EDUCATION CENTER WETLAND CENTER MARINE DEUCATION
Alameda located on the island is the Naval Air Station Alameda, a defunct naval air station, as well as a small uninhabited part of San Francisco. The island was originally a peninsula and a part of Oakland, and is now separated from the mainland by the Oakland Estuary. As with many citie abandoned area. The Alameda is the victim of a dense hardscape of naval air station, parking lot, building and roads. The surface runoff and stormwater deposition has polluted the wetland and reduced the both vegetaland and aquatic diversity and abundance to a point that it’s no longer a desirable aspect of the Alameda. The strategy of the Alameda takes the shapes of dynamic plan by integrating wetlands systems with designated open spaces and protection space area for extinct species. COMMUNITY GARDEN PICNIC AREA

BIM RENDERING
Building information modeling This site is located on the finicial distirct. This architecture designed into the building which surrounded by curtain wall to make sure the enough nature lights for the readers in the interior area. BIM is is a efficient deisgn process and is nothing more than the collection of all building data organized into a structure database easy to query both in a “visual” and a “numerical” way.
