Depict, is to draw by image, to describe through story. I was always facsinating by the flikering tree shadows on the wall. The plain wall is paper and the shadow is ink. Landscape phenomenon is subtle but it has its own way for expression. By manipulating landform, the project provides surface for casting shadows of existing trees. And the constantly changing tide level remains its trace on the ground. It's the dynamic space for revealing phenomenon; it's the poetic spcae for either garthering or meditating.

GRADING STUDIO This grading practice explores the parallels between designing and constructing the ground through the development of acore concept. Its focus is on landform – experimenting with its malleability and resistance to accommodate the varying possibilities of human use and occupation, as well its interaction with dynamic ecological flows.

1. ACCENTUATED SCENARIOS Entrance plaza design / Guangzhou,South China / Academic Work / Individual work / 2014
Adjacent to YUYIN Chinese Classic Garden,it serve as a connection between city and YUYIN Garden and a foil to the relic, providing a new way to comprehend the context. This project accentuates three crucial historical elements—central axis of YUYIN Garden, NANSHAN Road, the prototpye of traditional Guangfu dwellings. A series of scenarios are created along the circulation, and emerge gradually, leading tourists meet the garden unconsciously and peacefully.

The village is faced with industrial transformation. Instead of unrealistic and vigorous development, the designer decides to revitalize the village by traditional farming mode:Mulberry-base-pond.

It is an art museum created by three walls, along with topography and water.When the geometric form meets with natural element, a kind of poetic image is formed.Between the triple walls, it's pure outdoor exhibition space; it's continuous yard; it's a metaphor that makes us rethink the relation between artificiality and nature.

When I was gazing at the wall of Columba Museum by Peter Zumthor, a women happened to walk across the sunlight.
Design not only happens when I am drawing the plans or making the models. It also exists when I perceive the world slightly, feel the nature devoutly, walk around the world with curiosity . I am grateful for these moment and I will never stop, for the endless journey in landscape architecture is always fascinating.
