Academic Location: Yunlin, Taiwan Supervisor: Yu-feng, Wang Email: yufeng8885@hotmail.com Level Of The Project: Senior Carrying Out Date: 10/11/2017 I6I
Water is a vital element for the earth and agriculture. Yunlin is the most important argricutural city for Taiwan. However, now in Yunlin area, because of the seasonal rainfalling the water once farmers relyied on must be replaced by groundwater. In this circumstance, the condition of land subsidenceis getting worse. The agricultural water wastes discharge directly into the ocean. The use of water has reached a huge imbalance .So we are using landscape design to gather, purify and supply the short of water in order to push the water ciculation and bring hope to the ground.

Yunlin's great natural conditions make it the capital of agriculture of Taiwan, grand fields are all over its ground, but there are a lot of wasted water which should be used.

The argriulture has became a huge industry which requests a lot from mother nature.

Basic Discussion The base is located at Yunlin area. Because of the groundwater overdrafting, which may threaten the safety of the HSR, the golden way plan comes up.The upstream area has plenty of farmlands to produce agricultural wastes. The drainage channels and old waterways around the site make it possible to gather the water which are probably flow straight into ocean.Using the natural elevation to flow the water.This site is surrounded by a abandoned drainage channel. Use that channel to let the stream in and out.
The Concept Of Water Level
The altitude difference of the site is about

4 metres. The result of which we use the minimum discharge slope to calculate the necessary altitude difference of the site
Minimum Discharge Slope
is 6 metres.If the water is supposed to be

purified and permeate into the ground,the height is not enough unless we dig ‘the hole’ deeper which might hurt the roots of local trees. However it makes us easily

Use waterways as the containers. When water is about to overflow, it will go through the exit which towards the area of different process. As a result, the waterway will keep overflowing. And because of the characteristic of waterlevel,we are able to send the water to everywhere in the site.

02 The oranjepolder Design of an tidal park down river Maas
Academic Location: Rotterdam, Netherlands Supervisor:Nico Tillie Email: N.M.J.D.Tillie@tudelft.nl Level Of The Project: Master I Carrying Out Date: 10/1/2019 I 16 I
In the west of The Netherlands, (water) cities expanded and developed into the economic heart of the country. One of those lowlying areas, due to its geographic and economic position developed differently. Our assignment-site, situated in the Rhine-Meuse riverdelta of Europe is the (urban) river, polder and coastal landscape of Rotterdam.For a long time the river Maas and Nieuwe waterweg were mainly seen as a highway for shipping. The potential and function of the river for the city and inhabitants from a leisure, and ecological point of view were only considered in the past few years. In fact the largest natural system with a tidal river and potential regional park lies in the center of the city. The orange polder is one of the areas lying besides the Maas river. And it is a perfect site for the development of ecological and leisure tidal park in the area.

The Test Of Water Permeation
The Test Of Water Breakthrough As we simulated the process of tidal change, there came up one breakthough point, though we think this point's existance should have anything to do with the tide. Under the limit of the experiment, we can not make a decisive view.
Under the circumstance of one break point, the process of sediment and erosion is quite typical. Firstly, the process of sedimentation.The water flow will form a little heap in the area between break point and the dike behind. As for the process of erosion, water flow will take the material of the broken dike and waterway to the inside and form the heap. And also the dike behind will be eroded. Tide creates a breakthrough point
The result of experiment
More Breakthrough Point...
Dike without structure First we tested the original permeate condition. We would like to observe the natural ability of sand to absorb water from the river. And we noticed the wet area was very vast and deep inside the first dike. Which indicated the sand dune is just like a sponge and provide the possibility to create a wet land for some particular vegetations.
Two breaekpoints
Three breakpoints
The breakpoints are getting wider
The Test Of Reducing The Impact Of Tide---Structure
Dike with defending structure
Control experiment : With different kind of defences
The result of control experiment
As a contrast, the dike which was added the man-made boundary didn't have the equal ability to absorb water. And it can well prevent the water permeation. Though there was still some water can get in because of the inaccuracy of making this structure. However, I believe in the real situation there will still be some permeation from the bottom of the dike.
Use series of experiments to simulate the different scenerio of the dike in order to help form the final design intervention.
The part without defence is obviously the most fragile part for the dike under the impact of tidal change.
The vegetation fence is a effective way to reduce the impact. Though there is a concern about the strength of the plants.
The artificial structure is the most stable way to stop the flow. In the experiment, the dike is well protected.

The tidal change are rapid. Normally from 1.5 meters plus NAP to -0.5 meters minors NAP. However there is an emergency level of 3m which should be considered.

INDIVIDUAL VISION The reuse of the dredging materials is divided into two parts. 1. Water storage -Summer is getting dryer -The upper and down stream area of green houses and farming lands are connected by boezem system 2.Recreation & Ecology -There is a break in the green system and also the sand dune system -Dwellers are lack of open parks

DETAIL PLAN FRESH WATER PARK
The main income of water is the rain water. Of course this park can be complement by boezem system. The rain drop per year is only 80mm. So it is not enough if the pond only gather the rain water itself. So the pond is designed to be able to gather the surronding area as three times bigger than itself. The little pond can be filled with water easily and start to overflow. The overlapping area is much easier to shape different kinds of waterscapes. The pedestrian system is simple because I wish to make the own way of the visitors and I can hardly predict the development of the natural erosion. Scale: 1/1000
I 26 I
I 27 I
The water will overflow when there is too much water to contain. The water will flow through the little pond and reshape the ground. The edges of the pond are especially suitable for amphibians to live.

Meertens Gravel Pit, the design site is located at the eastern area of Maastricht and so characteristic of South Limburg. South Limburg is the transition from the mountain area to the plain area. Different from most parts of Netherland, South Limburg is full of hills and even holds the highest ground of Netherland. The pit is 30 meters deep and protected from wind, which makes the temperature and humidity vast distinct in the area. In the shadow of the slope, the environment is always damp, cold and humid.However, in the slope that always facing sunlight can be dry and hot. Therefore, there are variety of species inside the pit. The area of this gravel pit is not facing any potential disasters. Though it might have a heavy rain and causing landslide, but in an area like this when the landslide happens it must not do big harm to any species. The natural succession of this pit goes well, the birches are going down and oaks will rise.

The city renewable is not so fast in Taipei. But the commercial shape of Taipei kept its upgrading pace. The manager of city always looks upon on architectures, so a lot of open spaces of the city are very old syle and not functional.Especially in those central areas. During the revolution of city, I think we should follow the pattern of history and play a beautiful song for our loving cities in public spaces.

With the upgrading of Dinghao plaza, the inner spaces are able to connect with outdoor public spaces. People can walk fluently in such arranged pedestrian. After history gives a certain pattern of a site, the site will have a stronh connect to city, so Dinghao stands up and becomes the rythem of Taipei.
