01 BE FRIEND WITH FLOOD

Landscape Planning and Design of Riverfront Green Space in Chengdu Qingbaijiang 1956 Grand Times Area

Location: Chengdu, China

Type: Urban Design, Groupwork

Role in team: Context Analysis(80%), Concept and Strategy(70%), Master Plan Drawing(50%), Module Design & Rendering(100%)

Qingbaijiang District is an important northeast ecological barrier of the whole Chengdu ecosphere. It is also an important section on the green ring of the city of Qingbaijiang District in the future, and the image section of the Green Belt Gateway of Wisdom Avenue.

As Qingbaijiang District is located in a flood relief area, how to live with floods is our main concern. On the city scale, according to the data, we identified the most vulnerable flood-prone areas in 20-year and 50-year floodplains and proposed resilient riverbanks to create a diverse landscape atmosphere in wet and dry seasons. On the local scale, ecological parks at different sections of the river were linked by ecological corridors with varying characteristics to bring people closer to the water and enrich their spatial experience.

PLANT CONFIGURATION ANALYSIS

The selection of aquatic plants mainly follows two ideas. First, has certain ecological functions, including water purification ability and ecological restoration ability. Second, has unique local characteristics in Chengdu.

02 THE CORNERS

Renovation of a pocket park in a hutong area within Beijing's Second Ring Road

Location: Dongcheng, Beijing, China

Type: Landscape Architecture, Individual

My family and I have a unique and deep affection for the Liupuang community outside Beijing's second ring road. My grandma and grandpa came to Beijing from the northeast of China during the reform and opening up of the country, and later settled in a house allocated to them by their unit, and eventually had our family.

Through the design of the community park, I hope that the elderly people living in the compound and in the hutongs will regain their enthusiasm for life, walking birds in the park, listening to comedy, singing Beijing opera, dancing in the square, playing shuttlecock, shaking bamboo, etc., and having a happy mood even on their way to buy groceries.

The Corner Park is located on the south side of the North Second Ring Road, adjacent to the old Gulou Street to the west, surrounded by hutong residential areas, and across the moat to the north is the Xinmin vegetable market and the family areas of many ministry compounds.

FLOATING TIME

Visitor-oriented transformation of a coastal industrial site

Location: Boston, America

Type: Landscape Architecture, Individual

With countless naval warships and derelict shipyards, the port of Boston bears witness to the rapid development of the United States in recent times. Today, Boston's harbour attracts many visitors with its excellent location, unique city skyline and delicious lobster. As a major international city, it is therefore imperative that the old shipyards are upgraded and improved.

In order to meet the needs of local residents and foreign visitors, to preserve the dockyard site and to restore the coastal ecology, I have selected three representative sites in the harbour for renovation. The use of topography and vegetation to rejuvenate dilapidated walls, to create activity areas and green open spaces, and to alleviate urban problems.

In summer, the sea water is filtered and fills the pool, where visitors can play in the pool, sunbathe in the square and enjoy

In winter, the central pool is frozen into an ice rink for visitors to skate and enjoy, ensuring that the site is available for all seasons

DANCE IN RAIN

Design of linear under-bridge spaces and rainwater recycling systems

Location: Haidian, Beijing, China

Type: Landscape Architecture, Individual

The site is located at the Wudaokou underground station on line 13, south to the Hualian shopping mall and north to the Tsinghua Tongfang office building. The site is surrounded by a complex nature of land, with many types of people.

As students of nearby universities, we affectionately call Wudaokou the “Centre of the universe”. I have translated my passion for the most central business district around the school into a flexible curved design language, hoping to breathe life into this negative space under the light rail bridge through the placement of green space and sports fields.

Rainwater recycling system

Permeable paving has been chosen for the whole area and the topography has been designed to collect rainwater from the square roads into the rain gardens. Water is also collected from the bridge through rainwater pipes and stored in a cistern for landscaping and watering when the dry season arrives.

Sunken stage Activities

The sunken stage adjacent to the exit of the metro station provides a venue for a wide range of people. The bleachers are arranged in conjunction with the topography to provide seating for outdoor performances; the piers of the light rail serve as natural graffiti sites, an expression of the youthful energy of the surrounding university students.

-Morphological composition: The scheme is inspired by the growth of trees inspired by the growth of the tree, the form mimics the trunk and crown of the tree. The form is inspired by the tree's trunk and canopy. The result is a vertical greening installation capable of hosting vines and a variety of flowers and grasses. The result is a vertical greening installation capable of hosting vines and a wide range of flowers and plants. The wood substrate will act as a large tree in the city, providing a climbing and provide a container and shade for herbaceous flowers. branches from nature and return to the natural habitat. The tree will act as a large tree in the city, providing a climbing trunk for vines and a container and shade for herbaceous flowers.

-Model construction: The base form of the Woody Tree model consists of The base form is created by the secondary branching of a main stem. After the basic form has been created, the Grasshopper plug-in is used to The basic form is generated and then optimised mechanically using the Grasshopper plug-in, so that the form conforms to the mechanical rules and aesthetically pleasing. Finally, the model was cut into The model was then cut into 7 parts and printed separately.
