SURFACE + EDGE: INDETERMINACY, Boston’s Seaport Design Oct. 2015 - Dec. 2015 Location: Boston Seaport, MA, United States Individual Project Tutor: Luis Callejas, GSD Project Narrative The project is sited in Boston’s Seaport, a neighbourhood undergoing large-scale transformation that has been in the works for the past several decades. The site is a 100 m x 90 m plot of land that includes an existing park connecting Northern Avenue and the waterfront as well as a fragment of the existing parking lot behind the Institute of Contemporary Art. In the urbanized world, the edge of land must be seen as a fluctuating, dynamic condition. Our task is to conceptualize a new urban square on this site that exploits the indefinite, moving edge between land and water. We can describe the ecology of the coastal edge as indefinite: diurnal tides keep it constantly moving, and adaptations of physiography and habitat occur. Finally, we know that increasing turbulence in climatic conditions and the predicted rise in sea level and increased storm surge impacts will continue to alter the edge—and how we think about re-making it. Indeterminacy does not excuse inaction or suffocate design intention; it is a condition we embrace. This project aims at creating a dynamic interaction of water and land, also provide people with scientific phenomenon based on the weather of Boston Seaport area. Also this design wants to provide people with different experience of interacting with different water levels.

BIO-RETURN: Nansha River Wetland Restoration and Agriculture Reconstruction Mar. 2014 - July. 2014 Location: Nan Sha River, Beijing, China; Area: 2 ha Collaborators: Mu Zhang, Luyun Zhao, Tingting Feng, Xiaodan Li Tutor: Prof. Kongjian Yu Responsibility: As the team leader, I was in charge of the whole schematic design and work distribution. I put forward the theme of Bio-return, developed the wetland area and the plant succession. Project Narrative The site is located in Beijing, besides the green heart of Haidian District, and in the southern Shahe ecological landscape corridor. However, it has suffered from heavy pollution in a long time, and with the decline of agriculture, most residents gradually move away, leaving those with low income still in poor living condition. Scarce public facility and green area, as well as water pollution caused by uncontrolled sewage disposal make this area even more unsuitable for living. How to repair the site by solving a series of problems, and to create a desirable living environment for local residents become first concern of our team. Based on study on hydrological pattern and plant species distribution, the strategy of pond reconstruction and reforestation along the river are applied to achieve wetland restoration. Meanwhile, considering the local residents' needs, the agricultural reconstruction will also bring people back to the land and beloved occupation, financially supporting their life while developing harmoniously with the nature.

INHERIT AND INNOVATE: Modern Office Space Design According to Chinese Courtyard Residence Sept. 2013 - Dec. 2014 Location: Da Lian Bay, Liao Ning, China; Area: 4 ha Independent Project Tutor: Prof. Fang Wang Project Narrative Liao Ning Province belongs to the old industrial base in Northeast China, and used to attract many investments. However, its redevelopment in recent years remains a pressing issue. On the basis of research on different scales, I seek to formulate a series of strategies reasonably to solve various problem in site and adapt it for vitalizing industries. I was inspired by the spatiality of Chinese traditional residence, for the contrast between massive building blocks and openness of the central public space would be attractive for people, while mediate the negative impact from the surrounding. Thus, an building complex with the similar spatiality is designed. Its multi-programs such as office, conference, accommodation and dining, as well as the unique spatial organization would exert positive social and economic effects.

DESIGN PRINCIPLES IN CHINESE TRADITIONAL COURTYARD
SITE ANALYSIS
The enclosed space Since the poor condition of the surrounding environment, introverted courtyard can provide better feeling of space. The typical introverted space is traditional Chinese courtyard form.

AGGREGATION and INDIVIDUAL: Natural Museum Design of Inner Mongolia Mar. 2013 - May. 2014 Location: Er dos, Inner Mongolia, China; Area:2 ha Collaborators: Zhe Zhao Tutor: Wang Fang Project Narrative Inner Mongolia is the northernmost province of China, with large pieces of wilderness and harsh weather. The site has direct light and strong northwest wind in spring and autumn. Also a man-made pond is located in the middle with little branches downward the bottom of the site. With no specific function requirement, we decided to illustrate the nature to the visitors. The pure and original nature includes sunshine, water, and wind, which are typical elements. Thus, we designed a central aggregation box to illustrate the pure nature elements without polishing, and three individual boxes to illustrate the characteristics of wind, water and the sunlight through different methods and structures.

Winds are commonly classified by their spatial scale, their speed, the types of forces that cause them, the regions in which they occur, and their effect. Winds have various aspects, an important one being its velocity; another the density of the gas involved; another is the energy content or wind energy of a wind. People could feel the different aspects of wind in this box.

INTEGRATION: Commercial Complex and Landscape Design August. 2013 - October. 2013 Location: Xi Feng Rd., Xi An, China; Area: 1.5 ha Collaborators: Jingjing Wang, Yao Xu, Wei Zhao, Chi Zhou Tutor: Tianyi Yang Responsibility: Intern in Mochen Architects & Design, in charge of the site and requirements analysis, the structure building, including the diagram and the perspective expression. Project Narrative: Located in Xi Feng Rd., Xi An, China, the commercial complex need to cover the multi-function and different groups of people in this area. The surrounding space includes the schools, residential space, and other business. However, there is little space for landscape, thus the complex needs to solve this problem and integrate the functions in a vertical way. The commercial place always integrate different businesses well, however this site integrate the community space and public activity space while maintain a intact shopping and working environment.

SECLUSION and CONNECTION: Summer Retreat in the Mountains, Designed for My Family Jan. 2012 - Jul. 2012 Location: Ping Gu District, Beijing, China; Area: 20ha Independent project Tutor: Jingsheng Wang
Project Narrative Born in Beijing, our life is always filled with steady stream of vehicles and high modern buildings. Once a valuable experience give us an opportunity away from the hustle and bustle of the big city. When I was twelve, my father rent a small mountainous area in the countryside, and built a series serious of houses, which support my grandfather in his old age with a natural and beautiful environment. We try to form a seclusion spirit and a thorough connection of the landscape and architectures. And hide the private residence behind screens of landscape and buildings. This site locates in the north of Beijing, and have various terrains. With the information and statistics of the climate and surroundings, I make the master plan and design. This project started to be constructed in 2009, and ever since then, it experienced several versions improvements. Thus I decide to illustrate this project through design drawings with photos of the construction site and as-built photos.ďżźďżź

TERRAIN AND BUILDINGS According a the terrain and the environment, we try to hide the private residence deep into the mountain. This part of buildings act as the first screen to form the privacy and let people visiting us have the place to rest and have parties. Three main buildings and the courtyard of this reception and conference center has the downward slope from north to south. And we have a perfect natural view of the mountains between the buildings.

OTHER WORK Sept. 2010 - Jan. 2016 Independent project
Project Narrative Other than the design projects, there are some design representation projects and some model making works. All those form are based on a landscape representation for site analysis or a structure study and design. The first six works are from the first semester of master in landscape architecture, while the others are structure study, ArcGIS study and sketches.
LANDFORM + VIEW Individual project Tutor: Zaneta Hong (GSD, Harvard) Sept. 2015 This project focuses on the relationship between landform and view. This involves transforming a flat surface from Schouwbergplein Plaza into a complex, three-dimensional landform through the cutting and filling of land from the existing plaza. Generate landform through manipulating the plaza surface, using the lines of its original patterning as areas to transform. The area are transformed according to extruded and sunken plane to create the form of obscure across the plaza. With scale of human, we create the wall and the steps as a gradually obscuring structure. And with the extreme narrow sunken area, it enlarge the obscure experience on the plaza.

Scale 1:200
FIELD + PERMEABILITY Acrylic Model Scale 1:100 Individual project Tutor: Zaneta Hong (GSD, Harvard) Oct. 2015 This project focuses on the use of ground pattern, surface materials, and volumes of sub-canopy vegetation to study the concepts of field and permeability. This involves establishing a ground pattern derived from a precedent project, and then using the pattern to inform the assembly of ground materials and under-story vegetation to make a small, siteless public garden. The ground pattern, surface materials, and vegetation are composed to form a enclosed space with multiple enclosures. Also it contains the planting strategy of the garden by selecting plants.

MATERIALS + CONSTRUCTION: DETAIL MODEL Individual project Tutor: Zaneta Hong (GSD, Harvard) Oct. 2015 Instead of arriving at detail proposals at the end of a design process as the culmination of aesthetic, material, and construction issues, this exercise asks us to begin by resolving the detail as a prototypical element from which a designed whole can be generated. Building from the last studio exercise, I constructed a detail model built with only required materials. This model is a detail model for the last permeability model, and trying to use the basswood to illustrate the different scales of groundcover and shrub.

OTHER WORK: STRUCTURE Individual project Tutor: Zaneta Hong (GSD, Harvard) Dec. 2015 This is a two part project. Firstly, we design the scaled land form in paper model, and using the cutting and subtracting. Then we develop a second iteration. The second iteration was built with only the modelmaking materials listed from each respective category. And I chose the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Triangulatedâ&#x20AC;? by using the string to form the basic landform. The red string emphasizes the subtract area.

MAPPING: COLLAGE + MONTAGE
STONE
Individual project Tutor: Zaneta Hong (GSD, Harvard) Nov. 2015 Mapping is an act of interpretation and visualization crucial to the design process. It requires an act of site reading, visualizing, and valuing information in the pursuit of creating a comprehensive assessment of a complex and layered landscape. Based on the analysis of the Sunken Garden by Isamu Noguchi, the collage and montage represent the serial sections of the bottom topography and the texture of the bricks.
