The old industrial port of Beijing is being redeveloped as a new city center southeast of central Tianjin City, and linked to the capital city and the Bohai Gulf shore by high-speed train. The Tianjin New Binhai Master Plan details a comprehensive infrastructure system permeating a mixed-use district of high-rises, and open spaces. The high-density plan was developed according to key principles of sustainable design: providing accessible public transit, weaving a new generation of green spaces into the city, and promoting clean water. (Sources from SOM) The terminal station designed by SOM will become an icon of the new city not only because of its unique outlook, but also because of this importance in transportation, its size and location. So the landscape design round the station must echo its significance.

Official Landuse Proposal Green open spaces are scattered, not connected, not systemetically considerred. This is not beneficial to stormwater management, habitat protection as well as pedestrian circulation.

Water Water system is located at the east and south edge of the site, not very well incorporated into the site.

Transportation Pedestrain path system is not considerred into the overall transportation system wihich makes the site not pedestrian friendly.

Proposed Landuse Proposal Proposed urban land use tries to provide solutions to the challenges mentioned above. Adding more green open spaces to make them connected. Rerouting the water system and consider pedestrian system in the site.

bamboo therapy [Competition] 2010 / IFLA Student Competition Photoshop+Cad+Illustrator+Sketch up+Indesign Location: Xi'an, China Partner: Kuang Xin Instructor: Jack Ahern, FASLA In this project, we proposed a remediation system for purifying the moat of Xi’an city. This proposal creatively applies traditional methods of using bamboo and bamboo products.

By innovatively integrated the system with the historic moat, a sustainable “green infrastructure” is established, the value and spirit of the site are cherished and a pleasant environment is provided for people to visit and play.

The objective of this project is to change the traditional way of dredging the waste and refilling the moat with new water and providing a new sustainable way of dealing with the pollution in the moat. In addition, this project also celebrates the unfailing value of traditional Chinese culture – featuring the bamboo. By these methods, the project ultimately responds to the competition theme: Harmony and Prosperity – Traditional Inheritance and Sustainable Development.

The Moat and The Region Because of fast development and population growth, the use of water has increased significantly. The underground water level has dropped from -6.93m in 1983 to -12.65m in 2003 and almost -19m in 2009. In conclusion, a clean and nice moat would be a great treasure for people. A creative approach that can make the moat sustain itself is strongly needed.

The City Xi'an is the capital of the Shaanxi province in China and it is a sub-provincial city. Xi'an has been the capital (under various names) of some of the most important dynasties in Chinese history. The city is the eastern terminus of the Silk Road and home of the Terracotta Army which was made during the Qin Dynasty.

THE MOAT Xi'an’s city wall and moat was initially built during Tang dynasty (618-907) and was extended during Ming dynasty (13681644). The wall stood 12 meters tall, 12-14 meters wide at the top and 15-18 meters thick at the bottom. It covers a length of 13.7 kilometers with a moat of 14.7 kilometers. The moat has an average width of 27.6 meters and an average depth of 6.5 meters. Initially designed as defensive structure, the moat now acts as a heritage site combined with flood storage, water storage and sewage discharge function.

Pollutants in The Moat The moat was once a pleasant place for people to visit and play. However, in recent years, the water in the moat has become heavily polluted because of rapid urbanization and enormous growth of population. The stinky smell from the dark water keeps people away from the moat.

According to a recent survey, there are three kinds of pollutants in the moat: domestic sewage, industrial sewage, and stormwater runoff. Domestic sewage is the wastewater of daily life - a constant source of pollution.

Industrial sewage is generated by industrial production processes, adding specific chemicals and compounds to the water. Stormwater runoff flows from rooftops, paving and other urban surfaces, accumulating various contaminants along the way. Generally speaking, industrial pollution and stormwater are the most significant sources of pollution.

Besides the benefits provided by those products, the bamboo family is also one of the most effective plants for phytoremediation. Bamboo can take up the contaminants from water and purify it through a biofiltration process.

By means of a pyrolysis process, bamboo will be transferred into five different products(indicated by the diagram):1) Bamboo charcoal – an environmentally functional material that has excellent absorption properties; 2) Bamboo vinegar – a special liquid that can purify polluted water; 3) Bamboo tar – a special liquid that can detoxify pathogens; 4) Bamboo gas – for providing heat; 5) Waste gas.

Urban Farm

We envision an American fair rooted in reality. Human societies, like the planetary ecosystem of which we all constitute one part, exist in a state of dynamic non-equilibrium.

This balance is maintained only through constant motion and competing forces. The vast quasi no-man’s land, industrial waste areas, and paved expanses of stadium parking is NOT a blank slate. It is instead a record of 250 years of American trial and error.

These careless spaces at the confluence of the Delaware and Schuylkill River, were once marshes, low lying wetlands, islands, all vital constituents of an ecological and hydrological systems that connected the Appalachian Mountains to the Atlantic Ocean.

This location provided a vital function as a passage for anadromous fishes, like sturgeon, shad, alewife, and striped bass, and it acted as a filter, scrubbing excess nutrients and particulate from the river and tributaries before they flowed into the bay.

The last 200 years has been a period of rapid and destabilizing demographic, political, and cultural change. The vast migration toward the city, the ensuing construction of national identities, and the restructuring of cultures have all followed on a wave of successive and overlapping industrial revolutions. The history of the world’s fair, like the larger history of all modern centralized planning, is the history of swiftly industrializing societies, booming populations, and the desperate attempt of nations, municipalities, and planning agencies, to summarize these changes, to present a coherent image of the modern world, and to craft a normative vision of some future equilibrium toward which all this madness is proceeding.
