open Chinese garden Four Treasures of the Study Museum, Xuan City Type: Architecture Design, Landscape Design Date: August 2009 –November 2009 Contribution: All

the Introduction of Chinese Four Treasures of Study The distinctive and elegant arts of Chinese calligraphy and painting have taken a prominent place in the international art world. Any person involved in the traditional Chinese arts of painting and calligraphy must rely heavily on the brush pen, ink, paper, and the inkstone, for it is only through these tools that the beauty of Chinese art receives concrete expression. As a result, much importance has been attached the "four treasures of the study."

Concept Most of traditional South Chinese gardens are designed for individuals and private utilization.

Thus, the normal form of garden is enclosure, and limitedly services users in the garden. To satisfy the requirement from the modern urban area as well as the public space, the initial concept of this project is to transform the Chinese garden from enclosure into exposure, so that increase the accessibility and the public utilization. The users can enjoy the environment of traditional Chinese garden in the urban context and bring the daily urban activities in this unique environment.

the Process of Traditional Chinese Painting brush pen The earliest brush pen can trace back two thousand years ago. The construction of brushes are adapted to a specific purpose such as painting or calligraphy and desired effect to be achieved such as clearly defined characters or blurred ones.

inkstick The ink-stick is the pigment of Chinese traditional painting and calligraphy. A good inkstick is finely grained and has an even and smooth texture. It is pure, solid black in color, without murkiness or roughness.

xuan paper Paper was invented by a Chinese named Cai Lun around 105 A.D. Paper produced in Xuan city, Anhui province called Xuan paper is the best with the features of white, toughness and strong hydroscopicity.

Location inkstone The inkstone is an appliance used to grind inkstick most which are made from stone as well as pottery. To use the traditional inkstick, an inkstone is required. A little water is added to the inkstone, and the inkstick is ground.

This project located in the downtown of Xuan City. “Four Treasures of the Study� is the most famous products from this city, and plays an important role in the local traditional culture. Therefore, the city wants to build a museum, which combines with the public open space to improve the local culture and tourism. The Site is in the middle of the downtown, and is surrounded by many commercial buildings, hotels, and offices. Thus this location provides an opportunity to create a space that services more citizens and tourists, and also promote the urban public environment.

Architectural Concept The structural concept is from the traditional Chinese painting, which has unique characteristics to express the natural scenery.

In order to create the feature of mountain and integrate the artificial structure with the nature, several partition walls with waving edge become the marked shape of the museum. The entire architectural style is learning from the local architecture form, which could simply describe as “white wall and grey tiles.�

Snake and Columbia River Basins The Snake River is a major river of the greater Pacific Northwest in the United States. It is the largest tributary of the Columbia River, and the largest North American river that empties into the Pacific Ocean. Rugged mountains divided by rolling plains characterize the watershed of the Snake River. More than 11,000 years

WSU RIVERPOINT CAMPUS Design, Spokane Type: Site Planning, Landscape Design Date: December 2010 Contribution: All

Course Assignment 1. Reconfigure the designs of the Health Sciences Building and the Academic Center without altering their total square footage, and combine these facilities with the existing Phase I Facility in order to create the kind of environment that you think this campus should have.

2. Add to this three-building combined site plan an amount of outdoor space equal to the footprints of each of the three buildings combined.

REDESIGNING RIVERPOINT CAMPUS

Design process

Campus is a place that provides the facility and space for communication, study, research and thinking.

Considering the location, surroundings and the function of this campus, my main goal in this project is building different types of spaces to satisfy the needs from the students, faculty, as well as the citizens. At the same time, explore more possibilities of space that enrich the experience and activities in this limited urban area.

The overall pattern strategy is “The In-Between” which identified by Herzberger. As he said: the threshold provides the key to the transition and connection between areas with divergent territorial, claims and, as a place in its own right, it constitutes, essentially, the spatial condition for the meeting and dialogue between areas of different orders.

ing

In this auto restricted zone, the building on the campus need to closely link with each other in a physical way. People can easily walking from one place to another. The idea of this objective is letting users’activities decides the site planning, rather than the site planning control the activities.

The vision for the project is to create a sense of community and belonging. Thus, I plan an enclosure shape of buildings on the campus. This concept based on the limited campus area and open space surround by traffics, which bring noise and circulation. What’s more, the enclosure shape can create more communication opportunities for the users on the campus.

A variety of parking lots existing around the outside of the campus. In order to increase the accessibility of the campus and create a walking friendly environment, several paths have been built between the buildings in a reasonable way.

INDOOR & OUTDOOR

PUBLIC &PRIVATE

Indoor and outdoor spaces are both significant elements in this urban campus, and they have their own specific activities and functions. As a response to the strategy of “The In-Between”, the site planning combines diverse types of indoor and outdoor spaces, which as a part of urban facility. These spaces serve different kinds of users from the city.

To enrich the spatial experiences, this plan utilize the architectural structure, plants, as well as circulation system to create abundant spaces of activities. According to the functional distinction of the urban campus, the plan has specific consideration from the need of the public and the private space.

The Riverpoint Campus is an urban research campus of Washington State University and located near both downtown Spokane and the Spokane River.

Landscape sensitivity analysis

regional GIS analysis Landscape suitability analysis The whole site was divided in five levels. From this figure it can be concluded that due to the influence of watershed location, the area along the river is in the lowest level and least suitable for construction. The second least suitable area is the area covered by forest due to the slope and vegetation. And some other areas suffered by potential flood are also not suitable for construction.

Flood

Gradient

Landscape is usually steep slope area, with high environmental value, dense vegetation coverage, and abundant watershed, which are all extremely sensitive area to construction. Once disturbance from construction takes place, multi-ecosystem of the whole region may be severely destroyed.

Medium sensitive areas are usually glade and orchestra on relatively plain area, with a high vegetation diversity and high landscape value. While playing a significant role in maintaining environmental functions of sensitive areas, these areas are sensitive to human activities and difficult to recover once damaged.

Weak sensitive areas are plain green spaces with inferior landscape value and higher elevation, and farmlands. These areas are able to bear human activities to some extent. However, extreme disturbance may lead to soil erosion and related damage and be hard to recover.

Based on the GIS analysis and existed scenic spots, we planned the core scenic region from two perspectives: Ecological Protection and Cultural Protection.

There are three main distributions of floras in the core scenic region, so naturally divided the site into three parts to restore the ecology. We planned several monitor and research programs for the ecosystem and utilize them to built new scenic spots. In between and the edge of the floras, variety of programs have been planned for recreation.
