ECO-LIVING WITH MANGROVE Pre-disaster Plan and Managed Retreatment GSAPP UD Studio III: Water Urbanism Date: Spring 2022 Location: Caye Caulker, Belize Instructors: Kate Orff, Geeta Mehta, Adriana Chavez, Thad Pawlowski, Lorena Bello Gomez, Tori Vuono Team: Rongxin Tang, Aishwarya Mathukumilli, Sydnee Sampson Storymap Link: https://storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/07d21b7e513844e6a9590689672edd07

INTRODUCTION: Belize is home to the world's second-largest barrier reef and is widely known for its tourism. The cayes act as a natural coastal barrier and are also the most vulnerable to natural disasters such as tropical storms or hurricanes. Caye Caulker is unprotected from the increased frequency of hurricanes with sea-level rise and coastal development.

We introduce an amphibious lifestyle which breaks the cycle of hurricane damage, that prevent them from rebuilding duplicate structure which are vulnerable to hurricanes. With the proposed hurricane responsive green and grey infrastructure, they can seasonally migrate to Belize with their homes, allowing the residents to transition into an eventually managed retreat. By transforming the extractive tourism into eco-tourism, tourists are exposed to the inland ecology more than the generic coast and contribute to the restoration of the ecology at Caye Caulker and Belize.

Mangrove Deforestation

mangrove reserve is at risk. Deforestation and coastal development have made the shorelines vulnerable to hurricanes. Due to global climate change, the frequent and unpredict hurricanes have increased, causing extensive damage to infrastructure, livelihoods, and in some cases, severe injury and/or death.

| PRE-COVERY STRATEGY: Hurricane Resilient Urban Design | Existing: Damaged areas after a hurricane category 5

Step 1: Step 2: Identify the highest (safe) points, developed Plant mangroves along coastline and relocate areas, and existing mangrove reserves dwellings in the highlands as clusters

Step 3: Connecting the high points by roads during normal water level and by water transportation during water level rising (hurricane season or SLR) The proposed footprint is

YOUTH NATURE EDUCATION We need to help to get kids out into nature and learn more about not only about nature, but also like working with the community. Kids, from an early age, need to learn how to be active in the community, instead of just letting other people make decisions for them.

FOEREST RESOURCE I want to show people how beautiful the forest is, because so many people that live in the area didn’t know it’s there, and they thought it’s dangerous.

Definition of property: Policing system is a military force used by the ruling class to protect private property and oppress people with opposing interests. Public funding always favors mega developments and capitalist interests over the needs of communities. Thereby, the expansive policing and prison system become venues of profits and punishment under the name of maintaining public safety.

Definition of after property: Public funding should be shifted from the policing system to social needs and services. New collective system will be formed to empower the communities to protect their interests and the people can become the ruling class under the new social order. Communitybased programs will address the public health and safety without armed force and violence.

WASTE REVITALIZATION Decentralized Waste Management System GSAPP UD Studio I: City Edges: Sites, Systems, Spaces, Stories Summer 2021 Instructors: Nans Voron, Sagi Golan, Jae Shin, Galen Pardee, Austin Sakong, Sean Gallagher, Tami Banh, Candelaria Mas Pohmajevic Team: Rongxin Tang, Lipeng Zhu, Lianghao Cheng Video Link: https://youtu.be/iC9yxonbdoM

INTRODUCTION: Newark receives the outsized amount of waste from its region. Existing waste management method creates noise and air pollution, especially in underrepresented areas, causing social injustice.

We proposed to leverage the existing bus system to create a decentralized waste recycling system to reduce the existing damage. The new waste management system includes multifunctional bus stations for waste dropoff and recreation; improved bus routes for more efficient waste collection; and self-sufficient recycling hubs as community centers to convert waste into energy through biodegradation and produce organic food.

OPERA "THEATER" AFTER PROPERTY Interpreting "After Property" Sample

Urban Design Studio II: Atlanta After Property Date: Fall 2021 Location: Chongqing, China Instructors: Emanuel Admassu, Nina Cooke John, Chat Travieso, Lexi Tsien Individual Work

The functions and meanings of a property can be redefined by the people who use it. The Sichuan Opera troupe generated the potential of different spaces to create “theaters” during their relocation forced by the urban development. The theater makes full use of limited space through cohabitation, versatility shape shifting of temporary spaces over a period of time.

BARTRAM"S GARDEN AFTER PROPERTY Interpreting "After Property" Sample

Urban Design Studio II: Atlanta After Property Date: Fall 2021 Location: Chongqing, China Instructors: Emanuel Admassu, Nina Cooke John, Chat Travieso, Lexi Tsien Individual Work

The place of natural resource in the property regime determines how it can benefits communities. Using resources by-need without compensation is then considered theft.

Mutual aid is subversive as it provides resources on a by-need basis with no expectation of a transaction following. In doing so, resources once commodified are returned to public use and are removed from the system of property.

The event will begin at first week of every ster. The design topics include sustainable cafe, energy-saving AC, g elevator, and waste recycling system, etc.

events, we hope more students can engage in GreenSAPP activities and learn more about climate change. By enhancing students’ on and participation in the projects passed from one generation of he next, we hope to raise Columbia students’ awareness of climate t them contribute to climate change.

Gender

“Teaching Community: A Pedagogy of Hope”, author and activist bell hooks speaks of the historic process of n which certain groups within a larger social system are made to be “other” in order to benefit the more dominant n the system of industry, we believe that women have historically suffered this process of “othering”. Industry eap labor to function, and through “othering” women, they are able to be paid less, with less protections, and for jobs. However, we also acknowledge that women have made significant ground within these areas and now earn higher rate than men within New York State, even beginning to close the pay gap. In order to erase this notion of based on gender, we aim to address the root causes of many of these issues.

INTRODUCTION: The website is a collection of material photos taken by myself during field trip.

The materials tell stories of the sites and reflect the local lifestyle. They are the interface with urban landscapes and bring inspiration. Grown up in Yunnan and lived in Chongqing and New York, I tried to interpret the familiar landscape in these cities in this way.
