PERSONAL STATEMENT Design is supposed to be human-centered, serve people, and satisfy their demand. In terms of Landscape Architecture Design, it aims at addressing problems in daily life through a landscape architecture way to enhance people’s life quality. While dealing with problems, landscape architecture would bring in some artistic elements with better looking. Starting from 2014, I have been studying in Tianjin University of Finance and Economics with the major of Landscape Architecture Design. The professional study enables me to have a more explicit scope on Landscape Architecture Design. Hence, I am eager to pursue a Master’s degree to further polish my professional skills, as well as obtaining more cuttingedge concepts in this domain by studying in University College London.

Sandy Hook Permanent Memorial Park Design A memorial which brings warm and calm
The project is based on the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting incident in Newtown, Fairfield County, Connecticut, USA on December 14, 2012. A total of twenty-six victims were claimed in the shooting, including twenty children aged five to ten. It is the second most deadly school shooting incident in American history. The local committee decided to lay off a place to construct a permanent monument to commemorate the children and educators who died in the shooting. It has been five years since the shooting, and many families have walked out of the shadows of losing their loved ones. Therefore, the original intention of this design is to construct a warm monument, consoling people and pacifying them as they enter this space. After research, I extracted the concept of "concentricity." The monument is presented in the form of two concentric circles combined with topography, and embodies the concept of “concentricity� in small design nodes. I designed a series of spatial sequences to make visitors feel they are approaching the center, and retained the two ponds on the site to generate serenity and introspection. I hope that this design can give people warmth, and at the same time let the dead be remembered and the living reflect on themselves forever.
Mass Shooting Incident in the United States
An infographic on the worst mass shootings in the US and their corresponding death tolls. There have been 74 mass shootings since 1982. A total of 639 people have been killed and 596 others injured.In particular, Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting is the second most deadly school shooting in American history with twenty-six victims.
Mass Shooting Deaths by Year in the U.S. from 1994 to 2017
It can be seen from the table that there has been a clear upward trend in the number of victims killed in shooting incidents in the United States from 1994 to 2017. Shooting incidents have become a growing social problem in the United States.

Analysis of the Site
The Meaning of ' 同心 '(Concentrcity)
" 同心 " (Concentricity) was chosen as the most important concept in my design. People in the community should unite as one when they face this tragedy, encouraging each other and giving each other warmth. The word "concentricity" can reflect this concept well. Semantic
Form

Space Hierachy
Due to the particularity of the site as a memorial site, it is necessary to bring different experiences and feelings to the visitors and convey the concept of “concentricity” which is the core design concept. Therefore, different space hierarchies were included in the design to express the central concept and convey different spatial feelings.

Plan The main body of the design consists of two concentric circles. The two concentric circles create topographic relief, thus forming different spatial nodes. The entrance to the site is a sunken space with retaining walls as barriers on both sides. As visitors move forward, the path begins to widen, and the broken wall on the right side symbolizes the trauma caused by the shooting incident. After that, they will go through a raised terrain and come to the viewing platform.Walking down, they will pass through the pond and the viewing platform on the lake which brings them calmness and introspection. In the end, people will go to the memorial site in the center. The big tree in the center symbolizes people who died in the shooting incident. When visitors come here, they will realize the design concept of “concentricity� surrounded by warm feelings.

Bee Protection Plan in the US Raise the awareness of bee protection.
U.S. Honey Bees Colony Loss Total annual loss by stateloss survey 2013-1014 Total annual loss by state-loss survey 2013-1014 shows that the loss of bees in the North of America is greater.
Bees are inconspicuous but significant insects in our daily life, because they are the most important pollinator for fruits and vegetables. However, since 2006, a large number of bees have died or disappeared in some parts of the world, resulting in an ecological collapse of bees, which was named colony collapse disorder (CCD). In America, more than one third of the crops depend on bee pollination to bear fruits. If bees keep disappearing, the agricultural production in the United States is likely to be seriously affected. Although the exact cause of the disappearance of bees remains unclear, it is certainly related to neonicotinoid insecticides. In view of that, the way to protect American bees from the perspective is to reducing the pesticide use. An effective way to reduce pesticide use and protect bees is to reduce pests through biological control. First of all, the common pests of different crops in the United States and their natural enemies were investigated, and then, created a suitable environment for the survival of beneficial insects and bees. At the later phase of the design work, the Mark Gilberts Apiaries in the US has been tooken as an example to carry out honeybee protection. This project will make people to understand the importance of bees and increasing the awareness of bee protection
What is Colony Collapse Disorder(CCD)?
Total annual loss by stateloss survey 2014-2015 Total annual loss by state-loss survey 2014-2015 shows that the greatest loss of bees concentrates in the states in the North, and there is a great loss in the South.
Since 2006, beekeepers have reported higher-than-normal colony losses, which are called Colony Collapse Disorder(CCD). Bee colonies affected by CCD can appear healthy, but then the adult bees disappear from the colonies.
Total annual loss by stateloss survey 2015-2016
CCD is a Worldwide Problem
What Causes CCD?
Ten years ago, beekeepers in the United States raised the alarm that thousands of their hives were mysteriously empty. What followed was global concern over a new phenomenon: Colony Collapse Disorder.
The cause of CCD has not been determined, and every realistic cause remains a possibility. The followings are possible causes of CCD.
Total annual loss by state-loss survey 2014-2015 shows that all states have different degrees of loss.
The states in the US with the greatest loss of bees The left table shows that bee reduction is concentrated in the north of America, especially in North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania. The decreasing number in North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota and Wisconsin accounts 50% of total decreasing number across the country. The states with the largest amount of bees in the US The states in the US with significant reduction of bees from 2012 to 2016

Pesticide Use in the U.S.
Relationship Between Pesticide Use and the Loss of Bees
Neonicotinoids is a class of insecticides that affects the central nervous system of insects, causing paralysis and death. The table shows that the increasing pesticide use causes an increasing loss of bees.
According to pesticide use and bee distribution in the United States shown in the left table, it can be seen that there are fewer bees distributed in areas where pesticides is used more, which indicating that pesticide influences the number of bees.

Forest Distribution in the U.S.
In the forest distribution table, the dark areas represent dense forests and the light-colored areas sparse forests. This table also shows the increasing area of forests in the United States in recent years. Forest area in the US(% of land area)
Relationship Among Agricultural Land, Forest, and the Number of Bees According to the table of forest distribution, agricultural land distribution, and distribution of wild bees, the number of bees is the smallest in agricultural land areas and relatively small in large forests. Moreover, the function of forest and agricultural land is rather monotonous, so the distribution of bees is related to the monotony of land function.

Harms of Neonicotinoid Insecticides on Bees
Common Corn Pests and Natural Enemies
Neonicotinoid insecticides are the most harmful to bees. Bees are affected in many ways including ingestion, direct contact, and inhalation. I listed several ways how bees get access to these insecticides as follows.
The following table lists the common corn pests (black segments) and their natural enemies (orange segments) in the North of America. Effective biological control will be carried out by different natural enemies at different growth stages. The gray parts indicate the most effective pest control period, from which we can see that it is most effective to control pests in July, June, and September.
Common Pests and Natural Enemies of Alfalfa
Common Pests and Natural Enemies of Soybean
The following table lists the common alfalfa pests (black segments) and their natural enemies (orange segments) in the North of America. Effective biological control will be carried out by different natural enemies at different growth stages.
The following table lists the common soybean pests (black segments) and their natural enemies (orange segments) in the North of America. Effective biological control will be carried out by different natural enemies at different growth stages, from which we can see that it is most effective to control pests in mid-to-late July and mid-to-late June.

Living Environment of Domestic Bees and Wild Bees
Domestic bees can only pollinate for monotonous kinds of plants, which may lead to malnutrition or other problems.
The habitats of wild bees are diverse, so they can choose suitable habitats for nesting, such as on the branches of trees or in the soil. They can also pollinate for a variety of plants.
When wild bees coexist with domestic bees, their living environment is diverse, and both may pollinate for different kinds of plants.

Beekeeper in Wisconsin
Plan of Mark Gilberts Apiaries, WI, U.S Taking the Mark Gilberts Apiaries as the test site, I applied my protection methods for bees. Corn, soybeans, and alfalfa are planted around the apiary, which are the most common crops in the North of America. However, there are few flowering plants, water sources, and forests needed for the survival of bees and beneficial insects, so I added water sources, flower beds, and trees around the apiary. In addition, I designed a bee education center for people to learn about bees and the importance of bees.

Historical Districts Design
Geographic Location Analysis of Japanese Concession in Tianjin
Reconstruction of Japanese Concession in Tianjin
Tianjin, as a famous historical and cultural city in China, plays an important role in the country’s modern history. The Japanese concession in Tianjin is close to many historical and cultural blocks in Tianjin. It is also one of the important historical blocks which witnessed the historical changes in modern China.
This project is carried out in the original Japanese concession in Tianjin. Covering an area of 2,150 mu (approximately 1,433,333.33 m2), the Japanese concession is an important commercial and entertainment area in old Tianjin, bearing the historical changes of modern China. The original Japanese concession is different from others in its narrow and ordered block, compact layout, and serene environment. With the rapid development of urbanization, this area was left behind and became a village inside the city. There are some problems in this area like cramped streets, illegal buildings, lack of green space, and disorderly parking. With the combination of its compact layout, this area will be renovated into a pedestrian street and reduce car flow by landscape design. The streets will be broaden through removing illegal buildings, as well as increase green area and regulate surface runoff by building grassed swales. The establishment of square is to break the narrow and crowded atmosphere. Through the block reconstruction, it may inject vitality into the block and improve people's living quality. Moreover, I hope more young people will come to learn and think about the history here based on the unique historical significance and cultural connotation.
Historical Changes in Japanese Concession in Tianjin
Before 1898 The Japanese concession in Tianjin was originally a wetland in Southeastern Tianjin with crisscrossed rivers.
In 1898 Based on the Sino-Japanese Treaty of Commerce and Shipping. It demarcated the Japanese concession. However, the area remained undeveloped.
In 1903 The Japanese concession was established and a huge construction project was carried out.
In 1943 Japan handed over the co n c e s s i o n to Wa n g Jingwei regime, but it was still run in the original system.
In 1945 After World War II, The government of the Republic of China formally took over the Japanese Concession in Tianjin.
Since 1945 The Chinese government have removed some old buildings, rebuilt new residential buildings, and protected some historical and cultural relics.

Analysis of Current Situation
Change of Block Form
The original Japanese concession is different from other concessions in its narrow and ordered block, compact layout, and serene environment. With the rapid development of urbanization, however, this area was left behind and became a village inside the city. There are some problems in this area like cramped streets, illegal buildings, lack of green space, and disorderly parking. The illegal buildings are constructed around the historical and cultural relics, affecting the appearance and outlook of the city.
This area was originally a wetland with crisscrossed rivers and few resident before 1898.
It is a historical and cultural relics built in around 1925, but there are some problems around it like disorderly parking, nonstandard shops, and unreasonable placement of garbage cans.
The Former Residence of Duan Qirui, built in 1920, is under renovation and preserved well.
Zhang Yuan Garden, built in 1915, was originally the old residence of Zhang Biao, Sun Yat-sen, and Puyi. Now it has been renovated and preserved well.
It is a historical and cultural relics built in around 1920, and currently used as residence and shops with some problems like disorderly parking.
It is a historical and cultural relics built in around 1930, and currently used as residence and small shops. There are some problems like illegal buildings, disorderly parking, and exposed power lines and pines, affecting the appearance and outlook of the city.

In 1930, the structure of Japanese concession was basically established and some rivers were kept. More roads were built and vehicles like the tram were put in use. Thus, it became the most prosperous commercial and entertainment center.
The regional form of this area has been established since 1949. There is a dense road network, a growing number of buildings, and no watercourses.
Jing Yuan Garden, built in 1921, was originally a Japanese residence. Later, it became the residence of Puyi, the last Emperor of China in Qing Dynasty. Now it has been renovated and preserved well.
Butokuden, built in 1942, is a typical Japanese building for Japanese soldier to do weapon practice and bodybuilding. It is currently used as a library and preserved well.

Masterplan
Comprehensive Analysis of Block Reconstruction
I mainly reconstructed two intersecting streets, along which are many historical and cultural relics. Some illegal buildings were removed and the streets were broadened along the Northeast and Southwest streets. I also designed the tram and grassed swales, and increased green space. Modern glass elements were applied in the elevation, bringing modern sense into the historical block. I designed more green space and an elevated corridor along the Northeast and Southwest streets, making the block richer in layers.
Design of Nodes Greenery landscape I cut the greenery landscape into an irregular polygons along the street, and planted trees at both sides of the road.
Corridor Corridors can connect the buildings and act as landscape scenery.
Links between buildings I used glass and steel structures to link two historical buildings, bringing modern elements to the old historical buildings and creating flexibility between them.
Crossroad I cut it into irregular polygons, and the space among polygons was used as the sidewalk.
Shops The outdoor parts of shops along the street, such as coffee shops and restaurants, can be used as leisure areas.
Square The center of the square is sunk and has rectangular glass installations with different heights and widths. Main streets the center of the main street is a tram rail, along which is grassed swales. There is a sidewalk on the sides of the road.

Tram Station Design
Summer Landscape of the Station
The main design concept of the tram and station is to transform the tram into a mobile sightseeing coffee shop. The station is the main place connecting the coffee shop and the exterior space. When the tram arrives, people can buy a cup of coffee while queuing up to take it. The top of the station is made up of four different triangles, and the gap is filled with glass. The station supplies mobile seats, which allows people to choose a place to sit and drink coffee.

Restoration of Mining Subsided Land Bring vitality and vigor to Mining Subsided Land
The coal mining in Xuzhou for years causes a large number of mining subsided land. The site of this subject is located in Woniu mining subsided land of Xuzhou. The Woniu Mountain coal mine is exhausted in resources and close to closure with many ecological problems such as the pollution of the soil and water in diggings caused by long-term coal mining and the atmosphere pollution of this area led by the coking plant in the east of the diggings. Moreover, this area is in the urban area of Xuzhou City, so there are relatively more people here and the industry ruins in the diggings are well preserved. Therefore, a industrial park is designed after the remediation process. I divide the whole project into two major parts, waterfront ecological remediation and industrial site reformation. First, I want to recover the ecological environment of this area through phytoremediation, and use the fixing, volatilization and absorption effect of plants to degrade the pollutants in soil, water and air. Furthermore, I plan to reform the industrial site left by Woniu coal mine by adding functional areas, water viewing gallery, etc. I hope the area can be reformed to an urban park through my design to improve the living environment and ecological protection consciousness of people.
Restoration Process 1976 In 1976: A large area of mining subsided land had been formed. The restoration had not started yet, and the procedure of urbanization was slow.
1995 In 1995: The restoration of mining subsided land was started, and some of them had been restored. The city got further expended.
2018
2030
In 2018: More mining subsided land got restored. With the expansion of the city, some mining subsided land was included in the urban city.
By 2030: Most subsided land will be restored, and changed into a scenic area of the city.

Ecological restoration range
The Integral Analysis Owing to the perennial mining of the coal resource, there has been a large area of mining subsided land formed in Xuzhou, which caused a large number of ecological problems to effect the life of the residents who live in the diggings. Thus, the restoration of the mining subsided land is extremely urgent.
Current Situation Xuzhou has 1,400 square kilometers of coal field area with near 25 million tons of mined coal per year, which makes a great contribution to the economic development of eastern China and even the whole nation. However, the sustainable high-intensity mining of coal resource also causes a large area of land occupied, destroyed or subsiding. Owing to the coal mining, the destroyed land in Xuzhou reaches over 400,000 acres, which has greatly influenced production and life of people, and the development of economic society in the subsided areas.

Current Situation Analysis of Woniu Mining Subsided Land
Woniu mining subsided land includes five subsidence-affected areas caused by coal mining, such as Xinhe coal mine and Woniu Mountain coal mine, which is the only mining subsided land in the urban city of Xuzhou currently with many residents and convenient traffic. Also, it is close to Xuzhou Yunlong scenic area, Abandoned Yellow River, and Yundaihe scenic spot, so I plan to reform it to a park to form a large tourist area with the other three scenic spots together.

Analysis of the Planning Area
The function of the breeding areas in the waterfront design has been continued since there is a breeding area to the south-west of the site. There is a coking plant to the east of the industrial site which is the main source of the atmosphere pollution in this area.It also has a great impact on the life of local residents in this area.

Plan
The planning of the area is divided into two parts, industrial site and waterfront. A steel-frame structure with industrial elements has been added in the industrial site for more industrial and modern feel here. The waterfront area is mainly divided into three parts, namely: aquaculture area, port, and plants visit & education area.
Plants Analysis
The soil, water and atmosphere in Woniu mining subsided land have been heavily polluted since the long-term coal mining and emission of polluting gas from the coking plant. One solution to this problem is using the fixing, volatilization and absorption effect of different vegetations to degrade the pollutants. The shrub, arbor, groundcover plants and aquatic plants that can respectively degrade the different kinds of pollutants are listed in the picture below. ARBOR
