Ziyue Zuo 'Zizi' Ziyue Zuo is a dynamic Master of Landscape Architecture graduate of the University of Adelaide. Her diverse interest in design includes landscape architecture, urban design, architecture and so on. She developed solid skills on graphic design, software and hand drawing during the 2-year postgraduate coursework whilst her unique talent on concept generation and aesthetics has been well appreciated. Her final project ‘Social Duality’ was nominated by the 2017 Rodney Beams Award as a land art of consumerism, the artificial landscape formed with vehicle waste contributes to both entertainment needs and environmental sustainability. Ziyue also has excellent performance in practice. In 2016, she participated in a onemonth internship at Oxigen Landscape Architect, one of the highly reputable landscape design practices in South Australia, as an elective course. Her proficient skills on software and good communication capability helped her earn High Distinction as a result. From February to June 2018, she was provided with a job of tutoring in three courses of Landscape Architecture at the University of Adelaide. Before her master degree, Ziyue had spent four years on studying Architectural Environment Art at Xi’an Academy of Fine Arts (XAFA), one of the top eight fine arts academies in China. Three of her works (an architecture design, a landscape design and an interior design) were collected by the academy. In addition, the final groupwork project ‘Wisdom of Hui’, leaded by her, was awarded for the third prize of XAFA. Although Ziyue was influenced by Chinese culture, she holds an open attitude on both design and values. Her good language skill and adaptability helped her well integrated with Australian context. The different background also benefits her to compare and purify common pursuit for landscape architecture, because another perspective brings more incisive thinking. Now she is ready to apply her knowledge into practical jobs.

REFEREES
02 February 2018 Re: Ziyue Zuo
To whom it may concern,
I am writing this reference at the request of Ziyue Zuo, who is applying for a graduate position in landscape architecture. I have tutored Ziyue for Final Project, Landscape Architecture 2017 in my capacity as Tutor at the SABE, University of Adelaide. Ziyue earned high distinction and distinction level grades in those classes. Her final project entitled ‘Social Duality’ was based on the redistribution of autowaste to create new ‘growing’ landforms that are socially and ethically minded. Based on her academic performance, attendance, and class participation, I would recommend Ziyue to undertake a graduate roll within landscape architecture practice. Her determination, understanding and creativity will be greatly appreciated within the practice.

SOCIAL DUALITY

INTRODUCTION The intent of the “Social Duality” project is to improve the existing dirt bike facilities and increase the City of Playford’s recreational attractions in this degraded wasteland. The new topography is constructed from waste materials so the designed landscape can also be seen as a “land art of consumerism” particularly as the works are staged and the mounds grow over time reflecting the process of waste production. The design also provides a practical method to solve site issues such as waste, noise attenuation and wildlife habitat creation. Social Duality is proposed as one project in this vicinity with the proposal for development of an environmental youth precinct between Port Gawler and Middle Beach. The two themes in the ‘duality’ are the natural ecology of the site, including the bird sanctuary and the mangrove ecology, and human interruption to the environment from agricultural and other land clearing
Site Conditions
activities. By utilizing technologies to convert vehicle waste into artificial pinnacles, it becomes a physical barrier between the human interruption and the coastal ecology. It is also partly a parody of the abandoned cars and assorted waste scattered in these “Badlands”. But this new topography also provides opportunities for bird nesting and habitat creation, particularly of reptiles and raptors. This artificial landscape contains functions of collecting waste, preventing vehicle noise to spread, artificial wildlife habitat and simulated ‘natural’ attraction. In other words, it protects nature from humans and paradoxically connects humans to nature at the same time. More than that, by turning the negative into a positive, the “fakeness” of the artificial landscape can be celebrated by the public. Dirt Bike racing often has negative environmental connotations but in Social Duality it is the impetus for a new nature.

CITY MEMORY BOX
JUNE 2017
“A friendly and sustainable urban memorial complex”
9
INTRODUCTION City Memory Box aims to shift the stereotype of cemeteries. The site was an abandoned architecture of a furniture store Le Cornu, located at a southwestern suburb of Adelaide. The project uses the accelerated natural burial invented by ‘Urban Death Project’ instead of conventional burial and cremation, which is much more suitable for the future of a sustainable urban development. It created a relaxing, enjoyable memorial park with educational museums and galleries, providing a memorial complex including uses of cemetery, recreation, historical education etc. History is the existence of human beings, history is the memory of a city. Museums conserve the material evidences of the memory, while cemeteries make the eventual destination of human existence. That is the reason to combine the two, to make a ‘memory box’ of a city that becomes our eventual physical and spiritual home.

The movement of natural burial has emerged since late 20th Century in the UK with increased public concern on ageing population, limited interment places and enormous consumption and pollution caused by conventional burial and cremation. Organization ‘Urban Death Project’ provided a good example of natural burial in urban context. It decomposes human bodies into nourishing soil within a few weeks. Then it can be applied for growing plants as a new lifecycle. When we think about a sustainable future, it is not always about advanced technologies. Sometimes we need revive what we once utilized. City Memory Box gave a new solution to urban cemeteries with respect for the meaning of life and also expanded sustainability to a new level. It is a place where we go back to the past and the nature.

URBAN WILDERNESS HOSTEL PARK “An urban nest for citizens”
13
JUNE 2017
INTRODUCTION Principles Food Production
Most of the plant species on the site are indigenous bush food, which provides food production to the community.
Medical Treatment
Several indigenous species used as medicine were selected to help users deal with daily ailments, as well as providing medical research source.
Cultural Connection
Cooking with bush food, healing with bush medicine, taking part in indigenous crafting activities, users learn about indigenous culture from daily activities.
Urban Wilderness Hostel Park combines a public space with commercial activities. As a location in Adelaide CBD, it is supposed to respond the urban context, mixing functions of restaurants, hotels & hostels, culture, eduction and green open space to make the best benefit.
accommodation (tree tents hiring & free camping), entertainment (craft making) and simple medical treatment (medical plants) on itself. While the hostel is attracting travellers and citizens to accommodate and learn about indigenous culture, this public park is also able to benefit the local community with food production, free camping and green open space. This ‘multi-storey green architecture’ can be seen as a prototype for urban living with nature.
Plant selection is based on cultural sense, including indigenous species which can be used as food, medicine and craft materials. The project is an integral system. It provides food resources (edible plants),
Community Livability
The site is open and free to the public except renting tree tents. With free camping, bush food, bush medicine and living facilities, it will benefit the community and provide a sound accommodation for the homeless.

Economic Prosperity
Renting tree tents is the main income to the hostel which brings financial benefits. Composting toilets and worm farms also bring economical benefits.

Eco-friendly Circulation
Growing food, cooking and dining on-site, decomposing leftover by the worm farm, fertilizing plants with compost collected from the composting toilets and the worm farm. The whole site works as an eco-friendly circulation. 2
Green Dwelling
The whole site works as a ‘house’ while plantation works as ‘structures’. Shade provided by plants forms the ‘bedroom’. Wind protection, noise reduction and fire retardant plants form the ‘walls’.

OPEN THE WALL
NOVEMBER 2016
“An open lifestyle in student community”
17
INTRODUCTION â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Open the wallâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; is a project aiming at providing a sharing, equal, energetic student accommodation to bring all students from different universities in one community. The site is located on Hindley Street, the city of Adelaide, which has convenient connections to the University of Adelaide, the University of SA and TAFE. The project is proposed to be a thorough complex including educational facilities, commercial and entertainment spaces and all the other necessary elements for a comfortable place to live. Several types of dwellings are provided to suit the needs of different groups of students (student couples, disabled students etc.).
By the special structure of the portable facade of the townhouses, residents can mix different functions (residence, education, entertainment and recreation) on their own purpose, which creates a highly open and active atmosphere for students to know others and share knowledge and experience. In addition, a spiral hall and a function ramp (accessible for the disabled) are designed for giving more opportunities to different activities (exhibition, jogging, bicycling etc.) which highlight the atmosphere. The design also remained a portion of existing facades to keep some existing impression of the site.
