Student Housing Area Design / Connection Link

The project aims to rebuild, integrate the public space of dormitory zone in Sichuan Agricultural University. The purpose of the design is to change staircase into a part of outdoor courtyard, so as to make the crowded and blocking dormitory zone connect with more light, more air and more vegetation, to increase visual fun and change the previous impression of nerd.

College Students' daily life is rich and colorful, the area of public activity space is not enough, extracurricular activities are concentrated in dormitories, playgrounds, easily causing the crowds concentrated so that activities are limited.High frequency of infrastructure use will bring about infrastructure damage; school public space has not been fully utilized, there are also potential to be developed

Building density are moderate , it blocks the prevailing wind, and also cover some sunlight. In spring and autumn sunshine is the most adequate , supplying the entironment which is suitable for plant growing.I will apply the crop to design to create characteristic agricultural landscape.

Issues

Strategy

Hard pavement affect the infiltration of rainwater so that the road is easy to water.

Road surface is damaged

Inadequate ventilation and lighting

Various noise problem

Infrastructure is in short supply

Inadequate infrastructure, resulting in poor site landscape effects, visual effects clutter

Inspired by spike of rice connected by rice straw. In order to solve the current problems, remove some rooms to create some public space, and connect each other, forming a more convenient network and rich landscape structure.

Eco-landscape Landscape Installation Unobstructed Wind Environment Old

The corridor between the sides open, allowing more light, air, green interaction, the formation of new courtyard model, enhances the visual location, form a living landscape.In public space, adding plant community to beautify the environment and collect rain water may be an effective strategy to reduce seeper.

Water-front Design Landscape Revetment

May-Jul 2015

Area : 13447 m²

Water-front Design / Landscape Revetment

Design Brief

Site selection is located in an intertidal zone of the junction of Changjiang river and Tuo river with a total area of 13447m², right now, it face the problem of lacking of connection among city, river rapids, river, as well as the river erosion and rainstorm washing, which cause a poorer landscape effect. From the entry point that construct the connection of city and river, I make use of internal altitude difference in site and the site influence of natural factors, so as to reborn the life.

Design Process

Luzhou is well-know for “China wine city”, yeast of wine has the same energy exchange of outer world with plants, the design gains an inspiration from the growth history of wine yeast. The yeast starts meiosis under the advantageous condition and forms bulk appearance; and the yeast still can adopt germinal reproduction and form irregular bud under the disadvantageous condition; as the growth of cell, intercellular space is changing also, and forming into beautiful texture. Take the stereoplasm square and river rapids as the continuously-breathing yeast for growth, seek the most adaptable entire distribution during the course of its splitting and fusion, the “virtual space” form - intercellular space naturally becomes the best form of connecting dam.

Most elderly people will choose quiet resting area and relatively isolated grass slope as a place for activities

The middle-aged people tend to activities in recreational areas and ecological beaches.

Young people tend to move in recreational areas and reformed dam spaces.

The

Compared with the traditional dam, after the transformation of the dam in preserving the original protective structure, the square extends outwards and is connected with the beach, expand the area in the square, also produced new activities in space under embankment.

Disaster Prevention Ability

Dam Material Analysis

Bauhinia blakeana

Cercis glabra

In order to improve the resilience of the dam, I apply water resistant wet polymer materials to the design to ensure after the flflood the space under the dam still can be used by people

In Luzhou, more rain in summer , the water level increase, submerged part of the beach plant; with winter rain decreasing, the water level decrease, and the rough cobblestone embankment appeal.

The use of Chinese fir and polyurea ensure the effect of landscape,creating the warm and comfortable space. Before

Recorded flood water level in 30 years, most beach would be submerged, only emergent plants and fl floating plants can surface.Activities on hard square will not be restricted,the bridge can also become a tide of scenic spots

When the flood comes, the material on the dam surface completely prevents the infiltration of harmful medium and greatly prolongs the service life of the dam structure.

The disaster is coming

Recorded flood water level in 30 years,Beach is completely submerged, the space under the dam is not available, hard square and connecting bridge can still become a place for people to move.

After the flood, the space under the dam presents an original ecological landscape

Plant Name & Growth Rules

I introduced the rain garden, in order to adjust the surface runoff, increase air humidity, enhance the landscape effect, to create a good environment for the realization of "ecological revetment" concept.

Children Courtyard Design

0-1 years

After a year of growth, landscape community initially formed, but has not yet formed a complete ecosystem.

Ecological Playground

Aug-Sep 2014

Area : 4800m²

2-4 years

The scale of landscape community is coarse, the purification and absorption capacity of rainwater is enhanced, the ecosystem is more perfect, and attracts the butterflies, dragonflies and other organisms.`

5-10 years

The landscape community formed three layers: high, medium and low, which had good purifying effect on water. The ecosystem tended to perfect and gradually showed biodiversity

Children Courtyard Design /Ecological Playground

Location Design Brief

SOS children village pattern consists of four parts ,they are SOS mothers ,brothers and sisters, family homes and villages. Each family has 6 to 8 orphans .The goal of the project is to build ecological children's space in the courtyard that is extended by children village ,and deal with the relationship between interior of the yard and outside world well. I take the children's needs and securities as the starting point, starting from the Children's insights, letting the children get close to nature among it.Communicate with the outside world under the premise of ensuring safety, and create interesting channels.

Site Analysis

0-4 years old children with limited activity, in the phase studying to move, behavioral activities rely on parents; 5-9 years old children like independent and diverse activities; 10-14 years old children with strong activity, prefer challenging, constructive activities

Conflict

As the children grow up,the world in their eyes is changing,and their paintings can reflect their perception of the world.Extract the elements of landscape from their paintings full of color and imagination,then combine them and change ,letting imagination and hope into reality,so create a space of fairy tales close to nature.In addition,breaking the rigid bounding wall,and enclose a semiopen space with micro topography, wooden fence and glass door that can be raised and lowered,not only to ensure safety, but also to achieve the connection of inside and outside the courtyard.

The children's activities are mostly concentrated in the afternoon and evening.The time spent outdoors in summer is more than that in winter.

The main contradiction within the site is the children eager to get close to nature, eager to contact with the outside world, there are more types of activities; management is considering the safety of the children, and plans to design a fully enclosed courtyard, placing several traditional, monotonous and safe game facilities.

I try to design a liftable glass wall to guarantee safety,that connects the yard with the outside. It would be an entrance when it is flush with the ground.when the wall is adjusted to 1.2m height,people outside can communicate with the insides, but they can not pass. When it's rised to 2m, the space was divited into two parts completely by the wall, the different parts have a relationship with each other.
