4. MANIFESTO: TANGIBLE AND INTEGRATED INTERFACE FOR COMMUNITY MEETING
Final Project for 11.333 Urban Design Seminar 2015 Advisor: Dr. Jota Samper; Collaborate: Hongru CAI; Contribution: the concept, diagrams and collages
This project envision an data augmented approach for a community meeting for Sea Level Rise Adaptation Plan happens in Boston in the year of 2030. Data augmented approaches incorporate data aimed communication, design and feedback loop in the community meeting, to bridge the gap between policy makers, designers, and residences from the community. The fundamental question is to assert that, thanks the real time sensor data, urban environment today is actually as the carrier of data. Thus design process becomes the process of curating data. The goal of this approach is similar as what Prof. Eran Ben-Joseph described in 2001: TheWhat role Technology? of these tools in fostering communication and collaboration, along with pluralistic planning and design processes, is one of the most important benefits offered by this new technology.

BIG DATA VISUALIZATION & SOCIETY EXHIBITION | TWEETS DENSITY OF PRAYER AND CONGESTION Curator: Prof. Sarah Williams, Carlos Sandoval Olascoaga; Contribution: Coding, Data Analysis, Visualization, Graphic Design
Tweets data in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia from Oct to Dec 2015 were scraped by the Twitter API and then were categorized to ‘Prayer‘ ‘Traffic‘ and other categories by identifying each tags, contents, and key words. Analysis of the data showed that conversation about traffic and prayer occur more than average and Twitter users do use social media to complain about the poor congestion issues.

Final Project for 11.947 Big Data Visualization & Society Advisor: Prof. Sarah Williams, TA: Carlos Sandoval Olascoaga, Mike Forster; Collaborate: Xu ZHANG; Contribution: Python NetworkX caculation, HTML interaction, Prototype Riyadh GO is a comprehensive visualization of your real-world travelling cost in terms of Money and Time from Riyadh hotspots. You can easily explore how far can you travel by Uber within 30 minutes and 50 SAD (local currency). Special thanks to technical supports from Civic Data Design Lab, especially Prof. Sarah Williams, TA Carlos and Mike. Without them, the website and service cannot be fully realized. 1. DATA SOURCE Foursquare checkin data of Riyadh are visualized as node size and heat gradient to define the hotspots. Riyadh transportation OD analysis data and congession simulation data from MIT HuMNet LAB are deployed to visualize the real time cost. Uber cost estimate algorithm is deployed to assess the comprehensive real-world cost of Money, which is a combination of time and distance. 2. UBER COST ESTIMATION

2.2 ROAD DENSITY & POPULATION FROM METRO
The scope of research has three scales, with the stadium as the anchor point, and with radius of 3KM, 2KM and 1KM. In the large scale, it proposes a network of pedestrian. In the median scale, it focuses on connecting metro stations with the site. In the smale scale, it deploys the flows to define zones for various functions.
The proposal also looks at the inner pathways in the super blocks surround the site. It simulates the shortest paths for pedestrian and runners within the super blocks, which is a reflection of the newly published policy of “Open the gated communities“.
2.3 LARGE SCALE NETWORK The width and color visualizes the frequency of paths occupied by citizens moving from neighborhoods, statios, parks to the site.

2015/10-12, Solo studio work @MIT, Contribution: All Advisor: Prof. Adele Santos, Prof. Alan Berger, Fadi. What if the low land and existing waterbody are connected into a corridor to sustain the floods? What if the hydraulic infrastructures and sidewalks are embedded with the corridor? What if new urban development and neighborhoods are embedded with the corridor? Facing the urgent challenge of sea water level rising, Loxahatchee Groves is encountering a transition at which it needs more ecological, more hydro-graphical and more impact development. The site is relative low and surrounded by high impervious rate neighborhoods. It becomes a humid breeding ground for agriculture, aquaculture and neighborhoods. The nature of this land suggests a new mode of development to intervene urban fabric with hydrographic, wetland reserve, aquaculture and agriculture. AXON | SEA LEVEL RISE SCENARIO

MINSHENG FOOD WHARF
VISUAL MANIFESTO Yangpu Bridge
PRODUCTIVE AND RESILIENT REGENERATION OF FOOD DOCK
2016/05-06, Beijing Studio @MIT, Advisor: Prof.Dennis Frenchman, Dr.Jota, Prof.Jie ZHANG Contribution: Model, Masterplan, Renders Teammate: Pamela Bellavita, Grisha Enikolopov, Sera Tolgay, Nan Xie, Xiangya Xie The proposal envisions Minsheng Wharf as an anchor institution that will integrate the research, production, experience and culture of food. New ways of producing food, such as indoor hydroponic farming, allow for compact production in climate-controlled environments, with low water requirements and without pesticides. Operating at the water-energy-food nexus, our closed loop system will lower the footprint of food production and create jobs that draw from different disciplines and skills. By integrating agricultural and biotechnology research, indoor hydroponic farming and quality standards, culinary education and food incubators, Minsheng Food Wharf will help spur innovation throughout the production chain and invite visitors from surrounding neighborhoods, throughout Shanghai and beyond to have a complete food experience. Our proposed food production capacity will also serve the wider Shanghai area as a source of reliable and healthy produce that will be delivered via water transport.

RURAL URBANISM
PRODUCTIVE LINKAGES
2016/01, Studio work @MIT, with David, Zain, Sam and Luisa Contribution: Mapping, Shortestwalk analysis in Grasshopper, Network Diagram, Topography Analysis in Grasshopper Advisor: Prof. Adele Santos, Prof. Rafi This project focuses on the rural-urban fringe development of a small town closed to Nanjing. The aim of the effort is to find alternative models of rural urbanization that support common prosperity and stability alongside sustainability and livability. To sustain population and increase opportunity, the key is whether there is a better way to enhance the mobility and environmental quality. The villagers should be able to get benefit from the balanced development of working and living.

AGRICULTURE BUFFERS
Inbetween the six branches, the proposal plans to fill the landscape with either large corporative or small and private farmlands. These farmlands become the ecological buffer, contribute to the rural scenary and homestay tourism.
POPULATION GROWTH NODES
The population is expected to increase 1000 within the next 10 years. Nodes where service facilities are upgrated, newly implemented and the village center where branches interacts would be where new parcels for settlements are permitted.
PRODUCTIVE LINKAGES
Six main roads passes through the Zhujiabian Village center. In the branch proposal, these six branches are supposed to bocome corridors for differentiated developments with residential/ touristic/ industrial/ agricultural and institutional functions.

RENOVATED PASSAGE
2015/06, Professional work @ ADOS Architects, Project Architect, Solo Work, Contribution: All Project Manager: Xavier (founder of ADOS) A long passage with little functions seperates the office. This impenetrable passage kill the office which does not have plenty rooms. The space is currently dominated by working. Althouth there are three slots for rest and communications, it just does not work at all as different functions are isolated from each other. Seldom AKQA & NIKE visual identify materials are deployed. Lack of fresh color and visual elements. The plan is too massing, because it doesn’t make good use of the space. More free but delicated zoning is needed.
