01 A FROZEN MOMENT OF TANG
COEXISTING WITH WORLD CULTURAL HERITAGE Urban Design Studio, Spring 2016 Site: Xi'an, CN Instructor: Haiqing Chang, Baoju Shen, Yani Fan Collaborator: Jingyi Wang, Lichen Wang, Xinran Li, Lan Yang, Yizhen Wang
This project aims at addressing the issue of ever-increasingly drastic conflicts and incompatibility between the rapidly developing modern city and a world cultural heritage within it. The Small Wild Goose Pagoda, a world cultural heritage is the core in this project. Right now, it is confronted with great threats and challenges in today's urban development. It does not received enough attention as it deserves. In order to emphasize Tang's culture, improve the environment and enhance the connection within heritage garden and its surrounding areas, the new design introduces new circulation to strengthen cultural axis, various spatial form to reinterpret Tang's city mode, and new functions to activate the area. Hopefully, all the people could celebrate old Tang's culture in this city.

INDIVIDUAL DESIGN
COURTYARD FORM
The huge scale of the 8th Street is quite incompatible with today's urban city. Based on the previous research about people's need and infrastructure about the area, I decide to redefine this circulation by adding a shopping mall and several public plaza, which would vitalize this circulation. Since current area has poor cultural service, the north area of my design are served as folk art studio, that aims at providing more cultural experience for tourists and local people.
To be consistent with the theme, exhibiting Tang's culture, I decide to use traditional courtyard to a c c e n t u a t e t h e Ta n g ' s atmosphere. These typical courtyards are originated f ro m Ta n g ' s t y p e a n d I revised some of them to satisfy special needs.

CIRCULATION DIAGRAM
SHOPPING MALL CONCEPT
The diagram shows the tight connection within the site and with its surrounding area. The new circulation is a fusion of Tang's culture and modern life. It not only addresses the problem of super scale by adding new function, but also provides the space with more vigor.
1. Splitting the 8th Street into several mass, using the mode 54m*54m as a unit.

02 APPLETOPIA
REVITALIZING HUDSON VALLEY'S APPLE INDUSTRY Urban Design Studio II, Fall 2018 Site: Ulster County, NY Instructor: Lee Altman, Wendy Adringa, Jerome Haferd, Justin Moore, Michael Murphy, Christopher Kroner, David Smiley Collaborator: Dian Yu, Shuyuan Li, Yingzhe Zhang Apples form one of the most iconic industries of the Hudson Valley. However, apple orchards have experienced a drastic decrease of 26% in the past 20 years due to increasingly unaffordable operating costs, labor shortage, a lack of facilities, waste disposal, etc. For the remaining orchards in the valley, two existing models promise economic sustainability: “pickyour-own” farms and hard cider tours. Based on these trends, we propose to build upon the apple industry’s more public aspects, taking advantage of existing infrastructures. Our proposal consists of (a) a series of multi-functional “hubs”, constructing for making apple processing and added value products and providing professional training; (b) an expanded hard cider company allowing the apple picking participates the public in the cider making process; (c) a trail system tying together these two components plus apple follies celebrating the apple culture. By adapting to contemporary models that combine agricultural production with experiential participation and recreation, the Hudson Valley’s iconic apple industry can reinvent itself as an economically viable, environmentally sustainable, and socially engaging, while remaining an integral part of the valley’s identity.

HUB
LEVEL 2 Visitor Center + Exhibition + Education Center
LEVEL 1 Factory
Hub is a shared facility for local farmers. Farmers could use equipment to make apple products such as juice, sauce and sell them to local cideries and retails. It is a multi-functional. The essential functions are storage, processing, packaging, and distribution. As the center of this core trail, we propose new functions. First, a waste disposal infrastructure, which expands the life circle of apple products, and makes the whole industry sustainable. Waste will be transformed to compost and then be delivered to a compost site which is also located at our trail. 25
Second, an education center to address the labor shortage issue. Education center provides professional training for labors. Some of them will work at farms, others may work at cideries or just in the hub. When farms and cideries need more workers in busy seasons, they could send a request to the hub. Third, recreational space includes a tour path, an exhibition, and a small retail shop to make this hub public-facing. After visitors finish their tour, they will walk through this glass box which directly connects to our trail.
HUB
Outside the hub is a transfer station, where visitors could choose different modes of transportation.They could walk, bike or take golf car.
CIDER RENOVATION
The renovation for cider company aims at making hard cider industry more public-facing by introducing a glass shed to seasonably expand its space and also adding functional grids in its room. Potential activities in cider company include cider tour, tap room, make-your-own cider, exhibition and entertainment show.

SCENARIOS ALONG THE TRAIL The trail is designed with the seasonal landscape that provides different views all year round. And tourists can experience different stages of apple product making process

03 WASTE TO SPACE
INTEGRATING WASTE SYSTEM AND PUBLIC SPACE Urban Design Studio, Summer 2018 Site: East Harlem, NYC Instructor: Kaja Kühl,Brian Baldor, Hayley Eber, Sagi Golan, Tricia Martin, Shachi Pandey, Austin Sakong Collaborator: Alexandra Burkhardt, Jinsook Lee
East Harlem generates over 10,000 tons of organic waste per year; however, as a borough, Manhattan does not offer curbside collection of organic waste. As a result, residents are limited to three drop-off sites for three hours a week to dispose of their organic waste. East Harlem has one of the highest concentrations of community gardens of any neighborhood in New York City. These gardens are a tremendous asset to the urban fabric of East Harlem; however, as they stand, many are fronted with chainlink fences and remain primarily inaccessible to the public. Our proposal is to utilize community gardens as a tool for organic waste collection in East Harlem. Each garden’s fence will be transformed into a 24/7 food scrap drop-off site through the use of “door.” However, because community gardens are only capable of composting 5% of East Harlem’s organic waste, the remaining 95% must be addressed at a community-scale. We propose to use the EL, one of East Harlem’s most unique, accessible and underutilized spaces, as the site for an integrated system that celebrates East Harlem’s identity by transforming it into an experimental, multi-programmatic space accessible to all residents of East Harlem. From 115th to 118th, the space under the El will be transformed into an experimental production line utilizing three blocks as a compost hub, urban gardening lab and community market with each block serving a particular role in the transformation of organic waste.

04 INTERRUPTED FLOW
FLOWS ACROSSING US-MEXICO BORDER
Urban Design Studio II, Fall 2018 Site: Coachella Valley, CA Instructor: Lee Altman, Wendy Adringa, Jerome Haferd, Justin Moore, Michael Murphy, Christopher Kroner, David Smiley Collaborator: Adi Laho, Bohong Zhang No matter what the physical barrier may be, scale or bounds, the polar shift in contrast is distinct in each of the communal sections of this Coachella – Mexicali region that we have defined and zoomed-in on. This definition helps to better understand this particular region of Southwestern United States in order to additionally understand the mechanism at large. We see the Salton Sea, California’s largest and ever-changing saline lake, and the ever thin politically charged border of United States and Mexico also as two physical features that are vastly different in nature; natural and man-made, flowing barriers that divide this site. We ask, if a thin border wall between nations and a dynamically shifting lake equally effect the barred off areas they touch adjacent to them, then is it possible that factors outside of these drastically different geographic features are strongly manipulating how this region and others like it are formed? In our research, a recurring theme we kept being routed back into was water. It is as abundantly clear in aerial views of the vast canal systems and lush agricultural fields as it drawing a section of the powerful Colorado River that so much of the region is dependent on as their prime resource. Infrastructure, production, partnerships or companies; they are all dependent on this element. Water is constantly flowing, as are many layers of systems in this region. These systems are all extremely connected with each other in very apparent ways and are super divisive resources that shape a community or help manifest disparity in another. Factors that indefinitely decide the health of a specific area and a plethora of other factors inside of that community. As much as this flow of resources strengthens a region, it also is a major factor in the inequality it creates through layers of unseen connection amid the directions a particular flow takes; who get what and how much…

Competition, Summer 2016 Site: Fujian, CN Individual Work
“Without the influence of Cubism and Abstract art, the architecture of the twenties would probably have been very different”. —William J. R . Curtis This work discusses how painting and architectural design influence each other and collectively create a new design. In this work, I draw a cubism painting to record and present my concept and ideas about the new space firstly. Then let this abstract painting to guide me further design spatial form, circulation, etc. I think a design is an interweaving of sense and sensibility. This work demonstrates this process explicitly. Hopefully, this work would bring new inspirations for the relation of painting and architectural design.

CULTURAL BACKGROUND Sense In China, every village has at least one temple. The temple is the main public space in the village where people hold big events and perform daily routine. The god in the temple is people’s emotional and spiritual sustenance. Villagers piously pray for good harvest and auspiciousness monthly.

CUBISM PAINTING AND TRANSLATION sensibility and sense Inspired by Robert Delaunay’ s series work of the Eiffel Tower and the concept of Spatial Transparency in art, I draw a cubism painting to record and present my concept. The painting is a set of my cognition of different space. When people "walking" in this drawing, the four important sacrificial scenes would appear continuously which would definitely provide people with a strong sacrificial atmosphere. 43
SCENE AND SPATIAL FORM sensibility and sense According to the painting, I reconsider the possible scenarios. Then, based on the new scenarios, I redesign the sacrificial spatial form. The new spatial form includes the basic spatial elements of sacrificial architecture and other new space which facilitates enriching spatial experience. 44

QINGXIN GARDEN
CLASSICAL CHINESE GARDEN Landscape Design Studio, Fall 2015 Site: Xi'an, CN Instructor: Yuan Lin Collaborator: Jingyi Wang
This project about designing a classical Chinese garden for a hypothetical user at a given site, the Master of Nets Garden. I designed a new garden for a female from Qing dynasty called Qingzi Lu and her family. Mrs. Lu was a great female in history but was treated miserably. The purpose of this design is to build a better living environment for Mrs. Lu and her family and commemorate the emergence of feminist consciousness. The designed garden is a fusion of artificial beauty and natural beauty. Ancient Chinese philosophy and aesthetics concept are extensively applied in this design and could be shown by its special layout, permeability of interior and exterior space, and basic elements of classical garden such as classical Chinese architecture, water, artificial hills, and plants.

WHAT IS YINER?
yǐn
WHY DESIGN FOR MRS LU?
yì
Yin is a kind of ancient Chinese culture which means politicians or intellectuals decided to stay out of politics because they were tired of the political conspiracy and corruption or they did not gained due respect by the emperor and other politicians as they had expected. Yi is word often accompanying Ying, which means cozy and comfort. Yiners usually led a cozy life in remote places or quiet places in town after giving up political power. They barely connected with the society and some of them only social with their closest friends. Yiners stayed most of their time at home, entertaining themselves by writing poem, playing the instrument, drinking, etc.
Mrs. Lu was a female representative of Yiner, which was very rare to see in Chinese history. She was a comparably well-educated female at that time. With an insightful and fearless mind, she encouraged her husband, who had an unsuccessful political career, to be a Yiner with her together. Mrs Lu and her husband led an impoverished life later on. Out of respect and sympathy for Mrs Lu, I decide to design a garden for Mrs Lu and her husband to help them better enjoy their life as Yiners. Moreover, there was another famous Yiner, poet Deqian Shen, living next to the site. Since Mrs. Lu and Mr. Shen both loved peom and had similar experience, they would become spiritual confidants and would not feel lonely.

PROTOTYPE RESEARCH In order to keep consistency between the new garden and existing gardens in suzhou in aspect of form and space, I choose five classical gardens which are located close to
N
Master of Nets Garden Area: 0.67 ha
the site and have similar area with the site to analyse the form of the typical elements in classical gardens, namely architecture, water, artificial hills and plants.
Ke Garden Area: 0.5 ha
Gentle Waves Pavilion Area: 1.08 ha
Yi Garden Area: 0.53 ha
Area: 0.15 ha Distribution: mainly north-west
Area: 0.4 ha Distribution: mainly south
Area: 0.18 ha Distribution: mainly east
Garden of Cultivation Area: 0.4 ha
Architecture
Area: 0.27 ha Distribution: mainly east
Area: 0.18 ha Distribution: mainly east
It is evident that the layout of architecture are mainly aggregated at one side, with landscape situated at the other side. The total area of architecture takes up approximately 1/2 of the whole garden.
Water
Area: 0.12 ha Distribution: center Form: regular+winding
Area: 0.12 ha Distribution: south-east Form: regular+winding
Area: 0.23 ha Distribution: north Form: winding
Area: 0.13 ha Distribution: center Form: winding
Area: 0.11 ha Distribution: center Form: regular+winding
In most classical Chinese gardens, water is located at the center of the garden, functioning as a major scenic spot. The area of water usually consists of 1/5~1/4 of the total area. Its form features delicated twists and turns, which is a simulation of natural form of water.
Artificial Hills
Area: 0.10 ha Distribution: scattering in whole garden, centered at south water side Form: irregular
Area: 0.12 ha Distribution: scattering in whole garden, centered at north side Form: irregular

Area: 0.18 ha Distribution: centered at north river side and south boundary Form: irregular
Area: 0.10 ha Distribution: scattering in whole garden, centered at south river side Form: irregular
The majority of artificial hills are located around water side. A small portion of artificial hills scatter at small courtyard.
Plants
Area: 0.09 ha Distribution: scattering in whole garden, centered at the boundary and water side Planting Form: single+group
Area: 0.12 ha Distribution: scattering in whole garden, centered at boundary and artificial hills Planting Form: single+group+row
Area: 0.15 ha Distribution: scattering in whole garden, centered at south river side and artificial hills Planting Form: single+group+row
Area: 0.10ha Distribution: scattering in whole garden, centered at artificial hills Form: single+group
Area: 0.10 ha Distribution: scattering in whole garden, centered at artificial hills Form: single+group
It is explict that plants are distributed irregularly and flexibly. Most of plants are planted as a group,with different sizes in it, making the group looks layered and contrastive. Some of plants are single planted so as to be a main scene.

ANCIENT CHINESE PHYLOSOPHY AND AESTHETICS Chinese philosophy believes that MAN and NATURE unites as ONE, which has exerted huge influence on classicial garden design. Even though PHYLOSOPHY the landscape in AND gardens are ANCIENT CHINESE AESTHETICS created by human, they should be look like it is nature itself. Chinese aesthetic thinks highly of implicity and elegance. The diagram below shows the influence of Chinese philosophy and aesthetic on classical garden.

Chinese gardens features its landscape diversity. The three section diagrams explictly illustrate the multiple layers of landscape, the density of landscape and architecture, and the permeability of landscape. When people wandering in this garden, the scenery they see keeps changing as every step they move on. The artificial hills not only function as landscape but also a "playground" for people to have fun. When people reach the top and look back, the scenic beauty of the whole garden will be a feast of eyes.
Corridor in classical Chinese gardens plays an important role especially in rainy and snowy days. It enables people to go outdoor conveniently. Plus, it also provides space for appreciating landscape from different angles as it twists a little bit and goes ups and downs.

ARCHEOLOGICAL SITE MUSEUM Architecture Design Studio, Spring 2017 Site: Xi'an, CN Instructor: Haiqing Chang Individual Work
This newly designed museum is for a historical site called Wei Bridge, an important node of the Silk Road in Han dynasty. The design aims at strengthening the existing cultural axis of Han dynasty and propogating Han’s culture and history. The museum features not only its exhibits but also its special architectural form. It is a combination of architectural space, bridge, and historical sites. Two paths are designed to help people understand the site. One is a new Wei Bridge, which provides people with a modern perspective to see the current condition of the historical site; the other one path is located right below the bridge deck, in the “water”, the exhibition of ancient bridge piles enables people to understand the relics from a historical perspective. If people want to know Chinese culture in Tang dynasty, then there are many places they can visit in Xi’an. However, if people want to know something about Han dynasty, especially Han’ Silk Road, unfortunately, there is nowhere to go. By designing such a special museum, I hope that it would provide a new perspective for the culture and history of Han’s Silk Road.

1. existing wooden piles
2. imaging the form of ancient Wei Bridge
Museum and bridge are apart. People only pay attention to a bridge when they are not on the bridge. However, when they are on the bridge, they tend to focus more on the scenary around the bridge.
3. creating underwater space
Introducing a New Form
4. simulating water erosion process From my perspective, when a museum and a bridge are jointed together, the new structure not merely provides people with a closer look to the relics, but offer them a space with more diversity and possibility. The former space taken up by the museum could be used for creating open space.
5. creating two axises

TURNING AN ABANDONED PARK INTO A TRULY URBAN PARK Landscape Design Studio, Fall 2015 Site: Shangluo, CN Instructor: Lei Chen, Yani Fan, Baoju Shen Collaborator: Xinran Li, Jingyi Wang, Lichen Wang, Lan Yang
This project is a large-scale open space design which seeks to tie the renovation seamless into the surrounding urban fabric and character. The site Lianhu Park is in poor conditions in terms of amenity, inner accessibility, waterfront landscape, etc. Over the years, several renovation projects have taken place here but none of them have improved the park into a better place but make it gradually loses its own identity. As a result, it has become an abandoned place in the city even though it is located in the city center. We see the existing lake and the special historical city wall within the park, and commercial and historical streets surrounding the park as key assets to develop this park. Our design is based on these assets and our study of people's behavior. The goal is to transform this park into a truly urban park that not only provides inviting open space and infrastructures to local people all year round but also works as an ecological and sustainable back garden of citizens.

ECOLOGICAL DESIGN Rainwater collection is designed in the park, and natural slopes are used in conjunction with the city walls around Lianhu Lake. Part of the water flow uses surface runoff and a part of it flows into the lower part of the soil. The surface runoff rainwater finally flows into the Lianhu Lake, and then through the infiltration and the aquifer flowing in the soil, eventually flowing into the Danjiang River.

The main entrance plaza is paved with permeable surface. The rainwater penetrates through the square masonry and is filtered through the three-layer gravel cushion. The filtered rainwater is recycled through the rainwater collection pipeline.
Rainwater flows into the flowerbed through natural landing and slope of road. Some rainwater is absorbed by the plant roots and then infiltrated into the bottom layer.
During the rainy season, rainwater is collected through the rainwater collection box on the shore, while keeping the water surface does not exceed the critical value.
Rainwater is absorbed by the shore hydrophytes through the gentle slope. As more rainwater gathering together, it provides a better growth space for the hydrophytes.
The parking lot plaza has a gentle slope and is paved with permeable pavement. Rainwater seeps through the permeable pavement, be filtered to the water-bearing cushion, and then penetrated into the bottom layer.
The rainwater at commercial entrance plaza flows to the outside through designed slope. The rainwater is absorbed into the bottom layer through the roots of the plant in the flower bed.
Rainwater slowly flows into the shore through the grass slope, and near the shore the terrain has a slower slope. Some of the rainwater is absorbed by the shore plants and filtered into the water.
The shore of the stream is a gentle slope, and the rainwater is absorbed and filtered by the shore plants and then be infiltrated into the bottom layer. 82

PRESERVATION AND DEVELOPMENT OF OLD TOWN Urban Design Practice, Summer 2015 Site: Zhangzhou, CN Organization: Architecture Design&Research Institution of Xiamen University Job: Design Assistant Individual Work: 3D modeling, Photoshop for perspective rendering, sketch, writing paper for presentation
This is an urban renewal project aiming at revitalizing historical town by preserving old spatial pattern, improving the quality of existing architecture and landscape and introducing new tourism industry. The existing conditions of the old town is quite messy: illegally constructed and extended buildings are everywhere; many paths are dead end; open space are small and occupied by motorbikes randomly, etc. The study investigates the well-preserved courtyard street pattern and focused on protecting these remains. On this basis, we redesign the road system to make it efficiently connecting the every site. The street facades are renovated based on the characteristics of Minnan architecture to attract commercial development. The public space is considered to be a spatial carrier for cultural heritage, which combines the locals' daily social needs and special cultural celebrations. The project has won China Living Environment Example Prize in 2017.

GIS Lab, Fall 2018 Site: NYC Instructor: Leah Meisterlin, Grga Basic Collaborator: Haoting Pang, Huang Qiu
LinkNYC kiosk is part of an international organization which is established to provide free wi-fi to everybody in New York City. It was first raised in 2014 by the office of New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio , then it developed gradually. Until now, the LinkNYC kiosk has multiple functions except for the free wi-fi. There are free phone call which is what payphone mainly provided, emergency button, community service, map information service and so on. The company is dedicated to developing new and potential functions of these kiosks. They claimed that it will be the fastest and most widely spreading system all over the world. However, the distribution of these kiosks does not make it work efficiently. Our work is to find out the conflicts of the functions and distributions, and then propose new functions and potential sites to add more kiosks as a way of implementation.

This diagram shows the flow of our analysis. We use four criteria (street crime points, free Wi-Fi coverage area, population density, density of people below the poverty line) to find out the potential places to add new kiosks. Apart from existing functions of LinkNYC kiosks, we also analyze service area of healthcare&hospital, bus shelter and tourism grants and propose LinkNYC 2.0 to new places.

a suddenly heart arrest happens. It can give the patients electrical shock to evoke the heart beating rhythm.
According to the American Red cross statistics, “ Sudden cardiac arrest is among the leading causes of death in the United States. In fact, more than 350,000 people will suffer a cardiac arrest this year. Currently, the only way to restore a regular heart rhythm during cardiac arrest is to use an AED.” Of course, we can call 911 for help. The ambulance need 4-12 minutes for arriving based on different distance. However, the first 4 minute is the golden time for life saving. So the best way to help people who has the arrest is to use this equipment immediately.

LINKNYC 2.0 -- DRINKING FOUNTAIN Drinking water fountain is a quite common public infrastructure in NYC. It’s designed to provide all people with clean water. What’s more, it can also shrink the waste bottle problem. However, the sanitarium of these fountains now become a serious issue. Without being cleaned in a specific sequence, there are lots of water incrustation and rust near the fountain mouth. These things do harm users’ health. The number of water fountains in NYC is numerable. Most of them scatter Priority Locations for LinkNYC with Drinking Fountain around the city which make the cleaning work even harder.
Legend
LinkNYC with Drinking Fountain So we want to set new water fountains attached to the kiosks. These new drinking LinkNYC
water fountains are not only easily found by the citizens and tourists , but also easily cleaned, which may repair this broken drinking water system in the future.

Priority Locations for LinkNYC with Benches Almost every bus stop shelter is built with a bench affording at least 3 people in NYC. However, some bus stops are quite popular, considering there always more than 7 people in the shelter at the same time, a 3-people-siting bench is not appropriate. After overlapping LinkNYC location points with bus stops shelter points in NYC, we found 2two facts. One is the distances between LinkNYC kiosks and bus stop shelters are quite interesting. Except for those are much far away or overlapped completely, most kiosks are actually in the walkable radius from at least one bus stop shelter. The other one is, some of these kiosks have enough public space.
