INDIVIDUAL WORK PROJECT DISASTER TYPE: LANDSACAPE COMPLETION TIME: 2020.06 LOCATION: BATEMANS BAY NEW SOUTH WALES AUSTRALIA KEY WORDS: FIRE KOALA ECOLOGICAL RESTORATION This project is about the ecological restoration problems after the 2020 Australian forest fires and the issue of local animal protection. The Pelican Inlet Sanctuary Zone in Batemans Bay, New South Wales was selected because this area was seriously burnt, water resources were polluted to an extension, and fire caused the death of local koalas. I listed the design goals of this time. Firstly, a refuge device is designed for the koala, and people can continue to use the device as a landscape when there is no fire.

PROJECT 3

The second is to purify water resources. I chose to use ecological concrete to recover the ashes after burning on the shore. The two things are combined to create an ecological pond. The third is to provide people with activities on the shore. The three directions are combined to restore the ecological environment after the fire.

FIRE-STRIKEN AREA BATEMANS BAY ANALYSIS AND SITES ANALYSIS SITES ANALYSIS Pelican Inlet Sanctuary Zone Problems Analysis

A. Batemans Bay is located in Gilmore, where remained 81.2% habitat and had 100-200 koalas in 2017. But the fire caused many koalas dead. B. The ashes of the fire blacken the beach and pollute the water. C. Flame retardants cause plant death and pollute water.

Fire Station near the Batemans Bay There are few fire stations near Batemans Bay and it is very far away. So, Batemans Bay fire station was responsible for a large area of firefighting, even in a hurry.

Fire retardants(Phos-Chek) are mixed with water before they are used in the environment. After the water has completely evaporated, the remaining chemical residue retards vegetation or other materials from igniting, until it is removed by rain or erosion. Fire retardants also work by binding to plant material (cellulose) and preventing combustion.

INDIVIDUAL WORK PROJECT RESILIENT TYPE: LANDSCAPE COMPLETION TIME: 2019.03 LOCATION: HIGH SEAS COASTAL REGIONS KEY WORDS: OVERFISHING OCEAN BIODIVERSITY RESTORATION

PROJECT 2

PROJECT 3

This project is based on the phenomenon of overfishing and the decline of marine biodiversity. During the research process, I found that the corals are also being harmed due to overfishing. It is needless to say that the good growth of corals is advantageous to the restoration of marine biodiversity. Therefore, based on the research on the corals’structure, I designed a bionic coral landscape device and different appearance designs based on the different locations in which the corals live. Meanwhile, the device has both the ecological function and landscape function. It not only can help to restore the marine biodiversity in the sea but also can bring various feelings of the experience to the visitors to some extent.

OVERVIEW OF THE WORLD MARINE FISHING INDUSTRY At the beginning of the 20th century, the world's marine fishing industry produced only about 3.5 million tons. After the 1950s, the fishing industry entered a period of rapid development. Since the 1970s, the state of the world's marine fishery resources has continued to decline. Fishing Area No. 61 (Northwest Pacific) Fishing Area No. 71 (Western Central Pacific) Fishing Area No. 27 (Northeast Atlantic) Fishing Area No. 57 (Eastern Indian Ocean) Fishing Area No. 87 (Southeast Pacific)

THE LINK BETWEEN CORAL AND ECOLOGY Coral Structure Introduction

The global catch of bluefin tuna from 1999 to 2012 (Unit: tons)

Bluefin Tuna

The body of a coral animal is called the polyp. The polyps of the hard corals extract calcium carbonate from the sea water and use it to build a hard external limestone skeleton beneath.

Living in the temperate and tropical waters of the Atlantic Ocean is on the edge of extinction due to overfishing.

Within the tissue of the polyp live many microscopic algae or plant cells called zooxanthellae.These algal cells have a symbiotic (mutually beneficial) relationship with the coral. The algae provide the polyp with food through the process of photosynthesis in which the plant cells use sunlight coming through the water to convert the carbon dioxide and water in the polyp tissue into oxygen and carbohydrates. The color of the coral comes from the color of the zooxanthellae living in the polyp’s tissue.

1957-2007 The population of bluefin tuna (unit: cubic metric tons)

Time: 2020 Location: Atlantic and Caribbean Seas

In addition to getting food internally from the zooxanthellae, some corals eatplankton.

Corals have bleached, and few marine life lives here. Turtles are looking for new habitats. Top-level carnivorous consumer

Time: 1950 Many creatures once lived in this sea area, and they jointly maintained the ecological environment of this sea area.

Won't worry about food everyday.

The Way That Corals Reproduce

Species of Corals Hard Corals Common types of hard corals are brain coral, mush room coral, pillar coral, staghorn coral, and plate (or table) coral. Soft Corals Some types of corals secrete a flexible or soft skeleton. These are called octocorals, so named for their characteristic eight tentacles. They also grow well in areas where hard corals cannot grow, such as dark caves and overhangs.

Shark

Third-level carnivorous consumers Squid Cuttlefish

Second-level carnivorous consumers Tuna Batfish

Plankton provides energy to consumers at all levels.

First-level carnivorous consumer

Rich food. Easy to hide.

Lobster Starfish Small fish Good environment.

Producer Seaweed

Herbivorous Consumers Shellfish

The Corals Reef Ecosystem

Alga

Mangroves

However, with the rapid development of the fishing industry, people began to demand endless marine resources.

Nets will also inhibit the growth of corals.

Nonetheless, in the site of those corals, there is a renewed hope for life.

Countless large nets were cast from the fishing boat, making it impossible for marine creatures to escape.

Corals are gradually losing their vitality, fishes will not live here, people will not catch fish.

Beach It is formed from coral skeletons, animals, and plants. Turtles habitat and reproduce here, and birds find food there.

Patch Reef

Their complex tangle of roots and branches provides an excellent place for animals to feed, rest, mate, and give birth.

Usually, the larger the patch reef, the greater the diversity. Some of the marine life that exists on.

Reef Face Reef Face The upper zone is more brightly lit by the sun and is home to a tremendous diversity of reef life.

Seagrass

Reef Crest

Reef Face

They serve both as a protective nursery for numerous species of reef fish and as a rich source of food for adult fish.

Waves often expose portions of the reef Crest.Crabs and sea urchins work to keep the reef clean, so new coral can settle and grow.

Zooplankton and phyt oplankt on are swept into the reef face, supplying the reef life with easy access to food.

This zone consists of gentle slopes which extend from about 3 to 5m to around 18 to 22m in depth.

Reef Face Too dark for coral to grow. Some of the marine life foundliving in this area are soft corals, sharks, manta rays, and eagle rays.

Beaches, mangroves, seagrass, patch reefs and coral reefs work together to form a healthy ecosystem.

Corals can form a rich and diverse ecosystem, and their recovery can bring new life here.

THE SEASIDE PART

THE OFFSHORE PART

The structure here has two core functions, one is to provide nutrients and plankton for small animals, attracting more small animals and improving the biological chain.

It is divided into two parts: above the water and under the water. Above the water, it is the landscape view for the crowd. Under the water, it has the function of purifying, cleaning, and controlling reproduction.

The other is to provide a breeding shelter for small animals, which can enable them to breed safely and healthily and also provide a growing site for plants.

Bottom of the Seaside The place where the structure touches the seafloor, which could control the growth of seaweed and absorb excess nutrients.

The place where the structure touches the seafloor, which could control the growth of seaweed and absorb excess nutrients.

It is floating on the water, and the landscape area can be reached by boat.

Nutrient Plankton

The nutrient plankton absorbed by the structure is released again into the water to small animals after storage and filtration.

The structure, as a whole, can promote the healthy development of the seaside, drive marine production, and bring the view value of the landscape.

Sea urchins can clean reefs, but their reproduction is also needed to be controlled. Human beings can fish them for food.

There are random holes in the landscape over the water, which is aimed to give easier access for people to have a view.

The Offshore Part By purifying corals and providing a healthy ecological environment for the coral ecosystem, the species of organisms in the offshore area will be enriched.

By the structure of the functional structural unit, the biodiversity of the four parts of the sea area is improved, to affect the larger area of the sea area. If each area starts to restore biodiversity, the overall marine ecosystem, which is composed of complex biological chains, will be improved to a certain extent. On the condition that the design can activate the endangered species, the ocean will also recover its vitality.

PROJECT 3

INDIVIDUAL WORK PROJECT URBAN PUBLIC TYPE: SPACE COMPLETION TIME: 2020.10 LOCATION: COZINESS VALLEY MURMANSK RUSSIA KEY WORDS: PARK POLAR URBAN GREEN SPACE This project is a competition on the design of a Murmansk Park in Russia. The park aims to provide a colorful activity space for the "Coziness Valley" area to enrich the life of citizens. The area is a site of 24 hectares, located in north-west Russia, near the Arctic. Now it has not been developed, lacking lighting, roads, green spaces. In light of the extreme climate of the Arctic and the special natural phenomena (polar day and night), and the People's love for sports and pet keeping, I bring in a design element called "broken ice". I design five major theme-based areas. The landscape architecture of the core lake not only responds to the extreme climate in the Arctic, but also provides a wide range of activities for the public. The other four areas also have four kinds of outdoor spaces, which bring more interesting living space to the residents and add new vitality to the city.

PROJECT 3

INDIVIDUAL WORK PROJECT URBAN PUBLIC TYPE: SPACE COMPLETION TIME: 2019.12 LOCATION: RENMIN VILLAGE CHONGQING CHINA KEY WORDS: COMMUNITY TRAVEL This project focuses on a hot topic in China-tourism. Based on a series of surveys on Chinese tourism, I find that the Chinese are keen on travel, especially to natural scenic spots. Every holiday, China’s major scenic spots will be crowded with tourists. As such travel experience turns out to be bad, most people choose to travel around the community instead. After the outbreak of the Covid-2019 epidemic, more people are unable to travel according to their plan. Therefore, I draw up a community travel plan, and natural landscape elements are integrated into the community landscape. The site is located in Renmin Village of Chongqing. Because of the large terrain difference, underground space has been developed for human activities and various entrances from the ground to the underground have been designed. In this way, people can experience the pleasure of traveling in their communities.
