THE UNDULANCE
Claiming back initiatives and autonomous rights in urban public spaces for framing our self-governing future and contributing ourselves to the creation and maintenance of urban landscapes.
Student: Steve Yi Wang Tutor: Alistair Kirkpatrick
RESEARCH QUESTION How to use the idea of ‘embodied cognition’ as a primary driver and landscape languages as elements for an intervention at Edgars Creek? Can ‘organism-environment’ interaction function not only as a main programme, but also as a catalyst point to initiate an iterative process of users modifying landscape autonomously? How does user-created landscape modification enhance social connection and influence personal and cultural transformation? Additionally, what impact does this process have on local culture in a broader sense, having created a landscape maintenance regime that is between autonomy and traditional management structures?

’The key issue in any Phenomenological approach is the manner in which people experience and understand the world. Phenomenology involves the understanding and description of things as they are experienced by a subject. It is about the relationship between being and being-in-the-world.‘ Christopher Tilley

'It is true that many of the cognitions of which we are consciously aware are indeed linguistically framed, including that ongoing monologue inside our heads. But now we know that many, many more of our cognitions are not verbal. And sometimes they even precede the words we conjure up to describe them.' Sarah Williams Goldhagen

-Path type: A desire path on a generally flat lawn area Phenomenon: generally clear boundary, narrow, newly created, fresh grass on it Why:The left side path is recently flooded and the pedestrian chose to make a detour on its right side.
-Path type: A desire path on a gentle sloped, lawn area at the creek bank. Phenomenon: very clear boundary, narrow, moderate moisture, compact soil. Why: Water level measuring stick at the distance, this area could be seasonally flooded, but the flood water is possibly not overflow the path.
-Path type: A path goes through a woodland with a smaller desire path that accesses to the creek. Phenomenon: compact soil with moderate moisture Why: The smaller desire path indicates that where the visitors want to go and play.
-Path type: Stepping stones and river cliff at the sides of creek. Phenomenon: shallow soil, exposed tree roots, serious erosion fuzzy boundary Why: Erosion at the river cliff due to the rise of water level in flooding time. Also, it receives the erosion from passing pedestrian.
-Path type: Grassy path on a river cliff Phenomenon: Compact soil, medium width, clear boundary Why: Because of the aspect and the traffic. Heavy traffics make the soil on the path more and more compacted. Direct sunlight evaporates the moisture on the path surface,
-Path type: Path on a slope near the bank Phenomenon: Narrow, gentle slope, very clear boundary Why: Visitors access the creek via this path. The portion where the path located is a relatively gentle-slope area, which allow pedestrians to pass.
-Path type: Path on a gentle slope in woodland, with different shapes and textures. Phenomenon: Soil is dry with light yellow colour, slowly getting darker at the shadowing portion. narrow, very clear boundary, bike tyre marks, Why: The surrounding conditions vary along the path. Changing conditions lead to different shapes and soil types on different portions of the path. The dry parts of the path tend to keep a clear boundary and narrow width; the damp parts are more wide, and the boundary got blurred,because pedestrians are more willing to walk on the dry path, in avoid of getting their shoes dirty and wet.Then they chose to walk on those dry areas on the sides of original path.
-Path type: A path in a woodland. Phenomenon: generous shadowing, wet soil, fuzzy boundary, temporary pavement, fresh grass. Why: Someone used branches to pave a damp muddy area of the path. It could be an essential desire path and people have to take this path to access

-Path type: A path across a grassland. Phenomenon: Compact soil, narrow, very clear boundary. Why: Dense vegetation stop the pedestrians to go other areas. Good photo spot on this path to get an overall view of the creek.
-Path type: Path on a steep slope Phenomenon: fuzzy boundary, serious erosion on its surface, wet soil, scouring signs can be seen, high evaporation rates Why: This path has been experiencing regular scouring, which has caused serious erosion on its surface. Sparse vegetation gave less protection to the soil from erosion.
-Path type: A path across a grassland. Phenomenon: Compact soil, narrow, very clear boundary. Why: Dense vegetation stop the pedestrians to go other areas. Good photo spot on this path to get an overall view of the creek.
-Path type: Earthen path on an up-going area Phenomenon: dry, yellowish and compact soil, clear boundary, wide width. Why: A house can be seen at the distance, showing it is one of the main paths. The wide width is because of the dense traffic and erosion on both sides.
Notes -Topography: landform, slope steepness, -Soil condition: wet or dry? Muddy or compact? -Vegetation: Surrounding vegetation types: ground-covers? Shrublands? Forests? -Environmental experiences: High point? Low point? Opened or closed area? Different moods and feeling will be obtaining in different environments, thus different movements and activities would be implemented by users in those various places Environmental factors: -topography: landform, slope steepness, -Soil condition: wet or dry? Muddy or compact? -Vegetation: Surrounding vegetation types: ground-covers? Shrubs? Or Forests -Environmental experiences: High point? Low point? Open or closed areas? Different moods and feeling people will have in different environments, thus different movements and activities would be implemented by users in those various places Eg: On a small piece of area at hight point, RATHER THAN walking around dramatically, you will be moving constrainedly; However, at an open, flat area, you will feel more chill, relax and safe to walk around, more path would be created and fuzzier the boundary is. Social factors: -Programmes, activities: a valued landscape objects would attract people to visit and paths would be created consequently. -Social distancing: people are obeying social distancing in the park, thus more paths are created during the locked time in those open areas because people are avoiding walking on the same path with each other. -Draw in advantages and avoid disadvantages: Avoiding damp, muddy, and dangerous areas. -Shortcuts -Conformity -Personal invests and pragmatic purposes -Humanity: randomness, disorderliness, chaos, messiness.. are embedded in our humanity. 6

Environmental experiences Express feelings & emotions
The function of Environmental Paths is not just about transits. The path itself could extend unlimitedly until its extent is intersected with other spaces.
45%
The Environmental Paths have various widths may have clear to fuzzy boundaries, depending on the surrounding topography and vegetation types.
Environmental Paths affect the individuals to shape paths directly or indirectly.
Initiatives Create your own path
It is also a reflection of how people try their best to seek connections and interactions with the external environment. Individuals start to manipulate the path for both pragmatic and aesthetic purposes.
5%
Users are not just satisfied of simply being a receiver, or converter, at a higher level, individuals subconsciously get themselves involved in the remolding process of landscape objects, they are acting as a contributor or an architect.
Users are acting as a converter, they process those feelings that they gained from the external environment, and convert feelings to their movements, actions, and behaviors, which are the causes of the creation and expansion of Environmental Paths.
A more positive aspect for Initiative paths is that users connect with the path physically and emotionally, which is something people are actively seeking on the virtual world, such as via social apps and online games, the same reason in which people love to post the photos of landscapes on social apps, is that they want people to feel how they feet, they want a sense of connection. The Initiative Paths differ from the surrounding environment and its materials could be various depending on adjacent resources.

how dynamic can that landscape be? What patterns can be shaped in the future?

A COLLABORATIVE PUBLIC SPACE thank you for your lovely, well-paved path.
Rather than simply using and viewing the
landscape, people are more willing to seek
connections with each other and the environment. It is worth to design the site as a ‘catalyst’ to allow and encourage these connections to happen.
Furthermore, it is critical to encourage people
how to ‘read’ and understand the landscape, and help people to communicate with each other
with landscape languages rather than linguistic languages.

'By approaching a cognitive model of landscape architecture, it is possible to hack into conceptual structure by exploiting physical environments such that landscapes evoke a response that mimics spatial remoteness. This process renders landscape architectures as conceptually relevant to human cognition and our sensory-emotional systems.' Ryan Dewey
THE UNDULANCE The undulance is the core element in this
design and it is also the main programme of the new Edgars Creek Park. The idea of the creation of the undulance is to
design it not just as a main programme
for people using and experiencing in this
park, but also an ecological catalyst point to accelerate the ecological succession process by taking advantage of the
extremely diverse conditions within the undulance.
