ONNIE,
ON-YI LIU
HELLO;) THIS IS ONNIE! I am a motivated and enthusiastic candidate from Hong Kong studying MA in Landscape Architecture in the UK and seeking to develop a career in the related field.
Focusing on sustainable and innovative landscape designs considering the elements of people, wildlife, building, planting and water to create harmonic atmosphere, I think it is just like painting beautiful pictures using different watercolour palettes. I
am also a hard-working and confident team player with good communication skills developed through the past job experience and education.

GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE STRATEGY
THE GREEN•LATTICE
Concept Sketches
COOLING DOWN THE BOILING SYDNEY,
IN
order to relieve the problem of urban heat island effect (UHI) in a developing city, the Greater Sydney, and the crisis caused, the concept of the “Green Lattice” is proposed. It is a 3D - Green Infrastructure (GI) network designated for cities with different elements of various sizes, shapes and heights crisis.
Individual GI elements, such as, urban open space, green
wall and rain garden etc, act as the nodes connected by strong linkages among people, wildlife and natural elements to form the “Green Lattice”. The formation of this network links the built and natural environments to re-provide the multiple ecosystem services originally provided by the nature – Re-naturing the cities and resilience enhancement of the cities against global climate changes.
A HIERARCHY of the “Green Lattice” with NODES and
LINKS is further developed for the design and planning of new or existing urban areas. And two major prototypes of the “Green Lattice” are summarised and explained as reference for new city planning or old district regeneration.

Prototype 1 Centralised Node A major node acts as the centre of or that of the smaller part of the a GI lattice. It connects with the other minor nodes to form the GI networks. The prototype would be suitable for the location with existing larger ecological habitat or open spaces as the identity of the area.

Prototype 2 Scattered Node Numbers of minor nodes would form the GI lattice in a more intensive way with the connection of different linkages. The prototype would be suitable for the location lacking land supply and having spatial constraint in planning large open space. Therefore, the connections among the various GI nodes become more significant to the function of the lattice.

GREEN LATTICE CHANGING WITH TIME The “Green Lattice” is proposed to be a DYNAMIC GI network of which the nodes and linkages would change time to time to attain an equilibrium state that would be resilient to global climate change and some extreme events.
Gre e
However, urban development should be planned in a holistic way and some of the aspects, such as political issues, might not be covered in this proposal. Nevertheless, it still provides an interactive thinking of the planning of GI system from the point of view of nature and local community needs.

DESIGN STRATEGIES Residential Density
FANLING Golf Course (FGC) is composed of 3 distinct
18-hole courses set within 172 ha of land. The Old, New and Eden Courses. The option proposes to convert the New Course and Eden Course for development purpose while keep the Old Course remained. Heritage and potential old and valuable trees are conserved in the proposed development.
RESILIENCE LIVEABILITY WALKABILITY
Residential developments of higher density are concentrated in the Northern part of the site closest to the Sheung Shui Town Centre which has better transportation network as well as existing government, institution or community (GIC) and commercial facilities. That of lower density are proposed in the Western portion of the site due to low-rise character of neighbouring uses. A conservative estimate of the flat production is 3,355 accommodating a population of about 13,420.

DISASTER RESTORATION
EMBRACE THE WATER
ASAKURA CITY, FUKUOKA,JAPAN
IN
2017, the vicinity of the now closed Masue elementary school in the Masue district of Asakura city was hit seriously by torrential rain disaster in the northern part of Kyushu. A great loss was resulted from the disastrous flood caused by the heavy rain. Assuming long term mitigation measures carried out, such as the reforestation of deep-rooted tree species at the source of river to prevent soil erosion and loss of trucks etc., An immediate reconstruction plan is also proposed.
“Embrace the Water“ not only shows the beauty and peace of water, but also re-connects the villagers with the river after the flood. By constructing a water retention pond, reforming the river edge and rebuilding the housing elements, on one hand, the project tries to solve the problem of flooding, re-link the local communities and attract more youngsters to Masue district for future development. On the other hand, the modification of existing buildings and open spaces acts as a memorial landmark for the past event. Existing healthy trees are retained while new plantings are introduced in the area in order to enhance the soil quality, wildlife habitat and human living environment.

SCHOOL & MEMORIAL PLAZA Different little lawn areas are designed in the memorial plaza in front of the school so that people could carry out various activities and interact with the others. The school is converted to apartments for villagers.
BEFORE
AFTER
WATER RETENTION POND Gabion wall is used to reinforce the riverside and wall of retention pond so that water-loving or aquatic plant species could grow on the wall. By planting deeprooted tree species along the river, soil erosion and fall of trees could be prevented effectively. Micro-habitat is also created for wildlife, such as butterflies and small animals etc. The little hill behind the School would be reserved for the fireflies in the area.
RIVERSIDE WOOD DECKING Reforming and widening of the river beyond the outlet of retention pond help to slow down the discharge speed. People can enjoy themselves, such as fishing and water play, in various level of wood decking during different seasons with changing water levels in the river.
MEMORIAL PERGOLA One wooden school building is turned into a memorial pergola to connect the school plaza and retention pond area. Different kinds of climber plants are cultivated and Japanese sand garden style is adopted for people to enjoy a clam and relax walk.

URBAN Valley, a green valley in the middle of the busy Tsim Sha Tsui District, is a urban greenery landscape project which creates a coherent, connected, high quality and vibrant network of underground space as well as improves the existing facilities to enhance the attractiveness and stronger sense of place in Kowloon Park. The design purposes: 1.) To enhance ground and underground pedestrian connectivity by the addition of an open cut corridor on existing landform and an underground layer; 2.) To create an attractive public realm for people to walk, gather and play both on ground and underground; 3.) To create space to optimize the land use by proposing different types of public uses in the underground space

The existing Kowloon Park Sport Centre integrates to a multi-recreational facility to support community demand. An infinity pool located on rooftop not only solves the privacy issue, but also provides a fantastic view of Kowloon Park. Middle Level Middle level of Kowloon Park includes the existing park area and facilities. Kowloon Park provides urban greening and multi-functional uses to the community. Designs including linkage staircases and slope facilitate user to their destinations. Additionally, all old and valuable trees are kept for the ecological, aesthetic and social value of the community.

AVIARY The facilities and size of the existing aviary are improved. A smaller aviary is added on top hill to provide more space to the existing birds living inside the aviary. A small scale wetland is also constructed there following by a naturalistic stream downhill to the middle corridor forming a little waterfall feature.
BIRD LAKE Provision of more bird attracting trees and water ponds with various depths creates better habitat for the local and migratory bird communities. The existing Chinese Garden is transformed into a naturalistic lake and ecological environment for the betterment of wildlife. The existing birds living in the pond would be moved into the lake.

COMMUNITY INSTALLATION
GAP SPACE INSTALLATION – TWISTING GAPS CHAI WAN,HK
"GAP" is a simple element in anywhere of our world and seems to be insignificant in our daily life. Road Crossing at Wing Tai Road, Chai Wan is one of them. People always pass through the road crossing without realizing the interesting horizontal space. Although it is missing from our sight, by adding an art piece made by yellow twisting fibres, that gap space is redefined.
The design of the art piece is inspired by the people’s road crossing dynamics. The twisting fibres symbolise the various routes of crossing by different people and even create more gap spaces in the area which people can see through. The height of the fibres also reminds people of the space under the overhead road. Yellow colour is chosen because of its contrast to the shade under the road.

COMMUNITY INSTALLATION
DUCKLINGS’DUCKLING DUCKLING HILL,HK
DUCKLING Hill is a little hill located next to Hang Hau and Po Lam area in Tseung Kwan O. Its lovely name came from its shape on the map but the head and neck parts are now gone because of the new town development in 1980s. It
seems to be an urban fringe; nevertheless, it is a community hub for the local people especially the elderly with a strong feeling of home and identity. People made their own facilities, such as rain shelters, staircases, floor paving, planters and benches etc., for all visitors to use.
In
2006, these “unauthorized building works” were demolished by the government due to safety issues. People “battled” with the government and finally got responses from their suggestions. Although there are compensatory facilities for users, they are not friendlydesigned and “cold”. Therefore, people pick up their tools and make what they want again.
Now I go back there and still can find some of the old things and more the new as well as feel so “warm” when using them. I really appreciate the effort of the community that I can still be one of the “ducklings” and enjoy the facilities. The art piece not just attracts people’s attention but also make them aware of the atmosphere as well as the special sense of the place here.
