LEVERAGING 1

LEVERAGING THE APPALACHIAN REGIONAL PORT CONASUAGA RIVER FUTURE DEVELOPEMNT Studio Project : University of Georgia Instructor: Doug Pardue/ Danny Bivins Group work

1 Murray county, GA has a long histo-

ry of farming and agricultural trade but the center of economy is started to shift from agriculture to industry. Appalachian Regional Port is a heavy industry facility set at the county, which arised concerns of the local communities since they are afraid of the damage of the rich ecological resources ,especially the Conasauga River system.

Conasauga Watershed functions as a rich habitat shelter

Therefore , this project proposed a regional strategy towards river reservation and a port site design, aiming to leveraging the industrial center with the eco hotspot in order to create a hybrid future productive landscape.

RE GENERATION 4

GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE FOR A VIBRANT FUTURE EPA Rainworks Competition: UC Berkeley Group Work

(Re)Generations is a vision of the UC Berkeley campus that integrates spatial and temporal strategies for green infrastructure to benefit local communities and future generations. Through research, iterative design, and discussions with local professionals and numerous campus administrators, we took advantage of the bounty of information before us to create a rich and coherent proposal. We developed a methodology that harnesses the existing long range master plan and pairs it with a robust analysis of contemporary factors and a comprehensive toolkit of stormwater green infrastructure. The goal was to create a process that could be passed along to campus administrators to aid in future master plan development and quantification of impacts such as runoff reduction and pollutant removal.

ZHONGLIAN ARCHITECTURE INSTITUTE OFFICE PLAZA DESIGN Summer Internship: China connecting building view points

Zhonglian Achitecture Institute is loacted at the intersection between two major roads with heavy traffic . The building is also surrouded by a commercial court, a residential area as well as an elementary school on the east side. The office garden which located at the central yard of the insititute is designed to provide a calm, relaxing and inspiring space for Architects working in the offices during the daily hours as well as a public garden open to nearby residents and even school childern on weekends and days when the insitute hold special events.

LOCATE THE OAKLAND TEENAGER WELLNESS CENTER GIS Analysis / group: Siyu Hou. Weijia Zhou. Charlie Yue

Looking through the social statistics of city of Oakland,we found that high rate of crime impacts quality of life of Oaklandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s teenagers. In addition, the majority of citizens in Oakland has a lower income compared to the California State, which let teenager families face more health problem such as shortage of healthy food, safe outdoor environment and public education. Aim: in order to imporve the safety of living environment, especially for teenagers who live in poor neigborhood. We proposed a wellness center which provides free healthy food, play facilities as well as free book for tenenagers
