Mimsie Lanier Center for Native Plant Studies
Botanical Garden Landscape Design Sustainable and Educational Landscape Athens, GA
Introduction This project is situated in State Botanical Garden. The client asked us to build it into a botanical garden with native plants only, along with a new classroom building for students. I designed this proposed plan strictly according to the site conditions, trying to be less costly, at the same time, adding some ecological bioretentions and rain gardens to help deal with the stormwater.

Neighborhood Landscape Design
The Central Park Chaoyang, China
Introduction The site is located in northeast China, and the buildings in the neighborhood are in close proximity with each other, so there is less space for landscape in between. My role in this project is to design the central axis and to provide spaces for recreational activities and social activities. The aim is to motivate people to go out into Central Park to be in touch with nature and have social gatherings in the proposed open/ outdoor spaces.

Principle 3: Develop high density urban development
Individual work in LAND6030 course Date: Aug. 2013-Oct. 2013 Design tools: ArcGIS, Adobe Creative Suites
Principle 2: Revitalize and create recreational areas
This project proposed landuse plan is created through 3 steps: site inventory analysis, suitability analysis, and development of a land use plan. Throughout this process, 3 principles guided the analysis and design of the land use plan: Ecology (preservation), Economy (development), and Equity (recreation and community). The final land use plan aims to conserve ecologically valuable areas, improve water quality of the Chattahoochee River, increase economic viability of the corridor, and reconnect communities to each other as well as the Chattahoochee River.
Principle 3:Development Map
Principle 2: Recreation Map
Principle 1: Preservation Map
Centralize resources to utilize and balance development alongside nature, enhance the quality of life for people.
Create more recreation spaces to enjoy and embrace the river, in the meanwhile having easier access to recreational, historic and cultural areas.
Protect, conserve, and restore natural areas that will encourage biodiversity, maintain water quality, and unify fragmented habitats and ecosystems.
Process 3: Proposed Landuse Plan Composite Suitability Analysis Map
Proposed Landuse Plan
It has been acknowledged that the Chattahoochee River will always be considered an “urban river.� This suitability map is mainly focused on the development of this area. In the meanwhile, combining with the preservation and recreation function together to provide better quality life for people.
This land use plan combines the information from both the inventory and suitability analysis, to create suggestions for future planning in the ChattahoocheeNOW corridor.
