This is a portfolio of my past 3 semesters in Louisiana State University and Intern Experience. For me, any one of them is unique and precious .

Two years ago when I just started my master degree, it was not easy for me to learn landscape architecture with a bachelor background of industrial design. But I found that with my great interest and passion in planting, urban designing and traveling, each project gives me more than I expected. Now I am very pleased and confident in studio and positive to my future career.

Site Review

The study area is located at east side of downtown Houston. There are a large portion of abandoned vacant land, postindustrial brown field and heavy industrial factories on the site. Local residents can barely get any access to natural resource.

Also there is a disconnection of commercial from downtown Houston to local residential area. It is now an attraction dessert and a food dessert.

GRADIENT EODO(EAST OF DOWNTOWN HOUSTON) A Gradient Plan for PostIndustrial Area of Houston Category Landscape Architecture Individual Work Location Buffalo Bayou, East Side of Downtown Houston, TX, USA Date Fall 2016 Instructor Bruce G Sharky

History

Buffalo Bayou goes through Houston in east-west direction. It was developed as an important water transportation corridor for industries in the past when Houston relied heavily on industries such as logging, mining and oiling. With the development of social and economic, the East of Downtown Houston shows many problems- blighted, derelict, abandoned neighborhoods. Also pollution and flooding issues along Buffalo Bayou shows the necessity of redesign.

Design Prompt

In the studio I aim to explore how to fully integrate a river green-way with the surrounding commercial and neighborhood and how to create a vibrant, economic, and desirable urban environments. It is necessary to diversify Houston’s economic growth and urban development.

A further goal is to explore the potential of reconstructing the native habitat to support wildlife and the natural functions of a river system.

The location of the study area has potential to be an attractive place for the region. It has natural resources, Buffalo Bayou. It is near the economic center, downtown Houston. It located near two main interstates, I10 and I69. However it seems to be isolated from the metro city. Even it is next door to downtown, people can barely get to any public green space, educational center nor business engine. The study area is an attraction dessert now.

Private, small and local business spread over the study area. There are no connection between local small business and downtown commercial center. Proper link is needed.

There are a huge portion of heavy industries located on site including concrete factory, chemistry manufacture,sewage treatment and metal recycling. Some of them are moving away.

Bus lines lack connection to downtown. There are no attraction or commercial center along bus lines. There are no bus lines near bayou to have a good view.

Traced back to 1940s, we can easily find out that the green fields were shrinking while industrial area were increasing. The green field ratio dropped from about 95% to 5% during the past 70 years. Industrial growing brings economic development which were very helpful in the past.

However, it also causes a lot of problems such as natural habitat loss, environmental pollution, bayou erosion, flooding issues and most importantly, people have no sense of identity to the Buffalo Bayou.

Since Buffalo Bayou were historically a precious natural resource, it is very necessary for us to help people get access to it and make it an attraction to visitors and wildlife again.

Latitude Access

LATITUDE ACCESS

It is access in north and south direction.

Now area along bayou are not enjoyed by the public because there are factories, warehouses and vacant land along bayou. Latitude Access aims to enhance connection from residential area (new developed mixed-use residential and traditional residential) to natural resources (Buffalo Bayou and wetland parks).

Longitude Access

LONGITUDE ACCESS

VERTICAL ACCESS

It is access in east and west direction.

Now connections between downtown Houston and the site are broken because of Interstate 69. Limited main road can directly reach downtown. Longitude Access aims to enhance connection from residential area in east part of downtown to the commercial center.

Vertical Access It is access beyond Buffalo Bayou. Now there are no access to Bayou so people cannot enjoy any activities along or on above bayou. Vertical Access aims to enhance connection of people and Bayou.

DESIGN STRATEGY

A GRADIENT DEVELOPMENT PLAN DIFFERENT LEVELS OF RESIDENTIAL, GREEN SPACE AND COMMERCIAL CONNECTION OF GREEN SPACE

CONNECTION OF COMMERCIAL

The green space will have three types: Green Space for Residential (Neighbor), Community (Ward) and Regional (City).

Each block should have its own green space. They are for neighbors to gather, have picnic or play with pets. Outside the blocks are green way with trees and bioswales based on the size of the streets. Green way provide safe access and enjoyable living condition to local residents. Between local low-density residential and new developed high-density residential are some community open space, for examples, parks and squares. The community open space serve a whole ward and act as a local destination for entertainment. Regional habitat along Buffalo Bayou create both habitat for wildlife and attraction for the whole region.

The commercial will also have three types: Local Commercial Street, Commercial Knots, Regional Commercial Center.

Local residents can get to farmers markets, grocery stores, coffee shops, restaurants etc. along local commercial street, which are easy and near to access within walk distance. Local Commercial Streets will connect to Commercial knots, which serves a larger area together with community open space and have more functions such as law office, convenience stores, shopping mall, gas station, restaurants etc. Commercial Center along Bayou serves for the region and act as an attractive destination with Bayou good view and various kind of entertainments.

DESIGN STRATEGY

A GRADIENT DEVELOPMENT PLAN DIFFERENT LEVELS OF RESIDENTIAL, GREEN SPACE AND COMMERCIAL RESIDENTIAL GREEN

Each block enjoys a private green space in the center, which is surrounded by neighbors. It can be used as a place for gathering, barbecue and playing with pets. It is the closest green area that residents can reach.

This plan will fit in both local residential and new development residential.

COMMUNITY GREEN The intersection of main roads are opportunities knots which will be popular if community green and local commercial center happen here.

Community green space can be a park or urban square which provide entertainment and relaxation for a community area or a ward.

REGIONAL GREEN Regional Green Space along Buffalo Bayou is the destination of green ways and green knots. It mainly provide wildlife habitat, postindustrial restoration and storm-water management.

Site Review

Old South Baton Rouge is a historical community with strong culture. It also enjoys a great location with LSU on the south side, downtown on the north side, Missisipi River on the west side and Interstate 10 on the west side. It could act as an important corridor that link the academic village to commercial center. However it is now abandoned with poor infrastructure and high crime rate.

History

Old South Baton Rouge Community was once vital and attractive before Interstate 10 was built. After construction of the Interstate 10, the community was broken and become noisier and less visited. People started to move away after the loss of commercial, open spaces, public service and integrated neighborhood pattern.

With the loss of people, crime rate grows faster and faster in this region. The locals are eager to get more attention and more opportunities.

Design Prompt

Our design focuses on three main points: Safety, Community and Commercial. We aim to attract people back to the community from different priority based on increasing opportunities.

Safety is the base of the community revitalization. The second step is related to community environment. Last phase of our development is public transportation.

With a gradient revitalization plan, the community will gain people’s trust first, get developer’s attention later and win more visitors and residents back.

Churches

Small churches--group people together

Commercial

Concentrated in downtown and the north gate of LSU.

Open Space

Not separated into community and not easy accessible.

EXISTING LAND-USE OPPORTUNITIES

Weakness

1, HIGH CRIME RATE Due to scattered urban pattern, there is no eyes watching the streets, which cause high crime rate in study area, threat local residents and students.

2, POPULATION LOSS People keeps moving out because of poor community condition and high crime rate.

3, POVERTY The average family income in study area has big gap by race. A lot of people live under financial burden.

4, LACK OF COMMERCIAL The region is known as food desert.

Residents need more convenient store.

Undeveloped Area

Can easy to reorganize for future development.

Vacant Houses

Shows the unpopularity of the community and residents keep moving out.

Unemployment rate can be used as a data base for infill house policy.

3, GREEN WAY Small scale community green space can be connected with green way system to create more entertainment area.

Threats

1, FUNDING Lack of funding makes plan only on the paper. NGOs can be considered to support streetscape and house renewal.

2, POTENTIAL GENTRIFICATION Quick development with too much investment can cause gentrification.

Slow-pace development with respect to local culture can be accepted and encouraged by local residents.

POLICY AND MASTER PLAN

POLICY FOR DIFFERENT PEOPLE, TOD DESIGN IMPROVING CONDITIONS, COMBATING SEGREGATION, PREVENTING DISPLACEMENT. Policy I:

FOR NEW COMER: MAKING HOUSES MORE AFFORDABLE BY SUBSIDES.

Land Subsidies (New Residents), Capital Subsidies (Loan), and Operating Subsidies(Commercial).

Policy II: FOR LONG-TIME RESIDENTS: REDUCE PROPERTY TAXES.

Long-time traditional local residents can have lower taxes after 5 years.

Policy III: FOR MIDDLE-INCOME: ENCOURAGE BUY-NEXTDOOR-LOTS.

More voucher when they decide to buy lots next-door. Those property including vacant, undeveloped and adjudicated. When dealing with the adjudicated houses in this case, the processing fee for title change should be waived.

River Road

Policy IV: FOR UNEMPLOYED RESIDENTS

Public facilities will educate local residents to have at lease one skill to find a job. Taxes can be reduced if they work for the community.

Policy V: FOR THE WHOLE COMMUNITY PROHIBIT LARGE-SCALE LUXURY DEVELOPMENT IN AT-RISK NEIGHBORHOODS.

Site Review

Our site is located along the west bank of University Lake. It ends north to Dalrymple Dr. west to Corporation Canal, south to S. Campus Dr. east to the Lake. Within our site, there are several student dorms along the Lake, University Recreational Complex, a K12 school and restaurants.

The site is a popular place for students and local residents. People come to the lake to enjoy the beautiful scenery. Jogging, running, biking, fishing and even boating are frequently seen here. The lake is also an ideal place for animals such as partridges and turtles.

UNIVERSITY LAKE RENAISSANCE Reforming the West Bank of the University Lake Category Landscape Architecture Group Work Role Site Analysis, Residence Interview, Diagram Design, Design Concept Visualizing, Section Elevation Rendering Location University Lake of LSU, Baton Rouge, USA Date Fall 2015 Instructor Wes Michaels

History

The University Lake in Baton Rouge is the biggest and most famous lake among the local lake system, including Campus Lake, College Lake, City Park Lake, Lake Crest and the University Lake. The site was originally a wooded swamp before 1930s, with hundreds and thousands of cypress living there. Then in 1933, four separate donors gave LSU the tupelo cypress swamp and had a stipulation: LSU need to turn the swamps into lakes and parks for public use, and keep them so forever. Then people dug University Lake in the mid-1930 and dredged it again in the early 1980s.

However the job was inadequate and the lakes are silting up again, with more serious problems such as erosion, eutrophication and direct pollution this time.

Design Prompt

What we do in our project is to solve these existing problems and try to avoid future problems such as unsafety of the surroundings and unintended pollutions from parking areas or private gardens. In our project all design methods are started from the “Three-layer Purification System�, which can effectively deal with polluted water in the very beginning of water issues.

Beyond the water management, we also deal with the circulation around University Lake in order to make the site a safe, enjoyable and easy to access scenery spot.

Circulation

In order to enlarge the distance between the Lake and vehicle roads, which contain a lot of pollutants, we decide to move the main vehicle road inside, between Student Recreational Complex and student dorms.

The original vehicle road is used as a multi-functional non-vehicle road.

Parking Lots

Now parking lots were hardened and not well managed which lead to inefficient land use and uncompleted water management. We integrated the scattered parking lots, canceled all vertical parking lots around roads to enhance the safety.

Also make them follow LID strategy and easy to use.

DESIGN STRATEGY

THREE LAYERS PURIFICATION SYSTEM CONCEPT PARKING LOTS, BIOSWALE ALONG ROAD, LANDFORMS ALONG LAKE

1st Layer - Permeable Parking Lots LID parking lots, which contain several bio swales. The bio swales are placed parallel to contour lines(vertical to flow direction), which can catch most runoff when they flow through.

2nd Layer - Bio-swales, Rain garden A bunch of rain gardens, bio-swales along residential areas and canal bank with riparian buffer. Runoff that cannot be purified in the first layer can be managed again in this layer.

3rd Layer - Designed Landforms Firstly, by digging out the dirt from the center of the Lake bottom, we enlarge the bank of the lake. This will help to make the lake deeper and prevent algae from growing.

Secondly, we lead the runoff flow in a “Z� shape rather than directly flow into the lake. By doing this, all runoff can have more chance to be infiltrated and purified by surface meadow and retention ponds.

Thirdly, landforms hills create three types of open space to meet different needs. Lake will become more accessible.

38

1st Layer The bio swales will purify most water from the parking lots. Those pollutant that cannot be handled in the first layer will flow to the second layer.

Site Review

The site is an Arboretum located in southeast Baton Rouge. It is a local recreation place for residents. Hundreds of plants can be viewed and learned throughout the site.

However, the area in front of Conference Room seemed to be barren and abandoned.

Also it suffered from stormwater problem a lot. Many plants have died because of poor planting research, selection and runoff management. The view for visitors sitting inside the Conference Room is boring and plain. There are a lot of opportunities for designers to make a little beautiful garden with good view from Conference Room both for relaxing, entertaining and education.

HILLTOP ARBORETUM CONFERENCE ROOM CHEER UP Redesigning the View from Conference Room Category Planting Design Individual Work Role Site Analysis, Site Inventory, Diagram Design, Design Concept Visualizing, Seasonal Color Study, Form and Texture Study, Planting Selection Location Hilltop Arboretum, Baton Rouge, USA Date Spring 2016 Instructor Kathleen Bogaski

History

The Hilltop Arboretum at Louisiana State University (14 acres) is an arboretum owned by the Louisiana State University. It is open to the public free of charge. The arboretum was developed by Mr. and Mrs. Emory Smith, starting in 1929, and donated to the university in 1981. The Smiths planned the garden to follow the form of a cathedral: “It had a central great hall or nave, and from that - in every direction - ran hallways leading to other rooms and on to others, with niches and passageways of every description. The nave and other rooms were the grassy plots; the walls were trees, shrubs, and bamboo; the pillars were old tree trunks.�

Design Prompt

In this design, I plan to regrade the site to collect and reuse rainwater and protect plants from being over-saturated. Also by studying the view points and planting material, I will create a good view from both Conference Room and sidewalk, encouraging visitors to enjoy a little garden.

By doing a seasonal color study, the final design will provide various theme change in different seasons. The focal point will change based on the leading core color in garden. I insist using local plants as much as possible to control the budget and reduce frequent harvest work.

HILLTOP STORMWATER DRAINAGE ISSUE MANAGEMENT Redesigning for the whole site with LIDA system Category Green Infrastructure Individual Work Role Site Analysis, Site Inventory, Diagram Design, Design Concept Visualizing, LIDA system Calculation Location Hilltop Arboretum, Baton Rouge, USA Date Spring 2016 Instructor Kathleen Bogaski

History

The Hilltop Arboretum at Louisiana State University (14 acres) is an arboretum owned by the Louisiana State University.

It is open to the public free of charge. The arboretum was developed by Mr. and Mrs. Emory Smith, starting in 1929, and donated to the university in 1981. There is a lake in the center of the Arboretum which handles most of the runoff during heavy rain events , which not only cause back flow problems along the shore area, but also cause danger for visitors. Also due to drainage problem, there are a bunch of trees suffer from flooding and near to die.

Design Prompt

In this design, I use different size and types of green infrastructure to release the stormwater issue burden on site. Instead of piping all runoff to the lake, I designed LIDA system to filtrate and infiltrate water in where the runoff happens. By doing this way, the runoff can be hold and reused instead of causing problems. Also it is a good opportunity to educate visitors about green infrastructure, which they can see above ground. By dealing with flood on site, trees can be protected from water logging.
