Danfo Market: Lagos Oshodi Market Reform Urban Landscape Design Landscape Design Studio 2017
Established during 1800s, Oshodi market is one of the largest and most historical trading area in LAGOS. Citizens are usually take a private own minibus which called DANFO to this market and purchasing their daily supply. However, the freedom of trading also mixed with illegal action like drugs trafficking and prostitution. The blemish of Oshodi eventually cased to the demolition order by local government and a new bus station project. Even though the public option strongly oppose the decision, the Oshodi market was raze to the ground during 2015.
The market was demolish by government and they are going to replace DANFO
Large Market and DANFO is the icon of LAGOS, Local governemnt consider them as the breeding ground of unhealthy and crime. However, this life style seems well accpet for local community. We test the possibility of improving the situation by landscape approach.
By creating a doubt-deck market, pedestrian and DANFO merchant could coexistence, and enough space for trading, assembly and relaxing. Taking the trade as the carrier, the power of landscape could reform the Oshodi in to a realization of the Lagos.
Formation of Space
This project is attempting to take the unique trading behavior as the response to the demolition of Oshodi market. In order to enlarge the social justice, the project intense to preserve the sprite of the Oshodi which is the freedom of trading and combine with the iconic Danfo surrounding the previous site. To establish a civic space where a market and a public square could function at same time.

03 Anglesea: Becoming a Roos Town Urban Ecological Design Landscape Design Thesis 2018
Coastal area around the world are witnessing dramatic changes as a consequence of regional development associated with tourism and urbanites investment.
With the overdevelopment homogenized local social and ecological characteristic, the impacts will eventually cause to a degradation of regional identity and economy. However, other than reservation approach, utilizing the regional identity to preserve and enhance the attributes of place through a landscape perspective is largely unaddressed. As one of the iconic symbols of Australia, Eastern Grey Kangaroo, also a crucial member in local community in Anglesea. This thesis will explore how to use landscape approach to emphasize a local symbolized character as a regional identity while promote economy value.

Design around kangraoos current environment and considering the future possible habitat being the primary factor which could decide the design boundary and site contexts, the approach to speculate how roos movement in this area is the spatial data analysis. Based on the local vegetation,water resouce, woodland density, a suitable corridor could formed.

04 A Slide Bench Street Furniture Design Landscape Detail Design 2017
The design concpt is trying to found a usable space for different kind of scenario. The first step is to organize those users into a compact space, in order to creat a relatively safe sapce for use. Then, give each funaction a resonable location and aviod overlap with each. At last, the idea of moveable structure provide the change for users to change the sapce as they wants. Therefore, the srructure can satify a space that always changing and shifting.

The basic need of this site is form the people who waiting for others and the bike riders need more space for bike lock stand. Moreover, those funcation have to establish and emerage with the street tree exist on site . Therefore, this developing process start with form small green space. Then, the structure rise up in order to suit for a peron to rely on. Then, the rest of the space could separate into cells in order to accommdate more bike stands for students.
05 LEVEL PLAYING FIELD Urban Landscape Design Winter Design Studio 2017
The design proposal for the new Melbourne University Student Precinct brings life back into the space. Where once there were thermally uncomfortable spaces that people did not want to occupy for periods of time, there is now light, wind and shading being brought into all spaces across the site. Where there were hard and harsh spaces there is now vegetation and water, aiding in the theory of biophelia, important in a space where people are prone to stress. And where once there was a series of disjointed spaces, there is now a communal spaces, a place where people can congregate and socialise.
