This 2.5 Km streetscape ties together a residential district, commercial and arts zone, and heritage assets.

By maximizing the available area for climate-appropriate planting and active recreation programming, the project attempts to shift typical urban lifestyles back into the outdoor public realm. Paving, custom furniture, and public art draw inspiration from Islamic geometric motifs and traditional textile design. The paving pulse is an abstract, organized, repetitive system which emphasises the linear nature of the corridor. The planting design capture local ecologies of waadi and palm oasis, to create a seasonally vibrant and water-saving green strategy.

The streetscape design works in harmony with the architecture and with Beijing’s climate, exaggerating its characteristic colors and forms. Trees were selected for good growth, and with clear trunks high enough to allow open views from street to building and accommodate seating and movement at the sidewalk. Strong, openbranched gingkos anchor the sidewalk at the museum shop; bright-leafed spreading pears frame the entry; showy, red-twigged dogwoods embrace the outdoor café; a clump of birch with their rustling leaves and white trunks screen the west edge of the site.

POOL CRE E K M OUN D Medigating Future Flood Event through Terrain In light of the recent typhoon event, the sides of Shing Mun River gets flooded. Therefore, the main concept of the design is to move up the space, level with the exisiting elevated walkway. The site has been divided into two halves, ramps are introduced to allow easier access.

Located in the center is an EVA with bioswales on the side.

In typical monsoon season, the bioswale will be filled with water. If the water exceed the capacity of the bioswales, it will just flow on the EVA like a river. There are freshwater tanks located inside the twin towers for storage and irrgation. Three floor slabs on each building have been removed to build the mound; it also allow sunlight and ventilation to the space within the tower. The ground floor of the building will be used as public space, one side of the mound as market while the other as community center with children playground and fitness facilities.

Lek Yuen Estate, Shatin, HK 2017 Fall Natalia Echeverri Public Housing, Residential

Wo Che Estate is built on an elevated ground, the main circulation lies on the bridge, separated from the vehicular circulation. However, most of the local commercial programs are placed on the ground, people who wants to get to the ground level will have to use the stairs, located far apart in space, to access these commerical nodes. While the population in the estate is aging, it is important to create a barrier free path for the residents to get from the elevated walkway to the ground.

Dala, Yangon, Myanmar 2017 Spring Vincci Mak Urban Planning

Background Research Video https://youtu.be/eAzJ1uDEbo0 As city expends, it is inevitable that Dala will undergo a series of urban development. It is important that we evaluate the capability of the future water discharge and waste disposal system. As 42% of the waste generated in Dala are indiscriminate waste. It is important people properly dispose informal waste. A community plot farming strategy will be introduced to deal with it. From the level of an individual, people can utilize plastic bottles in creating pot plants. By connecting individual pot plants, a long stretch of waste buffer can be created. From the household level, a community garden can be implemented to deal with household compost and provide new settlers a temporary source of livelihood. On the township scale, Yangon food waste can be sent to the fields as fertilizer.

By introducing waste disposal system in various scales, Dala can become a more liveable and hygienic settlement.

The social engagement from the community plot planting embodies both individual territories and common ground, it is more than ever vital in terms of urbanization.

SYNTHESIZI N G FRACTION AL BOR DE R Defining Function through Facile Triangles The highly engineered triangulation has given artistic value to the mono-functional slope, the triangles on the edge gets scattered so to merge with the existing landscape.

Five prototypes have been created to meet the needs of a drainage system, a retaining wall, a shelter, a seating and pedestrian path connecting Stubbs Road and Wong Nai Chung Road. The triangle panels in each of the prototype are positioned at a different angle as to provide specific function. They each have different materiality; some of the form can work as a plug-in to another prototype.

Most of the existing vegetation will be kept on site. There are openings on the retaining wall that allows trees to grow.

New vegetation will also be introduced to the design. With water from the drainage typology, the environment is best for moss to establish. In 40 years time, the moss will cover the whole wall, creating an aesthetic green border.

CONCESSION AND OCCUPATION Securing Land Tenure through Landscape Networks and Plantation Cooperative In Myanmar, as the ceasefire agreement began in 2011, there has been a reduction in fighting, many internally displaced persons have returned. Yet there is an increase in resource extraction and the commercial development in the area that leads to deforestation. Some residents returned and attempted to rebuild after displacement but were often subject to further forcible relocation. To secure land tenure while minimizing harm to forest, a cooperative model is introduced. Cooperative model encourages collaboration between company, smallholders and farmers. It avoids conflicts from unethical land grabbing. Farmers will pool their land plots into a shared plantation, sharing profits and risks with current industies. By easing tension with existing oil palm concession, this cooperative structure and landscape management scheme provide a better livelihood opportunity for those resettling in the future.

In order to minimize harm to natural assets while allowing economic activity in the area, sustainable oil palm plantation will be set up.

As Myanmar experiences very heavy rainfall and drought throughout the year. A drainage and irrigation system can make sure oil palm can still grow in less favourable climatic condition. Slope less than 10 degree do not have to be terraced. A gentle continous slope can enhance accessibility; allowing mechanical operation to take place.

Joining competition is a bittersweet process, it often ends up in numerous late nights, an exhausted mind and body, and most of the time, the effort may not pay off. However, the collaboration with other teammates in the design process stimulates critical thinking, the constructive debates although energy draining, is a fulfilling experience.

Illinois, USA Chiu C.K., Chong Y.L., Wong H.Y. 2020 Campus Installation 5 acres Review in Progress

Rolling Lens is an interactive device that reinterpreted the original story of Ragdale and transform it into a modern story to tell. The original plan of Ragdale Ring was a symmetrical and static 2-D ring on a paved lawn surrounded by a low limestone wall. We retraced such important historic reference and modified them in two ways - one by pushing down the original ring in the plan and develop it into a visual rail on the ground and one by rotating the ring 90 degrees into a new ‘Lens’. By superimposing the components, a new interactive Ragdale Ring in 3-dimension is created. The horizontality (the rail) and verticality (the Lens) are concerted design as a new take of Ragdale Ring in 2020. With its intrinsic mobility, the Rolling Lens is a metaphor to the lens of a camera, framing different views on the site following the footsteps of the users on the campus. Rolling lens interpreted Mobility from its fundamental quality to move, elevated it into an experience that responds and respects the context and history of Ragdale campus. It sets a new scene and tone for the Ragdale story 2020.

Qianhai is an important node to the planning of the greater bay area. It creates nature within the city – having the identity of a financial hub and an ecological habitat.

Ruoying Pavilion aims to become a carrier reflecting nature, integrating landscape in the facade itself. The geometry of the architecture takes the shape of water, creating interesting public space pocket. The aluminium plates of the façade, reflect surrounding scenery, and change with the environment over time, season and weather. The landscape itself also captures seasonal change. In spring, the most beautiful scenery is to stand on the roof and look beyond; In summer, the shade of Camphor trees in the front yard provide comfortable gathering space and lush patches of green. In autumn, the maple and birch in the back garden paved a golden avenue that shines. In winter, splashes of red from birch red-twig embellish the site, guiding visitors to the warm underground space below.

BRID GE OF AQUIFER Yangjaegogae Eco-bridge Design Competition Entry The yangjaegogae eco bridge design competition aims to create a green passageway across the gyeongbu expressway in order to connect the mountainous areas on either side of the existing highway — this allows citizens and animals to move across the highway through the bridge undisturbed.

The bridge is a natural, simplistic and pictorial passage through the southern slopes of the two discontinued mountain peaks of Mt. Umyeon and Maljukgeori Parks.

To prioritize animal habitation and movement, circulations for animals and pedestrian are seperated, creating zones of little to no human circulation. The bridge’s structural arch helps to create a gateway to the busy highway below.

The architectural feature is responding to the topography of the two peaks, an extension of the landscape.

C L E A R WAT ER CAP ITAL The Dencity Competition 2017 by Shelter Global Access to safe drinking water and sanitation services is always a fundamental challenge to people in Kamrangirchar.

The major problems the design aims to tackle are absence of sanitation services, river contamination, flooding and lack of clean fresh water. With regard to the abovementioned problems, a phasing plan with three spatial design strategies: “Filter and Drink” - sewage filtration system; “Digest and Drink” - mangrove planting scheme; and “Save and Drink” - rainfall harvesting system and one non-spatial design strategy “Educate and Drink” education programmes are suggested. The core elements could be transferred to other slum areas facing similar issues, regardless of the locations. Safe drinking water and sanitation services are essential in realisation of all human rights, having positive influences on all living conditions and communities as a whole.
