Wuhan Dongxihu District Urban Agriculture Demonstration Region (Phase I) Internship Project-The Conceptual Planning Design Location: Wuhan, China, 05,2014-08,2014 Design Team: Zhaohui Liu, Tian Wu, Shouqin Wang, Suwei Tang, Zhe Ma Wuhan Dongxihu District Urban Agriculture Demonstration Region is located in the northern part of China. Based on site analysis, the two major elements for design concept were ecology and Eco-Agriculture. Phase I of the project design focused mainly on creating one central community center building and seven theme parks to attract more tourists to v visit the city. For this project, I participated in the Phase I design process under the team leader Professor Kongjian Yu and Jun Zhu. I finished most of the site analysis, road sections, system diagrams and couple renderings with my colleagues.

Topo City Location: Cedars District, Dallas 07.2015 SWA Grouop Internship Project-The Conceptual Design 22nd Century City The goal of this project is provide solutions to issues of revitalization and to propose catalytic ideas that promote sustainable development idea, although hypothetical, that may be translatable to other North American cities. In the 22nd century, the increasing population and the greater consumption of the limited natural resources will threaten our current way of life. A Modern City can be thought of as a gigantic creature. It is expected that urban dwellers will need to be more self-sufficient in the future. Specifically, the Cedars District is cut off from the rest of the city and the city is cut off from the river. My project proposes to connect the Cedars to the city and river. The core concept of this development is to use green energy, natural systems (primarily rainwater harvesting) and human living demands. My goal was to generate a form that would create a diverse topography that would function to reuse collected water, and to facilitate energy and food production. I derived my form from a mountain range because this offered an undulating topography that is currently missing from Dallas. In cre ating this artificial topography, I am seeking to redefine how we view landscape architecture in 22nd century.

Sulphur Dell Market District incorporates thriving new corridors connecting the riverfront, the Market District core, downtown, and the neighborhoods beyond. Sounds Street is the most prominent of these new corridors. Anchored by the Nashville Farmers’ Market at its western origin, the Street provides an essential path from the Hope Gardens neighborhood, past Sounds Stadium, to a new food market and Riverfront Park in the east. The Street encourages great exchange between the underutilized Bicentennial Park and planned state museum and library, and the commercial and residential development comprising the heart of the SDMD. With exceptions made for food-vendor trucks, Sounds Street has been designed as a pedestrian promenade, ideal for block parties, live-music events, and large crowds on game days.

Griggs Bathhouse Ohio 11,2014-12, 2014 Instructor: Jake Boswell, Katherine Bennett Sustainable Urbanism Design Team: Tian Wu, Shellie Miqbel, Kaitlyn Heskett The purpose of this project was to utilize water as a design agent. Our task throughout the semester was to study water properties, water machines, Columbus city pools, choose a site, and design. The most challenging portion of this task proved to be designing the pools. Currently, Columbus features a variety of public pools, most of which are outdoors and one indoor. Our chosen site was the Griggs Reservoir. Our design focused on a diverse range of water programs not represented in Columbus. The design of our site was composed of three main areas—one above the dam, at the spine of the dam, and below the dam. This site is a space which allows visitors to experience a different swimming environment in Columbus. From the spine of the dam, a bath house was constructed. Columbus does not provide an indoor bath house, allowing the dam to suffice for this lacking amenity. The building offers a variety of pools varying in temperature and size. This plan features water machines influencing the footprint of the building, allowing visitors to experience an artificial waterfall as they venture through the building. There are large water intakes filtering water through a series of sand filters and aeration spouts. The pools are heated by heat coils and generators to minimize costs of electric resources. Excess heat and steam from inside the bath house is moved through pipes to heat the arrival plaza in cold weather. This excess steam is also used to provide water mist on the plaza in hot weather. For this project, I worked throughout the whole design process and finished most drawing, including the sections renderings, Rihno 3D model and collaboration with my teammates of the site model.

Ecological Diagram Extruding from the bath house on the upper level of the dam is a floating pool and a floating dock. These spaces allow for different swimming experiences. People can relax in the main pool and grab a drink from the swim up bar or they could venture off to the furthest swim area to swim laps and dive from the diving docks. Connected to the floating dock is a boat dock. This space is for small boats, such as canoes, kayaks, and row boats. This works great because there is a row team Site 3D Model frequently practices at Griggs Reservoir.

This section shows the elevation change through the bathhouse and floating pool. The section features a floating bath with an iternal sand beach. The upper structure rests on the part of thefirst floor with metal tubes. The no swimming zone is divided by the diving deck, which creates the safe swimming area.
I heard that they aerate the water from the reservoir so it doesn’t smell weird, and that it actually powers this entire thing! B
This section shows the elevation going through the bathhouse. There is a filter water pond on top of the east wing of the bathhouse, which provides cleaner water for the swimming pool.

Hm... you know, it’s alright. Honey, do you like the exhibition here?
Darling, do you want to watch the outdoor moive on the beach tonight? Honey, can you understand the sqwaking without subtitles?
To vamp up Columbus Parks we have introduced a highly programmed walking trail on the lower part of the dam. There will be wetlands, raised walkways, an ice skating rink, an outlook and fishing dock, and connection to an island. The island will have a sand beach with a directed view to a water wall (the dam). The water wall is designed to help with cleaning the water through aeration. This is achieved by constructing a new dam façade that protrudes outward allowing water to fall at a different angle and capture air as it falls. This is different from the current conditions, because water falling on the dam’s smooth façade does not provide this. The new façade will have a water screen for showing movies on special nights.

DMZ, From Tragedy Towards Hope Yangji-ri Art Village Planning Location: Yangji-ri,Cheorwon, South Korea 08.2013 Instructor: Young Min Kim, Sang Hoon Lee Design Team: Sangmin Lee, Tian Wu, Thanapun Herunroj This project was done within a 10-day International workshop on Urban Landscape at the University of Seoul. Our site, Yangji-ri, is one of a few villages located on the northern outskirts of the Civilian Control Zone. As a hometown of 79 families, Yangji-ri is nicknamed the “Village of migration birds.� During winter, the reservoir next to the village becomes a habitat for over 10,000 birds. The village is so close to North Korea that it was designated as a Civilian Control Area and controlled by the government and army. It has special building structures designed for propaganda which face the North. Another special characteristic of the site is the Real DMZ project. The contemporary art exhibition was held in a boarder area of Cheorwon. The exhibition includes 11 contemporary artists who offered their own viewpoints on the divided reality of the Korean Peninsula. Our design team mainly focused on re-imaging the DMZ through art and ecological tourism, based on the special characteristics of the site. The goal for our team was to create a vibrant art festival for the community which not only attracts artists, but also tourists from around the world. Relying on the needs of various people, my teammates and I proposed a master plan to cover these needs. I worked throughout the whole design process and finished a majority of drawing with some collaboration with my teammates.

Intensification of The Grid Wexner Center Plaza-Design in Detail Franklinton, Ohio 04,2014 Instructor: Karla Trott Design Team: Tian Wu, Shellie Miqbel, Pei Wang & Aminata Seck The design concept for the project was to intensify the campus and the city grid already existing on the site. The design also takes into consideration Peter Eisman’s design concept for the Wexner Center, where he was establishing the distinction between the past, present and future. Our design encourages people to enter the site and explore the unique circulation. The site incorporates the grids into the programming of the space, which will encourage cultural and social interconnections. For this project, I worked throughout the design process and finished the study model. The majority of drawing, including the section and detail documentation,was completed with my teammates.

Angular Fragments 3rd Annual KSA FASHION SCHAU 01. 2014
Designer: Tian Wu Stylist & Makeup: Tian Wu Model: Maggie Yin The concept for the Schau (German for “show�) stemmed from the Bauhaus costume designs and Beaux Arts Balls of the early twentieth century. Similar to those events, SERVitecture created the Schau around the idea of rethinking fashion architecturally. At the KSA, students are constantly experimenting with new and interesting materials, as well as repurposing everyday objects in their design projects. Student designers were asked to creatively incorporate the theme centered around the silhouette in comparison to the designs overall expressive form. When I heard the topic of the Fashion Schau was silhouette, I decided to play up the curves of the body. As people know, a landscape architect is the designer of the earth, as a clothes designer is the designer of the body. There are two pieces and they mimic the angle of the body. The waist is the thinnest part so I made the design exaggerate the idea. For this Fashion Schau I got the second prize. Photograpgy of Model
