01 CULTURAL REEMERGENCE PennDesign LARP 601 Studio Type: Landscape Architecture Design / Individual Work Date: Sept - Dec, 2017 Location: Ringwood, New Jersey Instructor: Molly Bourne
The project locates on the area which is the only one in United States listed as a superfund site for twice due to the ineffective cleaning of the paint sludge dumped by Ford in the abandoned mines. The contamination has threatened the lives of local people, the Ramapough Indians, for years. This project tries to find a way that can remediate the site environmentally, and more importantly, reflect the mining history of the site and the culture of the Ramapough Indians through landscape.

EXISTING CONTAMINATED MEADOW LAND WITH FENCE The existing O’Connor Mine and Landfill is all covered by meadow. Residents are not allowed to enter, though it used to be the playground for local Rampough people a decade ago. Therefore the clean-up plan aims to have total excavation of the landfill to return a clean and safe site to the community.

One of the program on O’Connor would be the Pow Wow Plaza to show the respect for the Ramapough culture.

02 PRODUCTIVE TRAILS PennDesign LARP 701 Studio Type: Landscape Architecture Design / Individual Work Date: Sept - Dec, 2018 Location: Naguabo, Puerto Rico Instructor: Nicholas Pevzner
The project locates in Naguabo Municipality in Puerto Rico. With unique natural environment from ridge to reef, Naguabo has all those distinct landscapes, from forest, pasture, to beach. But the resources are underutilized. The project aims to improve the resilience and sustainability of Naguabo by proposing a productive trail system that connects the underutilized land then develops agro-tourism and agro-forestry. The design ultimately lands in two sites that are chosen to be the anchors of the system to explain how each programs related to each other.

Local Scale - Naguabo Pueblo - Eco Education Park
The Eco Education Park locates at the town center of Naguabo along the Santiago River. It is an integration of agro-forestry and agro-tourism programs and it also provides open space as well as community-support programs to be the community hub. In daily life, the Eco Education Park serves as the education center of agro-forestry techniques and show the local products to tourists. Under emergency, it would become the community shelter to support the needs in terms of food and electricity.

Local Scale - Naguabo Florida - Eco Gateway
The Eco Gateway locates at Naguabo Florida. Florida is the closest town to the El Yunque Rainforest. Therefore it could be the Gateway to the Rainforest in terms of tourism, research and transportation, of course. And geographically it shares the similar temperature, soils, and sunlight with the Rainforest. The landcover is basically the secondary forest growing from the Rainforest. Thus it shows great potential in forest-nursery, forest-farming and even biofuel generation. These programs also support the daily-life needs and emergency needs for both local people and tourists.

03 RESHAPING BOULEVARD PennDesign LARP 602 Studio Type: Urban Design / Team Work Date: Jan - May, 2018 Location: Queens, New York Instructor: Megan Born Teammate: Shanshan Bai
The project locates on the Northern Boulevard in Queens, New York City. The design is based on the proposal of the Tri-Boro Line which connects the three boroughs in New York City. The new Tri-Boro Station would definitely influence the future development of surrounding area. In this project, connections between Tri-Boro station and existing subway station offer the opportunities to reshape the car-oriented boulevard into a pedestrian friendly space and therefore become the major public infrastructure for the area.

The project aims to connect the old and the new city areas serving for both local residents and tourists by creating a functional urban space. The ways people choose to explore a urban space are uncertain. Besides creating certain routes to connect different area, the mix of function in buildings and the variation of terrain add up the uncertainty. Uncertainty can happen in each crossing of different functions and height level. This is an urban space full of surprise and various experience.

Nodes of Crossing There are three nodes in the design, connecting streams from different directions. Each node contains different portion of commercial, workshop and community center. People may not follow their origin purpose when they come to these nodes. They can choose their routes or stay in the nodes to meet other people. The uncertainty of routes and behaviors create more fun for people to experience.

05 ACTIVATING TRANSMISSION 2015 Sino-Japan Five University Joint Design and Architecture Design Workshop Type: Architecture Renovation Design / Individual Work Date: Mar - May, 2017 Location: Guangzhou,China Instructor: Su Ping
Millions of industrial buildings in China are facing renovation. These renovations include both exterior and functional transition but keep or even magnify their characteristics to recall people’s specific memory of the particular site. The project is a renovation design for a power station in a historical industrial park, turning it into an modern art museum with multiple urban functions which make it more complicate than before in order to allow more possible events take place. This project chooses the transmission belt of the power station as basic elements to carry on the industrial history as well as develop new content.

Transmission With Exhibition Along the red transmission route which also serves as art gallery, varied functional space appears orderly. Just like the coal go through the power station by transmission, Visitors can follow the red transmission route to explore the whole museum and recreation facilities.

The project is the final assignment of the elective Simulated Natures. Based on the computational simulation of the water and wind at the bank of Delaware River, the installations are proposed to be the footholds for local and migrating birds, as well as visualize the flow of water and wind. The project largely used Grasshopper and Rhino CFD as design tools.

Shifting Grids presents two curved pathways with three activity centers, intending to weave daily activities into the Bank area, creating colorful and exiting riverfront for Cincinnati. The three proposed activity centers together with the paths of Shifting Grids connect people and attract flows from multiple directions to the project site.
