The project aims to create a continuous and vibrant public space that combines urban com-munity with the natural environment. Through water-sensitive interventions, address the site's coastal habitat, stormwater and flooding issues. Integrate resilient design with site conditions to prevent the impacts of sea-level rise and storm surge, promote sustainable development, environmental restoration, enhance site biodiversity, and achieve coexistence between human and natural water.

I think about using smooth concrete material. In a lot of areas, Cycle-paths are made of concrete instead of asphalt. Because concrete paths generally require no maintenance for decades.

Walkway
People would journey through the farm and market before arriving at the picnic area, to make visible journey of food from seed to plate. Provide for publicly accessible open spaces for the people, and they can choose to sit on the lawn surrounded by trees. In addition to the physical health benefits, access to nature and open space is also linked to improved mental health.

I worked with the team to complete the scheme design, contributing ideas and suggestions, organizing design concepts and logic, and assisting the project leader in optimizing the scheme. I was responsible for the design and drawing of landscape architecture under the guidance of the project leader and professional designers, and successfully completed over 50 drafts. Additionally, I provided project assistance by assisting the project leader in organizing design proposals and reporting materials for all project stages, as well as carrying out other tasks assigned by the project leader. I played an important role in the project, offering strong support for its smooth execution.
