urban land use and limited lake area, so as to solve the waterlogging.

NEW FISHERMEN, NEW COAST:
A RESILIENT MODEL OF WASTE RECYCLING AND LOCAL ECO-SOCIO-ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT UNDER MARINE DEBRIS CRISIS Waste disposal is one of the significant issues for a balanced relationship between man and nature. This is particularly acute in Serangan, southeast of Bali, Indonesia, a tourist destination renowned for its seascape and a habitat for turtles. The wastes consist of marine debris drifting over with ocean currents has affected the tourist potential, residents’ living conditions, and turtles’ survival. To increase the stability of both the ecosystem and the society, a ‘waste collection complex’ is proposed based on a close study of ocean currents, habits of turtles, and local socioeconomic situations. It would be arranged linearly off the coastline to intercept marine debris. With this installation, an ‘Internet of Things’ (IoT) is proposed, where local scavengers would become the ‘New Fishermen’, the operator of the offshore installations ‘harvesting’ waste. The recyclable would become financial value exchangeable through the IoT. Tourists can also participate in, thereby obtaining a unique environmental, social and economic experience during their visits. Corresponding to the linear complex, the northeastern coast of Serangan, close to the residential area, is transformed into the ‘New Coast’, a streamlined dyke with protruding piers, providing an outlook of the offshore installations, as well as mangrove reserve on the thither. With this proposal of ‘New Fishermen’ and ‘New Coast’, it is intended to create a holistic and sustainable framework for environmental resilience, and thus an enhanced relationship and dialogue between man and nature.

RISING WITH THE WIND -
AN ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION OF QINGHAI LAKE DESERTIFICATION FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF RESILIENT LANDSCAPE Qinghai Lake lies on the Northeastern part of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, which is the largest saline lake in China, and plays a main role in holding ecological balance of this area. Because of its scenic landscape, tourism has become the pillar industry of Qinghai province. However, the increasingly serious problems of land desertification are destroying the environment and economy of this area. Qinghai lake is on the verge of disappearance. The whole district has three main trouble, plants community degradation, water level declination, and loss income of tourism. Facing these difficulties, we find out three major strategies, including restoring plants community, improving water level by enhancing wetlands, and protecting the infrastructure from being covered in sand. Firstly, we fix sands and form tiny terrains by making use of wind power, together with sand barriers made by eco-friendly material. And then, sand barriers decompose into fertilizer to change sands into vegetative soil. By growing plants in stages, we can restore its plants community. As to the declination of water level, we collect glacier water by terrains and build wetlands to conserve water. Besides this, along the main road in this area, Different patterns of sand barriers are designed to keep the road safe and can show the technology of desertification to tourists too. Piece by piece, the once artificial restoration process will change into a self-adaptive system. As a result, the social-ecological resilience of this district will be restored, and Qinghai lake will be able to continue its thousand-year history.

VARIABLE SANDBANK
The site is located at Minhou, Fujian, China. Many years ago, Landscape there used to consist of agricultural fields and riparian sandbanks. Affluent natural resource and diverse ecosystem existed. However, with the industrialization, the tragedy of the commons emerged, seen as the sand theft (illegal sand mining) and human-induced activities. Later on, urban sprawl worsened the situation resulting in a series of issues such as salinization and loss of habitats, and brought many unemployed people. An innovative concept will be used to deal with the issues. Variability is seen as the key to create resilience of the landscapes here. 3 different kinds of degradable ball-shaped devices are going to be introduced. They will function as clean-up, sand sedimentation and salt treatment. They will be variable in many different situation. After three phases of adjustment. the site is predicted to be purified, and a self-restored sandbank will be created. Preservation of broken forestry ecosystem and aquaculture environment are also designed to provide more resilience of the landscape. Meanwhile, job opportunities from the management of the variability devices will be created, and the site will become a place of interest providing more cultural functions for surrounding residents. Considering the contextual value and the availability of resilience, agriculture and aquaculture will be merged into the ecosystem, and sand mining will be prohibited.

01.INTRODUCTION
COMMUNIT Y INVOLVEMENT
CONTEXT AND APPROACH Rapid urbanisation and change in communities can lead to an unhealthy environment as well as social and economic instability. London’s district of Poplar with its rich and diverse immigration history provides the case study for this project as it explores the relationship between the three pillars of sustainability: environmental, social and economic. Based on rigorous research of the chosen site, Poplar Need(le)s proposes an innovative design approach to resilience of cities and their communities, by combining physical solutions from the fields of urban design and landscape architecture with the theoretical principals of urban acupuncture. It provide a new vision for Poplar where local communities are engaged in small scale interventions through collaborative processes, In order to realise this vision, a three phase plan is devised and executed by the Poplar Need(le)s team within a 10 year period: 1. Poplar Needs – an analysis of the site in order to find urban ‘stress points’ for potential intervention and the introduction of the Acubox – a conceptual exploration of modular installations, designed to be stacked on top of one another using the simplest of structures. 2. Poplar Wants – Community Involvement and Bottom-up Approach. This phase incorporates receiving feedback from the community about the Acubox prototype and adapting it accordingly. 3. Poplar Owns – once established, the project is handed over to the community. The process can be flexible and will up to the community to decide how to organise themselves to bring about new Acubox interventions.

BLUE RIVER EMBANKMENT
-ECOLOGICAL MANAGEMENT OF RIVERBANK
The Tuojiang River is one of the important tributaries of the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, and its main tributaries cross the city of Ziyang. Ziyang heavy rainfall concentrated in two months in July. The floods on the Tuojiang River are frequent and have a dry period of ten months. During the dry season, a large number of floodplains are exposed and the appearance is very poor, seriously affecting the city appearance. The ecological carrying capacity of these river floodplains is insufficient,serious soil erosion, serious pollution, and lack of flexibility to deal with floods, and cannot provide a good living environment for animals and plants. Based on the analysis of the problems in the riverbank, this design filters the pollution runoff by building an ecological approach to the terraced dams and avoids the direct inflow of surface sewage into the Tuojiang River. At the same time, the retreating riverbank can also increase the flood discharge area. Create artificial wetland bubbles, clean up river water during dry season, provide habitat for organisms.During the flood period, the roots of plants are able to consolidate soil to avoid soil erosion. By constructing river floodplain inland rivers and ecological islands to consolidate embankments and create biological habitats, we can create resilient landscapes to maximally control river water pollution, improve soil erosion, resist floods, and create biological habitats.

THE CHARM OF ORIENTAL SEA
-YANTAI COASTAL BUFFER PARK AND ITS MARINE MUSEUM DESIGN
Water splashes on the coast, causing seawater damage, and is more likely to cause floods. We use the buffer zone to disperse the seawater and retain the water while allowing the park to absorb water and serve the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s green space. We hope that by designing the coastal buffer zone as an example, the relationship between the city and the sea will be more harmoniously demonstrated. In the past, dams were used to block seawater, and now the sea is outstretched to accommodate the sea, which reflects the concept of sustainable development and the concept of harmonious ecology. At the same time, a marine museum was designed. The three spherical bodies also symbolized three fishes. The glass remembrance hall that crosses into the ocean can make people go deeper into the ocean, go deeper into the glass, and feel the fish, thus creating respect for nature. The overpass of the circuit, looking towards the park and three spheres of buildings, like a field mountain, will make people think about the future life.

(p. xv). Hence, Sri Lanka has a long history of human habitation in the river valleys There should be special reasons for civilizations to emerge near the rivers. Sri Lanka has radial river system. Kelani Rive is an important river in sri lanka within those rivers. We can identify the Kelani River as Service River. Rivers are complex natural systems, which responsible for the natural balance or equilibrium by water discharging, and sediments depositing. So that river valley human activities is directly affected to the natural equilibrium. Kelani valley industrialization is main cause for the collapse the social and natural balance. because of that biyagama area become flooding in the rainy season.

The green stitch: connecting the urban fabric, thus creating resilient sociable spaces for fauna and humans The program thus focuses on re-looking the rail corridor as an inclusive public space by recapturing the sense of place of the setting and retaining the sense of ownership. The proposal devises a strategy to make the defunct and inaccessible rail corridor, accessible, memorable and a place to reconnect to the community’s sense of a place (which is confined to the territories or the boundaries of the built form). The corridor thus acts a stitch weaving the community with corridor by developing it as an inclusive public space. The stitch along the corridor hence acts as a catalyst in developing the edges of the immediate built form, besides providing a relief and a respite by enhancing the pedestrian connect across the corridor.
The city of Ahmedabad in the broader context is identified (across the history and current scenarios) by the multi-cultural facet of its built form and the distant and peculiar identity of the walled city, the chimneys seen distant in the background – the industries and the green edges of the city’s channeled waters, the public transit model of BRTS and the bustling roads full of private vehicles, the sparse and green developments of the West and the compact street patterns of the East, the soft nature of the edges of the historic architecture and the sharp, defined and delineated, modernist or contemporary edges and architecture, the open and colorful markets of the city and the delineated recreation centers, its informal keetlis (tea-joints) or food joints of manek-chowk (a street food joint located in the old city of Ahmedabad) and the formalized public spaces and Knowledge corridors of the West. Each of these identities is bounded within a notional or a physical territory of the city. The city developed on a centralized radial model of development attains its multi-faceted identity by the functional or cultural variations of different nodes (for example puras or villages).
Existing scenario along the transect AA- the site accounting to the sense of lack of ownership amongs the community (owned by the Western Railway), acts as a waste dumping ground, thus creating a notion of barrier associated with corridor. This happens across the city along all its rail corridor
The city of Ahmedabad in the broader context is identified by the multi-cultural facet of its built form and the distant and peculiar identity of the walled city, the chimneys seen distant in the background – the industries and the city’s channeled waters, the public transit model of BRTS and the bustling roads, the sparse and green developments of the West and the compact street patterns of the East. The city developed on a centralized radial model of development attains its multi-faceted identity by the functional or cultural variations of different nodes. The city grown over a period of time, have undergone the expansive pressures of the booming urbanization. This seems to have ingrained in its fabric either by means of edges, boundaries or corridors. The program focuses on relooking the rail corridor as an inclusive public space by recapturing the sense of place of the setting and retaining the sense of ownership. The proposal devises a strategy to make the defunct and inaccessible rail corridor, accessible, memorable and a place to reconnect to the community’s sense of a place (which is confined to the territories or the boundaries of the built form).

ii. Concept the in-between spaces within the larger context have developed making their way to the idea of an “Urban city”. The booming in-betweens have not only cleared the grounds for the development of the “new” identity of the city, but also in the process suppressed the identity of the nodes. This has further led to the shifting of the nodes from the puras to the in-betweens. Such shifts appear to be happening across the city, which in turn results in the generation of cracks. These cracks are not only the resultant of time or cultural variations in the built form, but these are also the result of major infrastructure proposals or additions within the built fabric; certain examples of such cracks are the ones created by transport corridors (like railways, BRTS corridors or bridges) or any natural or built element. Moreover, in cases such as the railway corridor, the land along the line lay defunct, thus becoming a collector of waste, generator of interrupted connections between the two sides of the corridor and prone to encroachment. Besides this, the factor of time also adds to the low utilization of the corridor, as the development along the corridors catches its pace, the community or the residents living along it starts adjusting to the disjuncture that results from the corridor like noise, smell, accessibility and the sense of place.

BREAK DENGUE= CONTROL MOSQUITOES LANDSCAPE PLANNING OF MOSQUITO PREVENTION UNDER DISEASE ECOLOGY
Based on the concept of disease ecology, the project will be ecologically restored to the Gua Pamona watershed in Sulaweisi, Indonesia. Under the threat of dengue fever, the society and economy of the place of origin have been hit hard. The basic reason is that the ecological imbalance within the site, the pollution is serious, and the rainwater cannot be expelled quickly. As a result, Aedes aegypti mosquitoes, which are the only carriers of the epidemic, continue to abuse. The design mainly starts with the treatment of water pollution and mosquito repellent plants, thus restoring the complete ecological chain. Reduce the abuse of mosquitoes while restoring the siteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ecological balance, and further improve the residentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; quality of life and economic income, to achieve a harmonious urban social relations repair and ecological restoration of the scene.

REHEARSALS OF INFINITE BOUNDARIES LIVING WITH WATER
This proposal questions the concept of a boundary and considers water as a maker and organizer of space and dynamic processes in an adaptive city. It explores new negotiations between land and water, what living with water means, and how unpredictable water processes can generate a resilient urbanism. The project site is in South Boston. The city is familiar with the transitions between urban and water and must further consider this relationship as the sea level rises and storms increase flooding. The proposal is a resilient, soft infrastructure landform prototype with flexible, ever changing edges that engage with the push and pull of water and the urban fabric. The prototype is broken into four conditions that each prioritize different processes and negotiations with water. 1.Elevate land close to existing urban fabric to act as a soft infrastructural buffer 2.Elongate the shoreline to create a series of peninsulas 3.Create pools of storage for excess water and filtration 4.Integrate prototype into existing urban fabric. 6 key water verbs, in which two are highlighted here, frame our exploration. Each verb relates to particular ephemeral qualities and processes of water that correspond to the materiality, spatial form, and performance of the six specific project scenarios, which continually challenge boundaries. The scenarios suggest an order of saturation in program and development but not a specific order in which the performances occur. Ultimately the project describes a formal outcome where verb scenarios define adaptive urban and natural functions in a resilient city.

Regional Microecology
Located southwest side of Quzhou City, Zhejiang Province. Due to the industrial pollution, the area is in need of rectification.The core concept of project is the composite microecological landscape, a flexible multidimensional restoration of wetland industrial pollution. Our philosophy of innovation lies in the fact that “complex” and “elasticity” are different from “single” and “direct” in the past. Our strategy can better solve the fundamental problems. “Composite microecology” is required to create a microecological environment. Through planting plants, microorganisms, making the water become more clearer and dredging the river; Try to integrate the disordered farmland, plant new crops; Rational planting of arbors, shrubs, and herbaceous plants; Planning reasonable traffic route to make each area more accessible; Reasonable development of embankment landscape. And then the water, the farmland, the forest land, the space, the embankment ecosystem all will have resilience. In the local selective setting of landscape factors, the landscape factors interact with each other to restore the elasticity of water, farmland, woodland, space, and embankments. After a period of time, local patches are repaired to form an elastic micro-ecological landscape. Then, we divided the land into three areas which include infiltration area, riverbed restoration area, pollution control area. Finally, each area interacts with each other to achieve a composite effect and then form a complex micro-ecological landscape. This area is flexible and can reduce pollution and resist pollution.

GREEN IS COMING
The group selection site is located in Mizhi County, Shaanxi Province, China. It belongs to the typical landform of the Loess Plateau. Because of the unrestrained development of its original farming, it is currently facing serious problems of soil erosion and drought. We believe that green is the future pursuit of the development of the region. Design concept -- We believe that how to use rainwater flexibly and create adaptive sites is the key to solving the problem of drought and soil erosion in the area.The group started with agricultural production landscapes, endowed the land with functionalities, intertwined the land types of terrace landscapes, water collection systems, rain gardens, and cave activity sites. The ultimate goal was to consolidate land, restore vegetation, and adapt to high temperatures,and flexible use of rainwater during drought and flood seasons. 1.Terraced landscape and cave activity site measures. Land cultivation is divided into three types: characteristic crops, drought-resistant crops, and soil-retaining vegetation. By arranging rainwater pools and nutritious retaining walls, we can use elastic rainwater to irrigate crops.We use the dwellings with local characteristics - cave dwellings, and by virtue of their resistance to high temperature characteristics, we will create adaptive sites with incidental benefits. 2.Rain garden and collection measures Drawing on facilities such as the Karez Well and the Rain Garden in Xinjiang, reservoirs are built underground, and crops and vegetation are conserved in stages in different regions.

HUALAMPHONG TIMELINE
Most global problems take its root from rapid urbanisation. According to the above factor, We are interested in the development of abandoned site in the city center to correspond and adapt with urbanisation. From our study, we found Hualamphong railway station, the formerly first main station of Bangkok. Now, the railway of Thailand has a policy to develop the railway system of Thailand to be new national rail transport hub at Bangsue grand station. Hualamphong Railway Station was downgraded to meet the need of the inner Bangkok. The plan caused Hualamphong Railway Station to become an abandoned industrial site in the city center facing several problems. – density population crisis, lack of green space and changing population age structure. The main objective of our project is to develop an abandoned industrial site into a vibrant destination as a Bangkok development plan, walkable city that correspond to the need of the inner Bangkok. The second objective is to connect community between the new- old city and encourage people to connect with aging society and understand the value of them. The last objective is to promote healthy lifestyle. According to Bangkok going to be an aging society and the elderly are abandoned to be more alone. It leads to the concept of this project, connecting people relationship to become family. The site is divided into 6 node to serve the community surrounding that each node have activities for each age. Urban farming activity is main activity connecting each age together.

In 1946, Most ofHualamphong Railway Station was surrounded by canel and road. Most people go to another place by train and boat. So, the area is a landmark of Bangkok.

URBAN HAVENS FOR FISH
-A RESILIENT DESIGN FOR THE ECOLOGICAL RESTORATION OF PEARL RIVER DELTAILS WATERBODY
Fish in the Pearl River Valley is under great threat and our design is dedicated to solving this dilemma. As one of Chinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s major core economic zones, the Pearl River Delta has changed the water network system of the original city with the process of urbanization, leading the disappearance of a large number of riparian areas such as ponds and shallows. The elasticity of the water ecosystem has been greatly weakened. There-fore fishes are difficult to multiply when the floods come, so the species and number are falling sharply, which in turn seriously affects the urban ecological diversity. The purpose of this design is to use urban abandonment sites (such as quarry pits, etc.) and blue and green line area in China Urban Planning System (such as city parks, viaduct area, watercourse, etc.) to transform into riparian areas such as reservoirs and shoals, making flooding a condition conducive to fish reproduction. As the pre-urbanized ecological process has been restored, the species and number of fish will markedly increase. Through all these methods, we put forward our feasible design strategies for improving ecological flexibility and fish biodiversity in the Pearl River Delta.

TRANSFORMER
--DISASTER PREVENTION INFRASTRUCTURE FOR HISTORICAL URBAN TOURIST AREA
“1+1+1>3” attempts to employ small and implementable modules in public spaces of the old Cartagena city to mitigate the three key plagues there: frequent flood, unmanaged garbage and extensive sun exposure. Cartagena city is located on the northern coast of Colombia in the Caribbean Coast Region. Its starting point is a major port founded by Spanish as a colony in 1533. Now in this historical and cultural center in Cartagena, high-density development aggravates urban disasters. With concentrated precipitation and extensive impervious surface, urban flood happens frequently. With deficient shades and trash bins, small venders, tourists and local people crowd on certain areas under limited shades thus producing wastes and pollutions much over the capacity of existing infrastructure. Besides, the solutions for all problems in Cartagena City can only be small alterations due to the density of the city. By implementing perforated local “1+1+1” infrastructure strategies thus mitigating all three problems locally, the influences of these solutions can be aggregated to holistically enhance the overall resilience and sustainability of the city.

FROM TRANSFORMATION TO EVOLUTION: SALTY AGRICULTURAL LANDSCAPE IN THE PEARL RIVER DELTA
In this design, the sea level rising situation is predicted and analyzed, and agriculture is selected as the breakthrough point of the design. The concept of salt marsh agriculture is put forward, and the new agricultural town which is based on the coastal wetland is gradually formed to adapt to the new sea level rising environment. Sea level rise will have a subversive effect on the traditional agricultural economy. The wetland has a strong adaptability in the rising sea level, and the coastal wetland will provide an opportunity to enhance the adaptability of agriculture to the impact of sea level rise. The problem to be solved: Changing the traditional agricultural mode to enhance the adaptability of coastal agricultural land to the new sea level rise. Main features and innovation: Drawing on the traditional concept of land cultivation using natural function, the new transformation model for the local agricultural dev des new value and land for agricultural production, and the agricultural model is re incorporated into the process of natural evolution.

RAINWATER NEW HOME
WUHAN RAINSTORM MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
In the face of frequent and extremely severe weather, many cities are suffering from increasingly heavy rain.The outdated urban drainage system was unable to withstand the test of heavy rain. It was the main cause of water logging and water accumulation in the city. Solve the problem: In Wuhan, there was heavy rainfall, low altitude and obsolete drainage systems, and a large number of lakes were buried due to the rapid expansion of the city. The ability to absorb water is greatly reduced, which greatly deteriorates the internal hazards of Wuhan. Innovation point: To this end, we propose an innovative dual strategy. Rainstorm Homes plans to combine urban water storage with the improvement of the quality of urban public space and connect it with urban roads, streams, and drainage systems through road diversion, infiltration, and stagnant water spaces. Effective water storage to relieve the pressure caused by heavy rain to the city, so that rainstorms find their new home.

PATCHING NETWORK
The land parcel is located in the southeast of Sanduâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ao Harbor in Xiapu County, Ningde City, Fujian Province. Since the fishing raft breeding began in the 1980s, it has been the pillar industry of Xiapu County. Meanwhile, the region, from time to time, bears the sufferings from typhoon heavily. In face of unknown natural risks, how to construct a flexible combination of material system and human community so that local residents can quickly respond to disasters and disaster discovery is the starting point for this design. This design is based on the knitting of five lines with red lifeline, orange living line, blue production line, yellow protection line and green landscape line, which are applied before, during and after a disaster. Those lines activate different functions at different times to form a tough network to deal with the impact of typhoon. At the same time, it solves a series of problems such as the underdevelopment of local infrastructure, serious pollution of aquaculture water and a lack of communication between children and parents working at sea.

Project Plan
The Inglewood Brewery is a historical site and played an essential role in creating Inglewood’s identity for over 100 years. As industry remains and large mobility infrastructure such as the Canadian Pacific Railway form gaps in the urban fabric, the “Brewery Flats” project provides a cultural connection to our industrial history, while enhancing biodiversity to create a healthy, stable cultural hub. To reveal the potential of an abandoned, post industrial landscape the “Brewery Flats” project establishes a variety of common spaces where the public can engage in a vibrant, historical, social setting.

As industry remains and large mobility infrastructure such as the Canadian Pacific Railway form gaps in the urban fabric, the “Brewery Flats” project provides a cultural connection to our industrial history, while enhancing biodiversity to create a healthy, stable cultural hub. To reveal the potential of an abandoned, post industrial landscape the “Brewery Flats” project establishes a variety of common spaces where the public can engage in a vibrant, historical, social setting. The common spaces consist of two plazas, a naturalized courtyard, an urban grove and an elevated walkway. Most of the abandoned buildings on site are to be demolished, as they are unsafe and decrepit. To commemorate this history, the row plantings are enhancing the area with native, sustainable vegetation. Lastly, the path system along the railway provides a connective green corridor that engages with the industrious nature of this landscape. “Brewery Flats” is reestablishing the heart of Inglewood, through composing a collective of spaces to enrich the resiliency between people, public spaces and living material.

Taiwan, a beautiful whirling island, has created various coastal landscapes by its unique location. However, with the climate changing and overexploitation, the ocean area in Taiwan disappearing each year is estimated 100 hectares. Coastal retreat has not only caused land loss, which deprive the coastal protection, but also threatened the people and the species lived in intertidal zone. To face with the problem, we often use the embankments or wave blocks which is the most passive way of solution. Moreover, this is just another way to destroy the environment, and the protection is inefficient. The proportion of the artificial coast in Taiwan has reached to 55%, which is the highest in the world and turns Formosa into FORTmosa. MAIN FEATURES: We take QIGU liman-coast, our natural protection, as an advantage, where it used to have a complete and natural shoal protection. We found the causes of retreating coast from upstream to seacoast, and propose the corresponding solutions to slow it down step by step. Our goal is to create an eco-based coastal buffer zone, a comprehensive protecting design shaped by time and its natural mechanism, which is based on its existing landscape texture. What follows up is the ecologic value from precious migratory birds and the species along the seashore. When we succeed to slow down the rate of coastline retreat and brings back the protecting mechanism, at the same time, the lives can thrive on this mother land once again and continuously.

THE CYCLE OF FLOOD
-RELIEVE FLOOD DISASTERS AND SUPPLY GROUNDWATER THROUGH GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE COLLECTING RAINWATER IN BANGKOK The solution was selected to be located in Bangkok, Thailand. The excessive use of groundwater led to serious land subsidence, the altitude of some areas was even lower than sea level, and it was plagued by floods. In the plan, integrate flood control and flood risk reduction into urban greening network system, guided by Stormwater Management, the roof garden, fragmented green space, and streets will be built into a natural ecological Green Infrastructure framework. Utilize the function of water retention purification and seepage of urban green land to supply groundwater through rainwater natural infiltration and purified rainwater reuse and so on, to achieve the effect of promoting the stormwater recycling and the rebound of subsidence ground. A unique plant cultivation facility was designed for the Bangkok slums, and rainwater was collected and used in conjunction with its common slope roof construction.With this kind of macro planning and design method, the resilient landscape of Bangkok will be realized and a better living environment will be achieved.

GREEN RIBBON ON DESERT
-PREVENTION AND CONTROL OF DESERTIFICATION AROUND THE DANG RIVER
The program starts with current water problems and selects Dunhuang City, a historic city in northwestern China, as a target. It considers the phenomenon of typical desertification on the edge of the city and begins to create a flexible desert landscape. As a tourist city, Dunhuang City closely links resources, environment, and society development and presents the contradictions of human survival and development in the context of a fragile ecological environment. The site of the project is located on the banks of the river near the outskirts of Dunhuang City. The dry season is near to a depleted state, the site is flat, the soil is poor, and the surrounding areas are farmland, cities and deserts. There is an extreme imbalance between water supply and utilization. The design integrates ecological restoration and urban landscape planning. Site treatment fully respects nature itself. The restoration of vegetation is used as the main line to achieve the protection, concentration, and recycling of water in a water-deficient environment. The plan also tapped Dunhuang City’s renewable energy (wind energy resources, light and heat resources) to transform its negative effects brought by urbanization to provide economic benefits. In addition, Dunhuang Culture was introduced in the program and responded to the “Belt and Road” proposed in the 21st century.

REMODELING-RENOVATION OF E-WASTE DUMP Over the past few years, the volume of global E-waste has risen alarmingly. Agbogbloshie is the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second-largest electronic dump, where children and adults sort out valuable parts in exchange for money. Last year, however, unreasonable recycling technology caused water and soil contamination, while low recovery exacerbated the problem of economic backwardness. Although the Ghanaian government has taken a series of measures to try to solve the problem, these measures are opposed because they are too tough. We will use the site as an example to explore a resilient solution strategy to repair the contaminated environment, and increase the resistance of the landscape to adverse factors by changing the way the local people interact with nature.

TRANSITIONS
URBAN. RURAL. NATURAL
Long Valley is one of the few pieces of land which remains most of its natural appearance in a well-developed city like Hong Kong. Unfortunately, the high ecological valued wetlands are now disappearing due to lack of groundwater supply brought by the channelization work of its surrounding rivers (Sheung Yue River, Shek Sheung River and Ng Tung River). In addition, the government is planning to develop its surrounding area (Kwu Tong North New Town), this may result in a further loss on the precious natural and cultural assets. Therefore, my design concept is to naturalize the rivers in Long Valley and transform Long Valley into an excellent transition of urban, rural and natural area which makes good use of water as well as enhancing the wildlife habitats. In my design, I would like to divide Long Valley into several islands based on their landscape sensitivity and allow river water to pass through them. With the naturalization of rivers, the absorption, infiltration and purification of rainwater is facilitated, recharging the groundwater supply and thus promoting the local agricultural practice. The enlargement of river sections, creation of retention ponds and design of natural slopes increases the storage of rainwater during heavy rainstorm, alleviating the flooding issue. A variety of programs including Long Valley Nature Park, Eco-tourism, Modern Farm and Traditional Farm, Eco-village and Riverfront Parks are proposed, fulfilling the needs and aspirations of the present and future generations.

The core of history, art and culture takes advantage of the industrial heritage of the past to be rediscovered as a cultural and artistic space. The design will establish a historical space to promote the use and restoration of modern industrialization to support the local economy and local artists. Furthermore, the center will serve as a cultural and artistic space for the region.
A natural seawall will be constructed along with the restoration of mudflats to cope with rising sea levels caused by massive coastal development. The coastal areas of nature will be restored to a state as seen before development projects consumed the area. A co-existence between human beings and the natural ecosystem will be created.
The old shipyards will be transformed into an experiential space. The building uses materials that can be obtained from shipyard waste and embodies the design of a traditional shipyard, making it a cultural space where visitors can have fun. Furthermore, by creating water-friendly spaces such as a waterfront, it is expected that the space will be revitalized as a maritime leisure sports hub along the west coast.

We remember the story of the shipyard being born and present and rediscover new values by analogy with the process. The days of forcing only natural sacrifice are gone. We understand nature and pursue a harmonious life. This project is also one that holds potential to be a solution for responding to climate change and restoring mudflats where ecosystems can then recover. As the demand for ships declined, the deindustrialization of shipbuilding was carried out, and the once booming shipbuilding industry was waning. As a result, the area where the shipyard was located was hit by the deteriorating economy and environmental problems. Because the sea level rises gradually with climate change, there was an increase in coastal development, causing environmental problems. As reclaimed land is a vulnerable environment to climate change, focusing its re-design should be based on productive conservation. We envision a future where we can restore our harmony with nature, which has been damaged by reckless development due to urbanization, and the negative impacts of human existence. Our goal is to create a floating space in time for rising sea levels and changing environmental issues of reclaimed land. The restored mudflats will bring back the ecological cycles that once existed, as we seek to find ways for humans to utilize resources without harming nature. While proposing the restoration technology, the resulting timeline is also shown. It will create a space with great potential to adapt flexibly to changing situations and environments.

ADAPTIVE ECOLOGICAL EMBANKMENT -BUILD A SUSTAINABLE, PRODUCTIVE AND DYNAMIC GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE FOR LEIZHOU PENINSULA.
The program starts with current water problems and selects Dunhuang City, a historic city in northwestern China, as a target. It considers the phenomenon of typical desertification on the edge of the city and begins to create a flexible desert landscape. As a tourist city, Dunhuang City closely links resources, environment, and society development and presents the contradictions of human survival and development in the context of a fragile ecological environment. The site of the project is located on the banks of the river near the outskirts of Dunhuang City. The dry season is near to a depleted state, the site is flat, the soil is poor, and the surrounding areas are farmland, cities and deserts. There is an extreme imbalance between water supply and utilization. The design integrates ecological restoration and urban landscape planning. Site treatment fully respects nature itself. The restoration of vegetation is used as the main line to achieve the protection, concentration, and recycling of water in a water-deficient environment. The plan also tapped Dunhuang City’s renewable energy (wind energy resources, light and heat resources) to transform its negative effects brought by urbanization to provide economic benefits. In addition, Dunhuang Culture was introduced in the program and responded to the “Belt and Road” proposed in the 21st century.

THE BREATHING WALL The emperors from the Han Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty built over 300 kilometers of the Great Wall, which is a precious cultural relic. Current Problems: The burning of the Great Wall in Datong for hundreds of years led to ecological deterioration, serious soil erosion, and exacerbated the erosion of the Great Wall by wind and sand.The Great Wall was destroyed seriously due to weak protection. Because of agriculture and animal husbandry in the recession, the living standards of the residents around the Great Wall decreased, and the population was seriously drained. The Great Wall was increasingly separated from peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lives and gradually forgotten and neglected. The protection of the Great Wall is a matter of no delay. Key features and innovations: Giving the Great Wall a New Identity and New Value in Response to Contemporary Society. 1.Analyze and classify the Great Wall by high technology.Make full use of coal mining waste to renovate gullies around the Great Wall. 2.Reconstruct the ecosystem around the Great Wall by soil and water conservation and plant restoration strategies, form landscapes, create benefits, and increase community attention to the Great Wall. 3.Without relying entirely on the government, adopting personal responsibility to protect the Great Wall and gaining privilege, to obtain economic benefits and return it to the Great Wall Protection.

RETURN TO XANADU The plot selected for this design is Zhouqu county in Gansu, China. Debris flow in this area is a serious disaster and is a frequent occurrence area of mudslides in China. Our goal is to repair the area after the disaster and to prevent and control the debris flow disaster. According to previous research, this area belongs to the alpine valley. This is one of the main reasons why the area is often disturbed by mudslides. Therefore, we focused on the reconstruction of the mountain to complete the management and prevention of debris flows. The main measures are divided into two phases. One is the emergency prevention measures for the sudden mudslide disaster, and the other is the gradual establishment of buffer zone to prevent mudslides and the other measure to realize the long-term treatment of mudslides. Our design strictly adheres to our understanding of the elastic landscape, and it can be resisted when the natural disaster arrives and can be done better than before. Therefore, our design can achieve the dual purpose of managing mudslide problems and improving the local natural landscape. After the improvement, it also brought new developments to the economy of the local economy. As the title says, Return to Xanadu,it is a beautiful landscape and new economic development provide local residents with life experiences in a fairyland.

REDEMPTION OF SHRINKING CITY
:URBAN RESILIENCE BASED ON THREE-DIMENSIONAL GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE
Many cities in China face the challenge that urban expansion and shrinkage coexist, which also have threats of population loss, vacant properties emergence, along with inadequate urban infrastructure. Ordos, located in southwest of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region of China, is a typical case, that economic growth suffered from prosperity to decline owing to single economic source of coal mine. It has experienced severe city shrinkage, and also faces serious sandstorm and dust, and water resource problems with declining groundwater level. The design creates the three-dimensional(3D) Green Infrastructure(GI) to help city return to sustainable development track, meanwhile realize ecological and social resilience. The construction of 3D GI with a system of corehub-link is relying on identifying available vacant properties and existing green space to propose grading principles and strategies. The core formed by public green space has three grades: protection, buffer, and potential zone, which is determined by ecological assessment. The hub based on vacant high-rise, vacant land in shanty towns, and community green space, has three categories: vertical, surficial and island, which is determined by service radius of core and vacant properties potentiality. The link system combined with river, vertical greening, greenway, and temporary structures, consists of three ways: river, vertical and surficial, which is determined by ecological analysis and ENVImet simulation study on street types. Taking Dongsheng District in Ordos as an example, the 3D GI system construction combined with local conditions is proposed to achieve resilience relationship between society and nature in this region.

ELASTIC VILLAGE
-MODULARIZED RURAL ECOLOGICAL INFRASTRUCTURE RECONSTRUCTION
The theme of this design is “RESILIENT LANDSCAPE”, Resilient is defined as “the ability of ecosystems to endure disruptions without crashing,” and is the ability of humans and ecosystems to be empowered to self-recover and adapt to the future. By combining the ability to endure intrusions, inconspicuous but meaningful changes, that is to say, through the optimization and upgrading of rural ecological infrastructure, the current mode of extensive management of agriculture that relies on resource consumption will be transformed into ecological composite three-dimensional agriculture, creating a development model of production, life, and ecology. After GIS analysis of the nature of the current site and ecological sensitivity, the site is divided into areas for development and utilization and ecological protection. And The developable areas will be re-planned into farmland, forest land, water bodies, and communities. At the same time, space accessibility is calculated based on space syntax, and starting from the flexible countryside, ecological cycle planning is conducted for rural industries to find the driving force for sustainable development. On the basis of previous analysis, guided by production, life, ecology and landscape, for land of different nature and accessibility, we will optimize and upgrade the infrastructure, improve the quality of rural life, and improve the rural ecological environment. The difference between urban and rural income and quality of life is the main factor that determines the migration of rural labor force, therefore, in the design, we will increase the number of blue-green infrastructures such as production and living infrastructure and ecology and landscape.

City.Lab aims to transform the current plot of greenfield into a biomass and waste research facility as part of Medini master plan. The site is situated in Johor and is surrounded by key features such as Educity, Legoland and Pinewood Iskandar Malaysia. The research facility is a small scale township that operates with the components of commercial lots, residential for both researchers and public with well connected blue and green spaces. Malaysia generates 33,000 tonnes of solid waste daily with majority of it from household and mostly treated through non-sanitary landfill. As Johor’s population is projected to grow from current 3.65 million to 5 million across 15 years, the immense amount of waste could be the precious resource for the research facility. The ambition of City.Lab is to reduce carbon emission (Malaysia LowCarbon City Framework) through the provision of interconnected public transport system and curating environmental conditions which encourages walking, cycling and prolong dwelling in exterior spaces.

THE DESIGN OF RIVER RESILIENT LANDSCAPE IN URBAN FRINGE AREA The design of river resilient landscape in urban fringe area: As a typical developing country, China inevitably faces the challenge of the erosion of the natural ecological environment by urban expansion. The urban fringe area where nature and cities collide with one another is the most profound manifestation of this contradiction. The Shahe River is an important river that flows from the natural mountainous area of northwestern Beijing into the city and flows mainly through the urban edge of Beijing. The complex nature of the land around the river, the complex social structure, and the expansion of the city, together with the discharge of sewage, threaten the health of the river. We designed to first ensure that the riverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most basic ecological bottom line, and then gradually extend the river as the main thread of the green context, and eventually grow into a greenway system of the entire region. We hope that the beautiful natural river environment will no longer be a victim of urban development, but an organic open space for common development and integration with the city.market can be reborn and become a place for people to exchange and communicate with each other, and can effectively carry on the memory of the city.

FANTASY OF GREENWAVE
DESIGN FLOOD BY RESHAPE THE EARTH
The project is located in Huyanghe City, Xinjiang, China. Due to nature and human factors, salinizaÂtion is the most prominent problem, which leads to a series of ecological and environmental problems such as the decline of agricultural production and the destruction of precious Populus euphratica forest. This program, through the replanning of the local water system, makes full use of the seasonal flood caused by melting water in summer, washes the surface, and deals with the problem of salinizaÂtion. The district is divided into four parts: farmland, wetland, Populus euphratica forest and construction area,meanwhile,there are four strategies. strategy!: in the farmland area, dissolving and removing saline and alkaline with water and plants. Based on the analysis of the catchment, rainfall, and surface runoff, combined with the texture of the current farmland ,concept from the folding of the desert dunes, the surface texture of the farmland is recreated. The foldings guide water flow, wash saline and alkaline. Strategy2: in the wetland area, after salt washing, the run off will be discharged into the wetland to be purified to save fresh water resources. Strategy3: in the populus euphratica forest area ,redesigning the surface and terrain,leading the flood from up stream to sweep the salt water in summer. Strategy4: After the ecological restoration of the site, the base resists better the interference and destruction caused by urban development and human activities. Different crops are planted in a group. Each group has a wetland to purify irrigation water and eventually forms a stable ecosystem.

ODE TO THE FRONTIER RESILIENT LANDSCAPE IN RESPONSE TO THE DESERT CLIMATE
Zhangye city, Gansu province, China is in the desert region of the northwestern China .Because of the climate of desert area, Zhangye city is in area with harsh natural environment. The oasis in the desert is the basis for peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s survival. However as people unreasonably reclaimed land and irrational methods of water use ,natural conditions became more and more harsh. It was threatened by desert migration and land salinization at any time. Eventually it led young laborers to leave here and go to urban city. Because of this, Zhangye city faced the problem of aging. What we should do is making measure to deal with extreme climates and resilience mechanism of recovery measure. Also we should take action to adjust the distribution of local water resource. Great natural environment will attract more local people and strangers come here and guard the desert oasis. Use 16 strategies to propose three-tier measures : 1. Establish a defense layer and use artificial defense measures to protect vulnerable oasis. 2. Establish a buffer layer and use plants to measure regional dust storms and wetland ecosystems to conserve water resources and handle land salinization. 3. New ecosystem formation when the buffer layers on both sides fuse. Different strategies have different capabilities for resisting disasters and recovering, overlapping and transform each other. The point for the design is to rejuvenate the local agricultural economy by improving the ecology and enhancing the response and recovery capabilities for extreme climates.

PREFUTURE
THE REUSE PLAN OF WASTEWATERPOND IN YAZD,IRAN
The project is located in the city of Yazd, Iran, where there is basically no surface runoff and lacking of water resources. The qanat restricts the direction of urban expansion and the problem of water rights. With the continuous expansion of the city, water resources have been unreasonably exploited, which has caused seriously damage of the qanat, land subsidence and casual discharge of urban waste water pond. The project analyses the present situation of the city, and predicts that the qanat will be destroyed in a wider range and the area of the wastewater pond will be enlarged in the future. On the basis of this, the plan will protect and strengthen the qanat, process and reuse waste water pond and then improve the ecological environment around the wastewater pond. The processed wastewater can alleviate the problem water shortage and water rights disputes. Some of the processed wastewater are used to serve agriculture around its surrounding area. Taking advantage of the industry development to give more employ-ment opportunities in society, we can weaken the social contradictions. From a long-term perspective, ecological strategy is the foundation and key to ease social contradictions and increase social welfare. The development of ecology is conducive to the alleviation of social problems and the weakening of social contradictions is more conducive to the further development of ecosystem. Ecological strategies and social strategies complement each other and form a virtuous circle.

Design Response to Conflict in the Public Realm
Public open space belongs to everyone and no one at once. It is made and re-made to serve the complex human needs. It is also to provide the ground for people engaging in public discourse. How to build a public environment that is resilient to all manners of human actions? This project aims to give a design response to the dynamics and outcomes of human conflict in the built environment by studying protests in London. The examination of the protest history in London suggest that the social awareness and policy change led by protests are related to the number of people participated rather than the proportion of people died or injured. Therefore, the design proposal is based on the following positions: public engagement and ways of expression should be supported; public environment should be protected; damage and violent behaviors should be mitigated. The core of the strategies resides in human-human relationship and human-environment relationship. By studying the confrontational pattern between protesters and the enforcement, and researches about environmental psychology, design proposals are made: large areas of hard paving and small scale green spaces will take the place of the great lawn; behavior mitigators such as mist emitters and reflective surfaces on structures will be implemented. Besides, a water system is proposed to address the site’s ecological resiliency given that the site resides in London’s flood zoon. Overall, the proposal will holistically improve the site’s function and resiliency, and hopefully give inspiration for relevant studies.

Spatially, most of the protests happened in London's city center. Among the protestors’ favorite sites, three became a focus of analysis for this project. These sites are either adjacent to the traffic hubs, near tourist attractions, or beside the government offices. Those elements make the sites busy and crowded, becoming ideal places for people to engage in public discourse. Of the three, Parliament Square has a moderate degree of development, and its potential for future intervention is relatively high.
Sit in 1978 The Anti-Nazi League Rally 2001 May Day Protest 2003 Stop the War 2011 March for the Alternative
As an historic site, Parliament Square has gone through major change three times, in 1804, 1868 and 1950. The traffic flow and pedestrian access have been much improved by sharing the traffic burden on one intersection to other three. And it now is surrounded by a number of famous tourist attractions, including Big Ben and Houses of Parliament to its east, and Westminster Abbey to its south. Through past public action happened here, more resilience for the site to protect itself from severe damage, and mitigation to protestors’ behavior is in need.

Based on current site condition, a number of interventions are proposed. By moving the west edge of the square, previously separated two parts of Parliament Square will become a whole, without interfering its traffic pattern. Considering views on site towards the tourist attractions, an open area should be kept from any visual obstacles. Then taking the view of passengers from all directions into consideration, reference lines for site structures formed. Overall, the square will be composed of three parts, each achieves different functionality.

Those installations also provide multiple recreational activities in daily life. After the intervention, the crowd would be more likely to occur around the installations in typical days. While in the protests, the open area will become protester’s major gathering space. On the western part of the square, the platform created by the slight slope would serve protesters public speech or performance. But if protests become violent in this area, mist emitters will disperse the crowd, protecting the trees and statues from severe damage. The water of the mist emitters will be collected and reused through the system. Parliament Square’s flooding issue will also be mitigated by this system.

Overall, using protest as a research point, this proposal will holistically reform the function and resiliency of Parliament Square, and hopefully provide some support and inspiration for future study.

Canine Unit London, locating in the south-east of the United Kingdom, is the political, economic and cultural center of the country. It is an important world-tourism destination. More than 8 million people speaking 300 languages live in this globalized metropolis. The complexity of its context inevitably leads to contradictions of different ideologies.
Night Scene
To make the site more resilient to damages caused by protests, large areas of hard paving and some small-scale green spaces will take the place of the great lawn; behavior mitigators based on environmental psychology researches will be adopted. For example, mist emitters can be used for blurring the view, and reflective surfaces on structures can be implemented so people seeing themselves psychologically become calmer on their behavior.

As a means of self-expression, innumerable protests have happened in London’s history. Issues touch all aspects of social life. In those scenes of conflict, protesters used as many varieties of tactics as possible to make their voices heard, from those more peaceful to others more violent. Metropolitan police also have adopted different strategies in the name of maintaining order and security, though the justification for some enforcement measures is controversial.
Oxford Circus 7:20pm
An examination of the protest history in London suggests that it was neither the severity of damage caused, nor the proportion of people died or injured that makes the protest resultful. Most of the protests that are influential enough to be recorded are the biggest ones that occurred after the 1960s. What really leads to the social awareness and policy change is the scale of the protests—the number of people participated. From the perspective of human rights, it is still a story about protecting the interests of the majority.

THE RESILIENT SYSTEM
A LANDSCAPE APPROACH TO REVIVE POST-INDUSTRIAL WATERFRONTS
Chongqing is a city born of water. However, with the interference of water-level-fluctuating zoneand the reduction of waterfront space brought by urban expansion, Chongqing waterfront space is facing a series of serious problems of ecological fragility, cultural disappearance and reduction of activity.Based on a series of resilient design strategies, we aim to build up a flexible, dynamic, and sustainable space that not only solve the flooding and vacancy problems but also provide an open public space for the whole city to memorize the history and be aware of the unique environment that we should cherish. Two features of the site we selected are the abandoned industrial structures and the water-level-fluctuating zone. Therefore, a resilient system that deals with all the issues and meets the requirement is essential to the projects. We conclude the strategies in those five main aspects: land restoration as soil resilience, stormwater management as water resilience, functional planting as planting resilience, flexible programs as program resilience, and sustainability and transitionality as cultural resilience.

REBIRTH OF GREENWAY
Through the construction of open space, green corridor connectivity and historical relics protection three technical routes, building a green corridor as one of the Beijing city green system part, forming a coherent green system for the surrounding residents and tourists to provide more convenient transportation and ecological landscape. At the same time, enhance the openness and landscape effects of Beijing Zoo and Zizhuyuan park. Blue-green complex will have different nature and function of the architectural space and city space form, with the introduction of urban public space is organized, according to certain value relations, formed by the unified planning, unified development management comprehensive building or buildings. Green synthesis in a more positive attitude to deal with major urban green space, will be open as a whole, integrated into the city and the surrounding features, in order to effectively solve the large green space of the contradiction between the visual image and function to play. Blue green complex represents the urban green space from passive control to emphasize the comprehensive diversified development for ecological concept of change from a single green concepts to the transition of the urban function system thinking, is a major urban green space development model of optional.

PROBLEMS
Serving as one of the eight flyways stretching across the Northern and Southern hemisphere, cities at the coastal area on the East Asian-Australasian Flyway (EAAF) have thrived under the development of industries and construction. However, EAAF migratory bird population have decreased dramatically. The site, located on the EAAF, serves as a stopover. Urbanization and pollution have destroyed the rich variety of habitats that attracted millions of migratory birds in the past.

MISCONCEPTION AND REBIRTH OF EUCALYPTUS This design depicts a more resilient evolution of eucalyptus plantations and provides a design idea for other regions facing similar threats. The eucalyptus, the contradiction that brings people money and worries, has finally attracted attention in China after decades of development.As a response to a series of ecological, economic and social issues that monoculture of eucalyptus may cause, we envisage that the use of soil restoration techniques, ecological planting techniques, and appropriate policy controls will allow monoculture-plantations to evolve toward a resilient, dynamically evolving system. Fragments and debris of trees are reused to help newly sprouted plants maintain fertility and provide important organic material for degraded soil. A variety of arbors, shrubs and herbs will be introduced to increase diversity of species. Livestock husbandry cooperates with the planting industry to form a circular ecology with complementary advantages. The local government issues corresponding control measures to ensure that the interests of local farmers are not lost, and promote the Eucalyptus forest reconstruction project. These measures will enhance the resilience of the entire eucalyptus forest on the basis of ensuring economic profit. The project is developing towards a resilient, dynamically evolving system that satisfies the mission of eucalyptus plantations. It is to understand eucalyptus forests as a collection of ecological, economic and social factors rather than a simple collection of trees.Eucalypt forests respond and restore stability quickly in the face of changes in theeconomic environment or changes in the ecological conditions, and eventually become a system that has long-term high resilience in the face of any change.

THE FETAL MOVEMENT OF THE EARTH EARTHQUAKE-RESISTANT LANDSCAPE CONSTRUCTION IN CHEFCHAOUEN, MOROCCO
We named our work “The fetal movement of the Earth”, inspired by the idea of resilience to earthquakes. Our main design is around a beautiful blue town Chefchaouen, which would possibly be hit by earthquakes. In our work, we designed the artificial seismic zone and natural buffer zone in aboveground part, while the triangle network in underground part, hoping to protect this beautiful paradise on the earth. Background:Chefchaouen is a city located in northwest Morocco, which is close to the important northern cities of Morocco, Tangier and Tetouan. Chefchaouen is surrounded by mountains with the advantage of the pleasant natural scenery. It’s an earthquake-prone area because its location is on the Mediterranean seismic zone. Feature: We associate landscape design with multidisciplinary fields such as physics and materials science, which is a good expression of the resilient landscape theme of “change due to earthquakes”. We adopted modern techniques such as damper and magnetic levitation system for energy reduction. Besides, we used polystyrene and flame retardants as materials for seismic landscapes. While paying attention to earthquake resistance, we also hope that we can embody humane care and the spirit of place, allowing this small city full of historical culture but with poor infrastructure to be permanently protected as a pure land of the earth. Innovation: We designed the landscape about before earthquakes, during earthquakes and after earthquakes in order to adapt to different changes. We analyze the seismic system and its energy reduction accurately to ensure its implementability.

FLUID WISDOM
RESILIENT ECOLOGICAL NETWORK FOR SHALLOW MOUNTAIN ZONE
The earth is facing various types of soil erosion, causing ecological damage and lack of elasticity. Due to steep terrain, poor soil, sparse vegetation, endless quarrying and other improper human activities, coupled with uneven spatial and temporal distribution of rainfall and transient fluidity, there are severe challenges of soil erosion, environmental safety crisis, and ecological fragmentation in the shallow mountain area of Taihang Mountains. This project takes Shijiazhuang Luquan mountain area as an example to explore the design of resilient restoration. The strong surface runoff in the rainy season is the direct cause of this phenomenon in this region. After analyzing the law of soil erosion, a series of basic points were selected from the main scour routes to construct ecological patches. Both the construction of the patch and the formation of the corridors utilize the dual resources of rainwater runoff, and finally we build a pre-shank elastic ecological network in which water and soil stability, self-regulation, self-adaptation, and biodiversity have all been improved. In the early stage of construction, human intervention is the main means to guide natural forces. As time progressing, nature gradually becomes the main force for the evolution of ecological networks. In the process of evolving towards the advanced network, it gradually exports to the outside world and benefits the surrounding areas, driving the improvement of the ecology, economy, landscape-quality, and peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lives. An elastic and sustainable ecological network has thus formed and developed.

RECALLING THE BEAUTY OF THE TERRACES
A NEW AGRICULTURAL REVOLUTION FOR FUTURE The Industrial Revolution changed the climate and lifestyle of human race. Extreme climate changes affect Taiwanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s island-type climate; strong rainfalls cause significant damage to life and property, while rural area, having the ability to regulate rain floods, are faced with issues such as aging population and abandoned farms. In the planning, Bai Shih Lake Village, located in the upstream of the Dagou Creek, was once a village surrounded by terraced fields, now faced with aging crisis; Neihu downtown area, located downstream, is overwhelmed by floods over the years. Therefore, to find a new solution for human and nature to live together, we plan the rural area as an organic Detention System based on Disaster Risk Reduction and re-establish the texture of the terraced fields in the past. The improvement of agricultural environment and the recovery of rural values not only benefits tourism and education in the short term, but also passes on agricultural wisdom about living together with nature in the long term, attracting people to go back to rural area. To execute the planning, we propose 7 application models to reach the goal, including Terraces form Agri-detention Basin, Senior Farm, Nostalgic Rice Fieldâ&#x20AC;Śetc, with the attempt to establish a resilient landscape which focuses on sustainable agricultural environment.

BETWEEN UPS AND DOWNS
DESIGN FOR RESIDENTS OF TONLE SAP LAKE
The base is located at the junction of Siem Reap and Tonle Sap Lake in Siem Reap, Cambodia, along the estuary of the Siem Reap River to the shore of Tonle Sap. Tonle Sap is the largest lake in Southeast Asia, and the natural reservoir of the Mekong. In recent years, due to the rapid growth of the floating village population, the ecological environment of the Tonle Sap Lake has begun to deteriorate, water storage capacity has decreased, fish resources have declined, and species around the lake have also rapidly decreased. At the same time as the economic development is relatively backward, 50% of the residents of Tonle Sap live below the poverty line. The solution is to use a local water-resistant material to design a 3*3*3m framework that can be combined into different use spaces according to the needs and provide different ways for people to use between ups and downs. The core of the project is to resolve the 13m water level difference along the coast, develop the tourism industry to increase the residentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; income at the same time, form a benign ecological cycle and economic cycle.

A Balanced Developmental City “A Balanced Developmental City” is an attempt to solve the ecological, social and economic issues of the Resilient landscape infrastructure in the context of rapid urbanization. By analyzing the process of global urbanization, we select Delhi, the capital city of India, as the representative to try to solve the pollution of the Yamuna Rive brought about by rapid urbanization, the disparity between the rich and the poor and the infrastructure caused by the unbalanced development of New Delhi and Old Delhi. This will create a resilient city and demonstrate the potential of landscape infrastructure to solve ecological, social, and economic problems. The program proposes a theoretical framework of resilient landscape infrastructure, which is based on “module, network and dimension”. Through carrying out ecological restoration of rivers at different stages, building flexible neighborhoods, and creating different types of agricultural development models adapting to the development of New Delhi and Old Delhi, we reconstruct the module composition of the landscape infrastructure in Delhi. These modules interact spatially forming the elastic landscape infrastructure network, which places greater emphasis on functional connections, while at the same time they implement specific elastic requirements through the superposition of functions. Finally, through the space of landscape infrastructure, it provides a platform for all dimensions, which facilitates the coordinated development of complex ecological, social and economic issues.

DRIFTING FERTILE LAND
The site of the project is Tonle Sap Lake in Cambodia which is the largest freshwater lake in the southeast Asia and the highest provided to a nation by a single ecosystem around the world. Mekong River and the lake have a natural resilience relationship. During the dry season, the lake supplies the Mekong River and the opposite in rainy season. Due to the construction of the upstream hydropower station on Mekong River, the water flow status changed, resulting in the local sediment deposition in the Tonle Sap Lake. The overall sediment nutrient content is also reduced, which leads to the obstruction of fish migration and flood plain. Tonle Sap also has nurtured Vietnamese refugees who could not land for generations. Those refugees and Cambodian residents directly dump domestic garbage in Tonle Sap Lake, resulting in serious eutrophication of the lake. The fish resources have fallen sharply and the ecosystem is in a vicious cycle. Our design uses sediment as an entry point and utilizes the cyclic characteristics of seasonal water flow to design ecological modules that can be used to collect and utilize sediment while drifting along the water stream. Through the selection of plants, it can form habitats while purifying water quality. And the water flow seasonally to the settlements and refugee points, bring them industry energy and crops. Hope that the intervention of landscape can ease the tension between man and nature, and drive the surrounding cities sustainable.

AMPHIBIOUS LIFE
Located at the entrance of the Nanjing section of the Yangtze River, San Shan is a monument with a long history. Problems: The illegal sand extraction causes following problems:(1) Simplification of the industry(2) Difficulty of government taxation (3) The health of workers and the lives of the local residents are affected (4) Sanshan historical sites are gradually destroyed (5) Flood, drowning and other security risks. (6) The ecological environment has been severely damaged Main Features: In view of this, the government gets to the root of the problem and decides to close the factories, but this move will put the workers out of work and affect social stability. To address this issue, we consider the ecological, cultural, and social aspects comprehensively. Therefore, we propose a diversified solution to give the site more functions, so that it can adapt to the changes in urbanization and the natural environment. Specifically, we redesign the site, which will hopefully restore the ecological environment of the site and revive its culture and function. Innovation Points: 1. Establish a levee. While blocking floods, it can also use floodwater to provide assistance for the periodical ecological restoration of the site, which reflects the flexibility of the site to deal with natural disasters. 2.Establish ecological fish ponds. This measure can help solve the employment problems of workers, as well as gradually improve the fragmented ecological environment caused by excessive sand extraction.

WAITING FOR FLOOD ADAPTIVE RURAL COMMUNITY DESIGN IN QINGSHUI RIVER BASIN,GUIZHOU
The number of mountainous cities and towns in China accounts for more than half of the total number of towns in the country as a basic unit for responding to multiple disasters, the villages are located in the rural areas of the mountainous waterfront where floods occur frequently. How can we turn crisis into opportunities and achieve sustainable development? The competition selected the villages in the middle and lower reaches of the Qingshui River Basin in Guizhou Province with frequent flood problems, complex topography, and natural habitat sensitivity. The theme was “WAITING FOR FLOOD-Adaptive Rural Community Design in Qingshui River Basin,Guizhou”. From the idea of from ‘face’ to ‘line’ to ‘point’, a floating settlement system in line with the Qingshui River Basin was constructed to form a settlement linkage system that responded to flood disasters. By means of floating measures, the negative impact of floods will be weakened and transformed into a characteristic living landscape that co-exists with the flood. The floating construction, agricultural and production modules of the Miao Village will be realized, which will in turn drive the local economic development. The traditional rural settlement will be transformed from resisting floods to utilizing floods, eventually forming a flood-compatible rural settlement with traditional Miao characteristics, and promoting the overall development of resilient settlements in mountainous areas in China.

GROWING SHALLOWS THE ECOLOGICAL RESTORATION PROJECT OF SAND MINING AREA IN MEKONG DELTA, VIETNAM
The site named Trà Vinh is located in Trà Vinh province , Vietnam .This city is next to the Mekong River in Mekong delta .The city is densely covered with rivers and paddy fields. The continuous expansion of the city has increased the demand for river sand. The city erected, but people who live near the river lost their home . This bad phenomenon is being staged in Trà Vinh. Sand mining creates a lot of sandpits to the rivers. These sandpits affect the life of the local residents, causing the collapse of houses and the destruction of rice fields nearby the riverbank. Sand mining also pollutes rivers, erodes riverbeds and kills river fish and plants. In order to solve the above problems, we propose the following conceptual solutions. Destruction of water flow rate in rivers using construction waste. Then, the sandpits form biological habitats. A series of degradable irregular shaped dams are designed around the sandpits near the banks to intercept sediments in the river and accumulate over time to form shallows. Shallows can restore mangrove wetlands. We suggest planting high-value mangroves to replace traditional mangroves. Reshaping the river bank ecological balance. As the river bottom and bank environment will been improved, the residents’ income sources have changed from the original sand mining, breeding and planting to the tourism economy, planting high-value economic species, and breeding. Residents’ livelihood will be moving in a more ecological direction.

EYE OF THE STORM
A RESILIENT SCHEME TO DEAL WITH THE EROSION AND FLOODING SITUATION IN WEST BENGAL STATE OF INDI
The site is located in the south of West Bengal State of India and is the westernmost point of the Ganges Delta. West Bengal is a religious resort with very high population density where its core area Sagar island is a famous Hindu pilgrimage center. And there are pilgrimages on the coast every year. However, due to climate change and agricultural development, sea level rises and mangroves are destroyed, islands and coasts are at risk of being eroded. There is an inevitable contradiction between the land area reduction and population growth. Recently, storms occur in the coastal areas more and more frequently, which have caused huge economic losses especially in these years. We planned to build the dunes and rebuilt the mangroves as the first line of defense for the protection of the coast. At the same time integrated into aquaculture to increase economic. On this basis, the raised walkway was established to connect village and beach, and to reduce the intervention of coastal vegetation. In addition, buildings in vulnerable areas are elevated to protect residents. To deal with more destructive disasters, we have planned the safe areas in towns and biological migration habitats along the coast. Under these resilient landscape strategies, we believe that this region will become a place where developing with ecology, religious culture and economic, and humans live in harmony with nature in a century.

ILLUMINATION OF THE LONE
The rapid development of cities has brought many conveniences to the urban residents,but it also comes a series of negative effects brought by urbanization, especially the psychological problems of urban residents. Trough the study of urban development process,we found that the psychological diseases brought by urbanization are closely related to the loneliness of urban residents. Issues to be addressed: Urban loneliness,as a global problem spread with urbanization,will be the focus of our research and the problem to be solved. We analyzed the causes of the city’s loneliness, and put forward a set of urban lonely healing solutions for cities in different stages of the world. Main features:This project takes the user’s spontaneous activities as motive force, and the user can organize and build the required space spontaneously.Moreover, through the implantation of visual, auditory, taste, touch, and sense of smell, the human senses can be stimulated to realize human interaction so as to reduce city’s loneliness. Innovations: Based on the needs of residents, urban public areas of different cities can be formed spontaneously through urban residents’ activities. Urban psychological healing means based on sensory stimulation.

EARTH VACCINATION A PREPOSED STRATEGY TO CREATE THE RESILIENT MINING LANDSCAPE OF TONGLUO MOUNTAIN
The distribution of mineral resources in the world is wide, and the consumption of mineral resources is closely related to the social and economic indicators. Therefore, the demand and the trend of mining is inevitable. However, the mining methods have brought great damage to the environment, such as water, air, solid waste and soil pollution, and geological disasters. And a lot of money for repairing. We chose to conduct a comparative study at the Tongluo Mine. The site is divided into two parts. Site A began its mining activities in the 1980s had experienced severe ecological damage. A large number of farmers and miners lost their jobs, and a lot of money had been invested. Same with Site A, Site B, the site of this design, which is rich in mineral resources, also facing a new round of mining. In order to avoid the tragedy from happening again, the new ecological mining strategy cannot be delayed. Different from traditional mine rehabilitation projects, the core idea of this project is not to repair, but to prepose ecological strategies. Involves putting ecological valves on this site, building a natural and industrial resilient foundation. In this way to respond to a series of ecological problems and social problems that come with it when mining activities are carried out better. We hope can provide reference values for many other regions that are waiting to be mined, and adopt a new way to deal with the harm caused by inevitably mining at the present stage.

LIVE WITH SUNDARBANS EXPLORING A EXEMPLARY MODEL OF COMMUNITY CO-MANAGEMENT IN THE MANGROVE-AFFECTED AREA
The world heritage site, sundarbans, is the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most famous wetland, with the largest mangrove forest in the world. It is located in the Ganges delta, with a total area of 140000 hectares, with 260 species of animals and 334 plants live inside. However, as the sea level rises and storms become more intense, people here face severe poverty and the threat of flooding. People are displaced and their livelihoods are severely affected. This design is to explore a reproducible model adaptation model to mitigate and adapt to the existing problems in the sundarbens area, where the mangrove ecosystem is threatened, the harvest is reduced and the residence is located on the site of the risk margin. This model proposes different strategies for the improvement of ecological restoration, substitute livelihood and tourism supporting facilities in Sundarbans. The three strategies include mangrove ecological restoration, embankment ecological restoration and terrestrial forest ecological restoration; Alternative livelihood strategies based on Marine agriculture, fisheries, mangrove seedlings planted in dryland mangroves and mangrove byproducts processing; And a strategy to improve the travel infrastructure of housing, business, and entertainment. In the future, the site of this model adaptive model can be used for the well-being of the residents who rely on mangrove forests to survive and are at risk, so that people and mangroves can be protected from disasters and coexist in a harmonious coexistence between ecology and livelihood.

BREAK THE BOUNDARY SYMBIOSIS BETWEEN USERS AND PARK
With the construction of urbanization, the migrant workers entered the tree village park. Then, there was an area in this park which forms a boundary, isolated workers from other residents. The poor living environment of migrant workers obstructs the mobility of the park, which aggravates the environmental pollution and social instability. Considering migrant workers finally leave the park with policy-driven (as it’s not permitted to build houses in the park), and the principal contradiction may change over time, so we design an resilient mechanism which will lead to the coexist between the two ethnic groups and symbiosis with the park: the container house will be endowed with more public activities as the migrant workers leave this park as time goes on, and finally become a core bond connecting the north and the south area. Community farm, viewing platform and shared space change the original abandoned site into the space which could promote dialogue and accelerate different ethnic groups to know each other. At the same time, the cooperation mechanism between them provides vitality for the resilient renewal of park’s ecological cycle and social functions. Our project title is “Break the boundary Symbiosis between users and park”, and this landscape is aim at promoting symbiosis between users and park, including the adaptive activities and ecological measure design with time process.

REDEFINE SAIGON RIVER BANK
While we were doing this design, we focused on a new landscape type of inhabitable landscape. The site is located on the riverbank of Ho Chi Minh City. Under the condition that HCMC is located on a flood plain, there are some places that are perfect for human living, while other places are not, where there has very severe flooding issue. Also because Vietnam is one of the Global-south countries, their government doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have enough money for equal development in the city, many of the poor groups turned out to have to live in the urban fringe area. The poor groups become the people who directly be influenced when the flood occurs in the city. To reduce the vicious circle caused by this gap between rich and poor, we choose to use the advantage of local living environment to improve the water condition and peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life. In our detail design, we created an island system at the junction of mainstream and tributaries to detain the flood. The second point, we created a commercial district to reserve local characteristics, a series of platforms to reorient the stream of people and an optimized drainage system to reduce and utilize the flood. The third point, we created an urban farm to provide survival possibility, and new floating houses to respond to the rising water levels, thus, we came up with a landscape mode to magnify the regional characteristics and negotiate the flood at the same time.

GREATEST COMMON DIVISOR TO MEET THE GREATEST PUBLIC NEEDS OF PEOPLE AND WETLANDS
The urbanization has a negative impact on the wetland ecology. In order to protect the wetland, the government has restricted the development of the industry around the wetland, and the balance between people and wetland is destroyed. Finally the traditional Waterland of the south of the Yangtze River is no longer existed. The above situation highlights the different development needs of human beings and wetlands. Human beings have the need of industrial development., and wetland has the need to maintain ecological balance. That is the contradiction that we need to solve. In this wetland, the designers changed the properties of the fish ponds around the wetland, hoping to improve the traditional freshwater aquaculture and agriculture through the treatment of the tail water and the dredging of the silt, so that it would not become a source of pollution in the wetland, but a part of the wetland ecological purification. To meet the needs of wetland and human development to the greatest extent, improve the restoration ability of wetland and realize the development of the greatest common divisor.

RABBIT EARRING PROJECT
The West Sea mudflats, one of the world’s top five mudflats. In particular, the western sea mudflats are located at the entrance to the ocean’s currents. Therefore, it is responsible for water quality management for the global environment. However, the western sea mudflats have been constantly destroyed in history. Various environmental problems arising from this are damaging both the ecosystem and humans. Therefore, we are planning to create a space for human use by utilizing reclaimed land that is being discarded. At the same time, he planned the project in an attempt to bring the dead land back to the mudflats ecosystem and create a symbiosis with nature. We’re going to do this as a strategy to restore the mudflats. First thing is to cut down the abandoned farmland to make it easier for the deposition. Second, By installing a deck on a soft surface, it creates an environment that is easily deposited in the lower space. Third, An artificial island is built around a pillar, creating an easy environment for deposition. So this strategy is what we’re going to do. Step one, every single patch of agricultural land that we’ve led to restore is restored to the mudflats. Step two, It will be spread to the surrounding agricultural land in harmony and is restored. And the last step is to lead the restoration into the broad mudflats gradually. We plan to create a space where humans and nature can coexist through this project.

CUTTING & FILLING
With the growing industrialization and the transformation of economic structure, more and more factories have appeared in China and there are also some problems caused by illegal production and emissions. Seepage pit is an obvious one of them, which are formed by digging pits and spilling toxic chemicals randomly and result in soil and groundwater pollution and high prevalence of local residents. We picked up a representative seepage pit which is located in Tong Jiazhuang Village, Jinghai District, Tianjin. It is close to provincial highway and elevated high-speed rail lines. We developed a strategy of “cutting& filling” aimed at this problem. The firststep is to restore the polluted water through digging some new pits to collect the waste water pumped out from the seepage pits and using chemicalbiological method to improve the quality of water. At the same time, we set out to treat the sediment and polluted soil through chemical methods, Ex-Situ Thermal Desorption and Soil Barrier and Landfill, which are effective to heavily polluted soil, and Aeration Treatment, which is more suitable for less polluted soil. After stacking and deposition of soil, we used this soil to build earthworks and grew some plants with strong adaptability on it to attract more and more wild animals and to speed up the process of ecological restoration. We developed fishponds, wetland, earthworks, urban agriculture, and agricultural education and water purification base in this site. We developed fishing and agriculture industry firstly. With the restoration and beautification of this site, the service and tourism industry can be promoted. Through soil and water treatment, the biggest threat to local people’s health is eliminated, meanwhile, the water purification base, farmland and earthwork can become educational and tourist spots, bringing new paradigm to local people and greater social value to the government.

ONWARD OASIS
The area of the Aral Sea has declined by more than 90% (more than 60,000 square kilometers) in the 50 years, while the Amu Darya River, which is used to the main water resources of the Aral Sea, has been stored and separated by the countries on the way. Meanwhile, salinization and sandification in the surrounding area of the Aral Sea has been increasingly severe and suffer from salt and sandstorms, because of the excessive excavation of channels and giant water infrastructure to develop the cotton economy. The towns perspective for the agriculture now is forgotten. The area of the Alial Delta in Uzbekistan in the southern part of the Aral Sea has become the last natural buff between the Amu River and the Aral Sea. We try to use Aliaul as a starting point through transforming the traditional channel framework as a dynamic water network according to the rainy and dry season. we recombine traditional wisdom agricultural methods to improve water and salt balance, soil quality and adjust industrial models as an opportunity to revive Aliaul oasis and replenish ecological Water, to the Aral Sea. Hopefully, the Aliaul transformation framework can be used as a model which can be applied to the upper reaches and bring new opportunities for the oasis, the Amu Darya, and the Aral Sea relying on the inefficient agricultural economy.

NIGHT OF ULAANBAATAR
A FUTURE RESILIENT CITY ON THE FROZEN SOIL, BENEATH THE DUST, SURROUNDED BY YURTS This design is centered on the current situation of Ulaanbaatar in Mongolia, and its nature, culture and history. it is concluded that site status mainly in the “natural environment”, “air pollution”, “concentrated model” give priority to form a vicious cycle of the status quo, and put forward the solutions of “air”, “frozen soil”, “water “ as three solution. Air: we put forward “improved the original settlement mode”, “central heating”, “increase afforestation and landscape flexibility” three resolution strategy., to differentiate areas form a community group, group each contributed part of the land, build towers of central heating, central heating, increase the rate of burning coal, reduce waste emissions, waste heat supply center garden and the street trees to ensure plant growth, survival of plants, landscape further flexibility, forming a virtuous cycle. Permafrost: mainly to slow the permafrost melt and reduce the effects of frozen soil, we put forward “increase insulation layer”, “low impact strategy”, “increase of vegetation coverage”, “increase isolation belt” as four resolution strategy. Water: in order to relieve the water shortage in the dry period and purify the water quality, the two points of “water storage” and “water purification optimization biological chain” were proposed as the solution strategy. The river system is adopted to increase the capacity of water storage, improve the landscape of the river, plant a variety of plants, and optimize the original ecosystem.

GREEN BONDING NET A RESILIENCE SYSTEM TO DESERTIFICATION
PROJECT CONTEXT Desertification is one of the important socialeconomy-environment issues the current global human beings are facing with. Minqin County is located at the junction of Gansu Province and Tengger and the Jilin Desert. Surrounded on three sides by desert, Minqin suffers from serious desertification. Every year, shifting sand buries a large number of houses and continue to advance to the hinterland. MAJOR ISSUES At present, desertified land accounts for 94% of the total land area of Minqin County, and the desert is constantly eroding the village. We need to find a way to stop the flow of the quicksand, or Minqin will be swallowed by the desert. This project focus on the following iusses: the fixation of shifting sands the recovery of natural vegetationă&#x20AC; the establishment of public space. STRATEGY Wheat Grass Square(WGS) is proved to be the most effective mean of sand fixation. Biological Soil Crusts(BSC) is also used. WGS increases the roughness of the underlying surface, significantly reduces the underlying wind speed, and thus weakens the land loss. Using wheat straw as main material, WGS is cheap and of easy construction. BSC is a compound formed by microbacteria, fungi, algae, lichens, mosses and other herbaceous plants and their mycelium and secretions. These two methods can effectively stabilize sand and help to form soil.

RECONSTRUCT THE FUTURE
SYSTEMATIC STRATEGIES ON ANTI-SEASONAL WATER-LEVELFLUCTUATION IN THE THREE GORGES RESERVOIR The Three Gorges Dam in China has resulted in the formation of 348.93km2 drawdown zone in the reservoir area, including a remarkable water level change ranging from 145m in summer to 175m in winter.At the same time, it brought about problems such as the reduction of ecological habitats, inundation of cultivated land, and largescale immigration. Issues: Kaizhou city has the largest drawdown zone of 45km2 and is the most typical city in the reservoir with multiple issues. The contradiction between urban development and water-levelfluctuation is an urgent problem to be solved. However, a dam was built and changed the regional hydrological features. A natural river channel was intercepted into a lake with constant water level, separating the city from resilient natural systems. Such a blunt manual intervention failed to solve the existing dilemma, but brought about more problems such as flood threat, ecological barrier and habitat reduction. Features and innovations: From the perspective of resilient landscape, the timeline was set back to 2002, when the dam construction and migration had not begun. The dam is overthrown and resilient systems for different problems are redesigned and rebooted. Targeted strategies of soft revetment for new town, ecological dyke for old town, andâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;island-pond systemâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; are involved to achieve the goal of building a positive and harmonious relationship between people, city and water-level-fluctuation, enhancing the ecological, economic and cultural values of the region comprehensively .

METAMORPHOSIS OF SHIFTING MOSAIC A RESILIENT LANDSCAPE DEVELOPMENT FOR MITIGATE LANDSLIDE VULNERABILITY
Sri Lanka, whether it is called as a paradise island, the country is facing frequent landslides which affect badly for human lives, infrastructure and national economy. It is recorded that mostly 20% of total land mass considered to be prone to landslides. Thousands of people are vulnerable for this disaster and lost so many lives but they are not given any long term solutions. This project addresses above issue in a macro scale landscape mosaic and it is treated by identified major and minor issues at â&#x20AC;&#x153;Haldummullaâ&#x20AC;? area which is located within middle peneplain of Sri Lanka. Scalable landscape architectural solutions are given through series of historical, geological, ecological and social analysis. For this, Negative (disaster prone node) and positive (safe node) landscape nodes which identified within macro sites. Strategic landscape architectural involvements are given to shift the settlement in a more stable, more resilient and more resist land. Soft landscape techniques as same as hard landscape methods were used to mitigate future disaster preparedness. Through proposed landscape architectural development to those nodes will, Stabilize and uplifted into more stable, resistance and resilient scapes mainly enhance the land by mosaic pattern agents (soft landscape).

During the 18th and 19th century the native grasslands of the Melbourne West drastically destroyed and replaced due to the rapid Agricultural growth (the intensive grazing by sheep); leading the loss of up to 70% and the overall diversity dismissed. This projects images introducing 60 hectares of Native Grasslands EVC and 20 hectares of wetlands in West Desalination Plant to restore natural habitat for local/aquatic birds and employ water surface filtration. The site is located conveniently 4 kilometres away from the second largest bird watching site in Australia. The project images the possibilities of hosting habitats for hundred thousands of birds including local freshwaters to migrating birds from Northern Hemispheres during summer. By achieving the restation of Plains Grassland EVC, the project recognises the rarity and significance of volcanic plain grassland as a rich seed resource. The project proposes that value is placed on restorative and regenerative functions over aesthetic outcomes - highlighting the biodiversity values of the site and its context. As the ‘High’ quality area are needed to patrol for grassy exotic weeds and intensive maintenance efforts are required for the ‘Medium’ areas. These processes ensure the long-term survival of all indigenous plant species and reintroduce of elements of the presumed original flora. As a result, the project not only revives the rich biodiversity of grasslands EVC but also provides the Utopia for birds and other wild animals.

The project is located in Dali, Yunnan, China. The design scope includes the governance of Erhai and its source. Erhai is the second largest freshwater lake in Yunnan province. It is the mother river raising the people of Yunnan. It is also one of the important pillars of the tourism economy of Yunnan province. In recent years, Erhai is facing a crisis of life and death. The contradiction between eutrophication, water quality decline, water treatment and riverside villagers’ survival is an important issue that Erhai needs to solve. In order to solve these problems, through field survey and data collection, we put forward several improvement measures including ecology, technology and management to improve the water quality of Erhai Lake, and selected the channel of Luoshi River connecting Erhai Lake as the key design point. We regard river as the artery of human body, and creatively combine capillary, Pascal triangle theory and wetland system to form a multi-layer filtration system to improve the water quality of Erhai Lake.

We proposed the concept of Growing Cooling Island to resist the urban heat issue.Through building the ecologicalsocioeconomic composite frame,cooling island grows continuously thus realizing the cooling and alleviating the heat island effect. To provide cold island effect,we planned the bluegreen system ,which includes three aspects:(1)Integrating existing greenspace and water system.(2) restorating the historical water system.(3)combining cooling islands with public transport system,communicating historical cultural area and green space. Through these methods,at the same time as solving the problem of urban high temperature,it creates ecological and socioeconomic value.In ecologicalaspect,cooling island provides habitat for birds,improving biodiversity in old town.

ELASTIC WEB
The unique and energetic natural scenery of the seaside always attracted humanity to settle in this place and form a series of local cultures. However, with the development of regional economy, the ecological environment and economic development have formed an opposite situation. According to analysis, we propose three strategies to restore site flexibillity. The project is located in Haiwei Town, in the west of Hainan Province and Changjiang Li Autonomous County, near the seashore. The soil in the site was dry and scarcity of water. Desertification occurred in some areas. The water body was polluted in different degree due to the development of the aquaculture industry. The types of vegetation were monotonous. At the same time, it is also facing the threat of a tropical storm surge. Based on the principle of bionics, we borrowed from the elastic structure of the spider wed to design a network with defensive capabilities, resilience and connectivty. The overall fucntion was achieved through the superimposition of functions. It is a multicultural information carrier for transportation, history, landscape, ethnicity, etc. Through ecological restoration and reuse, the site has become a multipfuncitonal landscape space. It has demonstrated the coastal wetland landscpe as the main body, reflecting the development of marine fishery. The historical connotation has research value and educational function for people to visit and watch popular science investigation.

WATERY DRYLAND: A PLANNING OF THE BLUE INFRASTRUCTURE IN ANTOFAGASTA, CHILE
Under the background of global warming and frequent occurrence of extreme climatic events, this project put forward an idea of adaptive water system for Antofagasta, a northern city of Chile. According to the Literature study and field trips, some issues such as water shortage, minimal annual precipitation and unpredictable rainstorm are revealed, which lead to a lack of urban green area, negative agricultural development and even water supply dispute. However, the average air humidity in Antofagasta is up to 70%. Hence, the innovative facilities transforming â&#x20AC;&#x153;wet airâ&#x20AC;? into water could be built around this city, increasing the water supply significantly. Moreover, combined these new facilities with rainwater collectors and domestic sewage recycling, an urban blue infrastructure net could be established in response to extreme drought and sudden rainstorm. In this way, from partly to generally, the urban greenfield and public space of Antofagasta would be gradually restored. At the same time, the reasonable redistribution of water resource would relieve social contradictions, promote social resilience.

-A PRELIMINARY STUDY ON THE MUNICIPAL RIVER POLLUTION QUTONOMOUS SYSTEM UNDER THE COORDINATION MECHANISM.
The definition of resilient landscape is “the ability of ecosystems to endure disrupted and not collapse”, disrupting the process of rapid urbanization, in addition to natural disasters, and the loss of biodiversity, loss and degradation of natural resources, and economic and social instability. . We focus on the disruption of the urban waterfront environment in the rapid urbanization process. With the development of industry, people over the riverside area, which have brought a series of adverse effects on the city riverside area, such as water pollution, river blockage, the quality of the surrounding environment and so on. The development of rivers is closely related to the development of cities. How to build a good and sustainable waterfront environment is an important challenge facing the society today. The long-term dominant position of riverside area for urban development comes from its unique value, flexibility and adaptability. We selected the city of Harbin in the city of the city of the city of the city of the river Ma Jia ditch research and design, according to the surrounding environment, the entire section of the river is divided into three stages, different stages of water treatment in different stages, different pollution conditions to take different strategies, and ultimately the whole river system has the city’s pollution of the city self.

THE TURN
THE REBIRTH OF THE CITARUM RIVER
Citarum River is located in the west of Java, Indonesia, originated in the mountainous area of southern Bandung, with the basin area of 6,600 km2, ranking the third largest river of Indonesia. Since the 1980s, Bandung has achieved population growth and rapid urbanization by the driving force of textile industry, while the lack of environmental awareness has led to a dramatic decline in water quality for the past 20 years, combined with frequent floods that result from extreme weather, which both exert severe influence on Indonesia’s economy and society. Based on the endeavor of local government, the “TURN” project is to borrow the power of river course, take advantage of the river itself, and change the negative effects of floating garbage into positive ones at the river turns. Specifically, the garbage collection and flood prevention facilities will be taken as the standard module which will be put into more available turns, so as to gradually reduce the floating wastes, build floodwalls that are made of garbage and then design the waterfront space for activities by reusing the garbage. By doing this, we can reduce the pollution, improve flood control ability and vitalize the river bank as well. The wide application of this module will help clearing the river wastes and improve the city’s adaptability to the river pollutions and extreme climate, therefore revitalize the Citarum River after years of pollution.

ADAPTIVE CELLS: THE FLOATING WONDERS Our site is located in Zoucheng, Shandong Province in China, which is one of the current ecological hotspots in North China with evident ecosystem disruption due to human interference. Coal mining was once flourished in the design site led to a short-term development of local society and economy. Currently, severe coal mining collapse becomes the major driver of local environment changes, which leaves horrors of ground deformation and subsidence, vegetation deterioration, loss of agricultural fields, the occurrence of accident and casualties, as well as lagging economy and vulnerable community. Our design idea is to make full use of the ecological opportunity of newly formed wetland due to ground subsidence and accumulation of stomwater in the site to reverse the fragile site to a resilient landscape system. We adopt ecological engineers including multifunctional floating beds, dynamic ponds and water forestry to develop a sustainable framework with resilience capacity to contribute restoration of local ecosystem and the regeneration of local society, economy, and culture. Carefully designed floating beds will be the core part of the landscape framework, which adopt various of ecological structures and engineering means to provide dynamic modules such as wildlife habitats, wet meadows, crop production and activity modules to offer various of functions including biodiversity conservation, aesthetics, crop yields, edu-cation and recreation, etc. With the involvement of life wisdom and ecological wisdom, the system will perform as â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;adaptive cellsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; that continuously evolve with the abi-lity of self-maintenance, and therefore achieve real resilience.

STARRY SKY
SMALL SCALE MOBILE LANDSCAPE DESIGN USING INDUSTRIAL MATERIALS AS ELEMENTS
In the process of transforming Sheffield from the main steel industry into a green, technological and industrial city, the Tang Valley region has been continuously developed into a chaotic pattern since the 1990s: limited green areas, lack of vitality, and industrial pollution，serious and unbalanced industrial types all contributed to the serious obstacles to the future development of the Tang Valley area. We use the design method of the elastic landscape to give new functions to the waste space of the original industrial area and rejuvenate it, connecting various industrial spaces through the block. The abandoned space is the point, the street is the line, and the dotted lines form the “Starry Sky” view overlooking the perspective, and refer to this area as the star of Sheffield. In addition, the location, quantity, and function of the landscape system and the distribution of each element are variable. While undertaking Tang Valley’s long history of industrial manufacturing, it has also met the continuous development of society and residents’ needs.

BRIDGE OVER TROUBLED WATER
- ECOLOGICAL SELF-RECOVERY SYSTEM BRIDGE THE PAST AND FUTURE LANDSCAPE
Parti derives from understandings that are nonlandscapture and must be cultivated before landscape form can be born. We think about the relationship between the past and the future, then we find a bridge which can be a hint to experiential and aesthetic sensibility. So, we draw a soft line on “Shezidao” landscape and building volume, to create a unique parti solving the serious flooding problem of nature and economic issue of residents. We use “ denial and reward ”to enrich passage through the built environment. First, we tend to be concerned with landscape physical things in and of themselves. Then, we focus on the human interface with physical things. Next time, you will see a brand new landscape when crossing the “Shezi Bridge”from Taipei City. Due to the heavy Gloria Typhoon rains, Shezidao Island was announced as forbidden area for over 50 years. Most habitats in Shezidao have been affected by floods caused by the typhoon rains. We decide to Build a wetland park, to control flood, and the cultivation of ecological self-recovery system. Design a “system” not just landscape design, respond to the topic “elastic landscape” and design a set of “protective, predictive, mitigation, adaptability” to explore Shezidao for government measures the negative impact, as well as the natural flood itself. The bridge implied the connection between Taipei City and the forgotten island that bridge the past and the future.

THE CIRCLE OF LIFE -ECOLOGICAL RESTORATION OF SHAOHAI WETLAND
Jiaozhou is close to Huanghai. During the rainy season, the tides backflow makes it easy to flood. In 2001, the flood caused an economic loss of 120 million yuan, brought huge losses to Jiaozhou. The wetland is a city flood control wetland, which can meet the defense demand of the 50-year-flood. Since 2006, the government has invested nearly 700 million yuan to develop it, leading a large number of fishermen lost their land. However, excessive economic investment is harmful to Shaohai in fact. Severe water pollution causes the reeds to grow wildly and animals’ death. Organic matter can’t be consumed timely and silt accumulates too fast, so the wetland flood-control function is weaker and weaker. And the huge investment has not received the expected benefits. To solve it, we made several field research and come up with the solution. The ecological dam made up with willows and filled with reeds to lead water to impact and form a wetland. Then we can establish the land-wetland- damfloating island multi-level purification system to improve the water quality and increase the biodiversity to restore the wetland’s ecology. Then we can breed mussels in wetland to purify water, and develop pearl economy and ecological tourism which can bring economic income and jobs with the reed knitwork for the relocated-fishermen. Finally, we can restore the ecological resilience of the site and build a social - economic - and ecological resilience cycle.

LEEWAY OF CONVECTION
Tropical villages in Southeast Asia are vulnerable to tropical storms. Because of the location at the junction of the river and the sea as well as the massive deforestation of mankind for economic development, Dakhin Bedkasi suffered more complex disasters. Tidal river brings back-flowing seawater from the down stream and Kopothakho River brings sensation from the upper stream. In order to solve the conflict of the site, the plan sets out the rivers that discharge the floods upstream and divert the rivers that flow to downstream. With the height of different water levels, embankments and islands, which are different height, are used to change the flood of discharged channels. While reducing flood damage to a minimum, it has greatly improved poldersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; drainage capacity and enhanced the production and sustainable development of polders. At the same time, these rivers bring abundant fresh water and sediment during the non-flood season, which alleviate the problem of long-term surface descent in the polders system. Mangrove on both sides of the river bank prevent soil erosion and provide ample food sources for the aquaculture. Together improve the systemâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s defense capabilities and sustainability. The flexible water strategy transformed the original chaotic convection conflicts into human, water, and natural. The plan improves the safety and livability of the local community and provides residents with more economic income.

INVISIBLE RESERVOIR
- ECOLOGICAL REHABILITATION FOR FUSHAN MOUNTAIN
The pilot zone of our program is located in Fushan Mountain, Qingdao city, Shandong Province, which is a coastal city in Eastern China. The per capita fresh water capacity in Qingdao is less than 247m3 while the international standard of severe water shortage is 500m3. Even it was in the urban area of Qingdao, Fushan Mountain failed to become an air purifier and was threatened by aridity as well as flood resulted from monsoon climate. Problems to be solved: Once vibrant and covered with dense primary vegetation, Fushan mountain was lumbered and quarried as the spreading urbanization, which has undermined the natural environment and ecologic system there. When the rainstorm comes, the water canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be reserved in Fushan Mountain and a flood may erupt intimidating local residents. Main features and innovative points: This program tackles with the problem of the water reservation first.We come up with three strategies of reservoir construct, aiming to change Fushan Mountain into a reservoir with ecological resilience. First, foster a diverse phytobiocoenose in Fushan Mountain in a rational artificial way. Second, design an installation to dispose raindrops including collecting devices for sea fog and arched facilities to prevent water loss according to the ecological environment and terrain slope Third, build a public park for local people and city farms in the flat areas at the foot of Fushan Mountain.

SMART DESIGN TO BUILD RESILIENCE - FUTURE HABITATS OF BAIYANGDIAN, XIONG' AN NEW AREA
The site is located in Xiong’ an New Area, which will be a world-class new city in the future of China. The Baiyangdian Wetland is the ecological green core of the Xiong’an New Area, but now its ecological situation is not optimistic. The domestic sewage of the 88,000 inhabitants living in Baiyangdian has brought a huge burden on the wetlands. At the same time, many abandoned reed fields can not play the role of purifying the water quality because of the extremely poor connectivity. We used UAV and water quality detector to carry out detailed investigation and data collection of abandoned reed fields in Baiyangdian, and established several 3D models. After analyzing the ecological structure of the Baiyangdian Wetland and various data on the reed fields, we propose a strategy to enhance the connectivity of the reed fields and create a variety of habitats for birds. The new reed field can purify water of the present wetlands to restore the health of the wetland, and it also improves the ecological chain of the wetland through building bird habitats. The wetland is more resilient and provides strong support for the ecosystem stability of Xiong’ an New Area. Based on the data of UAV aerial photogrammetry, we quantified the design results and calculated the specific water purification of the new reed field, which provided a basis for the implementation of the scheme.

ACCUMULATION -REBIRTH
- THE BALANCE AND REGULATION OF THE CATCHMENT CELL EVOLUTION AND CHANGLING LAKE DRIED UP ISSUE In order to deal with the dryness of Changling Lake, the mechanism of water-collecting cells evolution will be used to solve the problem. The water-harvesting cells are scattered blocks in the fishpond area, farmland area, and Changling Mountain forest land area in the site. They are all independent blocks before the site reconstruction, and lacking regional adjustment flexibility. The strategy of this design: on one hand, is to activate the water collection area block which was not active; on the other hand, forming a flexible water self-regulating system, ultimately achieve balanced and stable ecological environment among various blocks in the region. The key step is the treatment of fish ponds, by setting artificially floating wetlands and then using natural succession, it will be transformed into wetland and the setting of the water circulation system between the catchment area and the Changling Lake area. The treatment of farmland areas let parts of them transformed into reforestation, and other parts of them transformed into a rice-fishery symbiotic system, so that the originally isolated economic units are integrated into the entire regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ecological cycle, achieving economic and ecological win-win, and maximizing regional functional flexibility.

TWIN VILLAGE SYSTEM
- COMMUNITY BASED DISASTER MECHANISM
The project focuses on a volcano site called Mountain Bromo which is located in the east of Malang city, Indonesia. It is an active volcano and there is a minority nationality called Tenggernese. They believe in Mt. Bromo and view it as the god of universe. The unexpected volcanic eruption happens from time to time and it is reported that these people are unwilling to remove from their hometown for 200 years. After research, it is speculated that the main drive of this human-volcano pattern is that although these guys have to undertake the short term risks of the volcano, they can get benefits which can compensate the negative effects from the volcano in the long term. Tengernese attitude toward the volcano is that they view volcano as an opportunity rather than disaster or frightening thing. Based on this ideology, the project try to reduce the negative effects and strengthen the benefits of disaster. A new disaster mechanism is developed based on community. The goal is that new mechanism could not only help villagers survive a disaster but also strengthen the community in the term of public engagement, social equality and education. The main concept is to further develop twin village system in the way of developing villages connection space. These space connect different two villages so they can work together no matter with disaster preparedness or daily business in this space. After the strategy deployment, these tenggerese villages will be a resilient system with community vitality.

"REVITALIZING KALUTARA"
-RESPONSIVE TOURISM ORIENTED FACILITATIVE LANDSCAPE
Kalutara is the major city located in the Kalutara District, Western Province, Sri Lanka. The town’s name is derived from the Kalu Ganga River (‘Black River’ in native Sinhala). Kalu Ganga Estuary and Kalutara were highlighted areas within Sri Lanka in history due to different reasons. The sand bar act as the barrier to control the effect of ocean waves. In the present day, Kalu Ganga Estuary area is environmentally and socially degraded. This project is basically focuses on regenerating the whole area by conserving the environment. Kalutara estuary is especially importance due to the sand bar and the forest patch. Due to the sand mining upriver and wrong method of cutting the sand bar during the last rainy season, the estuary is under a huge threat of losing its structure, ecosystem and beauty. Environment degradation in the site context • High erosion of the coastal line and sand bar area. • Embankment degradation. • Vegetation degradation. • River bed degradation (sand mining). The first phase of the project is aimed on conserving the degraded area. The degraded sand bar will be supported by a sand retaining structure to provide the ability to fill up back as it was. It will also reduce the embankment erosion due to ocean waves. Planting concept is going to be used to regenerate the degraded vegetation. It will also supports to retain the soil. The second phase of the project is catered as the facilitative landscape for the tourists.

MAGIC UNDER THE MANGROVES
The project is located in Tuy Hoa city, Phu Yen province, Vietnam. Decades ago, the immigrants were well-off with a friendly environment. However, in the past few years, with the disappearance of mangroves, the area was vulnerable to severe coastal erosion, typhoon, biodiversity reduction. People cut down mangrove forest in order to produce rice and shrimp. There are farmland or shrimp ponds on the deltas, river banks and coasts. In the absence of mangrove protection, many natural disasters occurred and large areas of farmland and shrimp ponds were abandoned. All these have increased the poverty of the residents. Now we hope to create a resilient ecosystem by restoring mangroves. Our team has designed a stable and permeable bamboo dam and device that balances the settlement and loss of soil. Then, mangroves will be able to grow there again and there will be a biological explosion. Deltas on both sides of the river will become mangroves forest and wetlands. Residents donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to fear their farmland and shrimp ponds due to the protection of mangroves. And they can also earn some money through mangroves, processing industry and the development of tourism. Eventually, people live in harmony with nature and form a virtuous cycle of economy, nature and society.

RENAISSANCE OF STEPWELL, RESILIENCE OF SURAT Surat is located on the bank of the river Tapi and at mouth of the Gulf of Khambhat. Affected by the monsoon, the annual rainfall distribution in the region is extremely uneven. As the 4th-fastest growing city in India, Surat is losing its ability to withstand seasonal climate changes and has received disasters frequently due to rapid urbanization. Crisis:Surat faces risks of flooding, extreme heat, subsequent health risks, and seawater intrusion caused by excessive use of groundwater. Strategies: Establishing three kinds of stepwell and connecting them in series into an urban resilience system. 1. Excavate the first-tier stepwells at the weakest place near by the existing dam to hold flood water and use the earthworks to build a new and higher dam. These stepwells also become new agriculture and recreation space for people. 2. Build the second-tier stepwells in the original large-scale green space to relieve floods, which can not only supplement groundwater and cool the city during the dry season but also serve as large-scale public space. 3. Construct the third-tier stepwell on the street scale. Combine the stepwells with rain gardens and green roofs for rain collection and create public cores of communities. Innovations: Inspired by stepwell, a traditional Indian water facility, our design aims to allocate the drought and rainy season water resources by adding and transforming the functions of stepwell to increase cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s resilient ability. While solving environmental problems, it also provides public spaces and emerging industries.

"BREATHE UNTRAMMELED"
ShaoHai Wetland Park is an important part of network in DaGu river system in the JiaoZhou bay. It is the national largest wetland park dominated by city flood control functions , north China’s largest artificial freshwater lake. Need to solve the flood threat, a perennial water-logging and flooding, whenever the DaGu river is high water level during the flood, the flood flow backward, DianZi river and YunXi river cannot pour out water and easy to form water-logging. At the same time, water pollution can lead to eutrophication, reeds and other plants make silting fast.The measures in “Urban ecological rehabilitation programme” are not suitable for all venues. Invest much money, but outside species don’t grow well,the ecological benefits are reduced instead. In order to improve the storage capacity of the site and make it more resilient,we design to dig silt in the center of the site and use it to build up floating island; Braid the ecological revetment, restrain the growth rate of the plant, change the shoreline of the lake, avoid silt fast deposition; Construct underwater ecological landscape equipment, perfecting the ecosystem, improving water pollution, restoring the vitality of the lake and establishing a sustainable and stable ecological space;Develop suitable plants to attract people to participate in.

REBORN FROM THE ASHES :
RECONSTRUCTING THE HARMONY BETWEEN INHABITANTS AND WILDFIRE BY FIRE-RESILIENT LANDSCAPE APPROACHES Daylesford is a small town in Victoria, Australia. Before urbanization, the fire was an important part the local aboriginal people’s life. They used the fire to create and protect their settlements , and to manage the planting and hunting . However, during the expansion of the city, due to the excessive use of manual intervention to extinguish natural fires, combustibles gradually accumulated, causing large-scale uncontrollable natural fires, which caused great personal injury and property damage to local inhabitants. This project is based on the principle of “small fire extinguishing large fire”, using small-scale high-frequency natural wildfires and artificial arson to digest natural combustible materials, thus reducing the risk of large fire and possible losses. The innovation of this project is to divide the fire into three types of land: forestland, water area, and grassland according to the location. Based on this, we use the different ratios of plants, terrain, water, and devices to build a variety of flexible combinations：the fire transition zone. This zone is capable of self-digestion of fire and uses fire as an element to achieve ecological, landscape, and industrial benefits. Through this kind of fire-adapted practice, we hope to restore the local traditional fire culture and realize the harmonious coexistence between inhabitants and wildfires.

MOUNTAIN RESERVOIR:
FLOOD PREVENTION, WATER STORAGE, MOUNTAIN RESTORATION
Mountain Fu is located in Qingdao, Shandong, China, north of the Yellow Sea. The top of the mountain is full of fog and air humidity, but there are problems of soil erosion and drought. At the same time, the serious destruction of vegetation is due to historical reasons and artificial quarrying. Cause the fact that precipitation in Qingdao is mostly concentrated in July and August, it is prone to flooding in summer and drought in other seasons. The phenomenon threatens the safety of surrounding residents. Issues that need resolving: 1. Incomplete plant community and poor water storage capacity. 2. The effect of the interception of vegetation is poor, and the flood season is prone to flood disasters. 3. Residents who have been displaced because of the destruction of the mountain environment have always wanted to relocate their homeland. Key features and innovations: 1. Use water collection devices to collect the vapors from mist and tidal winds for plant growth and groundwater recharging. 2. Planting pioneer species to restore vegetation, attract animals, improve biodiversity, and form a complete food chain. 3. Establishing urban farms to provide conditions for residents to return. 4. The complete ecosystem has improved the flood control and storage capacity of Mountain Fu. Then it becomes a huge reservoir. During the rainy season, water can be stored to prevent floods. During the dry season, the reservoir provides water to relieve the drought.
Precipitation: The average annual rainfall in Fushan Bay and the surrounding coastal areas is 7378 mm. The annual rainfall is concentrated in July and August, which is 48% of thetotal annual rainfall; and the winter rainfall is small.
Design Notes Project Overview: There is a huge contradiction between the flood and the drought and the water and soil loss is serious in the project site. The whole mountain is destroyed. Design idea: Collecting the tide wind through the water collecting devices to solve the drought in the mountain and ensuring the normal growth of the plant.Then solving the problem of soil erosion and restore the ecological cycle of Mountain Fu. Relieving the pressure in the flood season through landscape measures such as underground water storage tanks, and minimizing the damage caused by flooding.

The project is located in Guiyu Town of Shantou City in China, which is a major pollution town of electronic garbage in the world. The local irregular electronic disassembly operation, electronic waste incineration and sewage discharge have seriously affected the local soil and water environment. Located in the low-lying coastal city, Guiyu is a serious waterlogging area, which is affected by storm surge. After the industrial transformation, the employment of local residents and urban expansion also put great pressure on the local environment. In a nutshell, the main environment problem faced by Guiyu is the loss of biodiversity. The operation of the local river, farmland and urban ecosystem is greatly hindered,and the lack of biodiversity weakens the resistance and resilience of Guiyu to natural disasters, hindering the steady development of the city for a long time. Faced with these problems, we design a green infrastructure project based on wetlands. In the early days, it is like a stretch belt and elastic mat to absorb garbage,pollutant, floods, and meanwhile release organic matter, energy to enhance the biodiversity of region. Over time, our design work fully exerts the spontaneity of landscape changes in time while allows the three ecosystems(river, farmland and city) to form a sustainable ecological cycle. Formed by different types and layers of elastic bands, it is just like an immune cell, which links all kinds of areas to develop a functional composite elastic network and makes Guiyu Town immune and resilient.

BLUEPHILIA
Desertification and land devastation are occurring worldwide due to rapid urbanization. These phenomena are not limited to the natural environment, but also to urban areas, which is called urban desertification. Jeju Island is a popular tourist attraction with about 30 million visitors per year, so it is actively developing the resorts, shopping malls and etc. As a result, urban desertification is under way, with the temperature of the city rising and the level of underground water gradually lowered thus the soil is becoming dry. Therefore, we will try to solve the urban desertification by mimicking the Gotjawal, special forests and terrains of Jeju Island. we have defined the landscape as Bluephilia, which mimics the ecosystem or nature. To solve this problem, we want to apply various concepts ‘ Underlane, Underline ’ : The ‘Underline’ is the line that represents the highest level of groundwater, and the ‘underlane’ is the line that limits the depth of a building’s cutting according to the ‘Underline’ ‘ Blue vessel ’ : it is the natural flow of water into artificial recharge well connected to aquifers through the process of mounding. ‘ Vertical Canal ’ : It is created to flow directly to the aquifer using a pipe. ‘ Bluephilic Planting ’ : Including the common multi-layer planting structure, we plan to design that the roots are multi-layer. Through these designs, we think it will bring about a chain of benefits such as saving groundwater and improving soil, eventually saving the city.

URBAN LIFE OF WETLAND
Huashiying urban village located at Beijing guomao CBD, surrounded by tall buildings close to live, as international trade last village, a large number of tenant in the arrival, site use population diversity, business activities, and so did the vivid and active public life, become the lowcost market. But outside the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s jurisdiction, residential problems are breeding, and in the past, most of the treatment of urban villages in Chinese cities has been demolished. Huashiying has great internal value undiscovered, but its future existence and peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s residence is still a big problem. Design thinking from the perspective of the relationship between village and city, mainly solves the habitant living nowhere to release and public space messy disorder problem, based on the spatial structure and occupant of the huahsiying originally spontaneous life building, creating multiple space, meet the demand of habitant diversity of small scale to promote the communication between different people, stimulate the space of narrative function, so as to find the value of urban villages inside huashiying, and unearthed a huashiying development of ecological system, support the continuation of the huashiying culture and regeneration, Become a city living wetland that can function spontaneously and deliver nutrients to the city.

BREAK THROUGH THE GARBAGE SIEGE With urban development and population growth, the amount of urban waste generated in Beijing has gradually increased, and a large amount of waste that is difficult to handle has surrounded the core urban areas, causing serious environmental problems and social problems, leaving Beijing to face the dilemma of “garbage siege”. Problems: 1.In Beijing, where land resources are in short supply, landfill-based treatment methods have been unable to dispose of urban garbage, and new waste disposal methods need to be found; 2. The public opposes the establishment of waste incineration plants because of concerns about environmental pollution. The treatment of toxic substances after burning needs to be resolved. Project Features: Multi-scale coordinated planning. Sustainable recycling models replace existing unsustainable waste disposal methods. From disordered processing to orderly use. Garbage becomes resources, and space is rationally dispatched and value fully utilized. At the same time, with the ecological restoration, the green land will be returned to the city. Innovation: In a resource-harmonious and coordinated use of resources, combined with technology, the garbage will be converted into natural elements and natural landscapes, artificial landscapes, and natural urban ecosystems for social development will be operated. Turn garbage from the dark side of the city into a positive one.

This project is one of the six increasing retention pond project in eastern Bangkok managing by Department of Drainage and Sewerage. It is in suburb of Bangkok where nowadays are risk of urban expansion like housing estate and commercial area. The concept of water management is integrated typical Bangkok retention pond design with rice field which is the original site context. It is a form of polder that can collect the water already. Unlike the typical Bangkok retention pond that do not take concern in ecological factors and system is illegal. The purpose of project is to adapt water management with the suburbs area. Which using rice field context can reduce the problem of urban sprawl and deal with the global warming that causes the unusual weather such as localized clusters rainfall for example using rice field that connect each other with main canal to distribute water volume in canal to low rainfall intensity areas. The traditional rice cultivation learning center and using rice field with water management would reduce the expansion of the city to the suburbs or agricultural areas which is the area for collecting water before flow through the inner city. It can also be used as a pilot model for water managing of the retention pond and rice field to the rice fields around the suburbs. Without buying land, but make agreements with farmers in the area to help increase flexibility and quickly to provide water catchment area when the sudden climate change.

1980 1994 2002 NOW Bangkok built-up area expansion has changed from development through waterways to transport routes. The city has continued to expand to the suburb causing housing estate and commercial area increased without controling the urban sprawl and efficiently developing the inner city. So on, the problem of inappropriately land use such as encroachment on suburban farming or flood risk areas which used to be water catchment area before the inner city has changed.

THE GROWING LINE
Makoko is a water community in lagos, Nigeria. For nearly 100 years it has thrived on the fishing and sawing industries - Providing over a third of lagosâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; fish supply and most of its timber. It is an area with high population density, yet harsh living condition. No modern infrastructure is provided while industrial and domestic waste and leaking oil is flowing right under their feet. Makoko people are confronted with great challenges from both outside and inside. The starting point of our strategy is the two major type of waste flowing in the lagos lagoon, which are oil and sawdust. At the beginning, sawdust is collected through a Multilayer device and packed into a module, which can work as oil absorbent. As the oil is absorbed, the modules can be recombined, part of which form water filters under the houses of the Makoko community, while the others can form floating bases for agriculture use. In this way, thousands of clean fish pond and planting box can be established to recover the agriculture and fishery industry. In the third phase, the community will gradually form several open spaces for waste collection, medical treatment, education and training, as well as trading. In conclusion, we are offering an idea to use one waste material to fight against the other one. During this process, we can create a resilient community providing ecological, economic and social benefit for Makoko.

Situated within premises of an obsolete steel factory in Shanghai, encompassed by polluted rivers and degraded soils, the site calls for a landscape renewal regime that transforms a derelict industrial site into an ecologically resilient university town through three thoughtful strategies to use on-site resources. The first strategy is to compensate the degraded nature by conducting soil and water remediation with a water treatment wetland, allowing site to be capable of tolerating future water contamination disasters. The proposed wetland contributes to remove the total amount of nitrogen up to 76.3%, to produce potable water for 25,000 people a day, and to meet 100% of water catchment requirement of a 100-year rainfall event. The second strategy is to recycle and reinforce existing soils to enhance biodiversity heterogeneity, allowing avian species to thrive and improve ecological resilience. 75.1% of the soils will be recycled to create new aggregations to increase the number of habitat type from 5 to 11 types including hillock forest and freshwater marches, which an increase of 26 avian species including endangered migrant birds. The last strategy is to activate social spaces such as sports facilities on newly created hills, walking trails along riverfront, and research facilities retrofitted into usable industrial warehouses. Resilient waterscapes are created through the use of transitional zones for both water and people, all in a bid for users to connect more closely with nature. Specific industrial relics were retained, transformed and to be amalgamated with the new landscape, as remembrance for future users

THE SHAPE OF WATER
India’s Cherrapunjee, which has the title of “the world’s rainy pole”, but the loss of precipitation makes it impossible for residents to guarantee even basic water use during the dry season. In response to this sharp contradiction, we set out from the original site, designed from the four aspects of water diversion, water storage, clean water, and water saving, and made a series of water facilities. Different forms of water are connected into one system to form a good water cycle. And hope to solve this problem of long- term ecological restoration and traditional farming patterns.

GREEN VALLEY ELASTIC ENDS
The valley landscape restoration plan is aimed at the problem of city shrinkage.The valley we choose is a typical landscape in Loess Plateau Region,it is just like the nerve endings in human brain. This city which has a thousand years history suffered badly from the environment damage caused by long-term coal mining. Just like hundreds of small cities of the mining area in the northwest of China. Our plan proposes a strategy to green the valley by developing the green infrastructure construction as well as implementing the ecological engineering. In addition, the project concept which reflects the local cultural features motivates the city vitality as well as brings economical benefits. Inspired by the â&#x20AC;&#x153;ancient wiseâ&#x20AC;?, our plan tries to build a complex system including water storage,efficient use as well as the soil erosion mitigation and reconstructed local biological community. After restoration,the coal mining pits become the gathering center for local people,where nature met culture again in harmony.

Dealing with challenges of global warming and future climate threats, the coastal landscape is at a vulnerable state. Falsterbo peninsula, located in south of Sweden, is facing sea level rise, flooding, and coastal erosion in the future. What is the most resilient approach in a longterm perspective? Should we integrate, protect or separate ourselves from the water? Archi-pelago describes an architect’s way of connecting islands, or in this case a series of tactics for coastal protections. The outcome of the project creates several opportunities to not only protecting us from the water, to see new possibilities to actually live with water or to use the water as a possibility. The proposal is based on tree design principles. Each principle constitutes of a number of tactics to be implemented of the site of Falsterbo peninsula, depending on the site’s conditions and character. The principles and tactics form together a coastal protection. The integrating approach aims to integrate a life where water is seen as a possibility rather than a problem or obstacle. This principle refers to solutions where you slowly adapt the society by “living with water” and integrate the changing coastal landscape. The protective approach aims to protect interest, for example economical interest, built-and natural environment or cultural heritage. The separating approach aims to separate and move away from the water with the purpose to protect certain interests. This could mean that buildings or even nature have to be relocated to safer grounds where the water can not reach.

Dealing with challenges of global warming and future climate threats, the coastal landscape is at a vulnerable state facing future extremes like flooding and sea level rise. With the contrasts between the romanticised view on the coastal landscape and the vulnerability due to water related events, how can we live with water? Or reverse, can we live with water? Falsterbo peninsula, located in south of Sweden, is at a vulnerable state facing sea level rise, flooding, and coastal erosion in the future. What is the most resilient approach in a long-term perspective? Should we integrate, protect or separate ourselves from the water?

SHELTER
Early in 2018, the blockbuster ocean storm, also known as the “bomb cyclone”, plastered America with blinding snow and sting winds. From North Caroline to Maine, many areas witnessed double-digit snowfall totals (Boston saw 13 inches). The storm made a massive effect on not only human beings but also nonhuman beings. Take sea turtles for instance, nearly 1000 sea turtles were trapped and rescued totally in this storm. While there are still many creatures being affected by the increasing extreme weathers day by day. In such a highly urbanized area, this time, we choose some sites of Boston to provide “flexible shelters” defeating the extremes better.We made designs to three types of places desperately. For the first type, we chose the extension of the main stem and put the biomimetic coral reef to provide habitats for ocean creatures, where the seaboard was severely hit and even to be corroded by the storm in the future. Besides, this structure weakens the wave effectively. The second mainly depends on one theory of breed aquatics, which helps to defend the fishes away from storm. We put some wind shields in the form of platform, thus providing space for both people and animals, especially the dying sea turtles. In the third design, we transferred hard concrete into eco-concrete in the hard wharf. By this, the habitat for both plants and shellfish is created. When disaster comes, besides human, disappearing animals also needs to be taken care specially.

FROM THE LAND
Establish a holistic planned grazing landscape system to reverse desertification in Hulunbuir Desertification is regarded as an earth cancer and there is a huge threat to the global environment. What is even more serious is that poverty leads to the more irrational use and exploitation of land and natural resources in the short term, and desertification and poverty are aggravating and creating a vicious cycle. China is one of the countries with the most serious land degradation in the world. Due to the overgrazing and unreasonable mining, the Hulunbuir City in Inner Mongolia has caused serious desertification, which has serious impacts on the local ecology, economy and society. In order to seek the coexistence of ecology and economy, we propose to use the most primitive nomadic activities on the site to reverse desertification. The program builds a holistic planned grazing landscape system from the ground, the surface to the ground by mimicking nature. The entire system forms a mutually supportive topology to improve stability in the planar space and three-dimensional space, in order to deal with the impact of external factors. In addition, the regeneration of pastoralism and the restoration of grassland ecology have improved the living environment of local residents and brought economic income. Finally, people continue their more vigorous vitality and ecological sustainability by natural gifts on the site.

ALTERNATIVES TO THE DAM
-RESHAPING THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN FLOOD AND INDIVIDUALS OF DHAKA
Most of the rivers in Bangladesh come from the Himalayas. In the past, temporary flood during the monsoon season would fertile soil and the water was regarded as treasure for the people. However the global warming have been caused the amount of snow in the Himalayas melt grows which has increased the frequency of flooding. Now the water has become the shadow of Bangladesh. The homeless rushed into Dhaka. The rapidly growing population, vicious urban expansion inevitably happened. Increasing dams have been built to protect the city.Besides, the decline of agriculture caused by flood has accelerated the development of industries at the expense of the environment. Flood as well as fragile Dhaka is worrying. Problems: We hope to implant a series of effective methods at the border area in Dhaka, if the dam no longer exists, which could enhance Dhakaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s resistance to flooding, and to resolve the ecological issues brought about by rapid urbanization and industrialization in Dhaka. The main features and innovations: First, select a protruding area which contains factories, green areas, residential areas and docks beside the River .The dam will be demolished and only preserved the traffic function.Then five methods will be coordinated to form an elastic system to reduce the impact of flood on the city step by step.Plus, we will also introduce water into farmland and fish ponds which contribute to reshape peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life before.

In the process of rapid urbanization, many developing countries have enjoyed many benefits from environmental resources and have also encountered many crises. The destructive deforestation of peat swamp forests in Southeast Asia has caused many problems. Such as flood, large amount of CO2 emission, loss of biodiversity, haze and disease. Problem: Local residents farm palm oil on peat swamp forests to pursue better life. The main problem is how to balance environmental protection and economic development, to look a new way of development. We need to solve the ecological problems and explore new ways of land use. Specialty and innovation: We use weirs to solve almost all problems. First, blocking canal weirs could keep peat wet with the assistance of wells. Water management is the key point of peat restoration. It could reduce fire and CO2 emission. Also, it is the foundation of regeneration of peat swamp forest. Then weirs could help residents to develop new life stylesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;â&#x20AC;&#x201D;to carry forward the traditional fishery and the new oil microalgae culture which not only can perfectly adapted to the local environment but also is good oil palm industry alternatives. The last, weirs can be open space for local residents. We do our best to restore peat swamp forest and paint a longterm blueprint for development.

JAKARTA 2080: SYMBIOCITY SCENARIO What kind of development model would a city have to construct if it achieved the balance between urban development and natural succession? This design intends to construct a resilient city in southeast Asia, where it is most likely to be flooded with water over ten years. Jakarta is the capital city of Indonesia. Overexploitation of groundwater has led to severe land subsidence and approximately 40 percent of urban areas are below sea level. At the same time, rising sea levels caused by global warming has sped up the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sinking. In addition, surface water pollution and seasonal floods have also hindered the development of Jakarta. In order to deal with these problems, this design has attempted to put forward some suggestions. Firstly, people need to transfer their minds. Resilience concept reflects the tolerance of natural process and explores some methods to balance city development with nature. We use the DNA double helix to describe the relationship between the two, namely that they are indivisible and interdependent symbionts. Secondly, part of city space should be returned to nature and allow nature to grow. Meanwhile, Urban development should be a part of the natural process. Finally, building a salt-fresh water conversion system in Jakarta to deal with the seasonal flood, land subsidence and sea level rise in different stages.

ELASTIC SUCCESSION
The Bangladesh government plans to relocate all of its factories in Hazaribagh in a very short period of time because of serious pollution problem. The policy cannot solve local environmental problems rapidly and it will bring about unemployment of about 16,000 tanners. The area will be faced with environmental issues left by tanning activities and unemployment problems for a long time. From the perspective of the Elastic Landscape, a series of new problems have been brought about by the reduction of the source of interference. We hope to ease the situation that may exist in other regions through new models and increase the resistance and resilience of the site. We adopt a strategy named simulate secondary succession which applies the concept of secondary succession to the regeneration of regional industries Through the investigation and assessment of the site, we propose a planning strategy for the phased relocation of leather factories, and the orderly introduction of new industries based on jute agriculture during the relocation process. It makes unemployed workers can be involved in the whole construction activities from putting up to educating, which allows the renewal of sites and the differentiation of workersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; skills to proceed simultaneously. In the phased relocation strategy, our specific method: A. A rooftop nursery as a green reserve to implementing the introduction of crops and land remediation at the same time. B. Functional transformation of the core factory area. C.Multidimensional greenway combines with complete industrial chain. D.Organic differentiation of workersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; occupations.

THE DRAINAGE FILTER FOR THE EVERGLADES IMAGINING A NEW BASIN 8
IMAGINING A NEW BASIN 8
To deal with the pollution issue that pose impacts on Everglades water quality, this proposal provides a cost-efficient alternative and improvement to expensive treatment infrastructures in the Everglades. The increased filtration areas are planned on current and future available land. The transformation will happen firstly in public open space to construct the fundamental infrastructure, which also serves an education function to the private sectors who could follow incrementally to further improve the drainage filter system. The strategy doesn’t prohibit ranch-related activities which are the major pollution sources, and function of the original drainage system is maintained as well. In transforming current available lands, living quality is highly improved as we experience the aesthetic value of green infrastructure, which also needs collective efforts from people to help enhance the resilience of the proposed drainage filter system.

Everglades
With the urban developments, human activities degrades the ecosystem in the Everglades and brings many related issues. One of the issues is that: Water quality has been degraded in large parts of southern Florida by human activities that result in high nutrient concentrations and over-enrichment. Sources of nutrient enrichment of ground water in southern Florida include fertilizer application, storm-water runoff, and wastewater disposal. Nutrients such as nitrate and ammonia present in high concentrations in ground water may pose a threat to human health because most drinking water in southern Florida is from ground-water sources.

Due to the high concentration of nutrients in the Everglades, we have seen a growing trend of invasive species occupying the wetland which threatens the balance of its eco-system.

Could current vacant residential lands be planned as a part of filter network?
The Everglades is a wetland preserve in Florida, USA. It provides unique values for local ecosystem and people in surrounding cities. However, with rapid urbanization in last century, the Everglades was artificially drained by canals to give way to increasing development. What used to be the Everglades has been transformed into part of our cities. In the process of urbanization, the water quality of the Everglades has been severely degraded by special industries (such as nursery and ranch) resulting in high nutrient concentration and over-enrichment. As a connected aquifer system, the pollution of the Everglades inversely influences the drinking source for the city. Government are paying tremendous bill for the purification of the Everglades. Intent and Strategy. To deal with the pollution issue that has posed high pressure on water quality, the main concept of this project is to increase the distance between the pollution sources and the Everglades which is calculated along drainage flow routes. Constructed wetlands, swales and vegetated buffers would be applied along the routes, which is an effective and economical alternative and improvement to current water treatment infrastructure in the Everglades.The proposed filtration areas are planned on current and future available land, and the function of the existing drainage system is maintained. The living quality is also improved by the aesthetic value of the landscape infrastructure, which encourages a bottom-up implementation of the resilient system.

Designed wetlands would quickly transform existing undeveloped or low valued lands into a highly efficient ‘filter‘ land, where perimeter landscape buffers increase length of the soft waterfront edges. By planting indicated species, the functionality of water treatment would be improved in these areas.
Right of ways permit operation to pass along a specific route through grounds or property belonging to another. In our proposal, they could be fully taken advantage of because of its public ownership and be utilized as a connection corridor that could convey water flow with high concentration of nutrients into our designated wetland filter area. In the meantime, horse trail along these corridors could be planned for tourists to experience in-situ ranch lifestyle to create more economic benefits.

The macro elements of nitrogen and phosphorus are contained in these products. They would remain in ground soil and stay in the top layer for a long time. Ultimately, they would be drained into canals directly with runoff and flow into the Everglades, threatening its sensitive ecosystems.

DISTANCE MATTERS: From Pollution Sources to the Everglades To deal with the pollution issue that has posed great pressure on water quality, the main concept of this project is to increase the distance between the pollution sources and the Everglades which is calculated along drainage flow routes. Constructed wetlands, swales and vegetated buffers would be applied along the routes, which is an effective and economical alternative and improvement to the water treatment infrastructure in the Everglades. The drainage filter system would improve water quality, since most of the suspended solids settle out in standing water and many of the nutrients, oil are filtered out as water moves through the soil. The increased filtration areas are planned on current and future available land. The function of the original drainage system is maintained. In constructing and transforming current available lands, living quality is also highly improved as aesthetic value of new landscape filter system.

We take this change as an important eco-experience possibility that makes it flexible and adaptable to future climatic challenges simultaneously. This implementation process could happen incrementally.

Extraordinary landscape can be achieved through the year viewing from inside of houses. It brings serenity, contemplation and meditation to your life. Thus, don’t hesitate to plant these eco-friendly and beautiful plants in your back yard!
Bearing in mind the fact that more people would settle in suburban areas in Broward County, to meet this expectation of future development, a new type of building not only provide more units but also adaptable to build in wetland area would come onto stage. It provides great views over the open space and it is fun to live in the wetlands. This would be a different experience for you to live in this highly naturalized place and feel proud to take these semi-public space as a bonus for your life.

RESILIENT SPREAD -ECOLOGICAL RESTORATION DESIGN ALONG THE QINGHAI-TIBET RAILWAY
The Qinghai-Tibet Railway, as a product of urbanization , resulting wave of construction, has created an irreversible crack in the land. This project is located in Golmud City, which is crossed by the Qinghai-Tibet Railway. It is in the initial stage of urbanization. However, there are degradation of pastures and desertification of land, the demand for urban expansion is increasing. Once serious natural disaster arrives, it will suffer major trauma and will be difficult to recover. We choose the most intensified areas of contradiction on both sides of the railway, with a view to softly intervening on the site through resilient means to make development ecologically secure. 2.Issues to be Addressed (1)Desertification (2)Recover ecologically by resilient means in a fragile environment (3)Take the economic benefits into account while reconstructing the landscape (4)Sustainable development of landscape ecology and resistance to unknown natural disasters 3.Main Features and Innovations (1)Using â&#x20AC;&#x153;root--branches--tipsâ&#x20AC;? as a prototype to organize a spread belt with expansion force centered on the railway, and a root-like retaining wall to achieve wind-blocking and sand-fixing (2) The use of fixed sandy soil for vegetation restoration and Tibetan medicine cultivation. There is elasticity cycle regulation between vegetation. Creatively proposes a dual landscape and economic recovery strategy for the sustainable development of agriculture, animal husbandry and medicine. (3)Focus not only on the current status of the site, but also anticipate the occurrence of desertification in the future to make it resilient. (4)The project has phase integrity and implementability, natural evolution and human participation combined to form an organism that is in harmony with the environment

CO-EXISTENCE
BASIC INFORMATION NATURAL EFFECT ON CITY
Wetland Lost [1]
Since the beginning of the industrial revolution, the urbanization process has been globally rocketed. On the one hand, the rapid accumulation of urban population and socialeconomic activities has caused great damage to our global ecosystem. On the other hand, hydrological, climatological, geophysical and meteorological disasters are the heavy prices that we human society has paid for. Among them, hydrological disasters are most frequent and closely related to human life. Different from traditional hydrological strategies, we encourage cities to use their original capacity from natural system to absorb the energy of natural disasters and transfer it into sustainable resources conducive to urban life. In this project, we chose Thamesmead (a London district built on original marshland that has been subject to flooding from the regional climate and River Thames for years) as a pilot project. By transforming the existing public spaces in the process of urban renewal and simulating the ecological structure of original marshlands, we could build a district-wide hydrological buffer system by accumulating all public spaces as a whole. This would also provide a multiple and diverse environment to bring people closer to nature. We hope that our concept can reverse the stereotype of how people deal with natural disasters around the world, and become an exemplary design method for addressing similar problems in the future. As a result, the symbiosis between human and nature is achieved.

JUST FOR PANDAS
- CREATING RESILIENT HABITATS FOR PANDAS IN SOUTHERN AREA OF MINSHAN MOUNTAINS
Most of the existing studies of resilient landscapes are aimed at a city, a society, or the resilience of human beings. However，our design, from the perspective of rare wild animals, takes the favorite pandas for example to create an resilient habitat for them ， we design just for pandas. Our design gets its innovativeness from creating resilience aiming at another subject ， in the prevention of disasters, resistance to disasters and the recovery these three aspects, we put forward various specific problems faced by pandas nowadays, and then from the study of the behavioral activities of the pandas, the building of suitable habitat and the reference as well as improvement of the national public garden system ， we also put forward the pertinent measures and suggestions. We believe that through this design, we can make use of the resilient landscape to create a resilient natural area for wild animals such as pandas, to minimize the impact of human and natural disasters, so as to achieve the protection of the pandas and to help its natural reproduction.

DISSOLVE THE FIRE
In December 2017, the Thomas Fire caused tremendous damage in California. Accordingly, we hope to create a resilient landscape between the natural forest and the cities to reduce losses. First, according to the Central Place Theory, we design three service radiuses from the first level to the third level. They establish fire control zones with different levels of intensity, which seem as buffer zones between cities and forests. Secondly, this program proposes three improved design based on different fire prevention strategies including intelligent planting devices, animal protection devices and water collection devices. Intelligent Planting Devices has a system of sowing seeds and a system of weather monitoring. Animal Protection Devices are set up near watershed which can attract animals to the refuge during different stages of wildfire. Water Collection Devices are distributed along seasonal river and can store seasonal rainwater, so it can provide water for both sides of the shelter forest. We hope this proposal will fill the gap in the existing fire preventive solutions.

EMERALD NECKLACE -RESILIENT LANDSCAPE DESIGN OF JIUZHAIGOU VALLEY CENTERING ON RESCUE SYSTEM
Jiuzhaigou valley is a world heritage which survived a 7.0 earthquake in 08.08.2017.The wonderland was terrifily destoried,buildings was ruined and the roads were callasped by rockfall.Worst of all,many priceless natural landscape was also disappeared .After a series of analysis ranging from site to humanistic culture,we came out the solution 4R stratages(Relief Ready Response Recovery)to against the damage brought by earthquake. The new way aims to improve the road system,alarm system,recovery system as well as three different types of shelters in order to protect the natural environment and people. The shelters connected in series in the entire scenic area through the improved escape channel. Their different service scopes intersect with each other and eventually completely cover the entire scenic area.Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more,these shelters are not only shelters but also places which can provide local people,tourists various kinds of activies in normal days like restingă&#x20AC; .They are decorated with different landscape technique which makes it look like a emeral necklace in the wonderland. Another merit is using ziplines to connect two one-way roads isolated by mountains.In this way,we make the road form a loop system while do no harm to the nature. We want to protect this earthly paradise through the way which respect humane and nature, just make the emeral necklace a protector to the wonderland.

HEALTH + RESILIENT AGING COMMUNITY
The plan is based on the outbreak of Chinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s silver tsunami. With the most serious aging, and the most thorough family planning, there are a large number of one-child families in the traditional Lilong community located in the center of Shanghai is the object of study. Serious air pollution are caused by rapid urbanization . Pollutants in the air are carriers of the virus. Older people are susceptible, and the highly densely populated communities they live in are often surrounded by tall buildings. Poor ventilation conditions make it easy to accumulate large amounts of dust, which let lilong community become pathogenic space and cause the rapid spread of the disease, especially the outbreak of influenza,We urgently need to build resilient communities to deal with these risks so that they can maintain normal and healthy operations when the risks come. Before the influenza outbreak, the program encouraged the elderly to have healthy outdoor activities to increase their immunity. When influenza comes, program stopped pathogens and cut off dust transmission routes. We investigated regions where people are often active, designed space formed microclimate for activities, which can reduce the risk of susceptible populations being exposed to pathogenic space. the plan set the garden within garden which can help people recover according to the walking distance of the elderly, so that the community can quickly return to normal operating conditions and finally the city can quickly adapt to this demographic change and develop steadily.

1)The River Evolution In order to obtain moe land,People fill the sea ,so that,the shape of Hengmen Island is changing from 1883 to now.And fill the sea cause the width of Hengmen Waterway narrower.More water,narrower waterway cause this area is always flooding. 2)The Seawater Intrusion With the rapid development of city,people need more water to produce and live.Domestic water is needed more,and water storage is less.Thus, the level of the Pearl River is lower. When the level of river is lower than that of sea,the saltwater will intrude in.The saltwater intrusion will affect freshwater,and agriculture and fishery also will be affected. 3)The Flood Hengmen Waterway is located in Zhongshan where the climate is Subtropical monsoon climate.Lots of rainfall and typhoon is its geographical features.Thus,the floods happen in each year and drown the land,destroying the village. 4)Industry Agriculture and fishery are the main industry in Hengmen.There are lot of Mulberry fish pond here which is a great advantage to store water and purify water.But the problems above,lots of lands are declining and amounts of farmer are laid-off.This area is declining.

THE EARTHENMIGHT
1. The Status The site is the largest reservoir in the Western Cape Town, South Africa. The water level of the reservoir has been gradually reduced Since 2013. It is conformed that the city will no longer be able to draw water from the reservoir and also become the world’s first water-cutting country. 2. Design Ideas The main causes of the reservoir drought: • The capacity of rainfall has decreased every year. • The water system of Cape Town has a simple structure and related to the reservoir. In addition, the terrain and vegetation also have a impact on the reservoir’s water storage. we consider a ecological and natural way to restore the reservoir’s water in order to fundamentally solve the problem. 3. The strategies The following three measures to improve the reservoir: • Earth landscape ①The reservoir is topographically modified to form a variable large number of water collection pits. ②To put a water collection tower on the pit to collect the water vapor and rainwater in the atmosphere; ③choose plants which can improve the soil at the bottom of the pit; • Collecting wells ①Using a water conservancy to make full use of groundwater resources; ②To set the valve system to balance the water volume. ③The water collected to supplement the reservoir and agricultural irrigation. •Activity space and vegetation choice ①the modular combined plates to provide different space for residents ②plant local vegetation species adapt to different habitats.

SPACE CHANGE TIME
The design plot is located in the Tajma region of Bolivia, where long-term monoculture of Coca (Coca is a raw material for cocaine and Bolivia is allowed to grow, but production of drugs is not allowed) has led to loss of soil fertility; in recent years,Coca has continued to expand its acreage. It also led to the expansion of the area of deforestation and caused soil erosion. We mainly propose solutions to the problems of soil fertility loss and soil erosion in the region. For the loss of soil fertility, we propose the filling of coke residue, crop rotation and intercropping, etc. For soil erosion, we propose a stepped catchment and solid soil, and a rainforest rhombus. Block cutting and so on. We also hope that through our measures, we can appropriately raise the standard of living of local residents.

RECONSTRU CTION OF SPACE LAN DSCAPE U N DER CHONGQI NG'S RIVERSI DE
The project is located in the waterfront space under the Dashigou Binhe Viaduct in Yuzhong District, Chongqing City. It is an urban riverlevel fluctuating belt along the Riverside Viaduct. It is about 1000m in length, varies in width and width, and has an average width of about 60m. Since the downstream is the Three Gorges Dam, Therefore, the water level in the four seasons changed significantly. The normal water level of 174 meters or less is a section where floods infringe more frequently and should be built in various forms. According to different types of sections, the design flood level and the current conditions will adopt corresponding transformation measures to activate the space under the bridge and strengthen the connection between the “under the bridge” and “waterfront”. As a typical landscape city, Chongqing has a unique mountainous terrain that has made its urban construction more difficult. The Riverside Viaduct solved the contradiction between the unique topography of mountainous cities and urban transportation, but brought many obstacles such as destroying the original riverside landscape and blocking the mountains. Continuation of the ecology, resulting in a large number of urban problems such as lost space, noise, and automobile exhaust. We activated the viaducts and surrounding sites through ecological rebanking, the installation of movable fishing platforms, the installation of solar guides, and a series of fun event spaces. At the same time, we ensured that the viaduct remained in an orderly manner after the opening of the community policy. , High security, and can use limited urban space to continue to serve people.

Our design is an ecological landscape designed for solving problems caused by mosquitoes in the Ngao River Basin,which is our design field.There are huge number of mosquitoes spread almost all over the chosen site,causing residents and livestocks infect with the virus and also influence the local economy.Therefore we are planning to build three defensive lines in ecological ways for local villages to resist the invasion of huge number of mosquitoes. The first line is in residents’area.We hope to reduce the low-lying environment of mosquito breeding by planning drainage system to drain away village sewage and rainwater emissions.We also design mosquito -repellent lamps,insects and plants and combine them with the local landscape,not only for mosquitorepellenting,but also for landscape viewing. The whole biological system can improve the hot and humid weather as well; the second line is in the field area.It is a combination of mosquito-repellent plants and local commercial crops,and also some mosquitorepellent insects to rich biological diversity;the third line is to build groves on the periphery of the residents’ area to bring in the wind , to reduce steam in the air. Through these strategies,we put mosquitoes into the villages as an entry point and set up three barriers for the invasion of mosquitoes, aiming at reducing the number of mosquitoes, improving the environment of villages and towns, and improving the economic development. Our aim is to enhance residents’ living quality,reduce the infection rate of different virus caused by mosquitoes and balance the mosquitoes’ quantities.Also improve the local economy through these three defensive lines.

Extraction
Convey/Consume
The primary form of extraction in this area is fracking for natural gas, creating large well pads and phenomenal volumes of wastewater. Visitors can immerse themselves in a geothermal pool, heated with geothermal energy extracted by a converted former oil or gas drill site. The volume of water in the pool equates to the volume of wastewater returned to the surface over the lifetime of one natural gas well (Extract Geothermal Pool).
Extracted fuel is taken from the site to the point of refinement and consumption via pipelines that extend out across the landscape. Rather than screen the highway and associated fossil fuel consumption from view, the proposed highway crossing highlights these views, focusing the gaze of visitors (Convey Highway Crossing).

FRACTURE examines our complex relationships to residual energy landscapes in the north, framed primarily through the lens of the traveler. Focusing on the landscape along the Alaska Highway in northeastern British Columbia, this design re-envisions the “non-place” of the industrial roadside as a place of experiential connection, highlighting the heavily fragmented boreal forest left behind by decades of intensive resource extraction. FRACTURE draws the public into the narrative, tracing back to the initial byproduct of this extraction: seismic exploration lines. With projected recovery times of over 100 years in sensitive ecosystems, these lines have a monumental impact. As we look toward a future that embraces new forms of energy, this project encourages a reimagining of the transfigured landscape, exploring novel ways in which industry and public use can co-exist while working toward landscape recovery. From a geothermal pool that is heated by repurposing existing oil and natural gas wells, to an observation tower that reveals the monumental extent of the fragmented landscape, FRACTURE invites visitors to consider their own relationship to the energy they consume in their everyday lives. Test plots are proposed for both the upland and lowland areas of the site, enabling researchers to explore methods for improving seismic line recovery, including planting black spruce seedlings and fireweed. By providing a testing ground for management techniques, and an opportunity for visitors to engage with a landscape they have typically been excluded from, FRACTURE works to spark dialogue and critical thinking about the future of energy and rural landscapes.

Site Inventory + Analysis The complex nature of northern energy landscapes led to a detailed site inventory and analysis process that looked at multiple landscape scales. This started with the entire Alaska Highway Corridor, stretching over 2200 kilometers from Dawson Creek in British Columbia, through Yukon, and terminating at Delta Junction in Alaska. The most concentrated area of oil and gas production along the corridor is in the Peace River Regional District (PRRD), which was mapped in detail. From there, a contextual site was defined based on the pacing of travel along the Alaska Highway, and a natural stopping point for travellers. Finally, a project site was defined by a significant legacy seismic line that formed a strong axis with the highway corridor. VEGETATION FIGURE/GROUND

EVIL'S GOLD
The Kawah Ijen volcano has gradually become the representative of the regional volcano culture of Java based on its magnificent volcanic landscape and precious mineral resources. However, the highly acid lakes with pH value of 0.5 in the crater make it like the evilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gold. In 1921, a dam was built to regulate permeation but failed, unexpectedly highly acid Banyupait-Banyuputih River formed. This river destroyed the ecological environment, threatened peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s safety, and caused great pressure to the economic industries. Our design is to construct a natural-circulation, sustainable-adaptation and multi-functional pond landscape system around BanyupaitBanyuputih River which can respect nature, protect ecological environment and play economic benefits. This system respect nature by retaining the symbol and activity of the volcano, and injecting new vitality for its development. Meanwhile, it will neatly deal with various activities of volcano by using local agricultural wastes and topographic catchment to help realize the neutralization and dilution process in the highly acid Banyupait-Banyuputih River, thus forming stable natural ecological environment. The pond landscape system will also promote diverse and organic industrial structure to create greater economic by integrating agriculture, planting and tourism. In the future, we wish the pond landscape system will take the initiative to create more positive benefits, addressing abroad range of safe, history, ecology and economy, thus promoting the sustainable common development of human and environment.

Also, I found that the peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s demand for High-tech industries is also getting higher, but Wuxi is a city resident population has been lost, although vigorously develop High-tech industries, but can not retain Hightech industry talent. Above all, a key aspect of my concept has been to attached to the existing high-tech electronics industry, and create a tech town circle with ecological benefits to replace the original polluting industries. At the same time, it is hoped that through these new high-tech towns, we can absorb the surplus labor force due to the shutdown of polluting factories. So these tech towns can through industrial metabolism to have more resilience to meet the needs of people and nature.

RELIVE AND ALIVE A SCHEME FOR NATIVE TO CONVERT E-WASTE In social ecosystem, resilience refers to the adaptability, transformability and sustainability create d by local residents, which can be used to solve disturbance arisen with social development. Accompanying the unprecedented advancement that the third industrial revolution and globaliz ation have brought to society is the dumping of E-waste. As a consequence, certainc social e cosystems are seriously undermined. The site, a scrapyard named Agbogbloshie, is located in Accra, Ghana, Africa. Due to the conflic t between its value and threat, E-waste has given rise to various problems such as environmental p ollution, energy scarcity, diseases and so forth in Agobogbloshie, however it create a relatively i ndependent community. This proposal formulates some strategies to help residents build a community. Residents, as the cor e of the community system, use E-waste to establish a resilient community system. The proposal pr eserve the site’s original spatial structure and plans to update it gradually. The schemes have f our parts: E-waste recycling and knowledge center, phytomining and environmental restoration, rene wal of living spaces, and the introduction of tourism and other new industries. The objectives are a s follows: 1. Recycle E-waste to improve the livelihood of local community; 2. Increase the resid ents’ income; 3. Restore the ecological environment in the long run. 4. In the future, it will beco me an electronic knowledge center to demonstrate the harmonious relationship between people an d electronic products and finally awaken people’s awareness of environmental protection and recyc ling E-waste.

ALIVE SANDBAR
Kirzlesu River is located on the edge of Kashgar City, northwestern China. The most significant feature of the overall environment is “sandy” : sand in wind and in water constantly threaten the river ecosystem and the urban environment. Especially during the annual flood season, floods carrying large amounts of sand continue to wash the riverbed, making the sandbar constantly changing, and therefore unable to cultivate plants, resulting in a very fragile ecosystem. This design draws on local traditional wisdom to improve the environment by shaping the platform. In addition to flood protection embankment, a sediment storage dam at an angel of 45°is added. Fluid dynamics simulations show that it can create extremely low velocity water area. Therefore, sand settle, resulting in a relatively stable growth trend of sandbars. In this context, the vegetation structure will continue to be enriched, enhancing the stability and resilience of the ecosystem. Besides the sand in water, we design a number of windbreak against the sand in wind, forming many leeward zones inside and outside the river, which is suitable for plant growth. In general, this design addresses the sand in the environment, including sand in wind and in river, and proposes corresponding design strategies: resist and absorb disturbances, transforming flood from a negative disaster into a positive influence. Ultimately, the river ecosystem is developing positively, achieving “revolutionary resilience” and providing a stable landscape recreation space for the city.

SILENCE RECREATION CONTINUE This is a design on the subject of silence·recre ation·continue，which is located in Hechuan District, Chongqing, China, with a site area of approximately 115.6 hectares. Hechuan District is an area under the jurisdiction of Chongqing Municipality and is located in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River and northwest of Chongqing City lying at the junction of the three rivers of the Jialing River, Qujiang River, and Fu River. Each year, the Jialing River flood peak passes through Hechuan, bringing with it severe seasonal floods and causing local Water pollution, soil erosion, and reduced biodiversity，which has greatly affected the development of regional economy. Based on the above issues, we have adopted a series of measures to manage flooding. We use the principle of loop flow to achieve automatic diversion, automatic adjustment of water flow and automatic sand removal, ensuring that the site does not collapse in the rainy season. Sedimentation of silt at the bottom of the river also can be used to develop the sand transportation and sale industry to achieve industrial circulation. With the solution of the flood problem, a series of issues on the site will be resolved, and the biodiversity of the site will gradually increase. At the same time, it will also promote the development of agriculture and tourism, making the regional economy develop rapidly.

ONE DAY, ONE LIFE
With the massive influx of refugees into Germany, German society is facing tremendous pressure from all quarters. Due to huge language and cultural differences and different social issues, the refugee generation is unpopular and even rejected by the locals. Some of them have to protest or violence. Demonstration to seek social status, the integration of the refugee generation and Germany has become difficult. The future of the second generation of refugees is very confused. Therefore, we decided to start from the perspective of children by easing the relationship between refugee children and local children, thus bringing together the refugee groups. The design was unfolded slowly through the day of the refugee children. Through the transformation of the old walls, the organization of the communication between the two regions, the creation of under-forest space, the creation of communitysharing space, and other major measures, the refugees were originally isolated outside the city. The incommunicable forest belt has become a space for refugees to integrate into the local cities. This â&#x20AC;&#x153;Berlin Wallâ&#x20AC;? may have new meanings. In the end, a flexible cycle of culture and mind will be formed to return the children to a beautiful childhood.

The commuities have their own traditional land-use plans. The hill teracse is suitable for agricultural field, the floodplain is where they can do rice production and fisheries. Within the limitation of natural resources,they have traditional knowledge to get along with the landscape dynamic in different seasons. In wet season (Aug-Dec) with the highest water level they can not do agriculture as much as other season, but they can find plenty of immigrant fishes along the river and flooded area. In dry season (Jan-Apr) the water level is gradually decreasing, fishes still can be found in the river and drainign flooded area. Local forest foraging can be done all year.

Local government has constructed roads, retention ponds and a flood gate to serve industrial intensive agricultural practices, regardless of the natural landscape. Thus, these industrial changes lead to biodiversity loss and landscape degradation. The project’s objective is to recreate healthier watershed for community stability and food security. In adapting the water management and ecological service restoration, Landscape Designs is, therefore, divided into three stages. The first stage begins with reconnecting water flows into the basin and creating Riparian Buffer Forest; this stage involves the use of traditional knowledge focusing on water management. The second stage proposes rotation agricultural land use. The final stage is to redesign community social spaces. This project brings about positive changes in ways of living for the locals as well as creates balances between the community and the environment in collaboration with multidisciplinary teams of the government and the communities. With bright prospect of this initiative, Wiang Nong Lom community will be able to live sustainable lives.

Mekhong River DEC
“Wiang Nong Lom” is an intermountain basin in Chiang Rai,Thailand. The lowland basin area is in Mekhong sub-watershed. The area is characterized as a floodplain of Maelua river, a tributary of Mekhong river which creates many riverine wetlands all along the site. This floodplain is under the seasonal influences of Mekong river, Maekok and Maelua river.
Wiang Nong Lom, the intermountain basin in Chiang Rai, Thailand, is an important natural resource with evidence of human settlements since pre-historic era. The livelihood of Wiang Nong Lom was based on landscape dynamics. This site is a seasonally intermountain floodplain under the influence of Maelua River, a tributary of Mekong River. The community lifestyles have changed to serve Chiang Rai urbanization and industrial development. The season-based traditional agriculture and fishery has evolved into industrial mono-crop agriculture.

RESILIENT COASTAL HABITAT FOR REFUGEES This competition is focused on Lampedusa, Italy, which used to be famous for its beautiful coastal scenery, but in recent years, because of its geographical location, a tide of refugees came to the island as a stopover for the entry of Europe, caused five major problems on the island, such as ecological carrying capacity crisis, inadequate capacity crisis in urban infrastructure, food supply crisis, water shortage and garbage pollution. In order to prevent, alleviate and adapt to the problems caused by the uncertainty and elasticity of the refugee tide, five design strategies are proposed: 1.building replicable marine modules in the sea space to increase the use of the refugees; 2.on the module, set up floating residence on the basis of the number of refugees; 3.increases elastic planting bed and breeding ponds to get the source of food on the island; 4. rainwater collection and seawater purification; 5. recycling waste material on the island to build a variety of devices. At the same time, because of the constant change in the number of refugees, all kinds of devices can be duplicated and removable, and the ecological, social and economic balance on the island is maintained. In the process of refugee tide and refugee migration, the ecological, social and economic balance of the island is maintained from the change of living, self-sufficiency to ecotourism, and the design model can deal with the coming of the next refugee tide.

“Tick Tack:Let the space of cultural exchange be spread like the ripples created by water, droplets by injecting constantly changing and renewing elastic communication veins into the village.” The project is located in Xiaozhou village, Guangzhou, Guangdong province, China, an ancient village with Lingnan water features. But Xiaozhou village is too crowded to build a special space for communication..What’s more the local population is mixed with the floating population, and there is a lack of opportunities to communicate with each other. We take Xiaozhou village as an example to explore the flexible development of cultural exchange of Urban Village in the rapid urbanization process.And the space of cultural communication will be implanted with the diffusion of point - line - plane..To develop the village culture flexibly and adaptively for community mobility by building landscape space which affects community relationship lastingly.

TRIPLE HELIX RIVER MANAGEMENT IN THE LANJIANG As an ancient city, the rise and fall of Lanch’i was because of river. Its flood problem could be alleviated through the design of Tricolor Helix. The Green Helix: Firstly, the overflow area that was part of river’s natural drainage capacity before, which dies down gradually because of the block of hard damming. The design is using the floodplain effect of the river bend to take up the deluge, which to lighten the pressure of the riverway. Secondly, recover river in city as well as farmland area, and to build landscape banks with cascade wetland along the riverside to reinstate its water-holding capacity, as well as improving the landscape environment. Meanwhile, fully utilize the nutrient wetland after flood receded, to develop self-sufficient urban agriculture through replantation industry of the riverside exploitation. The Blue Helix: we decide to solve the problem by the repairation of damaged lake that close to the river, and try to increase the number of new lakes. Furthermore, we take full advantage of the lake’s water-holding capacity to accomplish the shunted design. From blocking the flood to obtain the flood, as well as absorb and utilize with it. The Gray Helix: enhancing the power of water percolation of urban rainfall and adopt the principle of rainfall circulation; which bring about the function of water storage and filtration to the landscape planting.

BON VOYAGE
The Samburu county, which is located in the northeast Kenya, is a semi-desert district with clear dividing line between rainy seasons and dry seasons. The Samburu people have lived with a nomadic lifestyle which they have traditionally held to be superior compared to the agricultural lifestyle. They migrate with following the water and pasture. However, the extremely climate changes in recent years is making the district become dryer in dry season. This makes the massive reduction of available water and pasture. Meanwhile, the population explosion is putting heavier survival pressure on both Samburu people and their livestock. As a result, the severe drought occurred in Kenya in the early 2017 have caused millions of people suffer in hydropenia, starvation and death. We raised doubts that the traditional Samburu nomadic strategy and technique cannot resolve the problem. We choose one of their nomadic areas with a radius of 20 kilometers, which contains habitat in both rainy seasons and dry seasons as our site. In both habitat, we use new strategy of water managing, planting, living quality improvement. In the same time, we addressed the innovations such as new singing well form, new public space in Manyatta, etc. The goal of this project is to improve the living quality of Samburu people and to help them resist local environmental threats, especially severe drought.

THE ADAPTIVE CITY
This project aims to conceptualize and articulate the adaptive city, the city in a state of flux as it responds to changing environmental, programmatic, market, and sociocultural conditions and circumstances in Boston. The project places emphasis on the contingent, the provisional, and the conditional, and to amplify productive instabilities while inventing new types of urban and landscape form. Landscape offers a distinct starting point for the project of city making. On the one hand, landscape has the ability to address and integrate the multiple environmental, infrastructural, social, and scalar challenges at play in urban design. Furthermore, it can also uniquely absorb and hybridize these multiple functions and initiatives in ways that architectureor planning alone cannot. On the other hand, landscape offers operational frameworks and modes of working that emphasize dynamics, change, and improvisation/adaptation-mechanisms that are as much in play in ecosystems as they are in cities. Consequently, my project will use landscape both as medium and as mechanism for testing and prototyping ideas on city making. Rather than understanding them as opposites, it will emphasize connections and hybridizations of urban systems and environmental dynamics. And it will utilize working methodologies that privilege experimentation and iterative modeling-playful and critical prototyping-that could suggest pathways toward new landscape-based approaches to urban form.

LIVING ON THE TREMBLING EARTH
In the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake, the disaster ruinously struck the mountain town Yingxiu. It was the deadliest earthquake hit China since , which damaged 87.5% of the construction and 72.3% of the total population was injured. The devastating destructive force of the disaster almost brought the whole town to death in a flash. Now, a decade has passed, the town which had almost been razed to the ground was rebuilt at the very original location. However, the basic environment of new town is still unstable, and the possibility of serious geological disasters is still remained. We must consider that if such catastrophe hit again whether our living environment has enough resilience to survive form the crisis. For this goal, we hope to create a unique landscape geologic emergency tackle system witch can instantly response to geological hazard and play a long-term significant role after the catastrophe. We analyzed the basic elements contained by the regional environment, city and landscape. And we redefined the relationship among the various elements from the perspective of coping with geological disasters. Based on the time line after disaster took place, we set up a landscape system which has the resilience to cope with the different task of emergency disaster avoidance, building up lifelines, city reconstruction and landscape restoration.

RITUAL REMEDIATION A SPECULATIVE ATLAS
RITUAL REMEDIATION A SPECULATIVE ATLAS The speculative atlas is an open-sourced guide to an uncertain future. It is the catalyst for grass-roots action and the progenitor of a new resilience. This atlas serves as a roadmap of possibilities by which communities, designers, governments, and institutions can navigate the unpredictable future in real time. Sea level is the datum by which ritual is organized around, not inhibited by. This project responds to the threat of sea level rise in the communities embedded in the marshes of the New Jersey Meadowlands. The atlas is intended to sustain, prolong, and provoke the social infrastructure of the Meadowlands through a series of phases and designed interventions, catalyzing community action and imagination.
IGNITING COMMUNITY IMAGINATION
POVERTY DISTRIBUTION
HOMEOWNER DISTRIBUTION
COMMUNITY PARTNERS
Through distinct insertions and ambiguous provocations about life in the future Meadowlands, we encourage community members to fill in the blanks, writing and enacting their own stories based on our initial excitation. Unfolding in small moments or over decades, these interventions generate a proliferation of futures for the Meadowlands, grown in the generative incubator of rich community dialogue, housed in mascots, prophecies, landmarks, and legends, and engaged with through the practice of everyday rituals. We argue that resiliency and adaptation in the face of climate change cannot be accomplished without the imagination of the communities affected. Through this project we intend to provoke the larger conversation surrounding sea level riseâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;currently dominated by a language of fearâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;by providing this tool for imagining a future of possibility and hopefulness in an uncertain future.

- USE THE ECOLOGICAL LANDSCAPE BALANCE TO SOLVE SOCIAL PROBLEMS IN SLUM
This design mainly uses landscape design to solve the problem of toilet in Mumbai slums, and a series of problems caused by the problem of toilet, which is the original purpose of our design. The concept of the ecological toilet is put forward in this landscape design, and the concept of ecological recycling is applied to the toilet, which solves the problems of sanitary environment, energy supply and social crime around the slums, and provides a better and more comfortable living environment for the slums! At the same time, we have made full use of the economic benefits of the landscape, making the ecological toilets a tourist attraction, creating a different and special tourist environment for tourists. It can not only make the tourists feel the real life of the slums, but also give the tourists a different view angle. Through this landscape transformation, we hope that the lives of the poor will become better and better. I hope they have a home of their own.

RECOVER AND ALIVE
On August 8,2010,ususually intense monsoon rains triggered devastating landsides and floods that buried a densely populated area in the center of the city in Zhouqu County,Gansu. To reduce disasters and improve the economy,We propose four strategies to solve the problem.1.The introduction of three systems leads the place into a vibrant one in order to reproduce the former landscape, finally ensuring local residents can live a more diversified life with spiritual fulfillment that the working-day of them stretches from dawn to dusk.2.Building a favorable compound system of agriculture, forestry and animal husbandry, changing the original economic structure aimed at developing agriculture, and then improving the land use patterns, reducing the risk of natural disasters, can enable the development of regional economy into a virtuous cycle.3.Setting up a virtuous ecological water cycle can accommodate sufficient rainwater in the rainy season. 4.Founding better debris flow prevention and restoration of forests systems, changing the existing land use condition, and gradually improving the security of residential areas, can eventually help inhabitants get complete rid of the invasion of debris flow.

THE PATH TO SHAMBALA
The project is located in Seda County, Ganzi Prefecture, Sichuan Province, China. The area features Buddhist culture as the main feature. The Larung Buddhist Academy in Seda is the world’s largest Tibetan Buddhist Institute and tens of thousands of Buddhist come to practice. Due to the site topography and location restrictions, the construction of the shacks is disorderly, with less infrastructure and poor environment, which has seriously affected the daily life of the shackles. We analyze the daily needs of Buddhist, and in the context of respecting local religious customs, we must solve the problems of Buddhists’lives and improve their living environment in the form of multi-functional integrated corridors. While building the corridors, we will upgrade the infrastructure and buildings, and the use of water bodies. By implementing the multi-functionality of the corridors, more possibilities will be given to the venues. The project name is “The path to Shambala”. “Shambala” is a transliteration of the Tibetan language, meaning the ideal Pure Land, intended to express the hope that it can bring a good spiritual environment for Buddhist. Based on the unique terrain of the site this feature, we set part of the corridor space on the roof and use the house room under the corridor as indoor public facilities space. This is our innovation. In this way, the idle space of the site is activated, the vitality of the public space is enhanced, and the multi-functional integration of ecology,life,production,and economy is achieved, thereby achieving the purpose of a virtuous circle.

EDGE ISOMORPHISM
Rapid urbanization and regional imbalanced construction have led to the emergence of “urban villages” in mainland China. This dense and messy area is the only place in the city where it can be “updated” with its own continuous evolution. People won’t willing to live in such a poor environ-ment in the future. So a decent solution is desperately in need. However, what we need to do is not to reinvent and design on a colossal scale, but to engage in this evolution by tapping into it. Problems and developments at different times have led to the requirement for different environments. If we reconstruct a part of it, the edges of the updated and unupdated zones will be produced. The edge between these two zones will form the elastic space of urban development. Elastic landscape keeps asking the city and people what is the future we want?

Facing the theme of this competition, our understanding focuses on the contradiction between economic development and ecological environment.Past the backward economic development model for local ecological environment has brought a lot of negative effects, how to use human intervention to assist, using the natural self-regulation for environment of selfimprovement, achieve the goal of â&#x20AC;&#x153;elasticâ&#x20AC;?. Alang is contaminated with long coastlines and has a wide spread of pollution,making it difficult to achieve purification through machanical collection and filtration.The daily tides make the coast water level more than 9 meters up and down. Simply planting along the coast will not play an effective role. First of all, through the plant will reduce pollutants concentration to a certain value, then introduce the microorganism, formed plants and soil microorganism repair system, the effect of the pollutant concentration is low, remove microorganisms, repair plant, introduced a lot of, formation of plant community, finally reaches the final decomposition of pollution.

There is a large variety of wetland habitat types found around the world and each supports their own community of plant and animal species. In addition to terrestrial and aquatic life, birds also find wetlands to be welcoming places for pit stops during long migrations because they provide protection and food on their long journeys.
Qinsha has experienced different stages of development before. According to the deduction, Qinsha will connect with a shoal in the northwest and they will eventually become part of the urban land, which means there would be no habitat for migratory birds and aquatic animals.
Solution
The evolution of Qinsha Island endangers the survival of wetland species. Meanwhile, it brings new development opportunities. Flooded Level
Building devices to intercept soil brought by Xijaing River so that they will become small islands over the time. These islands contribute in preventing wetland soil from getting wash away.

URBAN REGENERATION
- DESIGN OF RESIDENTIAL ENVIRONMENT IN HAIKOU CENTERED ON WATERLOGGING PROBLEMS
Haikou is located in Hainan Province, the southernmost city in China. Haikou is rich in tropical resources and a city with beautiful coastal scenery. Beautiful natural resources are the foundation for the vigorous development of Haikouâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tourism industry. With the rapid development of economy and the rapid upgrading of urbanization, the natural resources of Haikou are being destroyed, resulting in the imbalance of natural hydrological cycle system. The main city is located on the northern surface with low topography. Once there is a rainstorm, the whole cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rainwater flows through different channels to the main urban area. When rainfall exceeds the carrying capacity of the river, it will cause waterlogging in the main urban area. And, the decentralized green space in Haikou did not form a complete system. So, in the face of waterlogging, these green spaces are not very effective. However, scattered green space is also not conducive to public outdoor activities. Therefore, there are several problems that need to be solved: restoration of the natural hydrological cycle system, alleviating the problem of waterlogging and establishing a systematic urban green space. The theme of the project is urban regeneration. The main characteristic and innovation point is to consider the problem of waterlogging from the perspective of urban design. While alleviating urban waterlogging, it can promote the economic development of the city and enhance the living environment of the city.

Good living to economic depression Ecology: Lush weeds
Plant community stability to single plant community
land deserts
production: a variety of livestock husbandry single feeding livestock plant
After the founding of New China, the original nomadic people changed their way of life from pastoral nomads into a life style that settled in enclosures. This transformation not only brought pressure on the pastures, but also produced a series of problems such as ecology, life, and production. Therefore, ecology, history, and race are issues that we are concerned about and urgently need to solve.

RETURN TO THE SOURCE
Sakai was once a flourishing merchant city with a moat and a trade port. However, the city seems to have lost its splendor with the disappearance of a moat. This proposal is not a narrative of a glorious post-disaster recovery but rather a story of “returning to the source” to regain the city’s resilience. Eco-tanks under the park Underground water tanks built under the original location of the moat recruit and store excess stormwater and river water in case of flood disasters. while it also acts as a drainage control system to quickly drain flood water in the event of tsunami. Stormwater and river water are stored and used to create the water and green landscape in the park and street. A greenway to enhance walkability, onnectivity and community activity The road is rearranged to provide space for a wide range of community activities. The sidewalk is widened with a cycle lane as the dividers were removed. The greenway is an ideal space for street markets, various events, small local business. Its green screens with sprinkling water provide shading effect and water-retentive pavement keep the city cool. The greenway connects major touristic attractions in the area. This development plan aims to improve the physical environment of the city as well as the social aspect of it to foster strong local community and commerce activity. The city will rise once again and regein its strength and resilience as a center of commerce and industry.

-JOINT RECONSTRUCTION AND ECOLOGICAL SYMBIOSIS ON THE SYRIAN-IRAQ BORDER
The conflict of Syria is still not completely settled, there are 6.5 million people are facing severe hunger, severe drought led to desertification and sandstorm further exacerbating the food crisis, also make the conflict more acute, loss of animal husbandry and infrastructure damage conflict has caused a lot of food production, millions of people have been displaced, and the valley of despair. The Syrian crisis is the result of a combination of climate, food and conflict. The Euphrates river straddles Iraq and Syria, and the damage from conflict and climate change affects both Syria and Iraq. So why not unite? The sandstorm weather has been used to make use of sand traps and wind turbines. It also plans to carry out soil improvement and grain planting in the corresponding industrial cycle. The semi-underground space formed by the sand storms is supported by the tombstones of the two countriesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; wars. It has become a refuge, a frontier market, a seed museum, a Syrian agricultural research center, a granary, and finally an emotional and productive suture.

POSTWAR ELASTIC SCHOOL The decades-long conflict in the GAZA Strip continues today, as does the problem of children. The environment in which children grow up has always been so bad that it destroys their growth, which is equivalent to destroying the local future generation. SOCIAL FACTORS: The cause of religion and nationality. Religious; Geographical location and conflict of interests; In Gaza Strip, there were more than 3 million 80 thousand people in 2018. POST-WAR RESILIENCE: Slow infrastructure recovery; Poor flexibility and Single function. School construction is restricted by more conditions, School repair time is longer after damage; Heart repair. The key is to let children return to school, because they need to overcome their psychological trauma urgently, and only school education can cure their minds. SPECIFIC CHARACTERISTICS: Children with physical disabilities.; Mentally handicapped children. Focusing on the education of children in wartorn countries in the Middle East, the resilience landscape focuses on the speed of rehabilitation of school infrastructure and the psychological rehabilitation of children after war. In the case of Gaza, The field school is designed as a large sand table, in which the different types of small mobile spaces, and the container-based teaching building serve as props in the sandbox game.

THE WELL FOR LIFE AND COMMUNICATION The design site is located in slum of Rochina in Riode Janeiro,Brazil.The slum environment is very bad,with garbage piled up on the ground,sewage flowing,traffic inconvenience and water difficulty. Based on these problems,we have made secondary planning for the slum road.retains the original habit of collecting rainwater ,and extends this habitat from individuals to public behaviors .We have divided 90water intake points in the site to meet peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s water demand. Every point has a well.The well we designed is essentially a pool in a reservoir .Rainwater collected by rainwater collection devices of surrounding households is discharged into the planting pond through pipelines,permeates into the next layer of filtration system through purification of plant roots,and is discharged into the reservoir through pipelines.The pressure sensor on the pool wall felt the unbalanced force to open the switch. The exchanged of water in two pools can be realized,thus achieving self-sufficiency in the pool.

IN BETWEEN LANDSCAPE TOWARDS INCLUSIVE COMMUNITY OF MEILAN LAKE NEW TOWN As result of the modernization process and the large-scale development of new town in recent years, the traditional landscape has been completely changed. Large amount of agriculture land was transformed to be residential in new town development, leaving land use of industrial surrounded at the edge area. The local identity is overpowered and there is potential to restore the sense of place by learning from neighbourhood landscapes of surrounded old town. Landscape fragmentations such as blocking water network and the loss of habitats are obvious. Nature resource is overused due to the massive housing and industrial development. There is potential to restore the ecological functions though incorporating the larger ecological network. Inspired by the dynamic old town, the main concept of design is to create resilient landscape that could provide multiecological functions, more interactions between local residents and nature as well as have high productivity for local food supply and economic benefits. Design Innovations: 1. Retrofitting the Waterways and Create Water Recycling System through the restoration and naturalization of canal. 2. Connecting High Ecological Vegetation Patches and Creating Dynamic Habitats for Wildlife by relinking water network and re-inhabiting forest patches.3. Building sense of placement by learning from traditional neighbourhood landscape through the transformation of new programmes.

A WATER ABSORBING BANK
The cities in inland African countries are all short of water. The existence of the Niger River gives the city the space for survival and development. The capital of Niger, “Niamey”, its name also means the “riverbank where mothers draw water”. It shows the importance of water resources to the lives of Niamey residents. However, there are on average two small scale floods once a year and average every 10 years flood threatens people’s life, production activities and impact natural ecological balance. One aspect is the shortage of water resources, the other is the flooding of the river year after year. The main intention of the design is to solve this contradiction. Our project’s title “A WATER ABSORBING BANK” is a good embodiment of our guiding ideology. We want to buffer and use of flood through absorbing and accepting the flood, and to guide the local residents to expand the paradigm spontaneously throught the functional planning of the site.

THE VILLAGE LANDSCAPE POND LANDSCAPE SYSTEM DESIGN IN HUANGPEN VILLAGE In China, ancient villages are facing a double crisis. Firstly, the natural disaster. Secondly, the threat to the cultural protection of ancient villages in urbanization. Reducing the impacts of the disaster and saving cultural memory is important in the protection of material and spiritual assets. Huangpen Village is a historical village with amounts of characters. First, the urbanization has accelerated which makes village surrounded by cities. Second, because of the location nearby the Yangtze River, the village suffers from a long rainy season. The huge amount of rainfall constitutes a threat with the flood disaster. Third, it is the home of Wong Tai Sin culture which has huge cultural value and attracts many tourists. We want to intervene with the pond which is not only a symbol of the spiritual culture but also an indispensable daily facility for local. However, the pond is abandoned or rarely used in Huangpen Village. Therefore, we are redesigning the ponds to focus on the culture and life again. Afterwards, the public spaces around the ponds are designed to transform, set up corridors and finally connect with the riverside. To evoke the cultural sense of the residents, the cultural spirit of the place is highlighted by setting up a planting area for â&#x20AC;&#x153;Daisiesâ&#x20AC;? and a platform for activities.

TRANSCENDENCE PRODUCTIVE LANDSCAPE ACROSS BOUNDARIES Transcendence is a design process model that builds social capital and resilience using productive landscape as a medium to transcend existing boundaries of informal urban residential neighbourhoods in Bangalore. The selected site was chosen for its high social complexity and poor infrastructure condition, serving as a microcosm of the general living condition in Hebbal. This project adopts landscape strategies integrated with local resources, expertise and management to tackle adverse issues faced by the citizens. By aligning various productive landscapes integrated with waste management flow, design interventions link houses to the streetscape, the project accomplishes this through three strategies: 1. Streetscape productive landscape tactics responding towards walkability and water management issues. 2. Proposed communal and productive zoning according to the existing site social characteristics. 3. Improve citizensâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; ideals of waste and ownership of their environment through proposed programs. Serving as a design model applicable to other areas of Hebbal, the project challenges communities to shift from social segregation to a resilient neighbourhood that transcends obstacles and boundaries as one community.

GEOSOCIAL FIELDS
This diploma project constitutes a study on the forces which form and affect Santorini’s landscape, aiming to understand and incorporate them into the design process. The study focusses on an area south of Fira, on the front of the volcano’s caldera, where five inactive mines of theraic earth lie, cut off from their surroundings (area: 860.000 m² and height: 10 - 70 m). The research method began by analysing the area’s peculiarities due to cumulative geomorphological, political economic and social forces and their evolution through time. The study and its mapping led to a deep understanding of the situation: the area is today a hybrid complex landscape, result of the interaction between the natural elements and the human-made activities (agriculture, industry, constructions, tourism). The project’ s systemic analysis and synthesis is based on (i) digital explanatory diagrams (ii) description in layers of the structural systems (iii) 2D and 3D landscape plans and mapping (iv) representation in 3D printed physical models. New spatial compositional tools, functional programs and ecological actions are proposed as an holistic design strategy preserving at the same time the unique characteristics of this impressing landscape. The proposal aims to the creation of an integrated open public space, designed to host cultural, recreational events and research programs. The proposal’s objective is to activate the site and construct a new vivid landscape, as well as to promote alternative forms of tourism and prolong the island ‘s touristic season.

REMEDIATED LANDSCAPE FROM NEGLECT TO VALUE This area of Shanghai, Qilian area, has been agricultural for centuries. However, with the population growth the environmental pollution has become even more serious since a large number of factories in the urban area were relocated to this area over the last 40 years. Now this area will be redeveloped according to future planning of Shanghai government. The issue for this area is how to transfer the contaminated site into livable environment. The project aims to treat the contamination in site and re-use them for the new development. The first strategy is the phase development of remediation, which will be employed to deal with the contamination of soil and water during the process of transformation. In the first phase, the heavily polluted soil will be classified. In the second phase, three ways of soil remediation including capping, stabilization and washing will be applied. In the third phase, wetlands will be constructed to purify water by using the washed soil and stabilized soil will be recycled for construction material. The second strategy is integrating nature into dense new development. Fragmented green patches and waterway in site which has the potential to connect new development and the existing large green corridors will be reserved. Intervention of green and blue will integrate them.

WORKING TOGETHER WITH WATER Climate is full of uncertainties. The frequency of rainstorms in Japan is getting higher and higher. The typhoon that should have been generated near the equator but moving northward, and the scale is also likely to expand. According to the analysis of the Japanese topography and flood risk, different stages of strategic design for dangerous river areas are conducted, and the “eco-patch” designed is used as the main concatenation concept, centering on climate adaptation strategies, public space and ecological restoration, and other issues in the dynamic process. Natural, human and climate change are coordinated with minimization of earthworks. The selected base river spans the region from the forest to the city. Respect rivers’ natural forces, harness land, and use urban space to mitigate flooding. The flood should not be regarded as a disaster that needs man’s resistance, but a “natural change” that can co-exist with people; only by coexisting with the floodwaters and restoring the original flood storage capacity of the river, it can be possible to dissolve people and nature. The more serious the conflict, the less catastrophic it brings. Climate change is not necessarily a drag on the economy, but an opportunity to change and make the country more resilient to the city. The “eco-patch” design is a measure that “will be used later”. These measures not only help the society handle the current climate, but also use it for future climate response.

GAINING NEW PERSPECTIVES
The selected site is part of Dahanu “taluka” (administrative district), which is the lung of the surrounding highly polluted and urbanised cities of Maharashtra and Gujarat states, India. This area is thus particularly important by virtue of its location, and its rich natural resource base needs protection. 65 % of its population consists of the indigenous Warli tribals, who live in small hamlets dotting the foothills of the forested Western Ghats range (tropical moist-deciduous teakwood forest). Most practice subsistence paddy cultivation and are increasingly looking to towns for supporting incomes. Moreover, their age-old, close associations with the forest as its beneficiaries and stewards are slowly disappearing under the ripple effects of rapid surrounding urbanisation. The proposal strives for ecological security + economic development through experiential design – to build an inherent resilience within this rural landscape & its people to sustain their environment friendly traditions whilst making economic progress too, thus dealing with the pressures of urbanisation in a productive way. This is proposed through a system that’d revitalise the mutually beneficial relationship between the Warlis and their forest. It’d comprise of 3 components: (1) Productive Forest Fringe: Social forestry on fringe, to prevent degradation of deep forest due to over-exploitation (2) Supporting Haat Area: A local market for the social forestry harvest & related products. (3) Connecting Cycle Trail: Minimal interventions along this route attempting to direct attention to the landscape & cultural values that are on the cusp of change, which could lead to meaningful reflection for the observer.

WHERE CITY MEETS THE WATER
After centuries of urban development encroaching upon Shanghaiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shoreline, time has come to weave water back into the urban fabric of Shanghai. In recent years, Shanghai has been disturbed by storm surge and faced with the risk of sea-level rising. In order to confront with extreme weather and minimize the loss, this project proposes water distribution areas in the upper stream of Huangpu River and three types of flood control system. Designed flood storage areas can flood new terrestrial zones, with flooding functioning as one of design operations utilized to establish new waterfront neighborhoods. Two different prototypes provide efficient ways to help the city resurrects when faced with storm surge or typhoon. One emphasizes the reaction to the waterfront in urban land, the other focuses on the rural area. Designed terrain and construction, combined with features of water functions, provide the city with safety insurance and natural and artificial activity space.

REACTION BETWEEN DISASTERS Saltwater tide is a natural disaster frequently occurring in coastal areas. When the freshwater flow is insufficient, the brackish and fresh water mixing causes the upstream river water to become salty, that is, the saltwater tide. The main harm of salty tide is to affect the industrial and agricultural production and destroy biodiversity. We selected the design site in the Shangbiandan Reef area of Shanghai, China, where there are two natural disasters of salty tide and flood, And two kinds of disasters occur in different seasons. Therefore, in the design, we hope to break the uneven distribution of the time and space of the flood and the salty tide by the means of the resilient landscape, and prolong the residence time of the flood in the area affected by the salty tide, which is combined with the characteristics of the sandbar growth in the bottom of water. Fresh water collected and preserved will interact with saltwater in winter to alleviate the negative effects of disasters. The design through the least artificial intervention to control the changes in the shape of the sandbar in the water, and introduce the concept of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ecological Gridâ&#x20AC;?, and divide the site into different areas, such as water drainage area, water storage area, culture area and so on. For a long time in the future, the sandbar will continue to grow and form an ecological wetland with the functions of ecology, education, and more adaptive ability to the disaster.

THE UNDERGROUND GREAT WALL
ECOLOGICAL RESTORATION BASED ON KARES Our site selection is located in the Central Turpan Basin in Xinjiang, China. It is in the southwest of Flaming Mountain , the north of Lake Aiding. Half of the area is desert and the desert gradually erodes the oases. The drought is very serious. Problems: The reduction of ground water resultes in the reduction of Kares , and the decrease of Kares also reduces the collection and storage of ground water. The reduction of the Kares exacerbates the degradation of the oases , and the degradation of the oasis also indirectly leads to the reduction of the Kares well. The space around the Kares well is single, resulting in the Kares well not integrating well into peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lives. Concepts: Use kares to solve the problem of desertification from both ecological and human aspects. Ecology: Solve the problem of local water and oasis reduction. Human: Solve the problem of single space around Kares.

REBIRTH IN FLOOD RESILIENT MEASURES TO COEXIST WITH FLOOD IN URBANIZATION Seasonal floods in the Mekong River have led to varying degrees of damage to the surrounding cities. We choose can tho in Vietnam as a typical example. Due to the flat terrain, the floods caused by seasonal rainfall directly impede the urbanization of the city. We choose three points that are the most affected by flood in three different areas of urbanization development as nodes. Adopt flexible strategy to enable flood into the region while still adapting to the development of urbanization. The specific measures cover 1：flood storage in wasteland；floating house in flood zone,flood storage in wasteland 2：flood relif box & store soil；buffer forest & new dewelling,flood relief box & store soil. 3：land prepare for urbanization；resilient farming & land prepare for unrbanization. We hope problems can be solved by all the solutions that we raised in our images.

REBIRTH OF BAY
The site is located in the north-west of Hainan Province, China named as Danzhou Bay. The reason why we chose it is that the bay is considered as a classical example. Meanwhile, it has the salt land as its historical natural resource. The salt land stands for thousand years along with the traditional reproduction of salt. However, with the rapid development of the urbanization, construction of city facilities, harbors and sea-crossing bridge all affect the reproduction, biodiversity and self-defense ability of natural. These devastations will not only destroy the salt land or farmland but also threat the whole environment. Therefore, by observing the topological structure in the normal way we saw a hint in it. It can be used in our site only when we combined the phenomenon with the structure. We called it the resilient structure rooted on the topology. The attractive thing about it is that this structure helps the habitats in the site become more stable and feel more protective. It offers more possibilities for the whole defense system which is more than the habitatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s self-defending mechanism. By pushing this structure, we are safely arriving to the possible conclusion. We predicted that the site will stand less than 40 years at first, however, it will stand more than 80 years after implementing this structure. We are looking forward to the continuous of the magnificent sceneries in the bay.

ANCIENT PERSIAN RESILIENCY SOLUTIONS IN MODERN URBAN LANDSCAPE OF YAZD, IRAN The project is located in the city of Yazd, Iran. With 2000 years of civilization, Yazd is among the oldest cities in Iran. It has a brilliant heritage of identity, history and culture. And it is recognized as a world heritage site by UNESCO. Unfortunately, nowadays, Yazd is meeting with several challenges such as extreme drought, heat and dust hazes. Which were getting worse during last years, as well as biodiversity loss and earthquake which have converted into national challenges too. Some of these challenges are not new, they have been there for thousands of years. Because of generations of adaptations to its desert surroundings, Yazd has a unique Persian architecture. It is nicknamed the “City of Windcatchers”. Although Yazd used to be resilient to extreme conditions of drought and heat for centuries, most of its resiliency solutions have not been used any more, since last century, when the modern agriculture and architecture went prevalent. Since most of Iran’s territory has arid and semi-arid climate, Persian gardens are also good examples of making areas resilient to extreme heat and drought. In this project we have investigated the history of Yazd as well as Persian traditional gardening in order to find traditional resiliency solutions for them. Then we tried to design a landscape project based on mentioned solutions to make it resilient to extreme conditions.

FLOOD CURE DROUGHT
-THE WATER SENSITIVE URBAN DESIGN IN QINGDAO The site is located in downtown Qingdao, one of the most water-scarce cities in China, Shandong Province. In recent years, due to global warming and its unique hilly terrain, Qingdao has faced severe flood condition, especially in the lowlying areas of city centre. However, the dried reservoirs showed that it is urgent to solve the problem of water resources shortage. Thus, the Flood Cure Drought plan aims to reform the surrounding environment of Haibo River, which is the only one located in the downtown area, and solve the crisis of water resource shortage through the Trinity Structure of River-Street-Roof According to various types of land, such as residential, commercial and industrial lands, we divided the whole riverway into four sections with three main functions. In this plan, transformations of river, street and roof are carried out to improve the retention, infiltration and storage capacity of rain water. And after filtration and purification, it can be used for drinking and irrigation. Above all, the final goal is to improve the efficiency of rain water utilization and alleviate the water shortage problem while some effective measures are taken to release the huge burden of urban drainage.

THE LIFE-NET
Widely distributed coastal peatlands around Palembang, Indonesia have amount of carbon accumulation recognized as an important part of “the carbon sink of the earth”, while 95 percent of them are already degraded. Resent years in dry seasons, massive fires are burning throughout the region, exploding “carbon bomb” that has GHGs (CO2 and N2O) global implications, the loss of regional land resilience and serious local residents survival problems, which are the result of poor land use practices including drainage, deforestation and slash-and-burn cultivation. Furthermore, the peatland lose the ability to absorb carbon dioxide, retain water, produce foods and provide habitat for local animals. This creates “the vicious circle of peatland utilization”.1 Based on the hydro-logical conditions, production-living styles and local habitats analyses, the authors build a resilient water-net system working in both rain and dry seasons. In the first place, this system ensures that the peatlands are keeping wet full year. Secondly, it helps to provide sustainable harvests from wet and rewetted peatlands under conditions that maintain the peat body, facilitate peat accumulation and sustain the ecosystem services associated with natural peat-rain forests. Thirdly, it helps stop peat oxidation and simultaneously provide sustainable income increasing activities like rain forests tourism and trades of special agricultural products. Comprehensive problems of the site is solved by a moderate landscape architectural way which using natural powers through the resilient water-net system to create a hopeful and vivifying future peatland.

FROM BROWN FIELD TO BLUE FIELD - PERIURBAN RESERVOIR UPSTREAM RESTORATION
Qinglonghu is a reservoir located in the southwest suburb of Beijing. In recent years, with the large-scale development around the reservoir, it has led to a series of problems such as groundwater pollution, ecological destruction, and agricultural economic decline, and the resilience of the region is gradually lost,leading to higher risk of flooding. On July 21, 2012, a heavy rainstorm attacked Beijing, which caused heavy casualties and property losses. Among them, Qinglonghu was one of the worst affected areas. The disaster resulted in 5 deaths, 32000 victims and an economic loss of about 200 million yuan. In order to avoid the recurrence of disasters, how to manage and transform the water system and restore the resilience of the landscape in this area is our primary concern. We plan to restore the upstream of the reservoir through three strategies. 1. Collect purify and recharge groundwater at source area by terraced wetland system, and this could reduce the risk of mountain flood and debris flow. 2. Restore natural form of the channelized river, and improve the adaptability and resistance of different types of landscape by setting different types of revetment, floating farmland and fruit base fish ponds. 3. Built wetlands around reservoir inlet to restore damaged natural habitats and increase biodiversity. We hope that through these strategies, we can restore the resilience of the landscape and create a safe and livable environment.

Also, the farmland away from the river bank is facing the problem of irrigation in the dry season. Therefore, the goal of this design is to combine flood protection, imigation pattems improvement and rice fish farming development, and to transform flood threats into the advantages of resilient agriculture by apply polder model. Polder is a piece of land protected from water by a system of dams and dikes and within which the water level can be regulated. Within the polder, the ditches and drains between the strips of land, carry the water to the bigger watercourses through which it flows to the pumping station. In this way excess water is removed through the sluice or by a pump into the river directly.

THE SHAPE OF WATER
The vacant village produced by Chinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s urbanization process has become one of the thorniest problems in the rural remolding policy. In the design. The Shengshou Village is chosen as our research object, where the problems of water and soil pollution, waste of land resource and low utilization of riverside belt exist. With the purpose of activating the resilience of eco-social system of the mentioned village, the design proposes a plan to recover the resilience of water system, adjust cross-scale rural residential area, construct green infrastructure network and reconstruct the flood prevention embankment based on the interdisciplinary considerations. Adaptive cycle of resilience of eco-social system, Cross-scale Effect and transformability. The implementation of the design comprise three stages: This first stage is committed to repairing water and soil pollution, and recovering bio-diversity in the mentioned village through establishing concentrated residential area and three-layer purification system (combining farmland, wetland riverside belt). The second stage centers on ecosystem improvements and landscape formation, during which the construction of green infrastructure is begun and village residential area and riverside belt area is connected for the purpose of providing humans and animals with nonmotorized traffic system. Meanwhile, diversified landscape space is shaped through the development of commercial crops in accordance with local characteristics.

Water is the core of the problem.To mobilize all social strata in the system construction of ecological wetland，with the help of irreconcilable contradictions between the local residents' vital interests and the income of the illegal aliens, realize the the strong maintenance and management of the late system. At the same time, through the political influence of the upper managers and the support of the lower managers, the whole system is formed from the bottom up.
Before building sluices on the five rivers and the upper Yangtze river: Wet season:The Yangtze river to poyang lake: top - to - and inverted - irrigation to raise the water level of poyang lake.The total flow rate of five rivers to poyang lake from April to june is the largest. Dry season:Poyang lake continues to flow to the Yangtze river, and the water level of poyang lake decreases. After building sluices on the five rivers and the upper Yangtze river: The water level in the lake area of poyang lake was uplifted from January. to june to facilitate production and living.but in Octobor ,The reservoir impoundment is the beginning of the dry period of poyang lake basin,The reservoir impoundment speeds up the water level in poyang lake.It makes poyang lake dry season ahead of time.

The big bubble is connected with the surrounding small bubble to form a relatively independent storage system. It is also planned as a “15-year plan” to “return farmland to the lake” from the area of water. At the same time, we fully consider the industrial and economic problems of the dry period, and construct different wetland landscapes in combination with different environment. To restore the elasticity of poyang lake from the aspects of physics, ecology and economy.
Fifteen year plan ht period
scope of project
In recent years, the water level of poyang lake has been getting lower and lower during the dry period, and the duration of the dry period is getting longer and longer. This has had a negative impact on local ecology, human activities and the economy. The situation also appears in dongting lake, which has been controversial for years. In order to alleviate this problem, we intend to establish several “bubble wetlands” directly on the shoreline of the dry water and the shoreline of the fengshui period.

The industrial development
We using elastic design to create ecological landscape and human activities under different water level conditions.Drive the local economy and give priority to the development of tertiary industry.During the flood period, the wetland meets the surface of poyang lake.During the dry period, the wetland is separated from the surface of poyang lake.Bare beach can be used as the activity space of tourists.
Indusrial ruins for education: We using elatic design to create education of landscape.The preservation of old industrial sites and sand mining sites has played a role of urban education environment.In the design of three types of wetlands, they made the least change.By means of incomplete design, the present situation of dry water is presented to the educated.
Field dominated by the aquaculture industry:
Before 2007 the number of sand mining ships is increasing obviously.Affected by the ordinance,the number of dredging ships decreased significantly in 2008 and 2009. But it is driven by high profits in the sand mining industry.The phenomenon of theft is widespread, and the number of dredging ships increased in 2010.
In poyang lake sand mining behavior significantly change the morphology of poyang lake, especially into the rivers that dig deep excavation width, increase the water cross section area, make the same water level of poyang lake water injection rate is accelerated, to a certain extent,the dry period of poyang lake in autumn and winter has been advanced and extended.
Five years of survey can be used to establish relatively tiny surrounding the Poyang lake wetland are,in the form of a basement-patch-corridor backstepping,on the premise of established corridor rich tiny patches to expand the influence of the whole, and to push forward fisheries aquaculture enhance manual for maintenance and management of wetland, and increase the economic income of nursing managers.Under the premise of development and stability to the implementation of the further development of relevant industrial chain of the third industry.
We using elatic design to create aquaculture industry landscape.The extension of the dry period will seriously affect the fishermen's interests.We have designed some small wetlands as separate cages for fish farms.It has improved the existing problems of dry water and surrounding fishermen. It also allows agriculture and fisheries to develop at the same time, which indirectly inhibits the overcultivation of farmland.

LIQUIFY THE SYSTEM FROM THE FOG
In the past fifty years, the fast urbanization have impelled a rapid vicissitude of the urban space form in Latin America, particularly the peripheral and vacant land of cities invaded by the poor migrants. These informal settlements have complex social implications and play an important role in defining the economy, spatial growth and evolution of many cities. Meanwhile, they are serious threatens comprising sanitation, legal, physical, aesthetical and environmental problems, while there is still a possibility of regulating them to trigger positive urban changes to tackle the lack of affordable housing and infrastructure in particular distressed conditions. The project is in San Juan de Miraflores, a barriada located in the west southern of LimaPeru, and it is isolated by “wall of shame” from affluent neighborhood. The purpose of the project is to explore a community organization triggered by a unit facility which can boost the upgrading capacity of the barriadas and to turn them into less vulnerable , more resilient and more environmentally-oriented places. The unit facility consists of two parts—— the fog collector and the biogas producer. It can solves the infrastructure problems in this area step by step, and benefits multi-field exchanges between subsystems of urban area. Ultimately, the wall as the epitome of the conflict between two subsystems of the urban system will be dissolved.

GROWING FORTIFICATION FOR SANTA ROSA The number and scale of WUI has been growing in California for decades as a result of urban sprawl.Residential, public buildings and activity sites continue to encroach on the forest boundary along the road.The forest near the city is being destroyed.In recent years, the increasingly severe forest fires have caused WUI to continue to be engulfed by flames, and the safety of residentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; life and property is under unprecedented threat. The program is based on northern Santa Rosa county, California. It aims at finding a new balance between human essential activities and the conservation of forest ecology. This design will be divided into four phases. First of all, in the face of the fact that WUI is difficult to move in a short period of time, various landscape methods are combined with multidisciplinary methods to protect the existing WUIs. Then, move out of all WUIs and gradually restore the damaged ecology. By the third stage, all protection measures will be fully matured, and the site where WUI is located will be transformed into various event spaces and commercial lands.In the end, Fire-fighting forest belts and primary forests evolve into forests dominated by broad-leaved trees.Most of the WUI migrate to the periphery of the city, most of the land is returned to the forest, and a small portion is left as a country park.

Wet-dry marsh dynamic reclamation: Local life resource, Nhongdae wetland, Udonthani city, Thailand Local community way of life intertwined with goods and products from natural wetland dynamics. Wetland degradation occurred throughout Thailand north-eastern region due to rapid urban expansion threaten and changed local communities. “Nhongdae” is one of the degraded wetland in the fringe of Udonthani, rapidly developing province in North-eastern Thailand. This site is a shallow basin, seasonal freshwater marsh, which is dominant type of wetland scatter in the region. This highly productive landscape is influenced by dynamic of water level. It is a natural storm water catchment area and became a 3-4 months lake in rainy season, dry out and became utilizable land in drought season. The wet-dry landscape characters provided biodiversity richness and lift of the land benefits for local community. Nhongdae was excavated by local government in attempt to turn the wetland in to water retention basin. The wetland thus loss natural water dynamics, the water level has changes drastically and can no longer provide support for local communities. To reclaim the wetland the project studied hydrological pattern and proposed water flow management to mimicked that of the natural. Reintroduced the wet-dry edge highly productive landscape dynamic. These two major efforts are to revive the wetland. For a natural element to last and stay function in the ever-expanding city is to make people realized the values. Education trails and water adaptive recreation area were designed according to the natural dynamic.

PAIN POINT THE GROWTH AND RENEWAL OF RESTORATIVE The project is located in Weihe, Shaanxi Province, China. It originated in bird rat mountain in Weiyuan County, Gansu Province, and was injected into the Yellow River in Tongguan County, Shaanxi province. In recent years, the ecological system of the Weihe basin, which has been developing socioeconomic and growing, is facing the problems of water, water, water pollution and so on, which seriously affects the development of ecology and economy. Therefore, we should take a step by step strategy for the current situation of Weihe basin. In the Baoji section of the upper reaches of Weihe in Shaanxi, the water pollution is aggravated, the drainage is used as a wetland landscape, and the biodepressions are detained in the low-lying land, and the ecological landscape of the human and biofriendly Weihe is made；In the middle reaches of Xi’an, the level of population urbanization is high and the riverfront landscape along the river is taken as an ecological green corridor in Xi’an city；In the lower reaches of Weihe, the terrain is flat and open, making the urban farm landscape and giving play to the role of Weihe’s additional agricultural products. The effects of different stages of Weihe in the next twenty years are viewed from the overall planning, the river beach diversity treatment, the analysis of the bank profile and the reutilization of the sediment.

Rural vitalization is currently a central issue in China, with relevant policies coming out, large amount of capital is being accumulated and many forces of design are involved. Though that rural reformation has become a fashion, we are more concerned about some essential issues such as ecology, industries, community vitality, as well as the resilience and applicability of theories of landscape when dealing with these issues. We constructed an environmental system which involves all kinds of spatial elements in order to build up an interconnected and elastic net of practical strategies. The location in our design proposal is Fangkou Village, Zhangjiakou City, Hebei Province, China. Though that China’s implemented policy of returning farmland to forest has efficiently slowed down the process of desertification and soil erosion, the uncircumspect implementation in Fangkou village has overturned its original industries in the meantime. As a result, population of Fangkou is aging at 100 percent and the economy is in recession. Constant forestation makes the ecosystem vulnerable and many species are extinguishing. With additional causes like declination of groundwater level and poor soil, Fangkou has become a member of China’s “declining villages”. This village never encounters natural disasters, and it has nothing special compared to any others, however, this ordinariness exactly reflects essential and nationwide problems, which are unavoidable and exactly what we have to fight against.

The design site is located in Fangkou Village, Zhangjiakou City, Hebei Province, China.The village has received attention after the “Rural vitalization” policy was introduced. However, like most of the existing villages in China, it has no characteristics, no big disasters but problems in all aspects.It’s unavoidable and exactly we have to fight against.In the face of problems left over by history and prospects for the future, we cut through three aspects: ecology, economy, and community vitality. We have constructed a system that derives secondary directions in three major directions, and at the same time, these directions are intertwined. The abundant and resilient network has enhanced the vitality and sustainability of the village, and at the same time it has also provided a possibility, a model that can spread and spread.

The water system The combination of water and plant soil characteristics forms an interwoven network. First of all, according to the gis analysis of the mountain catchment line, contact the village situation, obtained four key water storage points.
Light factory
Among the plants we selected, the plants with strong soil and soil ability were selected. Under the premise of topographic analysis, the natural network was formed by reasonable distribution of plants in the mountains.
Theatre&The big well
The ecological restoration needs long-term detection, research and cultivations, so a micro ecological research center has been set up in the village.
After the restoration of agricultural and fruit industry, it should bring higher income to peasant farmers. The light processing factory set up at the entrance of the main roads can extend the industrial chain and provide jobs to raise the living standards.
The original puddle has dried up in the village. While recovering its original functions, we also inject new vitality into it to re-plan its functions so that it becomes an open theater and evoke the place spirit.
The ecological restoration makes tourism develop well. The hilltop house has better accommodation and viewing experience. Meanwhile, the water tower built at high elevation can make full use of water’s pressure to irrigate or for emergency use. The two combination can create rich height differences and spatial variations.

SYMBIOTIC -CITY
Deforestation is one of the current issues in Indonesia. There are many causes of this problem. The population is one of them. From the past 10 years, Indonesia population keep increasing. When cities become over-populated, the human has a tendency to expand their footprint horizontally and indirectly, it affects wildlifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s living system. Their footprint becomes smaller and smaller. This is the reason why extinction is a very common issue in Indonesia. Based on the research of World Wildlife Fund, The forest of Sumatra is home to some of the world rarest wildlife and plant species. The Land-conflict between Human and wildlife is a common issue as well since two of the creatures need to expand themselves and the one that always. Being in a disadvantaged position is wildlife since they cannot express their mind. In order to tackle this problem, the only way is to coexist human with wildlife (Nature). Symbiotic-City is a new living system between Human-Wildlife(Nature) that challenges the current way of living that has a tendency to isolate human with wildlife. The design strategy is to minimize the current footprint of the city which is very dense into 4 Super-Tower and let the wildlife penetrate through the city By doing so, nature (Wildlife) is automatically being restored without affecting the human living system since human expansion shift from horizontal expansion toward the vertical expansion. This design allows two of them to expand themselves freely and equally.

GREEN LUNGS
The ‘Green Lungs’ project is a project that focuses on bringing back the memory, heritage and biodiversity of the swamp land into urban areas while also creating a sustainable environment by having dense plantations to help purify the dirty water that is currently flowing through the river. Through this project, we hope to change the mindset of the people on how they interact with the water and also bring the people closer to the river. Being called the ‘Lung’ the wetland is a place of constant action. With the different tides throughout the days and years, the wetland provides varies activities for different users to interact with at different timings. The wetland consists of a playground, an amphitheater, a learning hub and also an exciting nature walk. When users cross the bridge from the other side of the river, they will be greeted by the learning hub. The learning hub is the main feature where the users will be able to walk around and learn the various types of plant species that has been used to help purify the water. Additionally, once abandoned warehouse that is near the area is converted into an event space where people can gather and enjoy various events by opening the front portion of the warehouse and adding an amphitheater where the events will be held.

The problem of this site there are too many stairs and it’s very unfriendly for disabled people and elderly and it is a space no one use it. Also, because residential over there are complain the stairs are too much. So I want my design combine the stairs and ramps together. Stairs is for direct accessibility and for people who running out of time. Ramps is for people who use wheelchair and is the way to bring people into the project. Let this empty space become a public space to invite visitors of any age.

NATURE LINK
The study of Raffles Place evaluates the site is mainly occupied by offices and inadequately designed park which appears to be unused. Thus, one can see that throughout the time, the site is getting hotter due to the deficiency of greenery along the area. Nature Link is a recreational space which targeted mainly the office workers, for the reason of people will certainly be working at an exotic locations in the foreseeable future due to technological advance. Singapore is a rapidly developed country, hence it craves more commercial activities to grow. In result, forests are replaced by buildings and skyscrapers. Eventually, the overall countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s temperature is increasing every year, even though Singapore is a green city. The main concept of this design is to insert a tropical rainforest underground in the CBD area with a simple reason. Underground has lower temperature and rainforests are often called the lungs of the planet for their role in producing oxygen, recreate a habitat for flora and fauna, and other benefits. Compared to a generic park, a tropical rainforest has an advantage of lower average temperature due to multiple layers of softscapes. Furthermore, it also has the potential of developing a complex ecosystem interlinking animals and plants together. Eventually, tropical rainforest is an ideal strategy to reduce the temperature in urban areas, while also mending the damaged ecosystem caused by deforestation, urbanisation, and global warming. Nature Link will be a space to bring people closer to nature.

The purpose of the project is dedicated in designing and construct a connection system which connects the massive individual blocks in Gang Xia village. By using this connection system, the whole site would be seemed as a complete residential site rather than individual blocks that were randomly been putted together. By inserting rooftop gardens and activities areas, this system also aims to solve the site problems such as lack of greenery, public space and private area. On the other hand, this project also aims to encourage the migrant workers whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the main residents in Gang Xia village to be more outdoor active and stricken the community bounding. As those migrant workers were mostly preferring stay indoor during their free time, these action would not only reduce their monthly expenses on electricity and internet fees, but also provide them an echo friendly and healthier lifestyle. The design language of the project includes the original site language which is the straight and harsh edge lines, this would be seen as an extension of the site structure itself. However, a curved and organic language were added into the design as well, it aims to soften the site language and also creates turnings which put the rooftop limited space in full use and allow user to experience the space in a different way.

Instead of restoring the Istana to its former glory, the structure will retain its dilapidated look. Leaving it as a relic of the past, displaying its journey’s end. Despite the amount of the site’s history and heritage value, it does not receive justified attention compared to its neighbors, Dempsy Hill and Botanic Garden. Instead, being neglected and being hidden in plain sight. Odyssey not only takes its users through a journey into the past but also creates a connection between two green zones (Dempsy Hill & Botanic Garden) to form a miniature green corridor.

Aqua Arc is an aquaponics hub in Pulau Ubin. It proposes the interrelation between a fish farm and the growing of food to form a closed and sustainable system. The roof of the hub is covered with grow beds for the vegetables which are nourished with nutrients obtained from the fish farm. After the nutrients are absorbed by the plants, the water passes through a filtration system that cleans the water in order for the water of the pond to stay clean and the fishes to remain healthy.

THE GOLDEN AGER
The Golden Ager represents the senior citizens in Singapore. Singapore is facing ageing population with declining birth rate. This issue is worrying as the increase of elderly population in Singapore may mean changes of taxes, there will be smaller pool of working age Singaporeans to support the older generation , hence this will affect Singapore’s Economy . Nursing home beds keep increasing, this shows that the elderly are less prone active. This project’s concept focuses on giving elderly a more active and life while contributing for Singapore’s economy. The project’s concept focuses on the contribution of the elderly for a sustainable development. The project site is Pulau Ubin and its aim is to engage the elderly with the regeneration of the island’s biodiversity and farming. Pulau Ubin is the project site because Ubin is not sustainable in relation for food . Locals have to depend the mainland Singapore for food supplies and transportation of the food cost the locals a lot . Furthermore , In Pulau Ubin both locals and elderly can play a part in contributing manpower for the food supply which is farming as well as activities that engage the elderly physically, emotionally and mentally. The design of the farm proposed in this project addresses the physical challenges the elderly might have. In conclusion, this concept will bring together the elderly from different walks of life to interact. Interacting with one another will make an elderly’s mind more active and create bonds through social activities while contributing for Pulau Ubin Sustainable development.

The Evergreenscape project site is adjacent to North Buona Vista Road and very close to Buona Vista MRT station. It is neighboring to Ghim Moh, residential area, Star vista, a commercial, arts and cultural area, and Metropolis and Biopolis office buildings, industrial, research and business area. It is part of the 24km stretch of former rail tracks from Tanjong Pagar Station in the CBD all the way to Woodlands Checkpoint, now called â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The Rail Corridorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Evergreenscape aims to promote biodiversity, enable community activities while creating awareness on benefits of nature to urban landscape, and boost the community spirit and identity of Ghim Moh. While Evergreenscape will emerge as the green heart of Buona Vista that brings diverse community together around the vicinity, it will also form as a significant activity and connectivity node along the Rail Corridor. The design proposal includes seamless circulation network for cyclists and pedestrian within the locality of Ghim Moh, Buona Vista, and Biopolis areas, which gives the opportunity to link to Ulu Pandan Park Connector, Pandan reservoir and other ABC Waters sites such as Alexandra Canal. While it is evident that the site context provides the opportunity to enhance the green network Evergreenscape used water element to integrate landscape spaces and enhance community vibrancy and enhances the spatial quality around Ghim Moh. Introducing water elements at strategic points also provides the opportunity to promote habitat creation specifically for dragonflies, which is inspired by the existing dragonfly habitat at Ulu Pandan Park Connector.

Site located at the South-West of Singapore, just at the Buona Vista Mass Rapid Transit ( MRT) on the East West line and Circle line in Singapore. Firstly, for mobility of the masterplan, there is a disconnection of major commercial and residential district of Ghim Moh and Buona Vista. Although an underpass and several pedestrian crossings is available, the there is a lack of effectiveness as users need to travel up and down just to reach their destination, Besides, the major green belt- Railway Corridor is not accessible by the people too. The topography of the area also hinders a smooth flow of circulation usage and therefore unable to access by the disabilities and act as a hazard for the elderly â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which is the major users from the upper part of the masterplan â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Ulu Pandan area. With that, Ribbon aim to reimagine untapped landscape spaces along the way, explored new landscape typology to engage community interaction, promote ecology appreciation and to better connect people through safe and integrated circulation network that impact a greater community use. Proposal like underground plaza is suggested to better connect people through grade separation. Besides, Ribbon aspire to interconnect green and blue network through every steps one take. A design proposal aim to capture the journey as the main essence of a vision of social and ecology sustainability which follow a series of spatial experience and mobility frameworks to attain a biophilic and resilience landscape for the future of Singapore.

Plant Selection for ‘Green Pockets’
24/7 Thoroughfare
The project site is in Buona Vista, within the Queenstown district in the south-western area of Singapore, is approximately 1.55km2 in area. It encompasses two high-rise residential estates, which makes up a small percentage of the site area, a commercial cluster of shopping malls and office towers, and an industrial area that houses multiple factories and research & development companies. There are various issues on connectivity such as pedestrian and vehicular traffic congestion, indirect accessibility to amenities and developments hence resulting to community segregation in terms of demography and land or space usage. The project aims to provide a continuous, experiential and engaging link around the area. It also aims to foster and forge community spirit while integrating the grey and green spaces. The proposed elevated walkway will enhance the place making at various level. Hence, Sky Connections is a network of spaces for different attractions and activities catering for diverse communities and environment, seamlessly connected by a common green corridor. The spaces encourage users’ participation, interaction and forge sense of ownership. One of the strategies is utilising small plots of green spaces within the higher floors of buildings as herb gardens, which will be used and maintained by participating eateries within

BEVOLUTION
Bevolution is a concept that resonates with the idea of a smart nation and biophilic design. The concept encompasses different technological aids and smart designs to alleviate the severity of global warming while enriching the environment, promoting social cohesiveness and providing seamless connectivity. The concept of Bevolution seeks to integrate the fundamental architecture of the natural environment by applying the six principles of biophilic design to create an environment that mimics elements of the natural environment. Producing beneficial results that can provide different uses or structural advantages to the site. The concept also incorporates different innovative structural technologies that is tailored and adapts to the site conditions and climates to make better use of natureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s resources while bringing structural benefits and convenience to the users. To achieve the conceptâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s objectives, four key frameworks are introduced. Firstly, the provision of elevated walkways will provide alternative routes that allows quicker access to different parts of Buona Vista. While providing opportunities for different activities. Secondly, revitalisation of the previously unsightly canal and introduction of pockets of green spaces will provide new habitats for different organisms and new activities simultaneously. Thirdly, the creation of new spaces and activities will encourage and provide many opportunities for communal bonding to create an integrated community. Lastly, creation and design spaces that are unique to the site, which allows the residents of Buona Vista to identify themselves.

Tai O has a plentiful history background and culture, also the flooding problem is common. Therefore, the government use the sea wall to separate the human and sea. However, it is a negative way to settle the flood problem and it doesn’t work. My project visions are solve the flooding problem in landscape way to protect this area. Also, the design would connect the human and water, also create more habitats in Tai O. It would have different experience in flood season and dry season. Moreover, the resident and visitors could explore more to enjoy the unique view and culture with my design.

Present
Yuen Long was the focal point of rural activities in Hong Kong. Due to urban growth and continuous development, Yuen Long has become an extraordinary place merged with ancient and modern elements.
Yuen Long is located in the western New Territories, Hong Kong. To the its north lie Nam Sang Wai. The Yuen Long River was channelised and became a flood prevention channel.
PROBLEMS
This project is aimed to propose a resilient landscape design for wetland restoration and urban upgrade in Yuen Long. As for the flood control, the design would be adaptable for storm and flooding recovery. A series of drawings are used to discover the relationships between urban development and natural values. Also, the future planning is considering the integration of different aspects such as the local culture, fish ponds, container yards and wetland. At the end, it aimed to think about the balance between wetland and urban development.

LEVEL
Level aims to solve the issue of the diverse demands of users on a sloped terrain by creating a unique green recreational space; a vertical layered park that embodies the Singapore identity, where majority of people live in high-rise and nature together. The client is NParks. The site is located next to the U/C Woodlands Health Campus. It is a slope with a 10m level difference from top to bottom. The garden will be open to everyone. The client requires the main concept to be a Healing Forest Garden. The issues this design targets are the lack of biodiversity, the sloping terrain of the site and the multiple and mixed user demands. The sloping terrain lowers the amount of usable space, reducing the amount of activity areas. The design tackles the issues with the concept: Level; stacking people of different demands in a biodiverse/ natural resilient landscape. This design plays with the levels of a rainforest, the level of activity in different zones and the height levels of the site to create an interesting and unique experience for users. The main feature of this design is the Tree Trunk Tower. It is a 4-storey tower which corresponds to the levels of the rainforest in the middle of

GREEN COMPASS
The project aims to be an urban green node that brings together people to celebrate a sustainable and socially rich fife style. The project aims to define the cycling connectivity around the site and serve as a platform for urban events and social encounters. The design aims to inspire people to live happier, healthier and spend more time outdoors. The main feature of the structure is that it acts as a heritage compass. On the one hand the proposed structure connects the cycle paths that links Chinatown to key heritage landmarks. On the other hand this cycle bowl has edges that point towards key landmarks around the area such as the Sri Vinayagar Temple and the Jean Yip Loft. The two-story structure houses a bicycle park on the roof top, a cycle hub at the basement and connects to the new MRT station. Besides the bicycle park the landscape designed roof top and the main atrium of the building are conceptualized to encourage human encounters and a variety of social interactions. This building is green, not only because it has in consideration a variety of passive strategies to mitigate the high humidity levels and temperature of the site but also because in is deeply integrated with vegetation. The interior, will be characterized by its green and water walls that will give a natural feel to the place and will
