Projective Kiosks 自助凉亭

Castle Peak in HK is a delineated firing range for military. However, not only citizens occupied the area authorized to PLA (People’s Liberation Army) for their recreational uses, the 3 stakeholders (PLA, residents, hikers) as a whole made severe damage to the land. Thus, administrators must make the right management decisions. However, what the government has done currently is dissatisfying.

Inspired by self-built kiosks on-site, the project aims at promoting a brand new management scheme based on spontaneously made kiosks for the administrators. The new kiosk prototype should be flexible, sustainable, and open for everyone to use. 香港青山一直被解放军征为训练场地，军事演习不仅对环境造成破坏，其和当地居民与登山客的用地也产生 了冲突。该作业通过以场地内现有的自建凉亭为灵感，因地制宜设计了三种凉亭系统协调了各个利益相关群 体并协助修复了当地的生态。

Wander Land 世博漫游

2010 Expo helped Shanghai claim its transition from an industrial city to an international metropolis. With the slogan better city, better life, countries demonstrated their vision of a better city with their iconic pavilions. However, the site per se did not enjoy the benefits as much as the city. After the Expo, the place was forgotten with most of the pavilions demolished and the vast land left vacant. The inhumane road system and sparse programs form the unfriendly urban fabric.

In 2018, when I visited the site again, some changes can be spotted on-site which implied another transition undergoing. New high-rises were rising which reminds me of The Bund. As Hou Tan locates in the new district with relatively less population, will it be another destination of city expansion and become another hub for shanghai city? Will the site inherit the glory of the Expo and become a paragon of a better city?

The design takes the vacant land as opportunity to vision a new city typology which is efficient, vibrant and green. 该设计以上海世博园区为例探讨了景观都市和地标建筑和谐共处，共同创造宜居环境的可能性。通过将园区的干路转化 为绿色廊道，设计实现了将城市生活与生态保护的融合，同时设计用大景观包围大建筑，既缩小了建筑的距离感也丰富 了上海的城市天际线。

The figure-ground demonstrates how dramatic urban fabric could change in less than a decade. As one of the most proactive governments in the world, China converted this 5km2 industrial shantytown into a large theme park in less than 5 years. However, the decay of the past booming scene was also at an amazing speed. Most of the gigantic structures were demolished by 2015 leaving vast vacant land. Will there be another radical change in the urban fabric in the next 20 years?

Reidentify Shanghai Identity: Juxtaposition of Mega-Structure and Mega-Landscape Discussed all the odds and ends of the design, it is time for us to zoom out and go back to the original question I raised.

Can this piece of land redefine the city? I guess the answer will still end up in the Mega things, which form the skyline and leave indelible impressions to all the visitors. My answer to the mega-structure dilemma is not only densifying the place but also endowing it a counterpart: Mega-landscape.

After a long run through the hustle and bustle in the city, the running track stemmed out from the residential area will end at the Expo Axis, which is now surrounded by fast-grow forest and metasequoia trees. The mega-structures may seem abandoned laying in the giant wetland bubbles but equipped with its original programs. The axis will remain a shopping mall underneath with wild grass growing above. Similarly, The Chinese Pavilion and Benz Arena will also remain what they were but attain a sense of tranquility.

This juxtaposition demonstrates my wish to harmonize nature and urban life as a integrated whole.

Boten National Park 磨丁国家公园

Conservation awareness-building under increasing tourism and illegal wildlife trafficking in the Golden Triangle

From land-locked to land-linked, Laos has inevitably become breeding ground for wildlife trafficking. The country is implicated actively engaging in the trafficking not only as a resource country but more as a conduit country from Africa to Asia. Among all the sin cities flourishing in the Golden Triangle, Boten SEZ is one of the most critical with its location at the cross point of the GMS economic corridor and the under-construction China-Lao railway. In this free zone for Chinese tourists, wildlife products are purchased right back to China even without crossing the custom. Being fully controlled by a Chinese developer, Boten is viewing a 10 times tourist boom by 2030. The condition of wildlife trafficking will inevitably deteriorate with the huge interests of both investors and customers.

1,000,000

The project aims at discussing possibilities of slowing down wildlife smuggling through composite wildlife trafficking interventions especially in terms of awareness building. By combining three existing education models, the project designs a comprehensive anti-wildlife trafficking base which is highly cooperative with local villagers. The base is divided into three stages which will be developed in sequence but coexist at last.

Three quantified goals have been set as the evaluation criteria for this project to ensure that the project can succeed in mass awareness building while not compromising people’s livelihood with minimum modification on the ground. Even though the project mainly discusses in the aspect of the Lao government, villages’ capacity building and alternative scenarios are especially discussed understanding that the proposed project is not permanent for the uncertainty of attitudes of Chinese developers and the effectiveness of the interventions. Thus a smooth transition from villages to an educational base is envisioned with multiple possible scenarios proposed and discussed. The villagers’ livelihood is also guaranteed to be more resilient after the interventions implemented. 磨丁经济特区在吸引了巨额中国投资的同时也成为了野生动物从其他国家非法流向中国的要道。在中老铁路即将完工之际，野生动物走私 的隐患引起了很多国际非盈利组织的注意。虽然小规模的野生动物救助中心已经取得了成效，但是这种经营模式对于铁路带来的庞大潜在 消费者来说只是杯水车薪。本设计通过对现有大规模旅游教育生态基地普达措国家公园的学习，探讨了在磨丁口岸设立国家公园的可能 性，以此来提高游客与当地居民对生态保护的意识

Rest in Green 生生不息

In Hong Kong, a city with a massive and increasing population but limited land resources, inadequate cemetery space for people’s afterlife has long been a widely-discussed issue. Like most Chinese, Hong Kong people follow the burial custom with formal coffins and graves passing through generations to show respect to the people who passed away. After British people introduced cemetery in the 19th century, dozens of cemetery were built to meet the increasing decease rate. However, new cemeteries are harder to be built due to land shortage and residents’ complaints of traffic and environment.

The project prospect future cemetery in Hong Kong in terms of form and function based on analysis and prediction of social/political/environmental factors in the upcoming 50 years in Hong Kong. The design proposes a concept of constant developing cemetery park on borrow lands. 在香港这样的高密度城市，传统火葬逐渐和紧张的用地产生了冲突。尽管香港政府近年来大力宣传绿色 殡葬，但是群众的接受度仍然比较低。通过对香港殡葬历史的研究，设计试图加强绿色殡葬的仪式感来 提高大众的接受度。结合垂直殡葬，再生殡葬等新兴技术，设计创造了一个未来五十年的殡葬公园，给 悼念的人们带来别样的慰藉。
