SPACE&TIME COORDINATES
World War II International Aviation Martyrs Memorial Park Location: Nanjing, China Type: Individual Project Duration: 2021.10-2021.11 Objectives: aviation martyrs，fighter，coordinate
The site is located in the Zijin Mountain Scenic Area. Compared with surrounding attractions, the original memorial has almost no attractive aspects. The research illustrates that this site did not fully exploit its potential as a memorial site. The central axis constructed in 1932 was completely isolated from the memorial park built in 2008, and there is only one trail connecting them. The so-called memorial site has only a few buildings and cannot show respect to the aviation martyrs. Therefore, it is necessary to redesign the Aviation Martyrs Memorial Park.
THE HISTORY OF THE SITE AND AVIATION DURING THE WAR
The Anti-Japanese Aviation Martyrs Memorial Park is located on the north side of Zijin Mountain. More than 300 aviation martyrs who died during World War II from 1932 to 1945 are buried here. The Aviation Martyrs Memorial was built in 2008, but it did not fully exploit its potential as a memorial site. So this project aims to redesign this aviation martyrs memorial park. Using the concept of a coordinate system of time and space to connect the entire venue, the storyline of boarding-fightingfalling narratives tells the last few hours of aviation martyrs' lives. Aviation martyrs from China and other countries who are buried here all have their own coordinates. This narrative memorial landscape helps us interpret and recall Anti-Japanese War history, thus reminding us who do not undergo wars to remember the past and cherish peace.

02 PEARL RESTORATION
Coastline Ecological Restoration of Pearl Island in the South China Sea and Xiuying Port Location: Haikou City, Hainan Province, China Type: GROUP Project (with Dian Yu) Duration: 2021.07-2021.08 Objectives: South China Sea Pearl Island, mangrove, dam With the economic development of Chinese cities, the Chinese government had a significant amount of land reclamation projects in coastal areas from 2010 to 2016. While tourism on artificial islands flourishes, it causes enormous impacts on the marine ecology. The Pearl Island project on South China Sea was forced to stop because it brought severe ecological damage to the surrounding waters and threatened the safety of the original coast. Following the initial artificial island planning, the design attempts to find a way to boost both ecology and economy. A series of methods such as dredging engineering, dam construction, and mangrove ecological corridor connection are proposed to create an ecologically balanced coastal environment.

EARLY STAGE OF CONSTRUCTION
CONSTRUCTION OF PROJECT 1
CONSTRUCTION OF PROJECT 2
1. China’s coastal zone is developing vigorously, t o g e t h e r w i t h H a i n a n ’s municipal planning and construction of artificial islands.
2. During the construction of the sea reclamation project, the dredging resultis in a large amount of suspended sediment.
3. The construction of artificial islands affects hydrodynamics, and aggravates erosion and deposit.
4. This project seriously affects personal safety and property loss.
5. The quality of seawater has declined, and a large number of original marine organisms have died, which has seriously affected the marine ecological balance.
6. After being evaluated by experts, it was finally forced to suspend work.

Human activities affect the ecosystem and the ecology. The collapse of the ecosystem poses risks to human lives and properties. The functions of the oyster habitat in their ecosystems, including their services and mechanisms. The filtration capacity of this system manifests a new and creative form of bioremediation practices, which are responsive, adaptive, and effective for marine and coastal protection, implying the concept that “design with nature, solve nature with nature.”

Macau is the most densely populated city in the world, where the building density i s e xtr e m e l y h i g h , a n d th e green space rate is seriously insufficient. The main populations are crowded on the main island, which exacerbates the conflicts between people and land in Macau. Immigrant workers are an essential part of the population in Macau and are the primary labor force in Macau. However, the inability to enjoy the social welfare of residents and the differentiated salary makes them face huge difficulties.
MACAU LABOR DEVELOPMENT Macau returned to China in 1999.
The Gongbei Port was opened , lots of immigrant workers from Zhuhai entered Macau from here to seek job opportunities.
Lacking the public infrastructure, green space, and crowded social housing pressures immigrant workers.
The employment and living environment of immigrant workers has become increasingly difficult.
This site locates in the inner harbor of Macau's main island. Due to historical reasons and low living costs, it has become an area where most immigrant workers live. However, lacking public space and supporting facilities, the living condition of such a large population sharply contrasts with the suitable-living Zhuhai City across the Qianshanshuidao River. This project explores the potential green space in the Macau waterfront, formulates corresponding design strategies, visualizes Macau's traditional gourmet egg tarts, and finally increases the green space rate of the site by 70%. It creates a new coastal city landmark that showcases a united and friendly Macau.
THE HISTORY OF THE CITY
before 1831 1830s—1880s
1940s
1960s
1970s—1985 1985—2000s
Initially, Portugal colonized Macau and attempted land reclamation in the inner port to approach Zhuhai, but it failed. Later, due to the soft foundation of the reclamation, the site became a place for residents to build wooden houses to live. So it is also one of the earliest areas where immigrants and local residents co-live together.

The design aims to connect the separated greenery to form the continuous green line. It connects the two sides of the water to make the traffic flow through. Next, set the entrance and open the activity spaces according to the traffic flow. The next step is to enlarge the potential green spaces and connect them. Finally, reuse the old infrastructures remaining on the site.

The egg tarts create new activity space by the sea through temporary structures. This design retains the original green space as a runway for Macau citizens. Egg tarts and docks provide a small-scale area for immigrants to form a casual market. 'Driveway-sidewalk-the market' style accommodates the immigrant population and improves the communication between Macau citizens and the migrant population. Flow Analysis

RENT A EGG TART!
MAKE FRIENDS! Altough it’s hard for me to understand what you are talking about, there is no barrier in our conversation by the real-time translation in this application. This application is very good, I don’t have such a good software in the USA.
Boss, where shall we order dinner tomorrow.
Okay, I heard it’s very lively there.
Hello, we want to make an appointment at 12 noon.
No problem, but the seats are full today, you need to wait a while, I will arrange the number one table for you.
I am not a resident of Macau, I am from Zhuhai. It's really thanks to this software that I can meet everyone and become good friends.
Great, I'll rent an egg tart right now.
How about the egg tart market.
Business is good here today. They seem to be the guests who booked the number one table behind us just now.
HAVE A REST ON THE BRIDGE!
It would take a long time for them to line up. This table is big enough, why don't we let them join?
Yes. we are queuing because of too many people.
Hi, do you want to come and join the table to eat together? your kid should be hungry after waiting for so long.
Are you calling us? That's great, thank you!
Where are you?
She should be here soon.
I see you on the other side of the building！
There are plenty of seats here.
Shall we go to the egg tart market for a while? There are a lot of delicious and fun!
We are from Zhuhai, and our family often spend holidays in Macau.
Two places facing each other across the sea are now convenient to communicate.
Now the traffic is so convenient, you can come to Zhuhai at any time.
hey, how old are you? Guess!
We can meet together in Zhuhai next time.
We love coming here.
Absolutely yes!
Did you have fun today?

INCOPORATE WITH ARCHITECTURE The building uses the structure of the core tube to organically connect different parts together, and the core tube assumes the functions of basic facilities like elevators, fire-fighting stairs and washrooms for each floor. This cutaway perspective view shows the specific application of this building.
DETAILS OF HIGHLY CUSTOMIZABLE WORKPLACE Companies can rent shared offices instead of occupying a space for a long time. At the same time, this office can customize the pattern of the office according to the company's characteristics and requirements, and then hang it on the structural shelf. And the module can be removed when it is out of use So this workplace is replaceable and sustainable. 6M
