People gradually live INWARDLY exploiting the luxuries and convenience of modern life, but leave behind the joy and excitement of exploring different natural places of a city. And I regard that LANDSCAPE DESIGN is about a way to guide people to these natural places to live an OUTWARD city life. CONTENT

Brusque connection between old city and new city part.Lacking of proper buffer to assuage tension. Renovation combines locality lifestyle with modern wondering while visiting habits.
Apartments are too obsolete to fulfil modern living needs. By constructionally and spacefuly considering proofwork,people may live and travel there more joyful and safe.

Main Path
PlLANNING TO RENNOVATE THE OLD CITY FROM TWO ASPECTS: 2 By adding spur dikes
The spur-dike is a common important building which is usually used in river course improvement projects, controlling river trend, bend protection, beam attack sand and high water levels

Self-reconstruction
Channelization greatly improves river flood draining ability, but river loses its original natural characteristics.Meandering river helps to form defferent speed of water and erosion strength of a water environment, which facilitates the formationof diverse river habitas like river bend, shoal and wetland.
PHASE 3-AGROFORESTRY AMATURE
Habitat
Planting local vegetation communities for attracting native wildlife, birds, butterflies and fishes. Provides different habitats for animals

Reconstruction of Xian Tanghua Spinning Town
Description The site locates in between Chan river and Ba river in the south part of Xian city,Shanxi,China.It was surrounded by rail ways and city highway,but the connection with Xian main district is poor.Thus, the plan is based on the whole slow traffic system to focus on pedestrian and bicycle circulation to connect different city function areas,relate different nudes of city open space.With Spinning Box as embodiment standing at open square,the plan recalls people's memory of the once spinning town site,refletcs the spirit of places. In city area,neighborhoods,citizens and travelers can slow down and enjoy luxuries brought by this multi-functional area like neighborhoods service,wandering,light pinning culture exhibition,art workshops and innovating art bussiness.
