Preface With a background in fine arts and landscape architecture, I find my interests fall into a wide range of categories. I consider myself equal parts artist and designer and strive to pursue a multidisciplinary career. Knowing that the context of landscape architecture has almost unlimited possibilities, I believe it has the opportunity to link divided boundaries between art, society, ecology and economy. I am eager to incorporate my inspiration from other artistic endeavors into my design works and aspire to sculpt spaces that evoke particular emotion and support the cohabitation of human and biota by using diverse materials or medias in an artful and meaningful way.

PCB Remediation EPA has develped two dredging strategies in order to remove the PCB contamination from the harbor by 2030 - Hydraulic Dredging and Confined Aquatic Disposal (CAD). However, displacement is not a long term solution. Instead, phytostabilization technology as a low cost and more environmental option has also proved its potential for PCB remediation. Through active uptakes, plants eventually become the living container of PCBs.

Principles of Phyto Strategy Tidal Island Increase the acerage of the intertidal zone to provide more potential habitat of phytospecies. Improve Intertidal PCB Resistency Strengthen PCB bioaccumulating quality of existing wetland according to its vulnerability. Urban Phytobed Establish phyto corridor along the port front industrial area in order to reduce the possibility of airborne PCBs migrating inland.

Terrestrial Reminiscence
Revealing the Terrestrial Transformation The two current parking lots situate at the conjunction of Washington street and E Berkeley Street, which was once to be the “Washington Neck” and was submerged by sea back in 1800s. By collapsing the ground and re-interpreting the historical relationship between land and sea, the depth of space, as well as time, is revealed. The ancient gateway now turns into social connector, bound the surrounding neighbourhoods and encourage habitation.

Providence Sanctuary Site Ecology And Design
53
Providence, RI 54
Ecological Restoration The site was originally a marshland. Overtime, it has been gradually reclaimed for the development. Along with this process, the river ecosystem get damaged, which leads to a severe lost of marine species’ habitat, such as the snow egret. The design seeks to recover the impaired habitat of snow egret and encourage cohabitation.
55
Food Chain
Habitat On the marsh surface, dead plant matter is colonized by bacteria, fungi and protozoans, making rich food.
During low tide, egrets are likely to stay on the mudflat and hunt crustaceans.
At high tide, silversides swim onto the flooded marsh to feed on detritus and invertebrates. 25% Crustaceans During high tide, egrets are likely to hunt silverside and rest on the top of upland plants. Small invertebrates living in the marsh consumes detritus and other invertebrates.
SNOWY EGRET Size
75% Fish (Juvenile)
INLAND SILVERSIDE
Migration
Egretta thula has shown an increased preference for island nest sites in urbanized, coastal estuaries. Egrets choose urbanized locations over isolated locations, because isolated locations have more predators.

Usually summer is the Snowy Egret’s breeding time. After breeding season, they depart in september to migrate to winter areas.

Since snow egret is extremely sensitive about human existence, design attempts to establish a system of accessibility - a way to control the distance between human and egret according to its characteristics. ACCESSIBILITY

Acequia and Settlements Upstream
Spanish American Settlement Pattern Early spanish settlers established the Acequia system to support the massive scale farming. The topography of the land dictated acequia’s layout, agricultural lots were then determined to orient perpendicular toward it in order to utilize the water more eďŹƒciently. Coralles Siphon
Perception Shift Angostura Diversion Weir
Due to the residential transition of Albuquerque, the notion of water culture has gradually lost. Dicthes start to get abandoned; Farmers start to sell the water rights; Residents barely know about the culture of Acequia; The accessibility to the ditches becomes ambiguous.

Threshold Interpretation The exploration started with a piece of paper and twine in order to understand their potential combination logic and characteristic of the material. The logic is then applied to model the phenomenal condition according to the observation.

Acoustic Interpretation of Wind The site-speciďŹ c glass installation explores the way people perceive the ever-existing natural phenomena - wind. It is laied out at the intertidal zone, with its opening facing against wind direction. Each glass chamber is handcrafted - gathered hot glass blown into wooden mold. A recorder is placed inside each chamber to collect the wind echo and ambient sound. The data is then processed digitally into a three dimensional wind ďŹ eld.
