'A reorientation towards nature amplifies how parks are often framed in anthropocentric ways, but can parks be just for insects? Plan Bee (Honourable Mention) develops an incremental strategy for bee-friendly spaces in residential gardens and presents a challenging “messy” aesthetic for spaces in the city. Suburban gardens are also components of the humorously presented Meta Homes and Gardens, a rethinking of relationships between wilderness, city and gardens that challenges conceptions of land ownership and the divisions of space.'

ANTHROPOGENICGALAPAGOS
Today, after decades of vast human activities and urbanization process, Galapagos Island has gradually transformed into anthropogenic island ecosystems these days and it will possibly complete this transformation soon. Some of the transformations are visible and sensible, such as deforestation, water pollution, and soil degradation, these variations can be summarized as phenomenons that we can express about them. However, a certain amount of transformations are essentially complex and intricate, and the performances for themselves are recessive and implicit. The complexity of our urban system and all the impacts caused by it are sometimes beyond our scope of understanding. Also, it is the complexity make us restrictedly focus on the superficial phenomenons rather than giving a whole picture of the impacts and circumstances to the environment in this anthropogenic age.
The Galapagos Islands inspired the most notorious theory on Nature, Darwin's evolution by natural selection. Darwin's had the radical intuition that Nature's "intelligence" is not its own, and while nature's designs are brilliant, the "designers" are as uncomprehending as nature itself.
By taking advantage of new technology and the development of computation, we can turn the archipelago into an open-air laboratory to study what we call evolution by the anthropogenic selection, recognizing that even a remote archipelago is not immune to the forces of global urbanisation. Moreover, it is worth to frame the whole picture of the significant impact that the urban system brought to Galapagos islands.

Based on this concept, a square, 2400 by 2400 pixels drawing has been made to illustrate the distribution, dynamics, sources and speculations of ubiquitous human waste, in a 10000m by 10000m portion of San Cristobal Island, Galapagos Archipelago. As the massive drawing is shown, clues such as connections, nodes, distance, patterns can be found within the data-based, massive computation drawing. Meanings of wastefulness and mindlessness can be explored in this conceptual framework, which will lead to the prelude of the following design iteration sequences.
area of San Cristobal Island is largely occupied by agricultural lands and villages. The waste management system there is less sufficient than areas, hence, illegal dumping and burning is commonly occurring in rural Pointsareas. here represented the possible illegal dumping spots, and the lines imitated the distribution of waste particles.

Single structure, lack of landscape value and humanized design are the most common problems in today’s pedestrian bridge design. We are devoted to create a new type of versatile,environmental friendly pedestrian bridge.The location we choose is Beichitou Cross in Xi’an,which is a boundary between new town and old town.Based on its special surroundings in the location ,we choose “slow down your steps, feel the change of city” as our theme.In order to solve the conflict of the linear space of the ground and weave important elements such as ecological greening, urban culture into the pedestrian bridge,we use “weave” as our design concept.

MASTERPLAN
The site Beichitou Cross is located at the cross of Xiying Road and Xiyan Road at Yanta District. At the southwest of Beichitou Cross is the Qujiang New District where a historical district Dayan Pagoda ,Tang Paradise are located .However,the southeast of Beichitou Cross is a chaos village surrounded by high-rise buildings. There is a huge gap between the two areas.
