Revealing the Lost Creek
The black creek has changed several times in history. The historic pattern of the river is much more meandering than the present one. These changes are all caused by urbanization, and accumulated influence by historical development and surrounding environment. Therefore, the project aims to bring back the historic river through bringing back the flow of people instead of the flow of water. The channelized black creek functions as a flood mitigation. However, in the past, the river was curved and flowed randomly. Therefore, we want to let people know how free the historic river was.
As the existing flooding risk and programing, there are three zones on our site: recreation, restoration, relaxation. People can experience three different atmospheres and activities in these zones. Moreover, during flooding period, unique scenarios can be seen in these zones and provide the habitats for wildlifes.

The Vanishing Sunrise
“One of the most powerful symbols for the life force is the Sun”(Canadian Heritage Information Network, 2003). Some mysterious topography or devices found to be used for observing the sun in some ancient indigenous sites . Some spiritual leaders have special knowledge of Sun and other celestial bodies. These indigenous astronomers used this knowledge for observational topography or devices to observe sunrise which can be used as a solar calendar to determine when to plant and harvest and gather for ceremonies. However, due to the density of buildings in the urban environment. People rarely have the opportunity to see sunrise and realize how important a role it had in terms of time marker in the past.
Therefore, we want to use topography to point out the direction of sunrise on the summer solstice, spring and fall Equinoxes and winter solstices to evoke discussions about the vanishing sunrise and create a new sun calendar in U of T west campus.

Sun Movement
We calculated the orbit of the sun on West campus by using longitude and latitude and got the angle of sunrise at the equinoxes and solstices. However, due to the sunrise is blocked by buildings, we intended to commemorate the vanishing sunrise by highlighting the direction of the sunrise on these three special dates.

Site Plan
Based on the previous strategy, we placed these fragments into the site and changed the topography to fit with the existing building entrances and topography. The height of each fragment decreases gradually from north to south, due to the sun's southward movement route. Each of them is lower than the northern ones for preventing the shadow blocked into the channels.

Have Fun
Rees Park is located on Toronto's waterfront. There are many parks built along the waterfront, but most of them do not offer many activities that can be done in the parks. These parks are usually only used for static activities. The area is also filled with traffic noise from the Gardiner Express on the north side and Queen Quay on the south side. Thus, this project seeks to provide more activities for people at the waterfront and transform this place from a noisy environment to a place where people can play freely.
Recently, the trend of skateboarding, parkour and some other urban sports have been growing and becoming popular among young people. While some sports may seem dangerous, they are beneficial for people's physical and mental health. However, most public spaces are not very welcoming to skateboarders and parkourists. For this reason, the project aims to offer a space for urban sports users. In addition to providing a venue for these urban sports, this project also provides viewing opportunities for the public to learn more about these sports. In addition, it also provides space for recreational activities.
The goal of the project is to let everyone can find their own space to have fun in Rees Park.

Landscape of Power
The thesis topic is exploring landscape and its role as an expression of power. Historically in Taiwan, monuments and architecture are used to express political authority. The western core district of Taipei has been a central location for the national government and its symbols since the founding of Taiwan. The buildings in this district are government-led and controlled. Over time, outdoor space has gradually transitioned to more public use for residents’ daily activities, demonstrations, and protests, reflecting the more democratic voice of the people. This project aims to further establish this democratic relationship through landscape by connecting the past and the present, creating spaces for true public use, and encouraging a new relationship between the government and the people.

Issue
There are bronze statues of Chiang Kai-shek all over Taiwan. However, many bronze statues have been removed over time with development and urban construction. The authoritative imagery represented by these bronze statues has quietly disappeared, demonstrating Taiwan's gradual transformation from an authoritarian to a democratic society. Does the removal of the statues represent a step forward in Taiwan's democratic society? Or is it an erasure of historical memory? How can landscape participate in this issue?

Historical Development of the Site
Existing Condition Analysis
The existing landscape design of the site was primarily focused on strengthening authoritarian power of the buildings, including circulation, tree planting method, etc., without considering the surrounding urban context and user needs. In Taiwan's hot and rainy climate, shade is essential for people's activities. The site's political significance and proximity to the capital's transportation hub make it not only a local neighborhood space but also a site used by citizens, leading to occasional protests and huge events.

Design Strategy
Removing Symbols of Authoritarian Power:
This includes removing some non-functional structures and elements that symbolize authority and reducing the prominence of authoritative buildings.
Breaking the Symmetrical Layout and the Dominance of Buildings: Create a new landscape identity for the site:
The symmetrical layout of the space will be broken up by demolishing walls in an asymmetric approach to create a more cohesive space. The central axis will be shifted towards a more inclusive public realm facing all directions with more entrances and exits, and it will become a green urban corridor connecting the city.
Rather than being dominated by buildings, the site will be transformed with a new groundscape that welcomes people and provides space for public uses. By prioritizing the needs and desires of the people, it will become a public realm for the public instead of the government.
Proposed Condition
The public promenade spaces of the Presidential Office and the Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall will be integrated and connected through a cohesive paving design, with multiple entrance based on the surrounding urban context, and different circulations on the ground and elevated levels to create diverse connections and relationships with the buildings. The use of terrain elevation, pavilion roofs, and ground plane shifts will reduce the sense of building height oppression while providing new dominant landscape features. Some existing vegetations will be preserved, like cherry blossom, and native species will be introduced to increase biodiversity. Diverse planting methods will provide varied activity spaces.
Considering the needs of different user groups, daily and large-scale event spaces, diversified, scalable, and flexible usage spaces are provided to encourage spontaneous activities by the people. Additionally, certain areas are designated for community engagement and participation, providing a more diverse range of spaces to promote community involvement.

The Healthy City
Since 2019 pandemic has struck our lives and changed our living styles. An increasing number of research indicates that people who live with pre-existing chronic disease will tend to have severe illness and mortality to Covid. We are obviously not prepared to face this sudden epidemic, and many people even lost their lives as a result. So, what and how can we prepare to confront the next health crisis?
Most chronic disease are related to two main reasons: exercise and healthy food access. Among those influential factors, food security is one of the major concerns in the Toronto region. And due to the effect of the pandemic, food access became a more serious situation for neighborhoods that were already having difficulty accessing food. According to news, Toronto is also facing issues for healthy food distribution. For example, neighborhoods in Scarborough are having limited access to food.

Focus Issue
By examining overlaps between "Chronic disease condition" and "food vulnerable neighborhood", we determine which neighborhood in Toronto needs improvement the most. Henceforth, Scarborough East, which has existing challenges in food access and health concerns, is the selected design action zone for the health city.
In comparison to the average health problem with the city of Toronto, each of the disease rates is higher than the city's average rates. Based on the research, two major diseases on site are diabetes and high blood pressure. Both of the diseases imply insufficient access to healthy food and exercises.

The Heart of Zhudong
The Zhongxing River, originally named the ‘Laundry Space’, in the heart of Zhudong runs through a prosperous area of the town from south to north. This drives the development of surrounding towns and carries the pulse of Zhudong’s history and culture. With the acceleration of the urbanisation process, the lifestyle of local people has changed. The life of the old town, which was naturally comfortable, has ceased to exist. Instead, the existing conditions of reinforced concrete, lack of historical context and backward infrastructure are have developed. The problem of the river is also growing and residents of Zhudong are increasingly forgetting its existence. The unique characteristics of the town are no longer there.
To counter this, we conducted a comprehensive review and repair of the waterfront and surrounding space by the Zhongxing River. We want to maintain the waterfront environment, connect resources in the area and make walking system and sightseeing route for Zhudong. The intention is to provide a complete leisure network by recreating the ‘laundry space’ and waterfront, forming a new version of the old living style in Zhudong.

Today's Challenges in Zhudong
Due to the expansion of the city and development of technology, the problems of the watercourse as the mother river of Zhudong increased. The existing historical culture of Zhudong began to decline as the waterfront space was occupied and the river was polluted. In addition, Hakka culture along the river gradually faded away. The river was gradually forgotten by people and the connection between human activities and water environment ended.

The original Hakka Opera Park was reorganised and the road between the central market and waterfront was adjusted to allow only pedestrians to pass. The distance from the waterfront was also brought closer. Adjusting the slope of the grass slope made it slowly descend, creating numerous spaces for rest.
Pedestrianising the road between the central market and waterfront reduces the distance from the waterfront. The facade of the reconstructed community public space is refurbished and provides a variety of convenient services.

Wildlifes Live Matters
Riverdale Park is divided into two pieces by the DVP(Don Valley Parkway), Bayview Avenue, and railway. These traffic infrastructures completely divide the natural area and ravine. And, wildlife usually lives on both sides of rivers and move along rivers. Traffic infrastructures block wildlife migration and movement routes, causing roadkill, especially in highways and express that are much wider than roads and faster speed for driving.
The roadkill affects not only the life of wildlife but also the safety of drivers. A statistics report presented that there are 10% of vehicle accidents happened due to wildlife crossing, and 14 thousand wildlife collisions happened each year in Ontario. As a result, the project aims to reduce roadkill around Riverdale park and to ensure the safety of drivers.

The river channel will be directed into the west site, which traces the historical route to provide various types of environment and as a corridor for wildlife. With the meandering river channel, the flooding plain will decrease and lead less damage.
To consider for different users, complete circulation system provides opportunities for various human flow, connecting both sides of Riverdale park and neighborhood.
There are four typical types of wildlife corridors, respectively are upland culvert, overpass, viaduct, and riparian culvert. These corridors are distributed at different location based on the existing environment and limitation, building a complete wildlife crossing network base on existing conditions.

Very few tourists come to the quiet little village of Linjiao and the younger generation is seriously diminished. In the process of visiting the village, we found that the ageing rate greatly exceeded our expectations. Once a village lacks a young population, it will lose a certain vitality. During our visit, however, we found that there were many beautiful secrets there. The village leader sang a song and the lyrics talked of ten attractive spots and stories, which brought a lot of emotion. More people need to experience the beauty of the village. The scenery here can become a memory that makes the elders proud and the village can regain its vitality and continue to develop a charming culture.

" A song / Ten pictures / Ten stories / A memory "
Concept
With continuously ageing society, more elderly people living alone has become a social problem that cannot be ignored. We plan to create a novel art installation with tradition relating to a lonely old man who cares for Lingjiao, to make the elderly feel warm and arouse the nostalgia of young people at the same time.
Through ten different photo frames, with the well-known songs of Lingjiao, ten different expressions of ten memories are presented in the frames.
From above, the ten sets of photo frames are arranged in Chinese characters, which means missing and each photo frame is the memory of old people. This evokes the old man's thoughts on the glory period of ancient Linjiao, but also evokes homesickness in the younger generation who inherit their love for Linjiao.

Construction Drawings
Location: Bahen Centre for Information Technology, University of Toronto, Toronto, Canada
Professors: Fadi Masoud
Project Annual / Level: 2022, MLA Site Technology
The assignment is to create a set of construction drawings to understand the process of its construction through on-site observation and research.
The site is located at the south side of the Bahen Center for information technology and is surrounded by other buildings of the University of Toronto. The site is a popular outdoor pocket for students looking to take a break and enjoy the serene surroundings. It is also designed with rain cycle demonstration to support the building's need and to reduce the stormwater runoff loads on the city system.

Parametric Design Practice
Professors: Matt Perotto
Annual / Level: 2022, MLA Site Technology
The assignment is an exercise in creating several different versions of designs to support design projects through Grasshopper. It is based on the comprehensive studio design project (Revealing the lost creek).
Flooding is an issue that usually happens in Smythe Park. Therefore, this assignment I would like to create is a pavilion located at the entrance of the swimming pool to provide a rest space for birds during flooding period.
