ODYSSEY

The concept of Trinitas applied to my design, trying to explore the relationship between Urban, nature, and humanity – the hypostases of landscape architecture. Initially, each of them is a spatially independent element. However, if they are linked in a certain way, i.e., human in Urban, human in nature, and Urban in nature, etc., they form a relationship just like Trinitas, and in this multi-modal relationship could generate culture, arts and activities. In my view, the association ties by landscape architecture. It provides much more functionalities and contents than the three hypostases separated from each other. Therefore, when people are entering, appreciating and understanding these three, they will feel like visiting a harmonious family and listening to their stories together.

02 SANGAM The Confluence of Ritual and Ecology

Time: January 2019-May 2019 Type: GSAPP URBAN DESIGN STUDIO III, Team Work Partners: Keju Liu, Jinsook Lee Contribution: Schematic Design, Transect, Mapping, Landscape Design, Diagram, Perspectives, 3D Modeling, Video Making Tutors: Kate Orff (studio coordinator), Dilip da Cunha, Geeta Mehta, Thaddeus Pawlowski, Julia Watson, Linh K. Pham

Location: Pune City, Maharastra, India “Sangam” is a traditionally sacred place where Mula and Mutha rivers confluence in the geographic center in Pune. However, today, this Sangam includes the confluence of untreated sewage and debris from daily and festival rituals, damaging Pune’s eco-systems. We want to leverage and re-interpret rituals to heal and enhance Pune’s ecology and resilience. Since many Pune rituals were once rooted in ecology, we want to introduce rituals for restorative eco-building by residents of Pune. We believe that part of this neglect stems from the Sangam become increasingly inaccessible, so we propose improved access to the river, connected to public spaces and markets, different from the hard edged concrete wall approach currently being considered by Pune, which will turn stakeholders into mere consumers of the river assets. We propose multiscaler systems for this regeneration including microscale sewage and waste infrastructure, macroscale ecological habitat and, finally, the process of social engagement, including schools, temples and NGOs. We believe that it is only such cooperative effort that can bring the Sangam back to the position as a ritual and an ecological asset of Pune.

Sangam is a traditional and sacred place where Mula and Mutha river confluence in the geographic center in Pune. It contains ecological assets which could be the critical habitat area and hydrological benefit site. As a sacred place, there are lots of ritual and social activities happen there. Especially for the Ganesh festival. At the End of 10-day celebration. People need to carry their Ganpati idol to immerse to the river. Moreover, let Ganpati idol drift in the river and worship this holy process.

The Sangam is becoming a destination for untreated sewage and debris from daily and festival activities, damaging Pune’s eco-systems. Lack of sanitary facilities, inadequate sewage infrastructure in informal communities, and a considerable increase in population making ritual offerings at temples is the cause of water pollution. 16

Current Mula Mutha River plans envision a channelized entity restricted by concrete embankments, and it will further deteriorate the relationship between people and Mula Mutha River. However, in our project, Mula Mutha is envisioned as an opportunity to advance rituals and ecological resilience by creating soft edges; multiple access points to the water with ecoislands in the river can maximize the confluence of people, land, and water. The constructed islands and wetlands will help decentralize rituals and purify water in a multi-scalar system. Design Language Generation

Maximizing access points using constructed eco-islands will create multi-scalar waterfront programs and purifying systems. Furthermore, access points will be enduing as gathering destinations will include public spaces, markets, community gardens, and other proposed infrastructure. Islands of various scales and combinations planted with plants for phytoremediation will form the water purifying and holding systems. 17

What if the Sangam could recover its position as a sacred place through celebrating the confluence of ritual and ecology? We sit four approaches, proposing a new access network to increase accessibility, a new waste collection system which can motivate people to collect waste along the riverfront, creating Islands to decentralize ritual destination and a water purifying system along Nallah.

In our project, the market or urban agriculture-based access points will connect people, communities, water, and land. To leverage ritual and for healthier ecology, we encourage people to help build Eco-Islands with waste and phytoremediation plants rather than throwing waste and plastic idols into the River. We propose upcycling of festival debris through Eco-Island landscapes to reduce pollution and clean the River water. Meanwhile, constructed Eco-Islands will also become access points for decentralized rituals spots in the future. Proposed community based on garbage collection system is the first step for constructing Eco-Islands. Bamboo fences will be set up to capture waste from the water. Boats can act as moveable garbage stations to collect inorganic waste and transport to the metro stations for recycling. We propose to add value to trash. When people are bringing sorted waste, they can earn social credits and redeem them for metro tickets, freshwater or eco-friendly detergent. Clay captured from immersed Eco Ganpati idols will be reused to form new idol sculptures in eco idol-making workshops and for shaping Eco-Islands.

Regenerating and restoring the ecology and biodiversity is our second goal at Nallah scale, which can be achieved by creating a water purifying system and changing the resident’s daily behavior. We then propose modular units for sewage treatment along the Nallah, including informal settlement area. Once Nallahs are clean, people can perform their rituals at Nallahs also for decentralizing ritual destination. Daily ritual behavior of AARTI, the act, floating an offering lamp in a plate which made of leaves, can be changed to floating a small-scale bioremediation offering, so that can be combined to form small floating islands. Floating islands of phytoremediation material like Vetiver not only can help water purification but also can provide habitats for birds and fish. Currently, Nallahs drain into the river without any water purification or garbage collection system. Creating a garbage collection-exchange system in Nallahs and changing Nallahs from hard edge to soft edge will help purify water and maximize access for social engagement and amenities like a playground, community gardens, markets, toilets, and new ritual places. 22

03 CO-HABITAT Urban Design Tools To Co-Habit Hudson Valley

Time: September 2018-December 2018 Type: GSAPP URBAN DESIGN STUDIO II, Team Work Partners: Junyu Cao, Yanli Zhao, Angela Crisostomo Contribution: Schematic Design, Transect, Mapping, Toolkit Generation, Landscape Design, Diagram, Perspectives, 3D Modeling Tutors: Lee Altman, Jerome Haferd, Christopher Kroner, Justin Moore, David Smiley, Wendy Andringa, Nans Voron, Liz McEnaney, Michael Murphy Location: Hudson City, Hudson Valley Region, New York, US This project explores biodiversity as a central theme in developing ecosystem resilience. According to the 2018 WWF Living Planet Report, the population of known living species has declined by 60% in the last 50 years. This massive and continuing loss of species diversity threatens vital ecosystem services including food security, medical treatments, coastal flooding, and sea level rise mitigation, among many others. The biggest threats to biodiversity are land conversion and habitat fragmentation. But to create real impact, issues of land conversion and habitat fragmentation need to be addressed at regional and local scales.

Ecological Habitats can be broadly categorized into forests, grasslands, wetlands, and aquatic habitats. Local planning authorities and communities can make these habitat ecologies more context-specific by mapping a Natural Resources Inventory. A Natural Resource Inventory maps local habitats such as upland meadows, hardwood and shrub swamps, freshwater tidal swamps. 30

This project addresses a global condition of destructive urbanization by providing locally applicable tools. Co-habit creates a planning and design toolkit called Biodiversity [+] to help local communities understand local conditions and take action. The toolkit consists of an array of design interventions deployable at various scales, site conditions, target species, and contexts. It serves as a resource for local governments, civic groups, and individuals to create change in their farms, waterfronts, cities, and regions.

As a case study, we deployed these design interventions in Hudson City to envision a more biodiverse scenario for the Year 2030. While the design interventions are implemented as tactical solutions for site-specific conditions, the greater strategy of integrating corridors and co-habitats in the urban fabric is meant to go beyond Hudson City as part of a more extensive and more resilient network of healthy ecosystems. We also provide opportunities for local business and communities and individual volunteers to design and maintain those potential spaces. And create stewardship to meet human expectations and ecological purposes. 34

Oklahoma Botanical Garden & Arboretum (OBGA), Stillwater, Oklahoma, USA

The headquarters garden for Oklahoma Botanical Garden & Arboretum (OBGA) is composed of 100 acres just west of the Oklahoma State University campus in Stillwater. It includes the Oklahoma Gardening studio set, the turf and nursery research centers and Centennial Grove. The Headquarters Garden feature over 1000 species of herbaceous and woody plants. The arboretum was initially created as a teaching, research and extension entity within the Department of Horticulture and Landscape Architecture. The fundamental objective was to teach plant identification, provide a site for introduced species through USA, Bureau of Plant Introductions Cooperative and to conduct research for plant and related industries including but not restricted to production and urban plant establishment problems. 39

In any case, the visibility of the remains must be guaranteed. The project will need to be embedded within the existing urban tissue, responding to the notion of context - the Roman historical centre - connecting it with the existing locations and infrastructure. Lungotevere dei tebaldi and Via Giulia are the main infrastructural axis. The proposal will become a new hub for the city, and the challenge will be to work with the existing archeological ruins.

CONCEPT

The glass pillars raising along the contour of the relic combining with the vine reappear the ancient building shape. And the pillars also create different function zone in the plaza to gather people and stimulate this area. Use elements of the ancient roman bath and Michelangelo to show the respect of the history.

Set up the stairs in the main direction of the people circulation, and connect the ground and underground floor.

Some of the steel plates come with gaps or windows to exhibit the beautiful part of the relics.

Ground Floor - Regenerate the Plaza

The ground floor is designed as a plaza to gather people and carry out various activities. The large pool in the middle of the site is just like the water surface of the Roman bath, and it has been considered as the most direct medium between the layers. As the water makes lives possible, you could get some information through the water which has also been a reflection for the surroundings. The glass pillars raising along the contour of the relic have enhanced the perception of the relic underground. In the northern part of the site, with the different height glass pillars and vine plants to recreate the old building contour. Moreover, with all that reflection and refraction of the surroundings, the botany, buildings, the images of active people will present on the glass pillars from different angles so that people can renew the fragmented information in that way. Changeable and multiple reflection and refraction contain the explanation of the narrative fragments, helping people to fit their feelings together.

Connection - Narrow Stair

Stair is the most important part to connect the ground and the underground floor. ·On the ground floor, people following the guidance of drains can find the stairway entrance. ·Under the ground, people through the reflection light of the drains can find the stairs. The stairs are narrow, so when people walking down from the ground floor, they may get a feeling of a mysterious treasure hunt. 69

Fissure

The exhibition of the relics underground is quite fragmented. Most of the relics are well protected by steel plates, and only some of the steel plates come with gaps or windows. You can peek an images of the most beautiful part of the relics through those fissures.

Through Fact

Based on the understanding of Chinese classical YIN-YANG philosophy and apply to historical Rome, it is an internal-oriented structure in the area of the underground relic. Those thick steel plates have formed the boundary by wrapping the original historical sites. The topological form on the plates has blurred the boundary of the entity and virtuality. The relic volume and the affiliated relationship underground are no longer distinct, and the whole underground volume is not perceivable. This peculiarity has created a type of spatial interest in lost and selection. The tourist will get lost in continuous choices with delicate overlaps in their memories, the time and space will last in the sense of déjà vu, infinitely.

The underground touring lines comply with the relics in space and form different scales, in that case, some of the places will not be reached. Still, visual perception will lead people to surmise those stories in the places they can not reach to right now. The techniques of renaissance frescoes are applied in the lamppost above, using all the circular bulbs to portray the original scales and outline of the relics, abstractly. While emphasizing the repeating and varied space elements in the narrative method, it brings the experience of deja vu for the people walking in it, and these fragmented impressions combined together to form a new subjective cognition in the relic. 71

07 EXHIBITION DESIGN - DYNAMIC LIQUID Composite Modeling Time: January 2019-May 2019 Type: GSAPP VISUALIZATION STUDIO, Individual Work Tutor: Jackie Martinez Location: Columbia University, New York, US

This exhibition is a part of the final presentation for visualization studio; Composite Modeling. The project discusses the various textures generate by liquids in different states. I selected six regular liquids to be seen and mix the liquids in a particular order and freeze the liquids with liquid nitrogen in a short time and record the resulting texture. And then these textures have been traced, extracted and colored. At the presentation, I placed the frozen liquids on the shelves. These melt at room temperature and then contact with dry ice in the box under the shelves. The entire process record the liquids change the states from solid states to liquid and back to solid and study the dynamic texture produced by it. The whole dynamic process forms a complete cycle throughout the exhibition process, inspiring people to think about deconstruction and reorganization between time, dynamic states, and color change.

08 EXHIBITION DESIGN - NEVER BUILT PAIRS GSAPP 2019 End of Year Show Time: January 2019-May 2019 Type: GSAPP VISUALIZATION STUDIO, Team Work Tutors: Sam Lubell, Greg Goldin Location: Columbia University, New York, US

This exhibition is a part of Columbia GSAPP 2019 the End Of Year Show. Never Built Paris sheds light on the radical architectural thinking that, despite the French capital’s reputation as a romantic city frozen in time, has always pushed the edges of design and engineering. This exhibition, conceived and designed by GSAPP students in a Spring semester seminar, focuses on skyscrapers— the chief architectural expression of modernity worldwide—whose development has long been championed in Paris. (The Eiffel Tower remained the world’s tallest structure for 41 years.) The dozen projects in the show—from a cast iron water tower to a glass, steel, and concrete catenary high-rise—document more than 100 years of unfulfilled experimentation. These unrealized architectural designs employ the most innovative materials and techniques of their time to create soaring facades, dramatic spaces, and profound urban changes. Like Paris itself, the exhibition is defined by an axis, with projects taking the form of a dense street wall. It is organized chronologically, emphasizing the forward forward scope of French thought in the context of worldwide architectural achievements. Based on historical research, students’ models, drawings, and videos were created in an equally forward-thinking way, incorporating light, water, and inventive materials and techniques. 76

This exhibition is a part of Columbia GSAPP 2019 the End Of Year Show. It is showing Urban Design spring studio witch investigates urbanization and climate challenges in two regions with critical ecological contexts, intense temporal migration, resource conflicts, and growth trajectories: Pune, India & the Mula- Mutha River, and Can Tho Vietnam in the lower Mekong Delta. The exhibition takes advantage of the limited variability in UD studio space (206 Fayerweather) and maximizes present researches of the entire spring studio. Applying digital displays as the main body, the computers, along the two routes guided by the blue arrow and the red arrow, show the "what if questions" and presentation slides of each project in the Pune studio and the Can Tho studio. Studio Project boards layout on North and South studio walls. Two projectors are arranged on the east side to show the Pune studio, and Can Tho studio compiled videos. The tables near the main door show the site photos of Pune Studio and Can Tho studio. 78
