Concept Sketch
The sketch is a quick way for people to feel the site. From this picture of sketch, I want to express the strong geometrical pa ern and land- form. This landform will create an enclosured space. Surronding slopes will emphasize the center stage. It will give people an urban stage and collect people to come here. The sketch’s main idea wants to show the separa on of land, and the landform will enhance the ability of water collec on.
People can’t see through the field, the surrounding high density plants will create a natural wall, which will blur people’s eyes. The green wall is a way for people to make a mysterical feeling. Everyone has curiosity, which will lead people to explore something. I want the site can give people this kind of curiosity to come in. Although it is a very small site, it also could give us mul ple possibility to stay here. This is also a powerful point to make this kind land to connect together.

Design Strategy Topic: Water use in Louisiana agriculture. Louisiana agriculture serves as an example of basic industry for the state economy. Louisiana’s flat topography, and surface water resources combined with the humid subtropical climate permits the growing of a great number of crops in the state. It is ranked 3rd nationally for rice production, and the other top crops in Louisiana are corn, sugarcane, soybeans, and tobacco. Those production would not be possible without irrigation. About 70% of the 800 million gallons per day (Mgd) withdrawn from the Chicot Aquifer in Southwest Louisiana is estimated to be used for rice irrigation. The population growth, the urban expansion, the sea level rising results in lost cost, and the saltwater intrusion threaten water demands and water quality in agriculture activities. Besides, the traditional agriculture water use caused many issues such as water wastage, pesticide pollution, soil erosion and degradation.
Design Process
According to the big-picture thinking of national context and Louisiana regional agricultural condition, the site will be designed as a new-tech experiment zone of agriculture water use. The main role of the project is to create a sustainable place for cleaner and greener agriculture water use research integrated with related markets and recreational space. The research place can be used by Southern University with other research institute, and will be open to farmers and public. The site will be connect with Baker neighborhoods and Southern University campus to activate the space value. Our team is going to use LID design tools and agriculture water conservation, cleaning and recycling method to study the site.
