SELECTED WORKS
Consult the genius of the place in all; That tells the waters or to rise, or fall; Or helps th’ ambitious hill the heav’ns to scale, Or scoops in circling theatres the vale; Calls in the country, catches opening glades, Joins willing woods, and varies shades from shades, Now breaks, or now directs, th’ intending lines; Paints as you plant, and, as you work, designs. -Alexander Pope, Epistle IV, to Richard Boyle, Earl of Burlington JUNZHI YU (JASON) MLA at UMass Amherst Photo at Franz Josef Glacier.

Northgate is a northern part of the Metro Center of Springfield Massachusetts, bounded by: Highway I-90 and I-291, Railroad viaduct with Union Station, the Riverfront of the Connecticut River, and Franklin Street around the YMCA to the east. The area was once rich in industrial and transportation oriented activities in 1900s, followed by total removal of residential neighborhood and historic skin as the result of urban renewal movement in 1950s. Today the area has lost its identity known as a “no-man’s land”. Rehabilitation of Union Station and potential of reconstruct I-91 highway may provide some opportunities for this area to change. Our team took an approach to review history to inform the future, by look at historical programs that make the place alive once, and restore them through a 21st century design approach. Works presented here shares credits to Ericka Duym and Wenjie Liu as a part of studio teamwork.

PROJECT BRIEF As food production and consumption networks are well connected globally, nation like New Zealand is most depended on the overseas’ trade market for local food consumption, and heavily use petrol-cost transportations for food supply. Such situation leaves potential threat to the urban food network: as when fossil energy reserve is in depletion, cities’ food supplies are in danger. In preparing such incidents, urban agriculture has been recently reintroduced to local communities. As for this project, a proposal is made to establish a community garden for the Mt Victoria residential district in the heart of Wellington city. The design intents to establish an urban agricultural field to support partial of communities’ food consumption, and performs as a landscape infrastructure in connecting the local community activities (e.g. agriculture, education, recreation, trade) and trigger potential community interactions.

Just north next to the French Quarter of New Orleans’ downtown area, defined by Lafitte Avenue, Galvez Street, Canal Street and Claiborne Avenue, the community of Treme-Lafitte suffers lack of economic and social vibrancy in comparing with its changing neighborhood. As a part of ULI competition entry, our design of a Secondline Quarter, a concept that inspired from the New Orleans’ tradition with Jazz with a spirit of syncopation and improvisation, intents to bring new programs of art and music industry, medical associated entrepreneurial incubators, food market, community school and housing opportunities for this area to grow and adapt to these its adjacent developing changes. With a sustainable and intriguing urban planning and landscape design strategies, while taking an extra consensus to development equity, urban resiliency, history and culture roots of local land, this proposal is envisioning a hospitable, creative and resilience community.

Stormwater planters and swales respond to heavy rainfall in summer Green rooftops and solar collectors respond to climate change and propose new modes of living in a post-oil society. Mixed housing opportunities: market-rate rental/owner occupied units/small number of subsidized housing create a well-balanced and diverse neighborhood. Entrepreneurial start-up incubator space, places for food vendors and food trucks are complimentary to the big employers in the medical and hospitality sector. RESILIENCY

Tourism as the strongest economical driver in New Orleans calls for education and research in the culinary and hotel sector. The Hospitality and Culinary Arts School is a satellite campus of the University of New Orleans and partners with local vocational and professional schools to offer educational opportunities for disadvantaged communities nearby. The Creole Kitchen and Delicatessen Market is an attractor and destination for tourists. The Lafitte Restaurant and Food Supplies District on the I-10 ramps provides easy access and creates new jobs.

LA 597V Graduate Studio Final Project Time: 12/2014, 3 weeks Studio Instructor: Joseph S. R. Volpe, Elizabeth Thompson Located at central area of Pioneer Valley and a host of major five collages and universities, downtown Amherst is the thriving community centre for its walkable streets and active local social activities. At the heart of its Main Street, the historical Fire Station, built in 1934, now struggle to match the requirement by the modern fire services and rescue missions of local authorities. Amherst Fire Department is seeking to move out their operations and return the historical building to the commonwealth of Amherst. The Building will be used as either a retail spaces or a community social facility. In this case, the landscape surrounding the fire station, an average of 140’ length and 40’ width parking areas holds a promise to become a better public landscape. The studio is intent to turn this area into a pocket park for the visitors of the future fires station, a gateway link to the back of Town John’s Library and its memorial garden, together creating a mini greenway for Amherst residents and boarder communities.

CONCEPTUAL SKETCH
To bring people in and establish connections with historical elements of the surroundings require balance between movement and places for rest. Biomorphic form give more freedom and moderate sense of place, which makes walking and seating more comfortable. The key ramp accessible, orientate circulation, also set the sequence of different viewing perspectives to connection to the surroundings. Also a balance between soft and hard pavement, contours are carefully regraded to organize stormwater runoff and collect them at bioswales and raingardens.

GROWTH, PRESERVATION & LANDSCAPE HERITAGE NORTHFIELD, MA WETLAND PARK REHABILITATION DESIGN
LA 603 Graduate Studio Time: 10/2013 - 12/2013, 7 weeks Studio Instructor: Ethan Carr The Town of Northfield is in the process of developing a master plan as officials and residents anticipate several possible scenarios for how growth and change will occur in the town in coming decades. Much depends on the re-use of the Northfield school campus (a National Register District), which is vacant presently, but will become the site of new residences, a new educational institution, or some other new use or combination of uses. In almost any scenario, the number of people in Northfield will increase, bringing new levels of traffic, development pressure, and other changes to the town. Northfield has a rich heritage of historic, public landscapes, beginning with Main Street itself, which was first laid out in the 17th century as a linear common, similar to other contemporary commons in towns along the Connecticut River such as Wethersfield and Hadley. The studio first studied this landscape heritage, and then made proposals for the management, preservation, and interpretation of it. New connections between public areas, new town parks, guidelines for the management of Main Street, and new treatments for existing historic places were all envisioned. As a part of the studio work, my work is to produce the new town park at the adjacent wetland areas.

MOUNT HERMON SCHOOL SHELL BRIDGE NORTHFIELD HOTEL SITE
Next to the centre of Northfield’s Main street linear common, a vase of somewhat 37 acres of wetland was once an important part of Northfield history. The parcel once belongs to the famous New York Banker Francis R. Schell and it was a summer resort for the Schell family. During 19th century, Northfield was already a tourism destination for its historical New England town characters and American evangelist Dwight L. Moody’s frequent Christian conferences holding. Schell was a close friend of Moody and believed was also the investor of Northfield Hotel close the site. The land he owned once appears as clear open meadows with Mills River pass by to form a clean water feature, the house was built in French Château style sited at the hill top. Today this land became a natural wetland covered with invasive vegetations and robust local natural habitats.
