West Lake, Hanzhou City, Zhejiang Province

West Lake of Hangzhou is a natural lake of most cultural significance in China, which has three islets on it - Ruangong islet, Middle lake pavilion and Small Ying islet. For more than a thousand years, people have created beautiful scenery and plentiful historic sites in the lake area as well as a great deal of widely spreading legends, poetries and other cultural heritages. West Lake has been the ideal model of traditional Chinese landscape and even the model of other Asian countries.

By the end of the 20th century, with the speedy urban growth and the increasing number of visitors, many problems had become more and more acute in the West Lake region, especially in Ruangong islet - it only allows people to visit on summer evenings to watch its night scenery due to its soft soil and degraded ecological environment.

The local government expected to create a better urban environment, promote the development of tourism, and provide high-quality urban open spaces for citizens by remodeling the West Lake region. The project covers an area of 5,670 square meters and the landscape architecture project is confronted with multiple challenges based on its complex situation.

2. Issues & Design Strategies Issues

01 - Crowed and overwhelmed scenery spots in other two islets

02 - Lower accessibility compared to the other two islets

03 04 - Disappearing historic relics and - Insufficient green space for disorderly constructions animals and human beings

05 - Not integrated with the other two islets and city - Simple function

Ruangong Islet

Other Two Islets and City

In view of existing situation and local needs, resilience thinking could be applied in this design project in order to confront future uncertainty, which was came up with in 1960s from ecology study (Folke, 2006), and then researchers introduced resilience concept into different ways, as "the ability of a system to return to an equilibrium or steady-state after a disturbance", system's ability to absorb and adapt disturbances which its stability and functionality could still persist and the ability of complex socio-ecological systems to change and transform in response" to unpredictable and uncertainly future (Davoudi et al., 2012, pp. 302). Moreover, all resilience thinkings have four common qualities which are diversity, modularity, feedback and redundancy.

According to these theories, this project using resilience thinking aims to achieve a sustainable development which is to

"Enhance the tourism portfolio - expand tourism types, enhance the existing tourists' destinations, develop new destinations, restore habitats and traditional historic relics and improve the internal and external connections".

Project: Urban Design of Fitzroy North and South

Site: Melbourne, Australia Time: 08.2014-11.2014

Australia, Victoria

Greater Melbourne, Fitzroy

1. Fitzroy and Fitzroy North Fitzroy is one of the oldest suburbs in Melbourne. It is a highly attractive place for tourists and residents as it is close to Melbourne CBD, with good access by a variety of transport modes.

For a number of years, Alexandra Parade separates Fitzroy into two distinct suburbs. North and South neighbourhoods did not interact with each other for a long time. The triangle site between North and South Fitzroy has being limited use and there has a series of conflicting issues. This project aims to design a Fitzroy Centre which located in original triangle site providing significant opportunities for future Fitzroy to represent its identity, history and future trend.

Public Transportation

The area has a lot of green space, although not all of it is useable for the public. There are many trees throughout the area. However, there is a relative lack of trees in the area surrounding the southern part of Brunswick Street.

The percetage of conmercial zone and residential zone are similar.

Although there are some disconnected bike paths between North and South of Alexandra Parade, the paths were still heavily used by cyclist, but they were sometimes forced to divert their journey.

The connection between the northern and the southern section of the site is rather poor. There are few and only inconvenient opportunities for people to cross, but these were well-used. Parking opportunities are found throughout the entire site.

POOL FACILITIES BUT CONDITIONAL ENTRY

The area south of Alexandra Parade was dirtier and less well maintained than the northern section. There are furthermore some small alleyways with no streetlights, which makes especially the area surrounding Brunswick Street rather unpleasant at night.

AD

There are many different types of residential housing throughout the site. There are many examples of old terrace houses, especially in the areas further away from the main roads. Newer developments, that are often also higher, are more prominent in the area north of Alexandra Parade.

ET

Wasted Green

Broad strip of green space on Alexandra Parade These spaces are lost to the public, as they cannot be used because they are difficult to access and surrounded by traffic.

UNUSED SPACE BECOMES COMMUNITY WALL

NEGATIVELY IMPACTING SUBURB IMAGE

Many examples of Street Art can be found throughout the site. Some of the graffiti, for example at the wall of a community garden, seems commissioned.

In many cases the Street Art provides a positive contribution to the image of the site. In some cases, however, it leaves an impression of filthiness.

Weaknesses

Opportunities

Constraints

SOME HIGH QUALITY OPEN SPACE AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC

ALLEYWAYS ARE OFTEN DIRTY WITH LOW MAINTENANCE

OPPORTUNITY EXISTS TO FOCUS ON LOCAL SHOP MARKET

IMPLEMENTING CHANGE MAY BE DIFFICULT DUE TO COMMUNITY GROUPS

Good Location: Close proximity to the CBD. The area is easily reachable by public transport, although the tram connection could be better. The site is located at the intersection of North, East, West and South Melbourne.

Maintenance: Certain areas are not well maintained.

Some house fronts show a lack of care and cleanliness that reduces the appeal of the streetscapes. There is a lot of dirt on the streets especially in the southern part of the area surrounding Brusnwick Street.

Environment: Possibility to utilize wasted green space within and around the site. Create more initiatives to get rid of some rubbish and dirty areas around site to ensure a well maintained area . Increased tree canopy and urban amenity may lead to the improvement of local environment.

Active community: Active community may dislike/ disagree with changes – NIMBism, trying to reconnect between the north and south will be difficult, given the roads fragile state of being a network. The government project is hard to implement due to the incorporated local community.

Safety: There is a lack of lighting at night and traffic signs in some cross streets and a lack of surveillance.The alleyways south of Alexandra Parade are very dark and makes the area unsafe and uncomfortable at night.

Economy: Focus on local shops/ fresh fruit and veg markets – St Georges Rd shopping has improved, creating attraction, which may bring more economic opportunities and employment for local community.

Open space: Under-utilization of open and green space in the area also reduces the amount of available residential space.

Wasted open spaces: There is a lot of wasted public space in the area. The green strip in the middle of Alex Pde acting as a buffer zone is rather broad, but unusable for use.

Some vacant shops in Brunswick St also give off a negative impression.

Cooperation: Work with the community to increase density through controlled gentrification without taking away their balanced environment.

Economy: Increase in density will cause more demand for housing in this location and may force value of land housing prices – up.

Transportation: Local community’s campaign of new railway roads may create a more conveniently commute to the CBD for the residents and it will also make the area more accessible to visitors from other areas.

Management: Removing the street art and “community neighborhood feel” and forcing the artists out will change the appeal of the area. It’ is difficult to sustain the heritage buildings and streetscapes in terms of the incremental modern architectures.

High Attraction: Historical background and artistic atmosphere. Brunswick Street provides a major attraction.

They contribute to the area’s economic output, providing revenue and employment opportunities. The area is famous for street art and its alternative “vibe”, which is a major drawing point for residents and visitors.

Transportation: Good connectivity of bicycle roads.

There are already quite many well-connected bike paths.

Furthermore, there are many bike-locking facilities.

The area is very permeable, with many pathways for pedestrians except Alexandra Pde.

Active community: There is an active local community.

There are important community services in the area (the swimming pool and the Fitzroy Citizen Centre). There is a strong sense of community in the area and it area has become more gentrified and stable.

ALEXANDRA PARADE

Environment: Alexandra Parade acts as a wedge between Fitzroy North and South. It is difficult to cross. It causes air pollution and excessive traffic noise. The traffic noise makes use of Triangle Park and Smith’s Reserve less pleasant.

Open Space: The area contains quite a lot of open, public space. There is a sufficient amount of parks. One park is even equipped with a playground for children.

Transportation: Congestion of Alexandra Parade makes the commute to CBD inconvenient. Bike paths on Alexandra Parade are unsafe. Although there are many footpaths they are in poor condition, very narrow, obstructed and uneven making them difficult to manoeuver.

1. Background In recent years of China, there have increasing number of expressway constructions as the demands of landscape quality along expressways have been gradually growth. Designers start focusing on a more aesthetic environment in expressways. Therefore, expressway with a basic function is no longer to meet the need of drivers and travelers. Depending on this situation, our group utilizes conceptual landscape methods to reconstruct landscapes along expressway, which aims not only protecting natural landscape along expressways, but also applying those conceptual landscape designs to improve the visual beauty on the way of drivers and traverlers. As a great number of Chinese paintings illustrates how natural landscape works with people's live, as a result, our group decide to apply the elements of Chinese paintings to research on landscape construction along expressways.

This is a group work and it lasts 6 months. My contribution includes purposing conceptions, collecting and analysing data, making models and planning plant strategies.

4. Urban Planning Works

Location

4.1 Strategic Planning - City of Darebin The intent of this strategic planning is to inform council about the current housing, transport and access conditions in the City of Darebiin. A thorough analysis of the area was undertaken by site visit and review of population, real-estate and transport data. Based on the strengths and weaknesses identified in the aim is for the City of Darenbin to be an equitable area suited to the needs of its diverse population.

Utimately our group believe Darebin has great potential to achieve the objectives set out in this strategic planning, and in doing so will develop into a truly equitable and accessible area for its residents.

My contribution in this group work was purposing site issues and illustrated them by diagrams; composing our group work and modifying strategic objects and social connection which assist to figure out key stakeholers and funding source.

Issue Statement

Vision

The diverse of Darebin is under threat of becoming unaffordable and exclusive if issues of social-spatial fragmentation, unequal distribution of transport and affordable housing persist.

Method - Cause-Effect Tree A "Cause and Effect" charting approach was also used to gain a solid understanding of the strategic issues in the City of Darebin. Analysing and understanding the interrelated nature of the issues and how they manifest was key in developing strategies that would address them effectively.

The future of City of Darebin will a place for all to call home.

Affordable housing, sustainable design and equal distribution of services will form the basis of a cohesive and whole community.

Cultural, social, and economic diversity will continue to be welcomed whilst housing diversity that reflects these needs will be available.

Abundant opportunity will be offered in thriving activity centres, serviced by efficient public transport, and connecting the whole community with equal access to the local economy.

4.2 ArcGIS - Sustainable Development Analysis 4.2.1 This project used GIS as a tool to experiment the site selection and finding potential locations to help customers to find parcels to construct their house. From studying the data of existing open space, bus stop, water system, slope and aspect, a map is created to show the most suitable area for customers. This is a individual work done by ArcGIS course.

4.2.2 This project used GIS to find sustainable development area in Bendigo which is encompassed by a large proportion land of national parks, regional parks, reserves or bushlands. However, these forests not only served as natural habitats for biodiversity development, but also are deemed as a risk for bushfire as it suffered a number of Black Saturday Bushfires that damaged to the life of their residents. Due to the situation of Greater Bendigo, this project put forward with some planning criteria that suitable for its sustainable development and resilient to confront potential hazards. This is a individual work done by ArcGIS course.
