[OBJECTIVES OF WORKS]
[CONTENT]
[Placemaking for uniting and diversifying] In the first half of this six-year landscape architecture journey, I was focusing on place-making for uniting and diversifying, that is to help solve some of the social issues together with the environmental issue through the approach of landscape design. To achieve this goal, I participated in projects in some ethnic minority autonomous regions in China and Ethiopian community in Seattle to help with social integration, as the 2rd-4th work presents in this portfolio.
[Community Gateway on 15th ave.E]
[Placemaking for storytelling] For the latest part of this journey my design objective switched to creating once in a lifetime experience and human-centered place-making. Participatory design is one of my study focus that I have developed a game-like experience for helping engage young people in public participation. Also, I figured the subtle connection between virtual and built environment, that some of the playful and memorable experience could also be found other than fiction.

Site: William Place Park, Seattle, WA
•
Tools used: Rhino; Adobe suites; Lumion

Instructor: Nancy Rottle
The restrictions and opportunities of the isolated William Place make it intriguing to me: how might we help transfer a problematic piece of land into a community gateway? Though recognized as an unsafe place by residents because of traffic and shades, William Place has more potentials to become a center of 15th Ave E from the commercial, ecological and social perspectives. Resources as adjacent Safeway, abundant greeneries nearby, and transit stop on site make it possible for a prospective public space. Project Location + Picture of site and survey result

Step 1
01 isolated park
According to the survey, William Place is the most problematic area around 15th ave E neighborhood because of awkward J-walk and the thick shade of the park. Step 2
02 synthesize resource
By synthesizing the resources like green, commercial, and view,. Rethinking the traffic circulation around William Place. Step 3
03 expand green and realign streets
By realigning street at the same time expanding the greenery, creating a community gateway as a form of public green space. Step 4
04 develop a center
Peel up a corner of the green space to form a platform for the great view, at the same time create community center underneath. Step 5
05 residential/ commercial balance 6
Add more residential with live-work space, activate the alley as a commercial catalyst.

Every resident is role-playing in this game using the first-person perspective to explore the proposed model to get an immersive expereince of the space. Communicate and interact with other residents is also supported
Chat and toolbox Input and post opinions here to the public for discussion
Facilitate public engagement by embedding video game mechanics in participatory landscape design: capturing users’ in-game behavior and conversation as feedbacks helping city and designer improve the proposal before putting into construction; playing the game itself could be an educational tool to acknowledge residents the potentials of a space.

Usingthe catalogs of wind and current concept design, from begining of studies, the landform is designed and shaped to perform as protection that prevent sand washing and eliminate the loess carried by river. So we analyzed the condition by using Acoustic Doppler Currentthe Profilers (ADCP), technology by Ningxia bend to the end supported of bend. It is University.

However, the site’s geological condition -a flow of water carrying a huge amount of sandworsening in recent years, further threatening the fragile hydrological environment downstream of Yellow River in other provinces of China.

Site: Beijing, China Time: Oct-Nov 2016 Type: collaborated with Jing Wang, Duyun Dong Tool: Rhino; SketchUp, Adobe Suites
Purpose and Objectives: Instead of superficially copying the mysterious of its oriental skin, we translate the traditional garden by indicating the core value of it: the captured elements from the garden became the shape and form; the extracted value of education is embedded into an interactive experience, inspiring more positive learning when roaming outdoors for kids.
