The site is located on the west campus of Texas A&M University, which is pass through by the White Creek. This design was required to combine "water" and "education" as the theme.

Considered about the surrounding context and the existing structures on site, I decided to design a farm park with artificial wetland inside to show the relationship between water and agriculture as well as the process of water purification and recycle. It could serve the people both from the campus and outside the campus.

College Station

The site is located at the south corner of College Station, TX. As the population of College Station kept growing for a long period, and the largest growing group is old people. To target on these retired people as well as the home buyers that attracted by the educational resources of College Station. This Houston, TX, USA community was designed to create a Texas ranch-style, mixed age community which offers residents a healthy and active living environment. There are a vineyard, seven residential hamlets with different themes (including a CCRC Hamlet), a central lake park with main community club, and a horse ranch which a horse club in this design.

To recreate the Texas landscape, I designed a meadow garden in this ranch, planted popular local grass, flowes, shrubs and trees. A bioswale was designed to connect the club house and parking lot. Plants in this bioswale were selected from the planting list for suggested rain garden plants of Texas.

The site is located on the west campus of Texas A&M University, right beside the greenhouses of College of Horticulture.

Respond to the requirement of Texas A&M University future planning. This project is to transform the existing swale into a rain garden with highly ornamental value as well as educational & research function, which will serve as one of the entrances of the west campus garden.

The project team was consisted of professors from the Department of Landscape Architecture, College of Horticultural Science, College of Engineering as well as the construction company. Master Plan and construction documents were required.

RAIN GARDEN Designed and rendered by Lingyue Cao Model : SketchUp Rendering: Photoshop

Maintain and Enhance the Campus Environment ...It should provide meeting places and present the image of an organization dedicated to quality in all it undertakes.

Movement of students, faculty, and staff around the campus should be convenient.

Create a culture that values the aesthetics and functionality of the physical settings in which people work and one that appreciates the opportunity for interaction and growth that a thoughtfully planned campus supports.
