The objective of this studio, with a collaboration with ‘Shanghai Landscape Design Institute’, was producing [IDEAS]. By experimenting sequential idea mapping drawing, not only what to represent and design but also how to represent [IDEAS] became more important.

Our surrounding is an inconstant art. All living and non-living creatures have their own expression with various colors, fragments, shapes and gestures. Nature carries energy from here to there as diverse forms. Plants and animals bloom and dormant in response to seasons. Cities rise and fall as time goes by. Among all of these, we care more about what's around us, things that we have an immediate awareness; lands where we live on. We have abilities to access everywhere on the planet. We already discovered all the places where people can form a society. Then, what is our immediate future and next generation we should think about? And in this diverse and specialized world, what is our job as landscape architects?

It is easier to write on empty paper than well edit it. Same thing happens in places where we occupy the land. We need to care about the places more precisely where we built with less concerns. This is very challengeable idea. We are not talking about major cities in the world. Though some neighborhoods have been developed with less concern, they are still in better situations than marginal regions because they are being taken care by world's most intelligent. What we should more care about is the place where has chance to lose their indigenousness such as new born town, planned region for redevelopment and abandoned by economic siftings or speculation. If architects job is not just building an object but creating a social object, landscape designers job is also to provide very limited implementation for social beauty. Social beauty is based on the indigenousness of the place. It is about what's already on the land, such as man-made structures, parks, natural habitats, and most importantly, their own life cycle. The social beauty has to be discovered from its indigenous life. As it is already mentioned, our surrounding is constantly changing and everything has its own aesthetic. Since our villages, towns and cities form certain society, their indigenous aesthetic needs to be grow with their society. Jens Jensen said in his book 'Sifting' that "Art grows out of native soil. It cannot be imported from foreign shores and be our own". In certain way, the expression of 'Social beauty' recognizes the limit of human's capability. We can imitate, mimic or copy natural land art but none of them are real. Human do not have abilities to draw original land art, it could only be done by nature. Thus, in order to establish social beauty, we should rather take into consideration of people's activities than endeavoring in forming natural landscape. Paradoxically, considering more toward human being, not individual person or group, will give us more naturally healthy landscape. Physical landscape intervention should be very limited. People historically wanted to bring nature in front of them as various forms of garden and parks. Now this idea needs to be reversed. We are approaching to the landscape and discovering what we have around us. We share our landscape, not possess them. We need to stop thinking of going fastest and the most efficient way to get one point to another. We are living in the society of maximum speed. We need to go slow and we can detour so that we get to know who lives next to us and what's around us.

05. Pacific Connection The objective of the project is to provide consistent energy supply by one connected-submarine transmission line along the entire California coast line and seeking opportunities of transforming conventional local fishery industries into distribution industry and enhancing seabed marine hibitat which has been damaged by bottom crawl fishery operation.
