: trade line :fish species distribution : exclusive economic zone : fishing zone

disputed islands South China Sea area is characteised by the heavy trading ships traffic and overfishing .

It is also problematiques of how people don’t have control over fishing method which terribly lead to the use of explosive fishing and destroying the coral reef of which the fish live in.

Areas classified as threatened by destructive fishing pratices are based upona 20-kilometer radius zone known occurances of dynamite or cynide fishing as found in ReefBase (ICLARM, 1997) and were revised based upon expert opinion.

OVERFISHING CONTROL

Today, fishery industry have about 200 millions people and exploits all over international waters. The achievement of the Millennium Development Goal (MDG) eradicate that hunger will partly dependent on the ability of the fisheries and their ecosystems to supply animal protein to the populations of most developing countries. However, there is widespread concern over sustainability of the fisheries.

old way of fishing our fishing methods remains unchanged for hundreds of years:boat, net and sail

EXCESSIVE BY-CATCH AND DISCARD

Traffic jam on the ocean number of boat keep increasing drainingour resource an polutate the water

Destructive fishing practices degrade aquatic habitats

OVER EXPLOITATION fish and other living resources are caught at a rate which exceeds the maximum harvest that allows the population to be maintained by reproduction

Decreased viability and biodiversity impacts of aquaculture Bacterial or viral diseases can spread from aquaculture stocks and decrease the viability of wild commercial stocks

STEP 1 TRACKING

Corporation of fish and human We needed a solution to the overfishing problem. By proposing a systems and network of buoy on the site and install them on fishing boat, we can track estimated location and distribution of current many species of fishes.

Then move on to the next step we will create a habitat for those fish s. The project aim for the beauty of the systems , structure and how it stimulate Geo-spatial political power of fisherman and the fish.

THE MOTHER/FINAL STEP This a plankton research facility that nurse KEY species and then feed the surrounding feed by releasing them to the water body. The structure works like a WEB of spring damper. It breathes out CO2 and take in water to sink and take in sample plankton in process. At the end of processing, it release these plankton to feed the fish.

13

Projection of the future

The facilities are set in a way that use current to energized the systems by using wave-electric-generation technologies.

By the time it is used for the public, new unique territory will be created for the the demand in ocean research an revitalized ocean floor as well as awareness and attraction for surrounding countries.

Grattan St

Lincoln Square

Located right next to Melbourne University and near some of the rather lacking urban parks in Melbourne. At the present the site is a relaxing lawn for nearby residents and students with a few emerging activities by students and clubs. The site feel separation, the dense tree canopy and trunks often divide and therefore cut up the continuity of the space. It feels protected yet squeeze every bit of air into our skin. The trees choices rather scary and unfriendly yet left hurried atmosphere to the users.

The light is indeed soft and pleasing under trees and walking in the pathway is such a pleasure but the exposed concrete entry fend off anyone who want to stay, they often hide under the sitting of those dying trees with concrete seats.

SITE ANALYSIS/MAPPING

Light has tranformative quality. Here in this site, lighting greatly differs from day to night, bring out various quality to the site : lighting in the morning create area of rest and navigate while they become the safe spots at night.

18

Initial testing and design process

To corporate light into design of the site, i have been through various way of testing how light interact with different element: human scale, elevation, time of day, season, shapes and size of objects....

Toward paradise by Gustafson Porter (2008) Commissioned by 11th Venice Architecture Biennale in Italy, the designer is asked not just to nourish the body, but nourish the soul too. In this nunnery’s overgrown vegetation site, former Church of the Virgins, the question is how to create a pop-up site-responsive installation to help us cultivate our souls. This challenge the convention of landscape architecture by many means. Firstly, the design is intended for something that now physical and cannot be grasped by the mean of words and something that will not stay there for a life time. “Architecture is not building… (It) is something else”. In this landscape, we find a journey not through space but ideas, a tale, a voyage of awareness and discovery. The design completely change the face of this brambled environment which is untouched for a long time and turn it into something magical and enlightening. It did not just keep the historical state of the site but helped it stand out even more by giving the ruin its meaning: bodily and soulfully. Even more, this is a great example of how landscape architecture should be (?), engaging and people-oriented. It should link the building (human) to the ephemeral landscape (nature).

GARDEN ROOM Entering the pergola we see the stone pizza oven featured to our left and the view to the apple grove, just one of the groves in the bosquet, framed to our right. At night, the garden room is transformed, warm glowing vintage glass chandeliers hanging down the centre of the pergola either side gently illuminate the long timber trestle tables and chairs. By day light is filtered through the canopy of dense and cool green canopy, shading guests from the summer sun.

A hint of splendour combines with the comfort of rustic old world charm to provide the perfect place to unwind in.

Through the ‘windows’ of the oak ber posts we can see the simple panse of the formal garden to south and the brilliant colours of lush new garden to the north.

THE EXPERIENCE OF THE GARDEN Venturing through the garden room, past the antique terracotta planters spilling over with herbs we arrive in the beautiful garden.

Here we find ourselves in another world- a magnificent royal empress tree stands in the center, a canopy of brilliant violet flowers creating a dappled light on the v ground.

Inspired by traditional French parterres, raised planting boxes framed by gravel paths alongside the pergola are bounteous with sumptuously ripe vegetables and juicy berries that can be fresh picked straight to the table for pizza and tart making.

An olive field separates the main entertaining area from the pretty cottage in the distance. Lavender underplanting creates a sea of blue beneath the olive laden trees. Asymmetric planting suggests the warmth and unrestrained nature of the southern country side.

Beyond the veggie beds stands an impressive fig tree, rustic oak benches circle beneath and vintage iron French chairs and a table rest in the shade. We pick figs from the tree and cut them to cook and caramelise on our pizzas.

The impressive pizza oven offers a broad timber 360 degree bench on which we can prepare our pizzas and chat with the guests in the pergola.

An undulating hidden path winds off through the lavender to the cottage beyond.
