I highly embrace the power of the combination between landscape, architectures, cultural context, environment and technology, utilizing them to convert challenges to opportunities. Fulfilled by tactical design and research integrated into practice, I work to integrate people to their immediate environment across all scales, vehicle to pose and respond to complex, urgent questions in present both natural and social environment, as a landscape architect, planner, ecologist, and strategist.

LOTUS I WATER PLATFORM Lewis Smith Lake, AL
Dominated by different varieties of the humid subtropical climate, the Southeast United State has abundant water resource as well as lakes and reservoirs recreational cultures. Such
water and related activities have brought southeast area great participation and benefit. The design embraces the variation and adaptation of facility design. With equal length,
the individual platform can be interconnected with each other with abundant functions. Various dimensions of the platforms can support more various activities.

WATER MEDIA I RIVERSIDE PARK Chattahoochee River, Columbus, GA
The project explores the questions like what is the role of topography in linking people, place, and program? And how to uncover the latent potential of an aspect of an urban expanded territory as an archive of interrelated natural and cultural events?
Originating from material exploration——such a new design formal inspiration, the design attempts to provide critical river recreation in a new situation from a landscape perspective, in which landscape, sparked by the energetic flow of water,
exerts combinative power to simultaneously enhance urban connectivity, facilitate experiences and activities, create habitat and clean water.

Design Strategies for Spontaneous Urban Plants in Ruderal or Abandoned Urban Area Sweet Auburn, Atlanta, GA
In this research, SUP are defined as pioneer plants, whether native or alien, occupying in ruderal or abandoned urban area without human control. The first part of the research uses a process of literature review and case
study exploration to conduct an analysis of existing Atlanta flora and urban ruderal or abandoned areas. The second part of the research chooses a specific ruderal urban lot in the Sweet Auburn Historical District as a site. Drawing upon design-
as-research method, the site is used to test a range of potential approaches to the process of designing with SUP, focusing on the balance between controlled and uncontrolled.

+Context The site was used to be the Herndon & Atlanta Life Building, which was destroyed by hurricane in 2002. And the empty lot is used as a parking lot right now, with gravel pavement. There are a lot of local business around the site. The Sweet Auburn Heritage Festival will alos be hold every year on the site.

+Plant The plant community is very diversity here. Most of plants grew here are herbs and perennial, early succession. Invasive plants in Georgia like tree of heaven, spotted spurge, yellow wood sorrel, bermudagrass dominate most part of the plants here. But the rests are also very adaptive plants.
+Pavement The site consists of various types of pavement, including brick, step-iron, gravel, slit, and asphalt. Each type of paving materials can hold different habitat conditions.

GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE I Community Outreach Boykin Community Center, Auburn, AL
The Boykin Community Center is a multi-purpose civic space located in the northwest corner of the City of Auburn. It is an important community gathering location for the surrounding neighborhood and low-income housing development. Built in the 1970’s, the facility
is in need of renovation and modification to support the existing community needs and desires for modern programming and function. The City is currently exploring planning and design options for these renovations and modifications, presenting a simultaneous opportunity to
improve the Center’s “hydrologic footprint”. This project seeks to support this effort by demonstrating opportunities for providing thoughtful, innovative, respectful, and functional integration and design of Green Infrastructure.
