RECALL FILM CULTURE
Individual Work
Duration: 2022.1-2022.5
The Shanghai Film Museum is a landmark place for the city's culture, showing visitors the charm of movies. In order to enhance the spirit of the film venue, I extracted some elements of the traditional film projection mode and combined these elements with the landscape design, allowing people to experience different outdoor Spaces related to the film projection. At the same time, as a community green space, there will be regular and planned activities, and encourage spontaneous and informal gatherings of the surrounding people.
SITE CONTEXT
It could be a great place for family outing.
We need a open place to relax after work.

STEP INTO WILDNESS
INTERACTIVE UNDERGROUND PLAZA
Site:Yangpu District, Shanghai, China
Individual Work
Duration: 2023.1-2023.3
Wildness and urban environments can coexist in a variety of ways, through landscape space, planting area, and other types of natural areas that provide urban residents with access to nature. The underpass of Wujiaochang carries a large number of people every day. There are few people willing to stay in the crowd coming and going, so I hope that through the intervention of natural elements, people can get involved in daily commuting, feel the wild nature in the city, and increase the sense of community identity through planting, learning and daily maintenance.

ESCORT TO THE FUTURE
CHILED-FRIENDLY RURAL LANDSCAPE
Site:Shaqiao town, Nanhua County, Yunnan Province,China
Duration: 2022.6-2022.10
The physical and mental development of left-behind children has always been an urgent problem to be solved. In order to help some left-behind children without their parents to accompany, through self-study or communication with peers, play to alleviate psychological problems. In order to let the children get more company, I investigated the local cultural characteristics and characteristic industries, and integrated them into the design of the site. By increasing employment opportunities, I would attract at least one parent who is away from home to return to the family and accompany the children's physical and mental development.

Live With Coral Reefs
REBUILDING INDIGENOUS FISFERY SYSTEM IN TAYTAY 4
Site:Taytay, Palawan Island, Philippine
Individual Work
Duration: 2022.10-2023.01
Given the increasing environmental problems, the living conditions of coral reefs are becoming precarious. In April 2022, the UNESCO warned of a coral crisis, calling for prompt action to protect coral reefs in all countries and regions.
Located in a tropical region, the Philippines used to have beautiful coral along its coastline, but due to global warming, the average sea temperature has also risen, leading to bleaching and even gradual death of most of the coral. In order to protect coral and its ecosystem, taking Taytay Area of Philippines as an example, this project analyzes the three living states of coral reefs, and intervenes in the way of ecological design to protect coral health at different stages. Coral restoration is a long-term and huge project, which requires the assistance of local industries, scientific protection, restoration and cultivation, as well as the strengthening of relevant knowledge education and publicity, so as to gradually alleviate the severe ecological problems.
Coral reefs’ very survival is at stake, warns UNESCO in bid to boost resilience On April 14, 2022 !! !!
Coral Reef Crisis
In Taytay,Palawan Island,Philippine
3/4 of the world's coral reefs are located in Coral reef Delta Region
81.3% of the coral reefs are in Phililpine water
50% of the coral reefs in Phililpine water had bleached 60% of the world's coral reefs are threatened by human activity
Within 50 years, 70% of the world's coral reefs could be gone

RENDERING
Tourist Perspective | Popular Science
As a tourist destination, the ecological floating islands off the coast are not only great for viewing, but also help alleviate local ecological problems, such as coastal erosion and soil erosion, which have a great impact on the growth and restoration of coral. Visitors come here not only to see the beauty, but also to learn about the cycle of the ecosystem, which helpspromote coral conservation.
Local Perspective | Clutivation & Conservation
Locals recycle the remains of dead coral, after processing them and release them into breeding ponds, where the parrotfish's digestive systems expel clean, fine sand.
The clean sand also provides a good environment for coral cultivation and promotes local coral restoration.
During the summer vacation, I traveled to Anhui Province and was attracted by the local folk houses and archway buildings, so I recorded the beautiful scenery through gouache painting and scene sketches.
It was summer, the lotus leaves in the pond were especially beautiful green, just like jade, so I also painted it with gouache.
Chinese traditional gardens are always full of poetry. Through copying forms, I can have a deeper understanding of Chinese traditional culture and learn relevant knowledge.
