Fushan Ecology

Fushan Ecological is a greenway structure placed on the south side of Fushan Mountain, where the site has a height difference of 21 meters. The form is inspired by the pinecones found on the mountain, and each level is a twisted hexagon that becomes smaller toward the top. A concrete foundation supports a steel grid structure with inner and outer cylinders. The path surface is made of anti-corrosion wood or imitation wood. Inner steps allow quick passage, and outer ramps suit slow walking. Both paths meet at a viewing platform at the top.

City on the Loop

City on the Loop reimagines a flood prone coastline in Brooklyn as a continuous urban edge that adapts to rising sea levels. Built over existing infrastructure, the design introduces elevated housing, light rail, and flood resilient public programs in three phases. A land sea gradient replaces hard boundaries, enabling architecture, ecology, and community life to interact. The loop acts as both a spatial structure and an adaptive system, evolving with environmental shifts and offering a framework for future intelligent, climate-responsive governance.
