Follow the Voice of Land
I consider landscape design as a process of responding to voices
These voices are about the need for the form, ecology, culture and industry of the land. Therefore, shaping the landscape can draw from these elements and is intended to help the creatures that live on the land.
In my portfolio, I show how I think and design from this idea. Depending on the characteristics of the site my projects are approached from different thinking perspectives.

STOCKYARDS ALONG THE HUANGPU RIVER
Site location: Shanghai Scale: 6 ha Type: Individual work Instructor: Chunmei Li 03.2022
A large number of stockyards along the Huangpu River are abandoned in the process of urban renewal, which left a place either friendly to ecology nor people. However, the machines, tracks and materials on the sites can be good landscape elements for the site to regenerate.
MORE AND MORE STOCKYARDS ARE BEING ABANDONED

I hope to form the landscape space of the site by exploring the possible units formed by using the original machines, tracks and materials of the site. I paid special attention to the brushes formed by different movements of the machine.

MINE PIT FISH PONDS RENOVATION
The combination of villages, fish ponds, cropland, low mountains shaped the style and features of Huzhou's water town. By analyzing the texture of the site area, I extracted 6 kinds of landscape texture. I will restore the landscape of the site by studying the relationship between the elements, natural formation and cultural connotation.

THE CONFLICT BETWEEN URBANIZATION AND CARBON NEUTRALITY
The increasingly severe ecological and environmental problems and the attention of international organizations show the urgency of the development direction and the urgency of the goal of "carbon neutrality". As a developed city with the highest annual carbon emissions in the world, in addition to the contradiction between land resources and population density, Hong Kong's energy structure has a shortage of local energy and excessive dependence on imported fossil energy.

The core principle of Carbon Nuetural Oriented-Development (C.O.D) is to reconcile the need for urban development with the need to achieve carbon neutrality by planning the carbon neutrality index of the land in advance and then incorporating it into the specific use plan.

The buildings, energy facilities and green spaces of urban cluster 1 have been partially built. Carbon neutral ratio is low
The ratio gradually increase with urban construction. After the construction is completed, it will reach the regional target.
Carbon emissions in areas dominated by commerce are large, and wind energy should be selected as much as possible under the condition of floor height, because it can offset carbon emissions to the greatest extent.
04 FLOODING IN NANHU, HANGZHOU

SOUTH LAKE DETENTION AREA
The site is within the submergence range of a once-in-a-decade flood.
the site
North side – South Tiaoxi River flooding
The section of East Tiaoxi River in Yuhang is called South Tiaoxi River, which has a large rainfall catchment area in the upper mountainous area and is under great flooding pressure during the rainy season.
planned river bottom elevation: 6.6m the river bottom width: 50m the maximum water level: 7.27m in 5 years, 8.28m in 10 years, 8.4m in 20 years and 9.64m in 100 years
Key flood control works in East Tiaoxi River basin. a controlled catchment area of 603km2 an average annual precipitation of 1564 mm an average annual runoff of 482 million m2
South side – South Lake flood control
South Lake Flood Control Zone covers an area of 4.7km2 Reconstructed in 1993, the existing flood gates are 6 holes×6m, with a design flood flow of 650m3/s and a flood control volume of 0.24 billion m3
Flood opening level: Yuhang 8.4m
AREAS EASY TO BE FLOODED AFTER THE WATER LEVEL RISES
According to incomplete records of historical data, there were 198 years of floods from 278 to 1727, including 11 years of floods from 1987 to 2005, which occurred once every 2 years. In the 55 years from 1951 to 2005, the major waterlogging occurred once every 10 years, the moderate waterlogging occurred once every 8 years, and the minor waterlogging occurred once every 6 years. The South and North Lake detention areas were diverted 27 times.

-With the rice fields as the background, we added straw bales, persimmon trees and scarecrows to enrich the surrounding environment and make the pavilion more integrated with the rice fields. -Inside the pavilion, we also placed straw bushes and plant walls.

-The light amplifies the irregular light-transmitting design of the surrounding eaves and roof.
-With this design, we wanted to bring the light from nature into the pavilion with shade function, so that the shadows and the light can mingle in the same space.
-At the same time, the various forms of the roof and wood slats allow the floor of the pavilion to be filled with light and shadow changes over time, following the changing angle of sunlight throughout the day, like a natural performance that enriches the unique experience of the users.
SPACE SEPERATION
-Through the placement of seating and the separation of low wall grids, the space guides users to choose between resting and talking and walking activities.
VIEW FROM SURROUNDING AREAS

-By increasing the twists and turns and height differences of the path, using transparent stacks, and adding structures to frame the scenic frame, users can reap the pleasure of entering the pavilion
-Through the design of wooden strips and light transmission, we present a modern but natural top structure.
