Smart Ecology

Smart Ecology is an urban planning project for the Tus Park, a high technology industrial park in Nanning, China. The plan links the functional zones to create open space for communication. A scattered layout with enclosed courtyards balances openness with the privacy of each zone. A central landscape axis connects the individual units through sky corridors. The park covers 671,592 square metres and includes a science and technology museum, offices, housing and commercial streets. A passive building energy system supports energy saving and environmental protection.

Riverside Pearl

Waterfront Pearl is a waterfront park located along the Jialing River in Nanchong, China. The park covers about 1,200,000 square meters and includes both landscape design and architecture design. The existing water and dam topography of the site is used to form a shoal shape to the west of Bashan Mountain. The terrain is reshaped and planted to strengthen the natural setting. The layout refers to the local Yuji culture and to the story of Da Yu controlling the floods. The result is a public space for leisure, cultural display and festival events.

Farmers Den

Farmers Den is an office landscape design located in Gandhinagar, India. The layout follows a simple grid plan, and the building is raised slightly on a platform that flows into the surrounding landscape and water channels. Local yellow sandstone is used for its color and texture under changing sunlight. Native tree species and insect repellent plants are combined with water, fish and turtles to form a small ecosystem. Raised mounds and tall trees shade the southwest side from strong heat. Openings in the breakout wall guide the breeze over the water to cool the cabins.

Prison History

Historical Park is a public park and memorial in Berlin, set on the site of a Prussian prison built between 1842 and 1849. Political prisoners were held and tortured there at the end of the Second World War, and the buildings were demolished in 1958, leaving only the outer wall. The star shaped prison plan is recalled through raised and sunken lawns and hedges. A concrete cube marks the former central observation point. Sandblasted beige concrete matches the joints of the restored brick wall. The design joins recreation and remembrance in one landscape.

NYC 2050

NYC 2050 is a city masterplan for New York City that responds to rising sea levels. The plan studies the history of the edge of Manhattan and shows how the city can adapt once again for the future. Flooding is accepted as part of daily urban life, with Venice used as a reference. The masterplan presents the changes needed for a flooded city to remain a vibrant and important cosmopolitan centre. The proposal is supported by research on climate predictions and is presented as a series of digital photo manipulations in a square format.
