Sangam used to be an abandoned mountain of waste. Even though many efforts were taken to convert it to the Landfill eco-park and inhabitable space, the heavy pollution remains a long-lasting issue to this area. The key to this problem relies on the remediation of utilizing of plants and landscape to purify the contaminated soil. However, this process requires a significant number of mature trees with stronger root system to cover the entire area, and the transportation from nursery in the suburban of Seoul to Sangam will dramatically increase the budget. Thus, we proposed the concept integrated the eco-park with the incubator and nursery. In 2030, this site will not only provide a spectacular public realm for the citizens, but also continuously incubate phytoremediation trees to remadiate the surrounding polluted area.

Concept

Our design can provide plants various environments to meet the requirement at every lifecycle stage.The tree seedlings are vulnerable and sensitive to the environment, which requires special care and handling. In this case,the oil tanks in our site are converted to large fully equipped ‘incubators’ providing ideal shelters for them. Once the seedlings grow bigger, they will be moved out to the nursery and become parts of the landscape. Because of this process, our design is able to create an ever-changing landscape. After the trees are fully grown, they will be transplanted to the surroundings,such as Sangam eco park to remediate the contaminated landfills. Eventually, the ‘used to be’ mountain of waste will turn to the mountain of trees and lives in a much effective way.

Sangam used to be a heavily polluted mountain of waste.

The key to this problem relies on the PhytoRemediation: utilization of landscape to purify the contaminated soil.

A NEW STREET DESIGN STRATEGY FOR BIG BLOCK IN SALT Located in the heart of Salt Lake City, block sixty-nine and seventy are bounded by three major urban arteries, which connect city Creek Park in the north to center city in the south. This site has great potential to attract people due to the variety of buildings and public spaces nearby. Despite its various spaces, one of the major concerns is the problem of super big block, super wide traffic system, and single function blocks in the city. Thus, our idea is to break down the super-sized scale and increase the diversity on site. The streets, pedestrians, and alleyways in our design are able to accommodate different activities, what’s more, to become the extension to the neighborhood.

PARK

CITY CREEK

1. FAST SPEED. 2. MEDIUM SPEED. 3. SLOW SPEED

The idea of diversity can be achieved by the MULTIPLY strategy. Based on people’s moving speed, we divide the site into three tracks as slow track, medium track, and fast track. While the medium track is designed for slow speed walkers, the fast track is for bicyclists and runners. Meanwhile, the slow track is the rest landscape area weaving the other two together.

Furthermore, we assign three prototypes: Leisure, Art, and Activity, to each track. As a result, three tracks multiplies three prototypes allow nine types of nodes with unique identities on the whole site. With this simple but creative strategy, we are able to provide diverse streets-capes full of interaction among users and possibilities in future development.

LIGHT FABRICATION

The essence of a memorial is there for people to remember, and our design achieve it through two treatments.

through the thick “smoke”, representing the vulnerable victims whose lives were on the brink.

The first one is strong and direct – recreate the scene where fire and smoke devoured the innocent young lives. The shape of the memorial abstractly imitates the smoke roaring out of the window, and wrapping around the whole building façade. Seen closer, the material resembles the texture of fabrics that victims used to create shirtwaist, the very materials they worked with to make a living and also lose life to. Carefully placed inside the memorial are 146 mirrors. Shone by the sun, blinks of light will filter

The second treatment is very subtle. Each mirror placed in the memorial has one victim’s name carved on it, and is carefully angled so in the afternoon, close to the time where the fire started, sunlight will be reflected, lighting the victims’ names on the sidewalk. In Manhattan, the closely seated buildings and narrow streets set the stage for changing lights, and the interplay of shadows and sunlight become a part of the pedestrian experience of the city. Thus the memorial tries to blend itself into this experience

and enhance it, reminding people that the safe working environment, shortened working hour and pleasant afterwork walk were made possible by the sacrifice of the workers in triangle factory.

Rio Sprout Type: 701 Studio Date: 09/2011-12/2011 Instructor: James Corner & Richard Kennedy

Project Description:

This studio is to develop a city park for Rio De Janeiro. The site is highly isolated from the existing city grid. The approach is to have multiple connection growing into the site, providing not only accessibility to waterfront but also various experience just like a sprout blooming along the waterfront.

Built Element

By analysizing five distinctive city zones of the surrounding context, the idea is to extend the character in consideration of continuous spacial quality as well as localized programs to really activate the waterfront. Hard Surface

Exotic Garden I use Mediterranean, Tropical, sub-Tropical and native British plants in my design which all adapt easily to the Brazilian climate. Just as Burle Marx did in the past 50 years, the garden would be part of an extension of Brazilian and European nursery network. This would become the Neoecological education center in Rio.

Landscape Studio Type: LA Studio Design Date: 09/08-11/08 Instructor:Liu Zhicheng

Project Description:

The site is located at the campus of BJFU. It is a nursery for seasonal studio of horticulture. The frequency of usage is limitied for its closure. With the dual feature of experimental and ornamantal of horticulture, the purpose of design is to transfer the site into an open platform not only for the students of landscape architecture but all the students at campus.
