Tracing The Land Texture Time
2017 Final Year Project Site: City of Playford Individual Work
Story
Traces are marks of changing, which involve the artificial works as well as natural forces changing environment. They are clues of stories on site, reflecting the local history, nature and culture, as well as bridging now and past. Interpreting traces and transforming them into artificial landscape elements reveal the realities of a place to visitors. Particularly in educational tourism, landscape derived from traces on site will highlight issues or facts that are usually neglected in public. This project aims to build a trail cross different farmland, in which traces left by agriculture activities are designed into landscape structures to indicate tourists with local stories follow the sequence of agriculture developments. The proposed site is located north waterloo corner agriculture area extending to the costal areas in the City of Playford, 30 kilometres north of Adelaide. Issues like the soil salinity, flooding, drought and the low utilization of land limits the development of this area. Different agriculture types are organized to build an agriculture c o m p l e x c o m b i n e d w i t h Va r i o u s landscape depending on traces of the land for more opportunities of solving local issues and producing more profits.

Agriculture: Depend on council’s development plan, Horticulture will still be developed mainly, which guarantees the food supply of Adelaide. Due to the differences of local soil conditions, especially in terms of the salinity, Horticulture will include Organic Horticulture and Greenhouse Horticulture. Animal husbandry will also be developed to provide space for water management, Filed rotation and habitats for wild lives. Tourism: The types of Agriculture will be divided further to tell a story of the agriculture development history. The project will build a linear recreation area cross the various agriculture field, within which tourists could enjoy the productive landscape as well as take part in some producing activities. The recreation area also connects the future neighborhood in Buckland Park and Virginia.

Real Estate: Large field in the west of site provides spaces for real estate, which have strength of attractive natural environment, flat terrain as well as low price of land. Real Estate will also be benefited by the recreation area built for tourism. Water and Soil: Managed Aquifer Recharge (MAR) is a main method to expand water storage for productive activities. Water of Flooding are guided to Wetland and then purified for MAR, Meanwhile, the threat of flooding is reduced and nutrition is brought to this field. MAR could also be used to reduce the salinity of underground water, which benefits the treatment of Alkali soil. To keep the fertilization of soil for crop producing, crop rotation is anther important technology.

Habitat Complex
Inspired by the landscape of salt pan, clouds and wild grass, this project proposes to build overhead apartments with roof salt pans in greenhouses, which could use sea water and solar energy to adjust temperature and produce fresh water for daily life and productive activities. Shared by residents, animals and vegetations, these buildings are harmonious in the local environment.

Chicken Farm
The chicken farm is located between greenhouses, which provides a open space for chickens and native wildlives. The chicken shelter is inspired by the early migration ship, which brought Australia the European Agriculture involving chicken husbandry. The ship shape of shelters also indicates the underground water storage, which collect clean rain water from roofs of greenhouses.

Nature Return 2016 Studio Cultures Site: Leigh Creek Individual Work
Leigh Creek is a small arid town located on north of Flinders Range which needs new businesses for its existing when its coal mine is planed to be closed in 2018. The town had been shrunk due to the decreasing population which main work on coal industries. It faced another shrunk by continued reduction of residents. The abandoned place of township shows a special landscape between natural and artificial environment, in which town lives meets wild lives. Nature return in the old town, telling stories of the local vegetations and animals as well as the Adnyamathanha People, while the wasted structures and concretes tells stories of the migrations and the coal mine. Basing on these, the project “Nature Return� designs landscape describing the meet between nature and human civilization, which is mainly built by local vegetations and recycled materials from the abandoned places.
Site of the town of Leigh Creek
In addition, to support the local economic, the proposal develops tourism not only for the town but also for the surroundings including the coal mine, Ochre Cliffs , Aroona Dam and Vulkathunha–Gammon Ranges National Park. Therefore, more facilities for tourism is to be built in the new town.

These gardens are also indicates the nature return. Steel and concrete are made by material from the nature. In these gardens, they are used to form landscape involving crack landscape and artificial habitat for wild lives. These landscapes are modified by nature force. The steel are rusty and return to the soil which influences the color of soil, while the concrete are broken into more pieces, which provides more spaces for wild lives. These characteristics give the landscape the mark of time and nature, letting visitors think the relationship between nature and human beings.

Diffusing Seeds by Because of the human interference on nature and the changing climate, some vegetation species are endangered. Collecting and storing seeds of these plants are essential to save their genes for future needs mainly in Genetic Engineering. As the space in SA Botanic Garden is not enough to support the increasing seed storage, I proposed to utilize the building and car parks of Le Cornu in Forestville, which were requested a new use, to make a multifunctional Seed Lab to store seeds and explore their new values.

Plants
The Seed Lab is located at a south western suburb of Adelaide, between a light industry area and a suburb neighborhood. It includes a micro green farm, a food court, a seed bank, an urban farm, green houses and research areas, in which landscape are productive and eco-friendly. They provide the residents and staffs recreational places for meeting, walking, eating, playing and learning and make economic profit by selling food, seeds and technologies.
