GROWTH WITH SPACE Landscape Architecture Portfolio of Ruichen Zhu 2016-2021
GROWTH WITH SPACE The stone wall paintings from Altamira show that humans have been using artistic methods to illustrate the environment of hunting since at least 12,000 years ago, leading to my thinking of art and landscape. No matter how technology changed and developed over time, sketching ideas is always essential for artistic expression (same as landscape and architecture). Cultural artifacts continue accumulating by human beings’ thoughts along with technology development. It is a record of the times - whether it is made by hand or machine.
LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE -GROWTH OF TIME AND SPACE, LEARNING FROM THE CHANGE.

01 GROWING ON THE RUINS Time : 2019 - 2020 Site Design Type : Individual Work Location : Baton Rouge, USA Size: 45 Acres
Aim and objective: Plank road has long since lost the thriving urban scene of the past. The route today has lost its connectivity and identity as a city. It is difficult for people to find a relationship here. The goal is to re-establish a new landscape and restore walkable and safe streets. Provide activities and public services for the surrounding residents to form new connections with the urban landscape.

Abandon Structure
The main problems on the site are abandoned buildings and pedestrian walkways split by fast lanes due to the large number of vehicles passing by. Pedestrians and neighbors cannot pass through this section. According to research, many industrial plants have been abandoned due to the economic recession in the area. There is a lack of shopping places and public spaces in the surrounding area.

The inspiration comes from the connection of suture the wound. For the high-speed car section, first, I chose to use a bridge to connect the space cut by the road. Next, join both sides of the road by stitching. Finally, routes allow the old streets to rebuild a walkable city by re-using abandoned buildings.

02 WATER CATCHER - COMMUNITY CONTAINER Time : 2018 Ecology&Terrain Design Type : Individual Work Location : Baton Rouge, US Size: 6ha
Aim and objective: This project is local at 935 south 11th Street in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, in the southern part of the United States. This location is located under the viaduct. Every summer in the local area was accompanied by much rainfall and hot weather. Due to poor drainage in this area, floods often occur. In addition, the lack of plants and shelter under the viaduct prevents people from walking on the hot land. Moreover, rainfall will wash the bridge deck, and the rainwater will carry many industrial pollutants discharged on the bridge deck by the exhaust of automobiles, which will be brought to the surface of the river and groundwater, thus causing local groundwater pollution. Therefore, our goal is to establish a wetland park to use plants and terrain to guide and buffer the accumulation of rainwater and avoid or reduce floods. It can also purify the local environment and create a suitable environment for plant education, wedding celebrations, and leisure for neighbors, schools, and churches around.

Baton Rouge, as one of the areas with high rainfall in the United States, in expressway park, as the most important highway in the city, the problem of stagnant water in the rainy season br ought great inconvenience to car traffic in the rainy season (students go to school) , Work for young people, walks for the elderly) Pedestrians have become a problem, and they will often detour. The rare activity facil-ities in the park are also rarely used by people. The stag-nant water not only comes from terrain problems, but also from the viaduct, and the pollution index Exceeded.

RESERVED OAK RECREATION The ancient huge oak trees are preserved in the site, and there are some gentle hillsides around the oak trees as places for residents and tourists to rest. This not only saves expenses but also preserves the original features of the site. 22
THE BOARDWALK BRIDGE The boardwalk bridge dialogues with the wetland and provides a comfortable sightseeing experience. People are willing to stay in such a place created by the terrain.Students from nearby schools conduct plant science popularization in the plant hills practice. 23
03 BLENDING URBAN INTO NATURE Time : 2020 Planing & Urban Design Type : Group Work Location : Site Location: Najing, China Size: 600 ha
Aim and objective: This location is an abandoned airport in Nanjing, Jiangsu, China. With the development of the city, the city will continue to expand, a nd the construction and development of the airport have destroyed vegetation and animal habitats. The disused airport has also destroyed the connectivity of the city. This project is a study of the sustainable development of future cities. Find and create a form to blend urban into nature.

Low Green Rate Green Space The green patch is separated from the city, the greening rate around the site is low, and the urban hard patch is gradually expanding.

Block Traffic Traffic Situation The abandonment of the airport makes the surrounding communities poorly connected. Public transportation only has a subway line next to the site, causing inconvenience to residents and traffic jams.

The ancient Qinhuai River surrounded the site, but its tributaries were severely broken, and the Honghua River was buried by buildings and could not converge into the Qinhuai River.

COMMUNITY PARK
We increase large permeable surface can help rainwater to penetrate quickly running into the ground. Green infrastructure reduces water formation and stagnation on the road to form floods. Groundwater can also make the plants have enough water to grow, which plants will absorb greenhouse gas emissions and reduce the ground temperature. Through the evaporation of the sun, the water stream forms a suitable. Temperature wind to lower the temperature of the city.

THE BOUNDARY BETWEEN NATURE AND THE CITY Boardwalk
Wetland reserve connected with the Qinhuai River The ecological water system connected with the Qinhuai River expands, forming an ecological wetland park to connect with the residential area, and at the same time connecting the surrounding watershed around the site.People come to the bird-watching tower through the wetland plank road.
Wetland
Waterfront park connected to the residential area By keeping a certain distance from the urban area, a green infrastructure ecological corridor can be created, connecting the residential areas in the north with the river vegetation patches in the south.

05 SENSORY GARDEN Time : 2019 Sketches,(all handgraphic) Type : Individual Work Location :LSU Campus, Baton Rouge ,Lousiana , USA Size: 13,629.0SF
Aim and objective: The design idea comes from the visual sense pathway garden. The main goal is that use plants to grab student attention from classroom study. To use three sensitive to make students think about the plant. The first one is visual sense. Use the color and flower to make people grab attrition. That will make people feel like outdoor space. The second sense is smell. Color and fragrant plants make students to thinking where fragrances are. And sometimes it helps students to take a break from after classes.

SITE ANALYSIS
Old impermeable concrete pavement used for the bike parking lot.
Bicycle parking takes up a lot of space.
Students only passed by the site quickly and many open spaces were not used. The teacher who works in the building wants to have many flowers and trees with colors
41
The sketch is inspired by the geometric shapes on the surface of native American handmade bamboo baskets, from which they are extracted and transformed into linearity. This is an asymmetrical shape. The plants are then placed in sequence according to the line to form a rhythm.

CAMPUS BICYCLE LINE The space was re-purposed for sitting and planting. The repositioning of the parking lot can make the space more rhythmic. Students who park here can stop, smell and view the plants when the season change.
