THEME OF THE PORTFOLIO:TOPOLOGICAL RELATIONSHIP
My portfolio is concerned with topological relationships. In my view, topology is the balance and natural order that is maintained in the dynamic development of space. There are elements within the space that can control or influence this topology and the feeling that the space brings to people changes as a result. In my design, I mainly focus on elements such as materials, site mechanisms, plants, etc. By dismantling, combining and superimposing these elements, I create a topological connection within the space.

Location: Hongkong, China Type: Individual work Duration: 2021.12-2022.2 Skills: Gis/Ps/Rhino/AI/ID/Lumion
Aim&Objectives: continuous vegetation/ green rate/TOD system
The site is located in Hong Kong, China, a former airport that is currently not being used in a reasonable way. Hong Kong is a densely populated city where public and green spaces are gradually disappearing, and where residents demand more convenient transportation and public spaces with higher rates of green.
The design makes use of the TOD model of transport mode, with ecological green belts running through different functional areas to create a more convenient link between the city and people's lives. At the same time, the combination of point, line and surface forms of green cover effectively enhances the living environment.
With the Kai Tak Airport as the backbone, the rapid development of the surrounding area has created a city of flyovers. Now that the airport has been grounded, only Pier Park remains. Kai Tak is still waiting for a new lease on life.
Demographic analysis
Dense crowds need more convenient transportation.
Maximize the limited land area to build a more comfortable home.
Provide complete infrastructures such as medical, commercial.
Provide excellent indoor and outdoor sports sites.
Improve the barren environment and plant trees.
Provide resources for young children and the general public.

Type: Academic/ Individual project Duration: 2022.4-2022.7
Skills: Gis/PS/Rhino/AI/ID
Aim&Objective: Ecological Restoration/ Water Purification
Jiangxinzhou, located in the Nanjing section of the Yangtze River, is facing serious water pollution challenges due to the irrational use of pesticides and fertilisers on farmland on both banks and the unreasonable discharge of factory wastewater.
Mountain Dragonfly
The three most common species of dragonflies in China are mainly found in the provinces around the Yellow River and Yangtze River systems. Of these, the Yangtze River basin has five areas where the yucca dragonfly is mainly found, where the water system is dense and of good quality.

According to my research, dragonflies live in different wetlands and are increasingly used as bioindicators to assess water quality and its changes. This design captures the link between dragonflies and water quality by reducing the use of pesticides and chemical fertilisers, while introducing native wetland plants for tertiary water purification to enhance the water bodies of the site, which can be visually reflected by the number of dragonflies

The government's plans for the river island, the central part of the site has been developed mainly for residential, commercial and educational uses, while the fringe areas of the island are currently unused. Therefore, the undeveloped area at the entrance to the Yangtze River Tunnel was chosen for the design and planning.

The site is planned into four main zones: ecological restoration zone, ecological buffer zone, ecological interaction zone and treatment effect experience zone. The fish ponds and mulberry planting areas within the site are retained while continuing the industry, and bird watching houses, dragonfly stands and other artefacts are added to increase interactivity.

Today I dug out a lot of fertilizer from the pool.
I realise that the ecology of the area is getting better and better, birds and insects that I haven't seen before are appearing.
The water is so clear, I can see many dragonfly larvae ！

Aims/Objectives: Site commemoration, Eco-restoration/Park design
The Wuxi Logistics Port is located in the downstream of the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal and the site is surrounded by a large amount of industrial heritage and agricultural land. At the same time, the site is located in an area where there are serious problems with metal contamination in the soil.
This design extracts the farmland, cultural and industrial texture of the site, combining and superimposing these elements to protect the potential industrial and agricultural features of the site, stringing them together to form hints in the site, while planting aspen trees and installing water purification ponds for ecological restoration to improve the soil contamination.

The economic growth comes a variety of pollution. Waste gas from factories causes air pollution, sewage from streams causes water pollution, and industrial wastes continue to pollute the soil.

The navigation function of the Grand Canal directly contributed to the prosperity and development of Wuxi's industries, such as rice markets and handmade products such as kilns

A series of ecological policies and measures have been implemented.
In the early days of primitive agricultural society, this was a large area of wasteland farmland that was cleared for basic agricultural activities.
After the reform and opening up, industry began to develop rapidly, and a lot of farmland was used to build factories.
With the development of industry, the rapid expansion of the city gradually developed towards Taihu Lake. Industrial and domestic sewage was discharged into Taihu Lake, leading to the gradual deterioration of the ecology of Taihu Lake.

STRATEGIES APPLIED TO SITE DESIGN
ANALYSIS STRATEGIES CONCEPT
Extend the cultural charm of the upstream and downstream reaches of the ancient canal.
SITE
From farmland to industrial intensive areas, combining local history, culture, farmland and industrial structures, effective ecological and memorable measures are taken to develop the site.
MORPHOLOGY CHANCE
The site is surrounded by farmland, green space, industrial and cultural sites. But as the factories moved out, the farmland was abandoned, the attraction of the site diminished, the value was obscured, and the various textures within the site were isolated and could not be integrated.

"TIMBER SKYLINE"
The Modular Timber-frame Residential Building.
Location: Chicago, United States
Type: Individual project Duration: 2022.10-2022.11
Skills: Gis/PS/AI/ID/D5/Keyshot
Aim&Objective: Timber Frame Construction ,Modular,the Future of Housing
The site is located on the banks of the river in Chicago and has a good infrastructure around it, with plenty of room for development and is well suited for residential property. Modular construction allows for efficient and environmentally friendly construction of houses.
The design of the modular building seeks variation in form and house type within a uniform form . At the same time, according to my research, wood construction has many advantages and will become the dominant material in the future housing market. Wooden construction is carbon-solid which could help combat some climate events such as global warming

TYPICAL PLANS
Typical plan - low rise
Each floor has private and public areas where people of different professions live together. The public activity areas start from the lifts where there are cinema spaces, relaxation bars, 24-hour vending machines, etc., allowing people to live in more open spaces, reducing the distance between neighbours and bringing residents closer to each other. However, the interior of each unit is a private area, free from interference with each other.
Typical plan - mid rise
Typical plan - high rise
There are communal spaces on each floor for residents to move around and the lift has a wide view out to the river outside. Residents socialise in the public spaces to strengthen relationships and eliminate feelings of isolation.
