HEALING LANDSCAPE new fish farming system
floating community By adding new waterways to the traditional fish pand, a new environmentally friendy fish pond system is created, working together with the aquaponic system as the new water economy in this area. With the new water economy introduced, a new kind of floating settlement is generated. Settled both on the water edge and within the floating fish pond system. Land connected to those floating houses is elevated to be a safe land during the flood, on which school, market and fundamental facilities are located, creating a new floating cmmunity. new water economy
Aquaponics Healed Forest
Healing landscape is located in the south of Ca Mau city. A new kind of floating fish pond and aquaponic system are introduced in this area.

Stakeholder diagram knowledge for sustainable remediation Long term remediation of the damaged soils and landscapes are led with new and increased knowledge from the localized bio research center, providing a basis for future landscape productivity and capitalization. New large scale cuts provides opportunities for a sustainable fish production in both floating structures on the new waters, and with aquaponic technology on the land edge.

pROPOSED waterfront COMMUNITY DRAMMEN Project type: Planning/ landscape design Individual work / Landscape Studio in AHO / Completed in 2012 / Software: ArcGIS, AutoCAD, Photoshop & Rhinoceros
Brief on Project The situation of site in Drammen have some environment problems. Firstly, it locates at river side and meet water problem because of flooding; secondly, sound pollution effect the site because train station set behind of site; thirdly, the site disconnect with city centre. But water is also positive thing in this site. So, in my project, I tried to deal with problems as above and fouce on using water to make landscape and developing the quality of site. From mapping project, I got information about rain water path. So, my hypothesis was changing landform to deal with flooding situation and also connect with water path. On the one hand, new landform provide more protection area for construction, on the other hand, rain water can be bring into site to crate more landscape for people who living there. The function of site will be changed from industry area to living area. I tried to retain almost all dwellings and also some factories. Because the typology of factory is different with other buildings in Drammen, so, I was thinking to take advantages from factories and historical garden to built public district which would be attractive

The function of site will be changed from industry area to living area. I tried to retain almost all dwellings and also some factories. Because the typology of factory is different with other buildings in Drammen, so, I was thinking to take advantages from factories and historical garden to built public district which would be attractive.

Wetland Design
Design Process
1. separate the land into 3 different height to protect area from flooding
2. tracing the rainwater path which is possible change into wetland
5. creat the public space on the edge of each land and
6. follow the landform to put building into site, Maxmum capacity is 3000units
3. reserve the historical gargen, exsiting factories and graveyard in site
4. design the landform base on exsting building and rain water path.
7. in order to get more sunlight for residents, change the direction of building
8. final building planning

aim of design - protecting the building from the flooding area - purifying rain water beform it enters river - bring water into site and connect with landscape
CONCEPT In order to protect area from floodings, and take advanteges from rich rain water, my idea is using “cut and fill� to separate site into 3 part with different elevation(3m, 4.5m, 6m). This small terrace provide safe land for buildings on river bank and also creat wetland landscape by rain water for resident there.
PUBLIC SPACE
FUNCTION OF PUBLIC BUILDINGS
Land with 3m heigh
This part locates on river bank and it focus on public service buildings. This is important water transportation center and provide good connection between both sides of river and city center as well. I reserved most factpries and rebuilt them in public service functions.

RECREATION
BUSINESS
HEALTH CENTER
FINANCIAL SERVICE
TRANSPORTATION
ROWHOUSES TYPOLOGY Land with 4.5m heigh
I kept most of existing residences on this part, and design to plan rowhouses on this area. All of buildings in this area are less than 4 floors to adapt old buildings.
MIDDLE-RISE BUILDINGS TYPOLOGY Land with 6m heigh
The middle-rise building with mixed funcion s designed in this area, in order to protect the whole site from noisy of train station which locates next to the site.
DNA Public Art and Landscape design on Core Zone of the New City of Gulin Project type: Landscape design / public art Individual Design Work / CAFA Public Art Studio Work / Completed in 2011 / Software Using: CAD & 3Dmax
LOCATION
SICHUAN PROVINCE
- Judging from the time being, the terrain is high in both north and south and low in the middle. - The middle terrain is broad, where there are three main roads winding through. - Gulin River runs through it, cutting it into two parts.
DESIGN AREA
Brief on Project In recent years, most Chinese cities are undergoing transition. As for how to planand design new city zones, we chose to conduct studies on Gulin County, a typical example among those cities. Situated in Sichuan Province, it plans to a new city zone to the East of its ancient city zone. I planned and designed its landscape of core areas of its new zone.
Design principles: Approach to public art works involved in urban planning, creating new urban landscape.
Problem Analysis
Gulin town planning requires from two aspects 1. The transmission image of the city's own special 2. In order to adapt to the changes resulting from urban development and innovation
Concept
D N A DNA is the carrier of genetic information Gene Gene is a genetic effect of DNA fragments Gene has two characteristics, namely, a copy of his faithful, to maintain the basic biological characteristics; Second, genes can be "mutated"
Image
Select the double helix structure of DNA to the carrier of symbolic image of the city Gulin, Gulin will belong to the "gene" arranged around it
Gene duplication------unique Gulin city presence
Gene mutation-----present issues about the city, requiring customized changes
Special relation between architectures and streets
Scale sense of public space
Design process 1. Theme How to design two main lines Functions in need? leisure education business Accommodation work Public accommodation in need? Mall, Hotel, Square, Museum, park, Folk Experience, Office Building , Restaurant Entertainment Area 2.Imagery The area which has a function of entertainment should be large, so the two respects should be based on the principle of entertainments to run through the whole site.
Design Method 1. Partition Method Regionalize the two main lines and divide areas from the center point. And conduct radial segmentation with theses sub-areas
Site Analysis
2. View Analysis The height difference of the two sides is 20 meters. I want to maintain sight permeability during sub-area design. Therefore building height is limited with 20 meters high. NEW CITY OLD CITY
3. Optic Center Through visual analysis of the high point, visual center point is set. These visual center points are the emphasis of the whole sub-areas. 4. Functional Division
The county develops from west to east along the river valley.
There are two main east-to-west traffic roads across the city and one south-north main landscape axis .
This landscape axis, the only integral south-north axis for the future Gulin County, is of paramount importance in this city.
3. Structural analysis model 1. Analysis of regional location
2. Functional stratified analysis model
4. Detial design
model analysis
5. Local building structure model analysis Because the city is on mountains,the relationship between streets and buildings is not a simple dyadic relationship, which makes it more interesting.
After having known the living conditions of local residences we find that the public spaces in this city can no longer satisfy them. With the development of this city .we should care more about the importance of the public spaces.
