Growing from an urban planning and landscape architecture background makes me be able to think in a multidisciplinary way in the design process in order to consider both the larger urban context and specific site issues. Work collaboratively with the previous project team to assist in developing initial conceptual thinking through project delivery and execution, including interdisciplinary coordination and stakeholder engagement. The variety of planning and design projects I have been involved in makes me prepared to dive in any stage of assignment.

The city of Shenzhen has witnessed a massive expansion in the past 30 years. While the projected growth continues, the city is facing its transformation from manufacturing to culture. We propose a mix-use planning framework to the site. This framework integrates the existing and planning infrastructure into a interrelated network of corridors, buildings and open spaces in between. This integrated framework digest the demand for infrastructure at the local level, will not only embody educational program, but also respond to industrial, and communal needs.

Open Spaces We Proposed an integrated open space system to link the corridor and buildings within the campus. This system contains green spaces between public buildings and private courtyards within the residential units on campus.
Courtyards
Lower Campus Together as a whole, withe Corridor, the buildings, and the open spaces, the lower campus is the community of “interface� where its residents interact with the nature on north side and the city on the south side.

Architecture Design The library is the core of centralized learning in the university system. It is the most direct exchange of information between pupil and source knowledge in the campus. In our new university model, internal, archived sources of knowledge are filtered into living and interactive learning spaces throughout the campus creating an identity for each college.

Seed of Culture In our new university model, internal, archived sources of knowledge are filtered into living and interactive learning spaces throughout the campus creating an identity for each college. Each college then becomes a hub for learning that is defined by its particle of the university library. As the student grows with the college, their identity will be informed by these interactions.

Seed of culture spread into campus
Library system It continues vertically into the college above and forms a vertical book core in the heart of the college which serves as a branch of special collection from the main circular library. The open nature of the library is also enhanced by its ground floor connection to the public university street in the front and the classroom in the matt nearby.

Meanwhile, Atlanta suffered from it’s regional transportation planning disaster. With fewer natural barriers to contain or restrict the region’s growth, sprawling

changed the land form as well as people’s life patterns for the past 15 years.

From 2000 to 2010, Atlanta has recently undergone a drastic
demographic increase
in its migrants. Some 500 people per day are moving to the Atlanta Metro Area (Atlanta MSA)
In 2004, the elected and appointed senior leadership of Newton County formed the Leadership Colloborative for the purpose of fostering a coordinated county-wide plannng and policy-making process for both today and tomorrow.
Documents Study By intentionally zoning for higher and lower density, rather than allowing future growth to spread itself evenly across the entire county, the 2050 Plan will concentrate 89% of the county’s future population into compact communities on 37% of the county’s land area.

The new manufacturing facility of Baxter International have broken ground in 2012 and construction is expected to be completed by 2015, the majority of the 1,500 jobs expected to be created over a five-year period will be at the Stanton Springs site. The site economy pattern will elaborate on this technology park, how to better
facilitate it meanwhile keep the balance between jobs, people and land.
Georgia Perimeter College (Newton) 1500+ Jobs Newton County’s civic leaders identified five new compact communities where zoning will allow more growth.

Program In Sulphur Dell, the conflicts among ecology, economy and equity are more marked than other parts in states. Solutions need to be made through holistic approach. Thus, a multi-functional, mixed-use development model, aims at stimulating local community engagement in building unique land characters and city spirits are the driving force for this site to revitalize again. BUILDING FOR HEALTH We designed a program that supports residents’ healthy lifestyle choices, which include physical activity, healthy food and positive social interaction. We considered market and non market factors in promoting the above choices through design. FLOOD RESILIENCY The second part of the master plan responds to the site’s frequent flood issues. We analyzed the site conditions and explored the flood control through stormwater management system coupled with grey water recycling.

HANDS ON NASHVILLE We have long learnt that community living cultivates social order. A community based living establish bonds between its members through co-op association of persons who voluntarily cooperate for their mutual, social, economic and cultural benefit. In this community, there is shared interest in art and creation, there is shared belief in buying local and buying organic, and there is shared concern over natural resources. We added these three shared living elements into our design.
CREATIVE INDUSTRIAL INCUBATOR We rehabilitated some of the industrial buildings by selective removing the exterior so to expose different stage of the “industrial” to the nature. FLOOD CONTROL

Flood Control
In the normal season, water level won't go through the filtration gate. The excess water is observed locally in the bioswale. In the middle-level flooding season, water level goes up, covering open space and forming small ponds of temporary function of bioswale. In the heavy rainfall season, the site’s green system joins the city’s stormwater system, observing flood locally and reducing burden to the city’s flood control.

This project locates in southeast East Lake scenic area, only 10-minute drive from Optical Valley (the Silicon Valley in central China).

The Landscape Visual Conditions The site is situated in the East Lake Scenic area, surrounded by flat farmland on one side and hills by three sides. Within the site, the vegetation of the nursery garden is luxuriant and verdant, and the view may change drastically with the passage of the season. Considering the geological characteristics and the holistic scenic view, it is proper to design a garden on the site.
