ABOUT ME With a range of professional experience, a B.A. and M.A. in Environmental Design from Chongqing University in China, and a M.L.A. from Iowa State University, I am eager to embark upon a professional career in landscape architecture.

The following work samples are stitched together from projects I did as a student, intern. They vary in nature and scape. However, Hopefully they convey a common theme of designing spaces that are socially and climatically conscious as they respond to the requirements of people, places and local context.

My strong work ethic, curiosity, discipline and commitment to landscape architecture make me a dedicated worker. With strong verbal and visual communication skills, I am able to thrive working both individually and in team settings.

Landscape architecture is my passion and looking forward to join in this exciting field.

SITE STRATEGY Site diagrams were the foundation for the design concept and organization of site. The natural area network was developed by considering: watershed characteristic, biodiversity potential, and the goal of providing recreational opportunities. The concept strived to provide park access at key points, campground area and to provide a retreat from the busy city.

03. THE RIVER BEND

ULI STUDENT COMPETITION AND INDIVIDUAL WORK Location: Chicago Team: Zhahnluk Bose, Satya Ganesuni, Noel Gonzalez, Nathan McKewon, Xiao Cui Individual: Landscape design, Typology design Focusing on the existing canal and its tributaries, the landscape strategy improves water quality and rebuilds the biodiversity of the region's aquatic ecosystems. Air quality and thermal comfort are also enhanced through careful spatial configurations utilizing landform, planting strategies, waterbodies, and prevailing winds to create microclimates that contrast Chicago's stifling urban heat island.

Adjacent development is also integrated, reconnecting the urban fabric on either side of the park. New transit lines that link site to downtown Chicago establish urban entrances to the park that provide an opportunity for mixed-use destinations influenced by their adjacency to the park.

TYPOLOGIES OF RIVERFRONT

A Waterfront Promenade The riverfront platform will increase opportunities for human aquatic activities and can be used as performance stage.

B River Network

By increasing the filtering greenspace between riverfront, it will collect excess stormwater cycled and cleansed through rain gradens. Stone retainning walls and gabions are used to increase biodiversity.

C Natural Wetland T h e i n c re a s e o f c o n s t r u t e d w e t l a n d s w i l l i m p ro v e anthropogenic discharge and filter runoff water and increase the diversity of animal and create animal habitat.

RESILENT TYPOLOGY STRATEGIES STRATEGY

In the order to create sustainable and adaptable city, I begin to anlysis the green, urban, seasonal, social and private, in relationship with social spaces. And to make each components work autonomously, I tried to achieve flexible goals based on multiple design elements.

Meanawhile, the fragmentation generates small elements.

These are more easily exchageable and adaptable than a big infrastructure. Then we have to appropriate these modular patterns to create new onews and to favor the renewal.

METHOD

Food Truck Plaza Multiple underground storage tanks Rain harvesting systems Native plants, Terraces

Supply for local restaurant and farm market

Wind power strategy and sun power

As introduce differnet scales and subjects, every pattern of "planning toolkit" has been modified. These various levels mingle and overlap to finnally create a planning, totally moldable and reversible. Numerous solutions are proposed, the equations are multiple.

AGRICULTURAL STRATEGIES

INTEGRATION TO LOCAL CULTURE AND ECONOMY

STRATEGY

Rainwater Harvesting

Wet-season capturing of rainfall from residential buildings helps to offset demand of groundwater for irrigation during the dry season.

A series of sport plaza, linear community gardens with a range of plot types, are distributed within the plan so that every resident has access to an agricultural plot in less than a ten-minute walk.

Related community and agricultural programs, such as restaurants, markets are located immediately adjacent to the community garden, creating further opportunities for economic development and innovation.

A mix of residential, civic, education, retail, and service uses underpin a holistic community. The integration of employment opportunities with diverse residential offerings will foster a new model of development that is less car-dependent and more sustainable.

SEASONAL CROP ROTATION Proposed bio-intensive organic gardens provide a more active harvesting cycle with greater biodiversity.

04. RURAL CHAPTER SCHOOL CAMPUS

PLANTING DESIGN

The design of campus envisions a multifunctional space for the rural chapter school, while also responding to its ecological context in Luther, Iowa. Native trees, shrubs and grasses were used extensively.

The plant design of campus emphasized year round aesthetics and different functions to provide edible garden and research garden for children and local community.
