Landscapes design is more a process, rather than a form design. No matter what scale the design is about, it is not a design for a status stage, but a design that will change, or adapt to change over time. This is very much associate with the temporality, or phenomena of the nature world too. Like the fluctuate of water, the growth of trees, the seasonal change of trees, storm...You would rather need to anticipate what will happen and design according to the best way of what you think is good to happen.

To create a better environment for both tourists and the citizens . To set the stage for ecological and economic recovery. And to establish a sustainable and viable system.

Disorderly construction

Strength: 1. Rich humanity resources. 2. Abundant natural resources. 3. Superior geographical position. 4. Convenient traffic. Weakness: 1. Safety potential case by the earthquake. 2. Lack of infrastructure. 3. Disorderly current construction. 4. Chaotic transportation organization. Confusing town function.

Opportunity: 1. Good developing prospect based on the rich resources. 2. Policy promote tour- industrial development. 3. Economic development of surrounding areas. 4. Development of Rapid transit. Threaten: 1. Destruction of resources during the development process. 2. Slowly recovering after the great damage cause by the earthquake. 3. Lacking local infrastructure. 4. Lack of characteristics. 5. Challenge bring by the product diversity. 04

Building Transformation Planning:

1.Greenland patch planning: take service radius into consideration & built green spots through the street;mark out linear parks along the rivers & array landscape nodes with the landscape axis. 2.Green channel planning: form a natural stability plant community & maintain biodiversity;improve revetment type & recreate the original ecology system. 3.Green matrix planning: develop eco-agriculture & sightseeing agriculture;avoid village sprawling undermining the matrix.

Main green channel

Delimits the sky-line for lake area by using the visual perspective, control building's altitude, to avoids the high buildings influence the natural scenery.

Sub green channel Water channel Greenland patch Forest matrix Farmland matrix

Building Transformation Planning:

Current situation:

1.Lack of connection between every single water environment element. 2.Narrow between river and road, serious disturbance from human activities. 3.Lack of detail levels in landscape

1.Good quality buildings: with completely structure & maintenance materials,can be used continually. 2.Medium quality buildings: with basically intact structures,can be used after being renovate. 3.Bad quality buildings: with damaged structures & maintenance materials or tilted construction.

Bridgehead Square: It is the main entrance and open space of the Linpan. To review the old memory of history,I reconstructed the "Ziku" tower as a main feature and build a square around it.

Readjustment:

The complex design should be focus on rhythm and meter of horizon contour line,to constitute a smooth curve.

1.Low greening rate,uneven distribution of green land. 2.No green space system, farmland and forest are cut by artificial construction. 3.Lack of public green space.

Readjustment:

1.Dismantle Remove the whole construction. 2.Renovate Retain the major structure, reinforce the structure of internal part. 3.Decorate decorate the facade to meet the overall style. 4.Retain 5.Protect Repair individual component, remove new construction and renew traditional courtyard layout.

Building Outline control:

Current situation:

1.Unclear road grade and poor pavement quality. 2.Chaotic transportation organizations and the throughways going through the town directly. 3.Lack of accessibility among diffrent zones. 4.Lack of parking lots.

1.Divide the road grade into 4 grades: Throughways Perimeter circulation Main road Sub road 2.To ease the traffic pressure of AowanRoad,move the throughway to the east,using it as the highroad to Hongyan , connecting the eastern of Aowan road in the short term and forming perimeter. circulation in the long-term. 3.Built up a daily road system connecting settlements and communal facilities.

1.Connect the water environment elements such as paddy field,wet land & river channel into a network,to form a rain regulation system and a river purification system. 2.Strengthen the vegetation construction; limit the visitor flows and mark out the area which is not allowed to enter to make a better habitat for the animals and plants in the basin. 3.Seperate the main vehicular way and the water system to protect the ecological diversity along the river and avoid the distractions of the city;combines the reserved regional landscape, reveal a harmonious and environmental scene. 4.set up multidimensional land scape system,especially the open space around the bridge.

Inner Square: The purpose of this square is for resting and coze. An old tree cover the whole space to provide shady and cool.

Rim Space: The rim space of Linpan is always covered by indigenous trees. Sitting in this areas you can seclude from the world and enjoy the rural scenery.

PRELIMINARY ANALYSIS Background 2000

Concept

Shadow-lengths

In the past twenty years, China has developed at high speed. Since large-scale urban renewal, infrastructure construction and urban expansion, the bulk of the demand in recent years taken on the release. Therefore,how to protect the benefit of those people living in the bottom of society is a serious problem. In most people's mind, settlement seems to be a place with weak infrastructures, bad environment and wrecked buildings. So my core idea is very simple -- decide a settlement no longer as it once look like. By changing the old impression, this new residents have an opportunity to incorporate the urban life naturally.

In 1999, the government of Chengdu decided to move the administrative centre to the south of the city. In 2009, the southern metro is well-established. However, the development of urbanization also make farmers lost their lands. This design is a living community for those "lost-land farmers". Most of the land is used for farming.

To maintain the basic benefit of the relocated families and the continuous use of the social resources,I decided to remove them locally. According to the investigation,I choose a site on the edge of the southern metro,surrounded by the residential communities.

Building constructions, depending on the sharp of the site, in 2 major towards. Building height rising from south to north. Equal landscape resource. Construction of a semi-Waito create courtyard space. Elevating ground floor to broaden horizons and expand public space

Luodai, located in the east of Chengdu,is the largest settlement of Hakkanese in the western China. the most impressive building in Luodai is Guild Hall of Hakkanese, where they sacrifice to their ancestors, and gather for discussing. Huguang Guild Hall is one of these buildings. The hall faces south, using the overall layout of Chinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s axis of symmetry. It is a large quadrangle, peace and serene, with a three entrances compound in depth.

Completion

Background: This project was collaboration between Japanese and Chinese universities, and was built by students form both countries as a learning experience. Japanese and Chinese volunteers worked together on the constructional during the summer vacation, so promoting international understanding. With good construction management, the three buildings were completed in about forty days. These were first buildings in China to have a paper-tube structure, and were also the first school buildings to be completed in the earthquake-stricken province,
