CONCEPT
Soil GARDEN + Unedible Vegetation
The waterfront is designed to be an urban ecological site with :
Refuse Collection Points In North Point
1. biocological waste exchange agency where food waste from the nearby markets and restaurants and plant waste will be collected and converted to composit for the use in the landscape in the site. The composit will also be used to fertilize the crops which demonstrate the way of recycling carbon and nutrients.
Soild Fertilizer
2. rainwater harvesting system where rain water will be connected on different platforms and will be used for irrigrating the landscape plant.
EXCHANGE
3. ecological seashore where floating islands for natural succession and provide habitats for wild animals. The provision of broadwalk is limited to link the land with the column deck in order Foodto reduce the disturbance to wild life The site is designed to demonstrate the way which elements of ecological design can be incorporated into the urban landscape with an aim to promote an more ecologial lifestyle to the citizens.

At High tide, sea water flows into the tidal pool tank. Tidal pressure pushes the stormwater tank up and fill up the tidal pool to create wet pool.
TIDAL POOL SYSTEM
At Low tide, sea water flows less into the tidal pool tank. Weaker Tidal pressure cannot support and hold up the stormawater tank, stormwater drains down to the tank to create dry planting bed.

[PART 02]
A Tai O Guide
REDESIGN OF TAI O
Brief This part of the studio is dedicated to intensive landscape based research methods. This will be a guide to the physical and cultural circumstances of Tai O and how they have changed over time. It will be analytical in nature and emphasize the development of narrative through drawing.making a place to tell a story through a constellation of monuments and “points of interest”.
Brief The goal of this sequence of studio is to intervene in the “official” future of Tai O, based upon the indepth research into its ecological and formal milieu. Students’ design proposals will articulate an alternative strategy for Tai O with a special focus on its agricultural and aquacultural potential. Students, however, are welcome to develop a wide variety of strategies drawn from and supported by their previous research. Design interventions should focus on small scale, distributed, networked and resilient futures for the village which take a critical position against the nostalgic, tourist based economies. Keep in mind that the proposals from the studio will be made public. As such, proposals should be based upon the actual physical, cultural and political conditions of Tai O, in addition to targeting the imaginary of the village.
[PART 01]
[PART 02] As a typical post primary industrial village, Tai O is standing in the crossroads where the modern man has to define his relationship with nature. We have all the tools needed for a sustainable solution of human existence in the technological world. Now we also have all the tools to destroy the world. For me, it is the re-thinking of connection between human and nature.

Nature Resource Exhaustion birds
For decades of overfishing, nature resource exhausted, and following the depression of Tai O primary industry – fishery. . The younger generations have moved to metropolis, and the elder left lonely in the village. Deserted stilt house, construction wastes, useless boats, abandoned fishing net, cages and salt pan…all these things congest Tai O, and make Tai O as an industrial ruin. Hopefully, ruin is when man-made has become part of nature. And give the initiative to nature, let it be. Now, Tai O needs peace and human needs meditation. These two have the same character– rest. NO MORE AQUACULTURE. The position of this project is the accomplishment of the elderly. The angle of this Project starts to think human’s position and reasonable activates in specific context. There are main three parts: Memorial of industry, Memorial of architecture, and Memorial of human. Memorial of industry: It is meditation spaces for human to introspection. Go through the boats ruins, people can entry small and private space surrounded by water and mangroves. It is talk to the past. Memorial of architecture: With the decline of fishery industry, the traditional stilt house is useless and abandoned. For the lderly, it is their lifestyle. To keep the lifestyle for the elderly and change the architecture ruins to nature is the main design in this part. Give new hope both human and nature on the base of ruins. Memorial of human: Human belongs to nature. This part is a cemetery, where the passing will be remembered with a newly planted tree. And it is kind of reintegrate and young generation will continue to inhabit. All turns into peace.

testing of different method to express timeline Zhou Wo village has experienced from vernacular landscape under small-scale peasant economy and family system, through political landscape under central planned economy and the CCPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all authority to nowadaysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; economy-lead landscape under market economy and the CCPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all authority. As the transformation of social structure and rural lifeway, the former landscape feature still remained in later ones. All the uncertain and instability are telling the facts that transformation in rural landscape is a hybrid and an integrated complex contested process. Even the political landscape emerged sharply with inviolable and certain shape, the following transformation caused by change of rural politics and economy has reform transitory politic landscape. The full understand of the interaction of different drivers: land property, politics, economy and social structure, which has effect on rural population change, rural landscape (including the architecture morphology, village configurations, and ecological environment), and land use.
master plan
Demolish of the old hollowed village and maintain the selected primary buildings as public buildings for different functions: The package factory is remained for food package. The abandoned factories inside the housing edge are reformed into mushroom cultivation, nursery, and agricultural staging station. Other factories located outside the housing edge are transformed into organic fertilizer station, pig farm station, energy station and agricultural technology center. Primary school is still functional. The building of Peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Communes are transited into barn and the inside courtyard are used as grain-sunning ground and outdoor theater. The ancestral hall is maintained as culture heritage. The foreyard of the ancestral hall is used as free exchange market for community. Some resident houses are changed into water taxi station and picnic pavilion.

NEW FORMING OF HOUSING
From the historical rural transformation, the dwelling experienced from regular gird pattern (Pai Shu pattern) in family system to less order pattern in periphery formed in 1910s to 1980s, to nowadays’ extend along the highways pattern. The hollowed central part is already abandoned by its owners. And highway acts as inducer to change more farming land turn into construction area. In response to these needs preferred by local farmers and avoiding the disorder spontaneous development, the new housing is formed as strong closed shape – edges of rectangle. Housing are elevated to leave the ground space as multiple functions space- street path for domestic small vehicles which only serviced inside the village , open space , parking area… On each edge of the housing rectangle, it equipped with outdoor sport stadium – swimming pool, badminton, fitness, playground…
TRANSPORTATION (REDESIGN THE HIGHWAY SYSTEM) highways located the outer ring of elevated housing which link to the outside, street path under the elevated housing and its branches link to the commercial farming land
Transportation circulation in the village has divided into three parts: highways located the outer ring of elevated housing which link to the outside, street path under the elevated housing and its branches link to the commercial farming land and the pedestrian and bike path inner of the street path which link to the self-sufficient farming land. Primary highway is 16 meter in width which is overdesign to its max usage. Due to the useless width, highway here had negative effect on agricultural which cause the fragment of farming land and its ecological environment. The integration of elevated housing with street can avoiding the fragment, keep the rural landscape consistent and reduces the land use for non-agrarian.
