| CONCEPT For the “story“ of water, as the stream flows down to the Los Angeles River, it goes through sediment pond, hits the bank, overflows from vernal pools, aerates during small water falls, and slows down in the more natural area. Besides, on-situ runoff from parking lot and hard-scape is collected in the pea gravel diaphragm belt. In such way, moisture is captured to support trees that can provide shade. The significance of water to flora is also embodied in the different vegetation in different hydro-zones. The southwest facing bank is drier than the northeast facing bank. So the former plant community is sage scrub while the latter is chaparral. As for the human and wild animals, human intervention is limited in the northern part of the site while natural space for wild animals in the south, especially for the birds. Accordingly, space in the northern part is more geometric, dense and up-and-down, while the southern habitat is more bird-friendly, with layered native plants, providing food, water and shelter. However, these two parts are not absolutely separated. The buffer zone in -between allows limited didactic exploration, such as bird watching and forest-adventure, meanwhile, making the park more of a stepping stone for wildlife from the Griffith Park at night.

PROJECT 2 | Food Urbanism : Cultivating the vacancy DESCRIPTION | Post-riots urban corridor regeneration design. The design focuses on using food urbanism as a mechanism, waitingscape as the opportunity, to facilitate culture fusion and redevelopment in South Los Angeles, where the 1992 L.A. Riots started.

FOOD URBANISM The Vermont Avenue Corridor was significantly and physically effected by the 1992 Los Angeles Riots, and has evolved into a multi-racial transect. The riots erupted largely because of tensions between African Americans, Korean Americans, Latinos and White Americans in the city and in the area. The reason attributes to the turbulence mainly lies in the competition over resources and opportunities among these social groups. Therefore, the proposal for this post-riots corridor aims to catalyze positive dialogues among these key social groups, make the multi-culture as the new identity, and eventually foster economic growth, human and ecological health.

2-FUSION HUB : from witness to regeneration In the 1992 Los Angeles Riots, the intersection of Florence Avenue and Normandie Avenue was the first flash point of the unrest. People gather here to protest the Rodney King Verdict result. Gradually the protest became violent and surrounding stores were looted, and it expanded to the Korean Town. This event concerned multi-races, which upgraded the hostility between varied racial groups in Los Angeles. This design intends to transform the historic negative memories into positive food distribution and markets that benefit the area. The pavilions at the intersecton will serve as the memorial infrastructure to reclaim the historical sense of place during the Riots. In the recent years, Califronia has been at the receiving end of a tide of immigration from Asia, Latin, America, Europe and other parts of the world that are probably unmatched since the great trans-Atlantic migrations at the turn of the century. Originaly inspired in part and still largely influenced by the cooking of immigrates, the state’s cuisine is melding the culinary styles of Western Europe with those of Japan, China, Korean, Southeast Asia, Mexico, the American Indian and others.

1- THE SOUTH GRANGE The vacant lots upon the intersection of the Manchester Avenue and the Vermont Avenue remain unbuilt nor dedicated since the 1992 LA Riots. The area has been shrinked by 30% percent due to surroundiing real estate development, and it has been owned by Eli Sasson since 2005 till now. To the north of the lots, the building of the L.A. County Department of Public Social Services was completed in 2007. This most-recent building aroused controversy that it has not regenerate the area. In addition, residents in the surrounding neighborhoods are disappointed for the expectation of a full-senic retail mall rather the goverment building. To fulfill the public’s need of commerce, which addressed their longing for job opportunities, food source, and social engagment, the space is proposed to be the green core of the area, which has the role of production, education, and public gathering. This provides easy access of fresh food for the community and individual households, and raises awareness of human and ecological health within the neighborhoods. It aims to address the new energy transforming catalyst from negative ruins to positive production and growth.

| CONCLUSION The Vermont Corridor was significantly physically effected by the 1992 LA Riots and has evolved into a multi-racial transect. The riots erupted largely because of tension among African Americans, Korean Americans, Latinos and Native Americans in the city and in the area. From my study, I tend to attribute the turbulence to competition over resources and opportunities among social groups. So my proposal for this post-riots corridor aims to catalyze positive dialogue among these key social groups, make the multi-culture as the new identity, and eventually foster economic growth, human and ecological health. The medium I have focused on is food urbanism. Food, or cuisine cannot be excluded from cultures. Visually, when we enter the Vermont corridor from the north, it’s not hard to notice the gradual change in cuisines and restaurants, from Korean BBQ, to Chinese food, Hispanic Tacos and fast food in the south, which accordingly responds to the demographic distribution, and in the south to poor populations. Apparently, the south central area, which we focused on, is a food desert, and access to fresh food and job opportunities are limited by poor development and lack of city investment. [Phase 2] But where is the opportunity for food access? In order to trigger dialogue, I looked for the places and time that people gather in everyday life. Through fieldwork, I mapped the waiting-scape along the corridor, which originates from the current indoor or outdoor land uses or services that cause people to wait. In this way, people can be engaged in the food production and consumption process. Such waiting time can be seen as temporal vacancy that serves as an opportunity for occupation. The other opportunities are the physical vacant lots and parking lots along the corridor.
[Phase 3] As I illustrate in my urban design strategy, food urbanism cannot simply result in community gardens, but a food cycle of growing, harvesting, storing, cooking, dining and composting, that stitches the whole community including residents, schools, and of those waiting places such as laundromats, Auto-repair business, and so on. Based on the temporal and physical vacancies, there are two major forms of proposed regeneration, one happens in the street-side parking lot, the other in the vacant lots. A bite of different cuisines, a pepper field, or a kimchi-making studio, can provide opportunities that bring people together through knowledge, jobs, tourism, and give certain groups of people a sense of belonging. [Phase 4] The vacant lots in the intersection of Manchester Avenue and Vermont Avenue are proposed to be the green core of the area, which has the role of production, education, and public gathering. This provides easy access of fresh food source for community and individual households, and raises awareness of human and ecological health within the neighborhoods. [Phase 1] The intersection of Florence Avenue and Normandie Avenue serves as the major distribution and market place. Meanwhile, the pavilions at the intersection will serve as the memorial infrastructure to reclaim the historical sense of being one of the major flash points at the riots, and turn the negative memories into positive food distribution and markets that benefits the area.

| CONCEPT
Before
From a combined social, technical and operational perspective, this robust and reliable design represents a cost-effective alternative to traditional methods such as sewer pipes. The Waterway system will become a visible and val-ue-generating part of the street economy and will reduce damage to public and private property.
In order to meet this demand, companies from the road sector, the water sector, and urban design discipline have joined forces to develop a new flexible and costeffective road system that integrates stormwater and flood management with urban infrastructure and street design. The development project runs from 2014 – 2017 Change Street Profile and is co-funded by cross-sector collaborators and the to collect surface runoff philanthropic organization Realdania, a supporter of solutions for climate adaptation of dense urban areas.

Technical aspects. Recognizing that there are huge variations among urban streets with respect to space availability, climate, pollution, traffic, buildings, users, the key factors in the design of the developed system are flexibility and multifunctionality. Therefore, the technical core elements of the system are restricted to (1) the road profile, and (2) a modular water collection system. By combining these two elements into one integrated system and by designing the individual components to accommodate a

During heavier precipitation, the road surface is allowed to gradually become temporarily flooded. In traditional road construction, stormwater drains off to either side of the road. This project puts forth a new typology, that of the v-shaped profile, also known as hollow roads, where all water collects at the road center.

DRIVING
Constraints: People walking near the campus perimeter encounter a harsh and hostile transportation world. The quality of pedestrian crossings is poor and any improvements will require changes to signaling and intersection design. Improving the campus experience will require changes to public highways.
Constraints: Safety and comfort for people cycling is limited once they leave campus. There is virtually no bicycle infrastructure connecting to our campus. The existing street corridors connecting our campuses are hostile environments for walking and bicycling.
Constraints: Demand for use of private car remains high and zoning laws require provision of additional parking spaces as more space for teaching and research is built.
Opportunities: Ackert Walkway and the Spine are pedestrianfriendly connections to surrounding residential areas. In future all perimeter streets should become safer and more comfortable to cross and walk along. A better balance between local needs and passing traffic is possible.
Opportunities: Locally and nationally there is a resurgence of the use of the bicycle as a desirable transportation alternative. University campuses are home to a community of potential early adopters of bicycle culture and inviting the use of bicycles on and off campus will affect future transportation behavior of young students in particular.
Opportunities: Demand for private cars is projected to decrease in the future, eventually allowing us to reduce parking on campus. In the mean time, the University can increasingly limit general vehicular movement on campus to the perimeter, where it can enable access to parking structures. Over time, the University can remove all surface parking lots from campus.

Recommendation Letter Schulze+Grassov ApS Niels Ebbesens Vej 11 1911 Frederiksberg Copenhagen Denmark
Copenhagen, 30th June 2016
To Whom it May Concern
Wen Wu was employed as an intern at Schulze+Grassov in Copenhagen for a six-month period January to June 2016. From the first day to the last day of work we experienced her as an outstanding landscape architecture student of the highest caliber and promise. Today, on her last day of service, Wen has firmly established herself as the go-to design assistant in our office that is in high demand by all project leaders in our office. There are several outstanding and strong personal characteristics that I have observed in working closely on a daily basis with this young professional: A fearless openness - A global young professional that shows no sign of stress or nervousness when immersing herself in alien environments across the World or when tasked to work on unfamiliar project assignments. A positive personality - A positive member of staff that begins every day at work with a genuine smile and positively affects the office atmosphere through her presence and manner. A genuine â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;can-doâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; personality that motivates other members of staff. Commanding trust - Through 100%-focus and complete dedication she has earned a high level of trust from partners and superior members of staff. Tasks requiring personal rigor and meticulous attention to detail are naturally passed to her rather than others. Within weeks or arriving in our studio this young woman from China had assumed a role as design assistant on the largest mobility plan project currently underway for a major research-led private university in the United States at Washington University in St. Louis.
