ABOUT ME
My journey with melbourne school of design officially began at 2016 . During almost 3 years memorable experience of design, I had gain a lot of interests in both landscape and architecture disciplines. At the December of 2018, I graduated as the Bachelor of Landscape Architecture in the University of Melbourne.

I
found landscape design and architecture are both very vital in demonstrating a citie's image and also they could be interrelate and collaborate with each other. In creating vibrant experiences, espacially during the development of modern open space. Nowadays, the architecture design tend to bring the buildings combined with more and more natural elements and also try to combine some landscape elements inside our building. The orthodox has been changed by those moden design and the functionality has been redifined, thinking the two together could break the boundary . Sometimes the two directions have their own irreplaceable work division in solving different problems.so I took some architecture design studioo as well in my bachelor study.

Explorations
Coordinator: Andrew Saniga Tutor: Bede Breannan
EXPLORATION IS A FOUNDATION STONE FOR ME TOWARDS LANDSCAPE URBAN DESIGN. The site is a courtyard space in campus near the IAN POTTER CAFE. Opportunities: 1. close to 2 cafes and a landmark building: the Ian Potter art museum, by which could attract people come to the site. 2. close to the train way, drive way, bicycle way and the pedastrian walkways on the Swanston Street -- GOOD accessibility. 2. the 2 English elms provide shading area for the site 3.could be modified in various of ways and styles because it is not being used by any faculty. 4. well-exposed to sunlight.( attractive to people) 5. the whole view of the site could be seen from the east side of the Physics building, could be a good spotting/viewing area for physics building( beautiful landscapes could relieve pressure). Constraints: 1. the depth of soils is too shallow at the higher area, which may not suitable for plants growing. 2. the 2 accesses to the campus near the site are too narrow and not easy to be found inside the campus as well, these affect the pedastrian circulation around the site. 3. the area is under used mainly because there is no space or facility for people to engage with. 4.close to the road, noises 5. not many sitting places for pedastrains, this site could provide various ways forpeople to sit. 6.some plants are unnecessary and is growing unhealthly. 7.lack of plants'variety.
1. the Museum and the old medical building were used to be connected at approximate this area, which explain the narrow way to the campus on the south side. 2. The path on the north side used to be a emergency evaculating doorway for the Betatron Laboratory,which explain the narrow way to the campus on the north side.

DIGITAL DESIGN FABRICATION skin and bone exploring personal space This studio to me is a really worthwhile but really long journey; I have learned and understood a lot of ways in design; the importance of working as a team, the depth of the design concepts, developing the skills of using digital modelling plug-in tools like Panelling tool, understanding the convenience and seems ultimate capabilities of grasshopper as well as the Kangaroo uses in making the tensions between skin and bone. The fabrication is more challenging to us: how to build our ideas close to physically perfect form, the helpful new technologies and the seeking for suitable materials, lastly, our model structure is too complicated with 1170 glue sticks needed and 600 of 3d printing joints, so building both the model and the prototype are actual-ly really time-consuming and needing some intelligent--because we have to un-derstand the form of 12&14 sided cubes and one mistakecould result in the inconsistent in other parts. We also had encountered numerous kinds of problems in finishing the physical model, buteventually, we found the new ways out as well as grasping the new possibilities and finally we get through those together.

2ND SKIN PROPOSED DESIGN
PERSONAL SPACE ANALYSIS
SKIN AND BONE: we explored the system of skin and bone in this module, by studying the structure of an
Design development - Version #2 ‘Honeycomb’
umbrella. By exploring its physical structure and the mechanisms, we found that the relationshi p between skin and bones should be strongly interacrional.
The key word of our model is ‘protection’,
the defined personal space volume is var-

ied by different sensitive area of the wearer, this not only offers different degree of
B O N E
necessay protection but also maintaining the structure’s variation and aesthetic values.
In
the case of designing a second skin, we must consider individual personal space. The illustration above, delineates the “invisible” surrounding space that an individual imagines is his or her social boundaries.
SKIN
From our measurements it was clear to us that personal space seemed to be more pertinent to the upper body. The sensitivity area includes; face, neck, chest and arms, also the front side are more sensitive to the back.
BONE
MAIN IDEA’S SKETCH DESIGN The
first sketch shows the bubble-like structure in fully extended form to forming an thick protective shield for the user. The second and third show how the proposal could be folding so that this design could be portable for us. The model almost seems to “balloon” or puff up like a puffer fish when you need some personal space. These sketches illustrates the varying shape and size of the model by changing the tension from the skin.
According to the sensitivity varies with different areas of the individual, we want our design to have a varying degree of both protection and variation to the wearer’s surroundings as well. Later the second skin aims to shield the individual from such vulnerabilities at the same time maintaining aesthetic appeal to the wearer and those around him/her.

Precedent Research membrane structure
Bones are strong in compression but can not create much tension. Meanwhile,
skins could havestrong at tension because of its elasticity.
Thus,
membranes
are stretched by the bones and bones are deformed by the tensile force of membrane. membrane structure on the vertexes of cubes in this way.
WATER CUBE Prototype - Version #1 Issues for water cube: 12 SIDES POLYHEDRON+ 14 SIDES POLYHEDRON - Hot glue gun left streaks of fine glue every where - Under high tension, some members of the bone structure would separate
Different from the connecting method (horizontally) above, we consider connect sticks vertically and twist them. Thus, the cubes are twisted vertically.
Connecting all the long sticks and twist them. Thus, there are four pairs (two pairs of grasshopper batteries) of membranes. Due to the short distance between vertexes, membranes are not under high tensile force. By the way, bones are slightly bent under the tensile force.

Connecting all the short sticks and twist them. Thus, there are eight pairs (four pairs of grasshopper batteries) of membranes. Due to the short distance membranes are under high tensile force and cause severe bending of bones.

FINAL PROTOTYPE DESIGN
Prototype - Version #2 BASED ON THE HEXAGON GEOMETRY, SEVERAL BASIC PROTOTYPES FOR THE SECOND SKIN WE HAD TRIED SHOWN IN PICTURES. THE SKIN, UNDER TENSION, PROVIDES SUFFICIENT FRICTION FOR IT IT TO HOLD ITSELF IN PLACE. WE NOTICED THAT THE CORNERS OF THE SKIN STUCK OUT AFTER BEING ROLLED. THIS LED TO CUTTING THE CORNERS OF THE THE PREVIOUSLY RECTANGLE-SHAPED SKIN STRIPS. THE GLOVES CAME POWERED WHICH MADE IT DIFFICULT FOR IT TO STICK. THIS MEANT WE HAD TO “DE-POWDER” THEM BEFORE HAND AND SALVAGE AS MUCH FLAT MATERIALS FROM A GLOVES SHAPE EVERY TIME,

AIR
2017 SEMESTER 2 TUTOR: FINNIAN WARLOCK PARAMETRIC DESIGN/BIOMIMICRY/ FUNITURE/SOUND (ALTHOUGH I AM A LANDSCAPE MAJOR STUDENT, AFTER DDF I FOUND MYSELF STRONG IN TERESTS ABOUT PARAMETRIC DESIGN AND ARCHITECRUAL WAYS IN SLOVING PROBLEMS. SO I WROTE TO THE COURSE COORDINATOR TO ASK FOR PERMISSION,THAT'S THE REASON WHY I TOOK STUDIO AIR.)
IN THIS TUTORIAL, WE NEED TO DESIGN AN ACOUSTIC POD FOR A REAL OFFICE, FROM DETAILED MODELLING TO REAL FABRICATING. THE IDEA " OASIS IN THE OFFICE" FIRSTLY CAME INTO MY HEAD, I WANT TO DESIGN A PLACE WITH CERTAIN PRIVACY AND WOULD ABLE TO CREATE THE ATMOSPHERE THAT PEOPLE COULD FIND CALMNESS. THE WHOLE STUDIO IS ABOUT USING PARAMETRIC DESIGN AS THE MAJOR CORE. THROUGHOUT THE SEMESTER I HAVE LEARNED HOW PARAMETRIC DESIGN WORKS BY THE MEANS OF GRASSHOPPER, AND HOW THE PARAMETRIC DESIGN ASSISTS ARCHITECTS MAKING NEW ERA DESIGNS ACHIEVABLE AND MORE ACCURATE. THE PARAMETRIC GEOMETRIES ARE BASED ON MATHEMATIC LOGIC WORKFLOW, I BEGAN TO APPRECIATE THE BEAUTY OF THOSE PATTERNS. ALSO THEY PROVIDE NEW INSIGHTS WITH MORE VARIETIES AND POSSIBILITIES.
DESIGN RESEARCH FIELD
"BIOMIMICRY"
Matrix 1- morning line
The subdiivision process which demonstrates the process of simultaneously generating itself and falling apart.
Matrix 2- VORONOI 3D
voronoi patterns feature in the distribution of each cells arranged by chance, controlling those unpreditable data is an interesting process.
‘ Nature is lazy, but also intelligent.’
Nature has been a constant source of inspiration in the design.And the field about biomimicry had become evident mainly in contemporary design, expressing by a wide range of forms and functions. The intepretations of nature in science inflenced architecture and other disciplines by aborbing motifs and employing them atistically.
The ways that biological system solves problem are pretty different from artificial or enginneering ways. If we look back the history of evolution, all the creations that have extincted versus all that are still alive today, proves that nature made adjustment automatically according to the phenomenons to fit the environments and biological solutions are the result of millions of failed prototypes.
Perhaps that is the reasons of Biomimetic designs, by using nature as the model to solving problems as well as , in the architecture realm, natureoriented design seems to always be relevent with modern society crisis and also to re-establish the relationship with an environment perceived as out of balance.
THIS DELICATE SHAPE WAS INITIALLY DEVELOPED BY USING SHORTEST WORK COMPONENT IN GRASSHOPPER AS WELL AS POP2D. MY INTENTION OF THIS DESIGN IS TO MIMIC THE SUBDIVISION VEINS STRUCTURE AND ALSO COULD BE UNDERSTANDED AS THE BRANCHES- LIKE STRUCTURE OF THE TREE, AND THIS STRUCTURE WOULD BE COATED BY THE CELLS SYSTEM ABOVE, OR WE COULD ALSO SAY LEAVES, TO PROVIDE A CANOPY LIKE CEILLING. THE ACOUSTIC POD I WAS TRYING TO ACHIEVE IS BY USING THE PANELS AND FOAM TO NEUTRALIZE THE IMPACTS OF SOUNDS. THE GAPS BETWEEN CELLS PANELS AND THE CELLS’ DIVISION HOLES TO MAKE SOUNDS PERMEABLE, AND THE ACOUSTIC MATERIALS COULD ABSORBING THEM. BASED ON MY ACOUSTIC RESEARCH, ACTUALLY EVERY MATERIAL COULD ABSORBING SOME VOICES. AND THE ABILITY OF ACOUSTIC FOR ONE MATERIAL DEPENDS ON ITS DENSITY , WHICH RELATES TO LETTING THE SOUNDS COMING IN, AND ALSO THE ABILITY OF CONTAINING AIR-----AIR IS THE MEDIUM FOR SOUND’S TRANSMISSION. CELLUAR PROTOTYPE VERSION 1
TECHNIQUE: LASERCUT MATERIAL: PLYWOOD
CELLUAR PROTOTYPE VERSION 2
Version 1 has the most rigid form in all, the plywood material is too brittle and also lacks in showing details.But the density of plywood is good in acoustic uses, as its relatively lower density inside which allows air and voice coming in and it could stay and consume the voice in side the structure.
TECHNIQUE: LASERCUT MATERIAL: PLYWOOD I was intended to put a membrane with dots to achieve acoustic effect, but it is still not very suitable, even it is already closer to biomimicry than version one but It didn’t emphasized the cells system and the cells division inside in my idea. I want to expressing the biomimicry feature in a more vivid and also flexible forms.
DIGITAL PROTOTYPE VERSION 1
TECHNIQUE: LASERCUT MATERIAL: MDF ,FOAM Since the version 2, I abandoned the ‘Frame’ part of the biomimicry cells and selected its counterpart to use as the cellular system, the inside individuals to continue my idea.
DIGITAL PROTOTYPE VERSION 2
CELLUAR PROTOTYPE VERSION 3 For more acoustic uses, the patterns continues the circle subdivisions happened on each individual. In addition of the central part, which plays th major acoustic functions of filtering and absorbing sounds. The voronoi like lasercutting foams are designed to be embeded, since foam is lightweight, softin texture and low in density, demostrating it would be effective in dealing with sound. The voronoi patterns insists the idea of biomimicry as well as the subdivision process, with a better acoustic effects.
PROTOTYPE DEVELOPMENT THE ORNAMENTAL-ORIENTED FORM MAKES IT HARD TO ACHIEVE FABRICATION IN MANY CASES EXCEPTING 3D PRINGTING. BUT 3D PRINTING STILL HAS LIMITATIONS OF MATERIAL CHOICE, MATERIAL QUALITY AND ALSO THE SIZE. 3D PRINGITNG SYSTEM WILL AUTOMATICALLY GENERATE A BASE FOR THE OBJECT, BECAUSE SOME PART ARE TOO FRAGILE, HAVE TO BE CAREFUL IN CLEANING EXCESSIVE MATERIAL.

FOR THE PANELS COULD BE CONNECTED WITH 'BRANCH' STRUCTURE THE PERFORMANCE OF THOSE 3D PRINGTING MARGINS ARE REALLY GOOD.JOINTS DESIGNED TO BE ON THE BRANCH, WHICH IS ALSO FIRM, STRONG WITH LIGHT WEIGHT. IN INDIVIDUAL PANEL PRACTICE ( INCLUDING DOUBLE-LAYER WOOD, FELTS AND INTERNAL SPACE WOULD HAVE BETTER A C O U S T I C QUALITY.) THE 6MM MDF IS FIRM AND STABLE E N O U G H T FOR JOINTING AND DOUBLE LAYERED, FINAL 3D PRINTING PROTOTYPE 1：15

THE MEANING OF PRITING THE WHOLE MODEL IN S SMALL SCALE IS TO HAVE AN OVERALL EFFECT IN REALITY, SO OBSERVERS COULD PERCEIVE BETTER CONTINUALITY AND THE SHAPE WOULD BE ACCURATELY PERFORMED, ONE DISADVANTAGE IS THAT IT COULD NOT DEMONSTRATE THE MATERIAL. SO I OPTIMIZED THE CELLS SYSTEM SEPARATELY BY MAKING A FEW PROTOTYPES TO IMPROVE THE MATERIAL AND WAYS OF JOINTING IN MANY WAYS.
BASED DESIGN ABILITY’ After engaged with more practical model fabrication and also with multiple methods, I have learned many practical skills and what should designers try to avoid in the conceptual process to avoid problems might occur in constructing process.
OBJECTIVE 4’ ACTALLAY MAKE SOMETHING IS AN ENJOYFUL PROCESS ALREADY. The desire to create is one of the deepest yearnings of the human soul, even in the process some manual adjusting for hundreds are tedious.
OBJECTIVE 5 ‘ THE IMPORTANCE OF GROUP WORKING ‘ Because I am doing the whole project along while others are all doing the studio by group, so I realized that the workload is really heavy and also one people’s cabability is really limited by limited time and energy.

TUTOR : TIM CARMERON GROUP PROJECT WITH XIANRONG LI
This landscape studio mainly deals with site contours, cut and fills of the terrains as well as a buildable ramp design. The objective is to design a ramp to connect the eames house with main roads on two different directions. We need to create a pleasant and dynamic landscape experinece to encourage people walking in, and interacting with the landscape. we also need to consider the wheel chair access in terms of landing and gradient. Features: platforms have 0.5m difference in height, which caused different views and create differnt spaces. The 2 ramps area also create 2 kinds of experience, one is decorated with small plants ,more welcoming and vigorous, another is more private and shaded by many trees.

REFUGEE
It is a two way competition organised by Australian Institure of Architects. The breif is to proposed a solution that exists in our city. we have to choose the design objectives by ourselves. The idea could be as bold as we could. We wanted to design a fantasy island without any bias at night, the space would be welcoming to "odd" groups such as homeless, people with drug issues, refugees or people who is suffering from urban anxiety and isolations. This space, in our imaginations, would be situated in rhe Old Treasury House at night, we deigned 5 different shapes for different groups and also 5 short comic stories to illustrate their stories. Even though it is only an attempt in terms in breaking the orthodox boundaries of architecture, we hope this idea would become realistic and more common in the future.

LANDSCAPE STUDIO 4 DESIGNED ECOLOGY
OBJECTIVES MY PROPOSAL AIM TO MAKE THIS PLACE BECOME AN LIVEABLE WATER SIDE BELT, THE WATER BODY WOULD BE UNDER CONTROL ED, THE PRECEDURES FOR IMPROVING THE WATER QUALITY SHOULD BE TAKEN. FROM ABOVE, THESE COULD ALSO HELP THE DESIGNERS TO RETRIVE THE ECOLOGY/ BIODIVERSITY.
ECOLOGY & DRAINAGE LANDSCAPE AND ENVIRONMENTS THE MOONEE PONDS SITE, FAMOUS BY ITS FLOODING ISSUES DURING THE RAINY SEASON AS WELL AS ITS SERIOUS CONTAMINATION AS A STORMWATER DITCH PLACE. THE ECOLOGICAL SYSTEM AROUND AND INSIDE THE POND IS PRETTY BARREN, COMPARING WITH THE CONDITIONS100 YEARS AGO. MY DESIGN AIMS TO MAKE THE POND BECOMING A LIVEABLE PUBLIC WATERWAY, FIRST OF ALL, THE POOR ECOLOGY CONDITION MUST BE SAVED AND THE ENVIRONMENTS NEED TO BE RETRIEVED. THE WATER LEVELS OF THE CREEK ARE VARIED, WHICH DEMONSTRATES THE INSTABILITY OF THE DRAINAGE SYSTEM AND ALSO THE LACK OF CONTROLLING IN DEALING WITH THE WATER HERE. THE STORMWATER IS JUST SIMPLY BEEN DISCHARGED INTO THIS AREA.
THE CREEK HAS THE HISTORY OF FLOODING IS BECAUSE ITS LOCATION ON THE MATIBYNONG RVER AND CLOSE PROXIMITY TO OTHER CREEKS. THE MUNICIPALITY CAN BE AFFECTED BY RISING LEVELS OF THE RIVERS AND CREEKS (RIVERINE FLOODING) OR FLASH FLOODING CAUSED BY HEAVY RAIN OVER A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME.
ECOLOGY IS NOT THE ONLY GOAL, I STILL HOPE THIS SPACE COULD BE MANAGED FOR CERTAIN HUMAN ACTIVITIES AS WELL, BECAUSE I BELIEVE HUMAN AND NATURE ARE INSEPARABLE, THEY WOULD VALUES OUR ENVIRONMENTS MORE FROM SUCCESSFUL EXAMPLE.
