When I was doing design, I would imagine myself as a user. I would think of myself as a playing child, a student, or a crossing office-worker nearby, and so on. I will be taking my feelings and needs with these different identities in my design. I hope my design are on my side, always around me. I will be there for this purpose: to explore and feel.............

More channels, more possibilities
Present condition & Existing problems
1. River channel does not contact tightly with surrounding 2. Traffic laying around the River, only through the viaduct across settlements, the status quo can only be connected by elevated the River on both sides of a main road. highway. Peripheral location interrelatedness is poor.
3. After planning, the river channel will widen to both sides of the 4. Status of plants is not ideal, and the advantages and disadvantages of species distribution is not uniform River, water space will become larger.
Solutions & Strategy
1. Increase water space: hydrophilic space creation has always been as fundamental objectives of priority, created with short of water in different area of space is an important city with its surrounding resources in close liaison will be important in the design of urban waterfront hydrophilic elements reduced to space 2. Shoreline diversity: status of revetment plain and simple, Visual sense of monotonous, in order to avoid repetitive bulkhead form of over-saturation of, and giving the Viewer to create good feelings. Reconstruction of partial bulkhead is designed, soft + hardened hands method in ecological revetment main bulkhead form, creating a natural and harmonious landscape. Meanwhile, through the reshaping of the bulkhead, the associated viewing platform, increasing public participation of the hydrophilic region. 3. Set the landscape node (control point): every once in a while-flow systems to create a node elements into the city as well as multicultural cultural exhibition possible. 4. The penetration of waterfront space and space transportation links: maximize the through platforms on the basis of hydrophilic space, aerial walkway, Corridor bridges and other road systems and waterfront space cleverly links intersection where setting up a small square, meet the needs of open space distribution.

Design goals - Objectives by requirements
Site located in zhumadian city, Henan province, southwest of China, mainly in the North District, Southern development zone, surrounded mainly by residential land, and a large business sites and several kindergartens, primary and secondary schools. The Geographic is complex.
From the above design philosophy to analysis and deduce the idea—Urban connection 1. Create an open urban space Maximizing connections between buildings and streets and promote economic development around the river. 2. Explore the river destination So that different people can get into this unique urban riverside landscape and build a bridge between the North and South of the city, and restoring wetlands, create public spaces, flood and develop a livable Riverfront communities merged into one. 3. Recheck the channel Our cities must plan to re-examine the infrastructure system in response to 20th century urbanization and climate change brings more frequent violent storms. 4. Speed up the interaction between man and nature The reform of the urban River, so that the community and the environment and to improve, creating an important opportunity for the exchange of harmony between man and nature.

Design analysis
Vegetation planning 1. Suitable land and tree: selected local native trees (well grown), and selection of wet endurance in embankment near the river side tree species. 2. Principle of landscape features: Use levees near the side of the river to create a waterfront landscape, planting a variety of aquatic plants for people to watch, in addition, one side of the dyke near the city create a temperate monsoon climate plants, in Joe-combined with the neighboring natural on the choices of shrub-grass vegetation in harmony. 3. Species diversity principle: achieving fairness in the choice of diversification, but also to note in the design meet the requirements of various plants for microclimate. Create plant community diversity on an active role in maintaining the diversity of local fauna. 4. Economic principle: to select the local native trees. Rare ornamental trees to be planted in an area of management and maintenance level is relatively high. Varieties of aquatic plant selection can purify water as much as possible.
Conclusion 03
Urban River as an important urban ecological corridor, in addition to undertake flood prevention, transportation and other important functions, should also give full play to the river and improve the urban ecological environment and landscape quality and potential function of the spatial organization tasks. While important presentation of the film and television culture and the image of the city. This planning concept has always been around, zhumadian city, humanity and nature, eco-cycle will feature urban context characteristics of continuity and inheritance. In the form language creating the urban line connector, linking old and new districts.

This node is located in the northwest part of the river channel of the entire course of bifurcation point. Facing the problem of soil erosion and the surrounding commercial environmental disturbance. This node selected big area as ecological wetland. Use wetland vegetation to reach the ecological soil reinforce purpose, meanwhile, set vacated stereo traffic with landscape elements. In addition, the bridge can promote the communication between two sides, offering diverse space experience.

Design plots located in the south of Wudaokou-Business district with the great compact of Population. So the site need a multiple surroundings: environment, buildings for commercial and residential district and some relative institution and universities. This requires a smooth transportation between the function and landscape. Site contradictions mainly appeared in the railway rail City slitting venues, as well as commercial district green binding and classical culture. Finally we choose the extraction of classical culture art ‘Four-tech, Five-sense’, as the literary elements connected together. The structure and morphology of modern landscape architecture are combined to ensure the overall regional modern In harmony with environment, at the same time, the organic combination of ancient and modern culture. In addition, we deal the integrity of Railway Settlement, at the level of urban planning analysis, to obtain more efficient transportation conditions and more complete properties. all preparations are forwards to the urban planning overall green axis.

Binhai New Area(38°40′N~39°00′N, 117°20′E~118°00′E) locates in the east of the central city of Tianjin. It is 2270km2, with a coastline of 153km and sea area of 3000 km2. The average annual temperature is 12.6°C, the average annual precipitation is 604.3km, the altitude of this area is between 1m and 3m, ground gra-dient is lower than 1/10000, the main geomorphic types are Binhai plain, lagoon and beach. The soil can be classi- fied into meadow solonchak and saline meadow, with general characteristic of cling soil texture, bad vent-ing, water permeability, high percent of salt content.
