MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT, OFFICE, MUSEUM, AND TV PRODUCTION CENTER Site: Changsha, China Date: July 2016 to 2017 International Competition Winner Design Stage: Concept, Schematic, Design Development, Construction Document Review Design Scope: Ground level landscape, Sunken gardens, Roof gardens The landscape design concept of the Hunan TV new campus is to create a ‘BIG STAGE’ as a showcase for the Client; further celebrating the TV station’s slogan to create a “Happy China”.

The landscape design has a strong connection with the architectural context. The main design scope includes seven roof gardens of different scales, a central axis under an architectural canopy connecting all roof gardens, a front plaza, and a trail. Each of the spaces were designed with their own character, all revolving around the concept of a Big Stage.

Innovation — Interactive — Culture This was the design goal to achieve. To create a landscape offering visitors, employees and celebrities outdoor resting areas; as well as an outdoor stage and casting space. The landscape had to be fun and artistic while carrying the characteristics of the TV station, including their special color scheme and their iconic logos and TV programs.

LIANJIANG PARK (LANDSCAPE DESIGN)

CONNECTING WATER, CONNECTING MOUNTAIN, CONNECTING CITY Site: Changsha, China Date: November 2014 to 2017 Design Stage: Concept, Schematic, Design Development, Construction Document Review Design Scope: Landscape Concept Competition, Landscape Design Located between a mountain and river in a rapidly growing area of Changsha, the 30 hectare Lianjiang Park commands a critical juncture of planned development while accommodating regional environmental challenges. ‘Lian’ means to connect; the park connects a city, mountain, and water through a meandering network of trails, terrace, creek, wetlands, and lake.

47

Under Construction

Derived from the ‘cloud patterns’ common amongst Changsha traditional paintings, the park’s meandering design vocabulary provides ecological and programmatic benefits. The expanded edge, derived from ecological principles that seek to increase edge conditions and thereby increase environmental exchange capacity, benefits both ecology and the park experience.

NORTH BY NORTHWEST (ACADEMIC, MASTER PLANNED COMMUNITY) A MODERN VILLAGE DESIGN FOR INDIAN PUEBLO PEOPLE Site: New Mexico Date: Jan.2013 to May.2013 Advisor: Laurie Olin, Tony Atkin

Instead of superimpose an American Levittown model, we set up 3 basic principles at the beginning for designing the new village: first is to cherish the heritage of locate pueblo people, including traditional village settlement pattern, culture custom and life experience; second is to organize the whole community in a subtle yet harmony way towards the vast nature surroundings;

third is to cooperate a modern and convenient system into the new settlement. Such goals are accomplished with an organic layout of different units across the site with individual adjustment to the environment and a landscape system reaches into the neighborhood that works with the annual flood of the river nearby.

NEW FRONTIER BETWEEN URBAN AND RURAL

INFORMAL SETTLEMENT IN MEDELLIN (ACADEMIC, MASTER PLANNED COMMUNITY) Site: Medellin, Colombia Date: Sep.2013 to Dec.2013 Advisor: David Gouverneur, David Maestres

By the year of 2030, the number of population living in informal settlements of Medellin will reach 0.95 million with a 0.32 million increase from 2013. Those people, who have very low income and limited assets, are very likely to live as informal settlers at the mountain edge of the city where land has no value and not suitable for construction.

63

The project is to envision the city’s challenge to establish a new development where the informal settlers can carry their identity and be economically independent. Social and environmental problems are both big challenges that directed the design.
