[01] BATTLEFIELD
The Revitalization of the Hudong Zhonghua Shipyard
Location: Fuxing Island, Yangpu, Shanghai, China Type: Research(with Ziyao Wang), Site Design(Individual) Internship: SWA Summer Student Program 2021 Date: 07.2021 - 08.2021 Link to Articles: https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/Ip5ajhKkipncb-Nm4YjXQw https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/Spyoy75xroULLjWU0zDHAg
The old shipyard has made lots of warships since established as a national enterprise on the Fuxing Island in 1926 when most of Shanghai were still foreign settlements. The big idea of the "Battlefield" is for current generation to inherit the spirit of revival - Fuxing Spirit in the battles left by the revolutionary predecessors in the 20th century. The “battles” in the 21st century are redefined and categorized into athletics and technological battling programs in the "Battlefield".
BATTLEFIELD | Karting Center
The new planning of the shipyard highlights the motion of battling by colors, textures, a new linear direction pointing towards the other part of the shipyard across from the river, and vertical experience on the facilities and skywalks. The spirit of revival in “battles” are continued within the four major programs: “Trampoline Ring”, “ Exploration Dock”, “Karting Center”, and “H-Tech Dock”. 5

Yangpu District is known for the early developmen of industries in Shangha city. A large area of Yanp district in Shanghai City used to be international settlement from 1847 to 1942. However, Fuxing Island was not part of it. All the enterprises on the island were invested by Chinese businessman and government only.

Huangpu River, Shanghai | Industrial Riverfront Transformation There were numerous old manufacture industries along the Huangpu river in Shanghai City, most of which has been transformed into art, commercial, and technological industries. Yangpu District is now technological, university and tourism zone, so students and young entrepreneurs as well as tourists and residents will be the main users. The main challenge of the project is how to differentiate the future planning of Fuxing Island from the already successful transformations?he island.

Zhonghua shipyard, built by a Chinese businessman, Yang Junsheng in 1926 on the island, merged with Hudong Shipyard into one later in 2001. Most ships were built for military defense. The story of Yang Junsheng's fighting and negotiating with the enemies to keep and revive his shipyard demonstrates the "Fuxing" Spirit - spirit of revival, to younger generation.

[02] BISON NATION
The Rebuild of the Great Bison Belt in the U.S.-Canada Borderlands
Location: U.S. - Canada Borderlands Type: Group(with Hongfei Zuo) Course: MLA Studio #4 - Borderhood/Advanced Studio Instructor: Sonny Xu(Meng Qi Xu) Date: 09.2021-12.2021
Bison once roamed on the Great Plains of the North American continent with the number of 60 Million. After conquering the North American land, human settlers slaughtered bison by constructing railroads, hunting and trading, and changing the wild life habitat into farmland. The bison dramatically decreased and once became an endangered species. In the 20th century, with the help of private herds and conservations, the number started to increase. Based on the current location of the bison reserves scattering in the U.S. and Canada, the project intends to recover the number of Wild Bison and retrieve the land owned by bison long time ago. There are three phases of the network building process, starting from adding points, then connecting the points by corridors, and finally constructing a Bison Nation to rebuild the great bison belt. In the Bison Nation, the original U.S. Canada border is blurred by the new reserves and corridors. When reaching the final phase, human could also benefit from the refreshed eco-systems as the economy and culture related to bison would thrive as well.

BISON HISTORY | SLAUGHTER AND PRESERVATION
U.S. and Canada | Bison and Agriculture Flows Since the 20th century, with the help of private herds and reserves, the number started to increase. Then in 21st century, several initiatives were agreed by first nations and native people to protect the bison. However, the agricultural development and the border are inhibiting wild bison's migration.

Bison once roamed on the Great Plains of the North American continent with the number of 60 Million. But after European settlers conquering the North American land, the number of bison started to decrease.

Site 3| Saskatchewan, Canada - Montana, U.S. 17
THE THREE PHASES OF THE BISON NATION
Phase 1 - Points/ Reserves | Bison and Collaborative Agriculture
18
The first phase is to identify new habitats as reservation points to increase the number of wild bison. In this phase the design strategy is to mainly focus on landuse transformation and collaborative agriculture with seasonally rotational grazing method. Bison habitats(points) are selected according to landuse, slope, water, and vegetation.
BISON NATION | Three Phases Development Phase 1 - Points/ Reserves
Detailed Design Site Phase 2 - Corridors
Phase 3 - Great Bison Belt
Phase 2 - Corridors | Corridor Types The second phase connects the points with corridors for easier migration, applying new technologies. There are three types of corridors in general: migration corridor with rest stations for supplies, bison checkpoint for disease control, and bison and human shared crossings on the border. Most of the fences and doors are automated, therefore the management of different flows are satisfied by opening and closing the fences.

2. Bison Checkpoints (Disease Control)
3.Migration Corridor/ Rest Station 19
Phase 2 - Corridors | Bison Ranch Study (Disease Control)

The last phase is recovering the belt. Bison culture will be further developed during this stage and ecology will be improved in the territorial scale. Tourism will be the major industry for economic development while other wildlife like wolves will be reintroduced in this phase. 23
[03] LOOP OVER THE VALLEY
Reconnecting the Neighborhoods Segregated by Highway(Route 6-10 Connector)
Location: Route 6-10 Connector, Providence, Rhode Island, U.S. Type: Urban Planning(with Weirong Luo and Zitong Hui), Site Design(Individual) Course: MLA Studio #3 - Urban System Studio Instructor: Suzanne Mathew Date: 02.2021 - 05.2021
Many Hispanics from impoverished areas migrated to the U.S. to seek jobs and wealth at the end of the 19th century when cities like Providence developed industries rapidly. Then, the redlining and HOLC maps in the 1930s marked the beginning of the governmental-instituted segregation. The urban renewal projects in the 20th century sought to free up land for more industrial uses and new highways, displacing thousands of Providence city's low-income non-white and poor residents. The neighborhoods near the Route 6-10 connector in Providence where many Hispanics reside are examples of legal segregation and racial discrimination towards the non-white communities. Therefore, the urban project, "Loop over the Valley", intends to leverage the potential focal points along the highway and river to create a loop system to reconnect the neighborhoods separated and segregated by the Route 6-10 connector. The newly-developed attractors will be provided new commercial, recreational, cultural, educational, and ecological functions, providing residents and visitors with a comprehensive and orientational visual and spatial experience. 24

Contour Plan
Historical Evolution and Local Impact of the Route 6-10 Connector The reason why the population goes down in Providence is closely related to the construction of the highway. Typical of Eisenhower-era highway systems. Providence's governmental approach benefits longdistance commuters at the expense of the residents who bear the brunt of living near the route, which was an antiquated, suburbs-first philosophy. The highway contributes to environmental issues like the contaminated base soil and air pollution and infrastructure and social problems. For half a century, the Route 6-10 connector has seriously impacted West End and Federal Hill and contributed to the downfall of a commercial district in Olneyville, which is now a poor Hispanic neighborhood. The neighborhoods are seperated now.

Providence | Institutional Segregation and Neighborhood Diversity
Even though some neighborhoods suffer from poverty, their cultures are vibrant, and the entire city benefits from this diversity. All the communities next to the Route 6-10 connector have many Hispanics people coming from different backgrounds. 28
Route 6-10 Connector | Neighborhood Palette
The color palette of the diverse neighborhoods near the Route 6-10 connector mainly consist of red, orange, yellow, and blue.The future site designs will use the same materials and formal language from the neighborhood so that pedestrians will immerse in this consistent loop system.

Loop System Planning The Route 6-10 connector is disturbing the urban fabric like a valley without vegetation. The construction of wide roads and the civic arena created a swath of uninhabited territory, a buffer zone, thus achieving a separation between downtown and the ghetto. The new loop system over the valley includes existing and new focal points with different functions, reconnecting the neighborhoods nearby. Due to the elevation differences, the connection would be both visual and physical. 31
32
LOOP OVER THE VALLEY | Site 3: Gathering
The site was once a center of multiple highways. Now with the capping technique, it will transform into a welcoming and gathering plaza for all neighborhoods nearby, and become a new focal point connecting the loop system. The color and patterns of the pavings are extracted from the neighborhoods. So the materials will be collages of the diverse cultures in the communities.

[04] REGENERATIVE PARK
Phytoremediation and Sustainable Design on Riverfront Brownfield
Location: Phillipsdale Historic District, East Providence, Rhode Island, U.S. Type: Group(with Chenfang Gang) Course: MLA Studio #2 - SED Studio Instructor: Johanna Barthmaier-Payne Date: 02.2020 - 05.2020
Phillipsdale Historic District is a historic mill village along the Seekonk river. Most of the mills has moved away but the metal contaminants are left in the soil. Our major concept is to build a Regenerative Park utilizing the phytoremediation process of plants as the core of the system to deal with existing pollutants produced by the previous industry. And with the SLR skywalk and biochar production, the site would become a multifunctional park offering various engaging experiences to the nearby neighborhood.

[05] BACK TO STREET
21st Century Urban Street Culture in Providence Downtown
Location: Providence, Rhode Island, U.S. Type: Urban Planning(with Leigh Miller and Yingying Wang), Site Design(Individual) Course: MLA Studio #3 - Constructed Landscape Studio Instructor: Jacob Mitchell and Michael Blier Date: 09.2020 - 12.2020
Due to urban decay and I-95 highway construction in the downcity area, the population of Downtown Providence has been decreasing dramatically since the 1950s. There are few apartments but more offices, 90% empty parking lots, and vacant areas in the Downcity area of Providence, where the body-scale streets are in fact pedestrian-friendly. The "Back to Street" project restores the centrality of Downcity and inspires civic pride by leveraging the street culture in both 20th and 21st century with new programmatic experiences. By bridging the social and ecological void created by the former I-95 corridor which divorces Downcity from its surrounding neighborhoods, we will not let downtown Providence become the next victim of urban decay. 44

Providence Downtown | Current Street Culture and Proposal Sketches After COVID-19, people are dining outside more often than before, either in front of a restaurant or a food truck. And there are two scenes in Downcity I felt most touched. Young people are occupying alleys and plazas with their new street culture, like skateboarding and streetdancing. Moreover, there are many beautiful murals on the streets in the downcity area, which is also a typical street culture of providence.

[09] PUPLLAR (UI/UX) No.1 Collar for Your Furry Friend Location: None Type: Group(with Joy Ham) Course: UI/UX Design Instructor: Adam Smith Date: 01.2021 -02.2021 User Testing Link: https:// xd.adobe.com/view/5b114480808c-40a1-a314-4f2f6f3339ab0e42/?fullscreen&hints=off We are attempting to provide a daily-used pet app with physical collars for pets’ locating, health monitoring, and remotewalking system. Opposed to other apps or programs such as tracking chip, our app provides access for the owners to obtain the live data from the collars. Also, we are trying to respect the pets by freeing them from the leash as well as convenience for the owners with the collar simulating the leash pressure and directions.

[10] LANDSCAPE IN MOTION Structural System and Human Perception Location: RISD Farm, Rhode Island Type: Individual Course: MLA Studio #1 - Design Principles Instructor: Elizabeth Dean Hermann Date: 09.2019 -12.2019 We all know the landscape is changing constantly. What if landscape can move as time goes by? The project studies human's perception of spacial qualities and plays with soil and topography in the form of land art. As the tide comes and goes and sea level rises, the changes in water level will lead to the movement of phragmites and other salt-intolerant plants towards the new topography, just like writing a diary on the landscape.
