R E T H I N K I N G I N F O R M A L P U B L I C S PAC E : LEARNING FROM TAIWAN NIGHT MARKETS MASTER OF LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE THESIS
Site: Taichung, Taiwan, China Time: 01/2020-06/2020 Type: Thesis Tutor: Pryor, Mathew Robert
Taiwanese night market as a bottom-up, self-organized public activity has already developed into a stable informal public occupying system. In the night market, there is a set of mature and organic operation mechanism, vendor management operation, tourists participation and experience, the interaction between different groups, constitute the night market characteristics and attractiveness. Night markets take place on streets or in parking lots to operate businesses, and informal public spaces are created by the temporary occupation of non-designed spaces by street vendors. The strategy of citizens' spontaneous use of space to meet their daily survival needs inspired designers and managers that public space can not only meet the top-down planning and control but also need to understand and accept the daily activities and demands of residents. This thesis started from the observation and recording of the Taiwanese night market, explored the common space and behavior characteristics that contribute to the success of the night market, put forward the evaluation tools of informal public space and a guideline of landscape architecture, aimed to inspire designers to rethink of public space, support the development of the informal urban occupying, realize the physical meaning, community response, and social justice of public space. Keywords: Taiwanese night market, informal public space, temporary occupation, public space evaluation tool, guideline of landscape architecture
02 THERAPYTOPIA INTERACTION OF THE MEDICAL SYSTEM AND TOURISM DEVELOPMENT Site: Banyuwangi, East Java, Indonesia Time: 01/2019-05/2019 Type: Strategic Planning Tutor: Jielu Lu - Pryor, Mathew Robert - Hana Huang
“Pave paradise, put up a parking lot” … is the very familiar chorus line from Joni Mitchell’s 1970 song ‘Big Yellow Taxi’, which was written as a personal response to the loss of traditional landscapes and culture in Hawaii through sudden and unthinking tourism development. It also contains echoes of the themes expressed by John Milton in his religious poem ‘Paradise Lost’ about sin (against god and the natural) and redemption. In this project, I look at the concept of ‘Landscape a s Fra m ewo r k ’ : h ow n a t u ra l l a n d s c a p e s y s t e m s c a n determine and order labor welfare and necessity (and in turn be determined by them); and how I might develop m e a n i n g f u l s t ra t e g i e s a n d p r o p o s a l s t o a ch i e ve a n d sustain a balance between the labor welfare and tourism income. In particular, I will examine the interaction between the local medical system and tourism development and the roles that landscape architects might play in managing these processes to achieve the most relevant and resilient outcomes possible.
WORKERS IN BANYUWANGI
ABSENCE OF NECESSITY
Banyuwangi is a city with the most eastern development of Xenopu Island in Indonesia. Because of its volcanoes, national parks, surfing beaches and a variety of tourist resources. These tourism resources are spread throughout the entire area of Banyuwangi, but are also located near these beautiful attractions, as well as local workers who are engaged in hard work. At Ijen, we can see the Tosca Lake crater and the traditional sulphur mining, and the sulphur workers still walk to the crater withour any amenities. The consequence of Banyuwangi's one-way development of tourism is that the government ignores the primary industry. The working environment of workers is difficult, infrastructure is lacking, and accessibility is extremely poor.

medicinal plants are proposed as the trigger for the project. The cultivation of medicinal plants provides local traditional medicinal elements, forms medicinal tourism, and produces medicinal by-products, thus bringing economic income to the local area.

03 PREDICTING THE DELTA ADAPTIVE STRATEGIES FOR COASTAL COMMUNITIES IN PRD
Site: Long Xue Island, Guangzhou, Guangdong Province, P.R.China Time: 09/2019-12/2019 Type: Urban Planning Instructor: Natalia Echeverri
This project will speculate on an adaptive and resilient set of future landscapes for the Greater Bay Area. We will identify sites in the PRD where infrastructure, ecological, and urban systems are compromised by the effects of climate change. Changing stormwater dynamics and flood regimes, vicious cycles of land subsidence and sea-level rise, risks to groundwater and freshwater resources, and shifting marine and terrestrial ecologies are all issues we are facing. In light of these problems, we will propose interventions and new hybrid systems to deal with future conditions. Longxue Island, which is the biggest artificial island in Guangzhou, mainly faces the continuous influence of the storm surge and the problem of sea-level rise. In the next 30 years and replaces the traditional fishpond system which is affected by the storm surge into land-use change, at the same time improves the Longxue island to achieve the terminal urbanization with the cargo ports as the main industry. Besides, mangroves and horizontal levees will become the main way to absorb the threat of sea-level rise and then restore the ecological vitality.

04 MATERIAL ASSEMBALGES LANDSCAPE ELEMENTS ARRANGEMENT ANALYSIS
Site: Taipo waterfront park, HKSAR, China Time: 10/2019 Type: Landscape technology Instructor: Pryor, Mathew Robert
Selected one of the canopy structures within Tai Po Waterfront Park, then measured it, documented it, photographed it, and investigated how and why to select and use materials in combination to create landscape structures. I look at a range of landscape elements and try and understand what they are made of and how they are put together. I also look at strategies for selecting and using materials in order to create a design language for a project.

05 FOREST DEGRADATION ANALYSIS THE INFLUENCE OF HUMAN FACTORS IN MINING AREA ON THE DEGREE OF FOREST DEGRADATION Site: Bengkulu Province, Sumatra, Indonesia Time: 04/2019-05/2019 Type: Landscape Media Instructor: Kelly, Ashley Scott Mining is one of the most important industries in Indonesia, with a total area of 4,122,072 hectares in the Indonesian mining industry. Among them, Sumatra has natural geographical and geological advantages and contains rich mineral resources. The Tandai project is one of the projects in the mining industry in Sumatra, located approximately 100 kilometers north of Benkulu Province in the northern part of Regent, Sumatra, Indonesia. The construction of the project began in November 2014 and was first gold rushed in September 2015. The ore currently has several open-pit mines and one underground mine. The company responsible for the project claims to have its physical environment management as its top priority, with the goal of minimizing the environmental impact of all its activities. However, since 2015, due to the construction of mines and surrounding facilities, including road construction, building construction, and parking construction, as well as large-scale mining activities, serious forest degradation in the region has been caused. According to incomplete statistics, after 2010, the mining activity caused the forest area in Indonesia to decrease by about 0.3Mha. Therefore, the research focus of this project is to pay attention to the impact of the Tandai project on deforestation in Bankulu province, Sumatra. The project conducts research on two scales, regional and specific, focusing on the degree of deforestation in 2015-2016 and 2017-2018 after the launch of the Tanati project in 2015. Through this research, the extent of the impact of heavy industry on forests and the ecological environment was obtained. Through the understanding of the degree of influence, the relevant departments are inspired to take corresponding measures to protect the ecological environment of Sumatra.
Regional Plan The impact of mining on deforestation in Bengkulu Province, Sumatra, Indonesia
Comparison Series The impact of mining on deforestation in mine I, Bengkulu Province, Sumatra, Indonesia Three mines and surrounding sites were selected as research objects to study the impact of human factors related to mining on deforestation. Factors influencing the study include mining area, roads and buildings. Key points •The impact of forest depletion on the early stage(2015-2016) of the mine was very significant.
The impact of mining on deforestation in mine II & III, Bengkulu Province, Sumatra, Indonesia As can be seen from the figure, the mine is the most serious factor affecting forest degradation.
