INTROUDUCTION |
DATE: 2020.03-2020.04
There are many UNFAIR aspects in this incident. For example, Professor Lagasov directed the aftermath of the entire incident, but after the incident, Lagasov spent five hours in Vienna’s World Atomic Energy Association to tell the whole incident in detail, exposing the design flaws of the rmbk reactor, and finally he had to commit suicide. Come to the Soviet scientific community and even the world's awareness of the hazards of such reactors.

Since this kind of HISTORICAL EVENT has taken place, the TIME dimension restricts us from fighting for fairness for the people at that time. I want to make a design to reflect the time dimension, therefore, to MEMORIZE this tragedy. With experiences walking along the route, there is a power in the symbolism bestowed upon the place rooted in the act of sadness and remembrance. The new tourist route use numbers as clues to lead people walking through some key events and people in this incidence. For those who SACRIFICED and SUFFERED, memorizing them is the least thing we could do in the name of EQUALITY.

The major part of the section, the MONUMENT, lies below the famous Bridge of Death. The monument consists of three ramps, three water pools, and three stone craved with words telling the heroes' stories. Another ramp connects the two sides of the bridge, and the ramp was paved with reflective marbles and rough concrete on its side.

Looking down from the Bridge of Death, people could only see three ramps, corresponded to three sets of monuments. The Abyss-like Ramps were like the scar of the earth caused by the disaster. When staring down, they will feel heavy and curious about what’s beneath.

4th CONFESS PODIUM OF 1 SCIENTIST The last section is located at the Central Plaza of city Pripyat, surrounded by the city’s landmarks. I attempt to use circles and walls to create a space representing the SCENE of Professor Legasov, making a report of the Chernobyl incident at the World Atomic Energy Association. Professor Legasov was punished by the USSR government because he told the TRUTH to the world. Eventually, he had to commit SUICIDE so that he could alert the world by drawing people’s attention to his last MANIFESTO - his own recording. How IRONIC was it? At the entrance of this section, after reading the story of Professor Legasov, people will feel a sense of SARCASM. After walking through walls, “seats” and finally standing on the stage, people can see all the magnificent buildings or, more specifically, used to be magnificent, they will LAMENT what’s in their sight, caused by telling lies.

And it was here that a fatal mistake was made, due to which, specifically, Chernobyl began. WAHT IS THIS FATAL MISTAKE? The whole world recognizes the normal safety standard for any dangerous production, including nuclear power plants ...

Space As Captial [Revitalization of Slums and Outdated Industry Area In Sao Paulo] DATE: 2019.10-2019.12 SIZE: 2,110,244 m2 WORK TYPE: Group Work COLLABORATOR: Zhentong Lun CONTRIBUTION: Research(90%), Design(80%), Modeling(100%), Graphic(50%) INSTRUCTOR: Hao Hu
INTROUDUCTION | Beyond the local scale, amid the grave environmental, health, and social inequality facing the world, how can landscape architects make a difference? I start to focus on the world's slum problems on this project. The site is in Sao Paulo, one of the most prominent areas of SLUM PROBLEM in Brazil. I tried to decode the problem of POVERTY and the corresponding solutions from the perspective of capital through sociology; I also quoted the theory of "SPATIAL CAPITALIZATION, CAPITAL SPATIALIZATION" to transfer the content of sociology. In the process, I read the urban theory of David Harvey and Henri Lefebvre to prove that in the context of the city, through social relations, space and capital can be interchanged. I proposed a ‘survival capital’ concept which involves increasing cross-disciplinary and cross-social class collaboration. This plan allows the people who live in the slum no longer be out of touch with social development but can keep up with changes in the world, so as to achieve relatively fair social justice.

Bring Back The Identity [Transformation of Streets in Ethnic Groups Community] DATE: 2020.08-2020.09 SIZE: 22,511 m2 WORK TYPE: Group Work COLLABORATOR: Chen Yang CONTRIBUTION: Research(70%), Design(70%), Modeling(100%), Graphic(50%) INSTRUCTOR: Chongxian Chen
INTROUDUCTION | I tried to explore the issue of justice due to ETHNIC IDENTITY difficulties. Located in a central district in Guangzhou which is now the political and cultural center of Guangzhou. This is the place where Guangzhou's Manchu and Hui ethnic groups and other 16 ethnic minorities live in. And this area was one of the LARGEST ETHNIC GROUPS SETTLEMENTS in my city. After several field trips, I found that the local youths of the ethnic groups do not speak the language of their own group, nor can they recognize their language. From the research, I found that the communities are very ISOLATED from each other, the neighborhood LACKS PUBLIC SPACE for better communication or even public activity, and of course, the LACK OF ETHNIC IDENTITY. So I designed a new version of the streetscape with different ethnic elements to raise the sense of culture, and I proposed public spaces in different scales with multi-functions to ENHANCE THE COMMUNICATIONS between each group. Through orchestrate all kinds of events in public spaces in the community, tourists can also participate in the festival celebrations of ethnic minorities with them, and elders of different ethnic groups can also participate in community activities during non-holidays.

INTROUDUCTION | In the context of GLOBALIZATION and URBANIZATION, the development of markets and capital is often at the expense of ECOLOGY. This kind of CONTEMPT for ecological value and destroy the natural environment in exchange for economic development is ECOLOGICAL INEQUALITY. The site is a typical water town in the south of China. However, due to the urban development of Guangzhou, water pollution caused by the upstream industries and maritime transport industry, the upstream water was polluted, the environment of the fishing village was destroyed, and the villagers had to go ashore and enter the city to find a new way to make a living. I tried to use the original space model of the site's SYMBIOSIS between people and water: Sandisfield reclamation, mulberry fish ponds, and living along the water, to build a chain relationship between site circulation and symbiosis and restore ecological functions. I intend to reiterate the importance of ecological space and alleviate the vicious circle between city and ecology. This state of mutual benefit and symbiosis between human and ecology is the ECOLOGICAL JUSTICE I hope to achieve.

INTROUDUCTION | Project located at College Point, right next to the flushing creek, where its shoal line is COMPLETELY OCCUPIED by factories, shopping malls, storage, etc. Back in the day, these structures made flushing thrive, but now, to live a better life, people need a public waterfront area more than factories. The objective is to VOICE the concerns of the suppressed laborers and address the environmental degradation of the site while explorin g opportunities for a REVITALIZED public realm. The INDUSTRIES are a MAJOR contributing factor to air, water, and noise pollution. In studying the industrial fabric, we identified potentials in the vast concrete parking lots, vacant lands, and deteriorating hard waterfront edges that do not respond well with time and tide. The community’s anecdotes helped us shape the on-ground experience of an industrial worker and a resident of College Point. Cleary was documenting the detachment between the two and the site. Through strategies: Waterfront REMIDIATION and pollution MITIGATION, CONNECTING the people to the waterfront. Eventually, we try to transform the industrial fabric entirely would help realize our vision of a RESILIENT and SUSTAINABLE waterfront.

Industrial plazas would be introduced in the nodes of manufacturing plants where laborers can relax during their breaks in between the long working hours under shaded areas. These workers will also be connected to the community space and the waterfront.
Water Front Transformation
The waterfront access that you all have dreamt of for so long. The project would include a wetland restoration that consists of walking trails and fishing decks to promote an enriched relationship between the community and the waterfront. The industries would no longer be a barrier, but rather a vibrant connective tissue that promotes social cohesion and new cultural experiences. 41

Decentralize the river [Atlanta After Property - The Chattahoochee River] DATE: 2021.09-2021.12 SIZE: 3,301,889 m2 WORK TYPE: Group Work COLLABORATOR: Aishwarya Mathukumilli, Surabhi Rajendra Dahivalkar, Rae Lei CONTRIBUTION: Research(60%), Design(80%), Modeling(90%), Graphic(50%) INSTRUCTOR: Emanuel Admassu, Nina Cooke John, Chat Travieso, Lexi Tsien, Nupur RoyChaudhury
INTROUDUCTION | In the regime of property, the river and the spaces along it are COMMODIFIED, PRIVATIZED, and CLAIMED by individuals or entities. We imagine the world after-property where the RIVER and ECOLOGY are the PRIMARY STAKEHOLDERS. In this world, the river and nature’s right is utterly fulfilled, which human beings can COEXIST with, without invading them. Throughout history, from an ancient civilization, colonization, and industrialization, the fabric created had affected and damaged the flow and changed the width of the river and creeks. As a response to this, we imagine a world after property with a new fabric BROUGHT BACK by the creeks, using these creeks to BREAK the existing urban grid, DECENTRALIZING the rights that have been attached to the river, and eventually DISMANTLING the existing regime of property. In this world of After-property, the rights of ecosystems are thoroughly accomplished, and humans coexist and adapt to the new living environment. The goal is to REESTABLISH the sense of belonging people hold to land, to be a sense of belonging contributions to these systems that cater to the ecology. The river and the creeks are COMMUNITY MEMBERS, where it should be respected, without being owned or claimed.

Zoom in to our site, the railway on the east part is segregating the community from the upper part and the lower part; with the residential area at the east part privatizing the creeks’ flowing area; the warehouse commodifying the land; and the coal-burning plant claiming and polluting the river.
DESIGN STRATEGY Starting from 4 scales we defined during site analysis, we proposed 4 different scaled interventions, which are breaking the infrastructure, connecting communities, removing and preserving part of the industry and finally, add and dissolve the modules into the landscape. Atlanta Downtown
Our concept is to break the existing urban grid and create a new organic fabric with diverse connections by bringing back the creeks. We are using creeks to cut the property lines. The buffer next to the water system is designed as the floodable territory of the creek and the river. It is simply and purely for ecological rejuvenation, for the purification of water and biodiversity. 46

We are trying to shift the sense of belonging people hold to land into a sense of belonging based on contributions to these new systems that cater to the ecology in the buffer. The territory of the river isn’t for human occupation but rather a neutral zone where people interact with water and floodable landscape. These zones are responsible for taking care of nature and remediating the ecology.

Data Analysis
INTROUDUCTION |
[Police Shooting Analysis]
The goal of this report is to provide the state government with an overview of the Police Brutality by examining the relationship between shooting counts and other factors, such as the race, year, and geolocation. Throughout the analysis, we will present several plots, tables, and comments to come to a conclusion that can serve as a reference, helping the state government to reform policies for the police department, and better train police officers. Further information and process of the data can refer to the ipynb-file.
DATE: 2021.12 WORK TYPE: Group Work COLLABORATOR: Xintong Zhang
From the dataset, we try to understand which color of people counts the most shootings, which state counts the most shootings; Overall, from 2015 to 2019, how many shootings had happened to different races in different states. In addition, what is the trend of the yearly increasing rate of each color of people.

MIXOLOGY
MY DRINKS
[Mixology Is About Mixing Drinks and People] For me, mixology is not only about making cocktails but also about creating and communicating with people, just like design. While designing, we designers have certain regulations to follow, and under regulations, we try to bring our customers the best and most creative answers. So was mixology. R ecipes are essential, for sure. but what's more important is what people wanted to drink. when making cocktails, we have been trying to express our attitude in the drink, which more like a "feeling" of comfort, for both drinkers and the cocktail maker “What I want to learn is in the books, what I want to say is in the drinks.”
