VolPereSidence
This studio is to design a garden and a house for a client living in Amherst. The site lo-cates at the north of a busy road. And the soil is very well drained. The challenge of this design is how to create a quiet garden and retain most of the existing plants. Meanwhile, the client wants us to consider combining the wash line with the garden.

The old industrial port of Beijing is being redeveloped as a new city center southeast of central Tianjin City, and linked to the capital city and the Bohai Gulf shore by high-speed train. The Tianjin New Binhai Master Plan details a comprehensive infrastructure system permeating a mixed-use district of high-rises, and open spaces.
The terminal station designed by SOM will become an icon of the new city not only because of its unique outlook, but also because of this importance in transportation, its size and location. The landscape design round the station tries to echo its significance and provide unique departing and arriving experience.

Envisioned as a mixed-use development, Arboleda will be a premier model for sustainable development in San Pedro Garza Garcia, Latin America's most prosperous suburb serving as an important corporate center in Monterrey, Mexico. The master plan will create a new urban center on a 26-acre site next to the Campestre Golf Club with dramatic views of the Sierra Madre Mountains.
Renderings are supervised by me. Intense comments were provided during rendering process. Thanks to the rendering firms: Bezier in China and Gabriel in Agentina
Arboleda offers a diverse variety of site programming. Residents will live in three towers and smaller scaled villas in the residential area and two midrise apartment buildings in the commercial district. This lively, walkable district for business and entertainment will also include office towers, office gardens, restaurants, stores, café bistro, performance pavilion, a hotel and cultural center. The club house will link the commercial and residential zones and will be an amenity for all.
Highlighting the projects' emphasis on sustainable design, Arboleda will be compliant with LEED for Neighborhood Development, a system of design which integrates the principles of smart growth, urbanism and green building.

The old industrial port of Beijing is being redeveloped as a new city center southeast of central Tianjin City, and linked to the capital city and the Bohai Gulf shore by high-speed train. The Tianjin New Binhai Master Plan details a comprehensive infrastructure system permeating a mixed-use district of high-rises, and open spaces. The high-density plan was developed according to key principles of sustainable design: providing accessible public transit, weaving a new generation of green spaces into the city, and promoting clean water. (Sources from SOM)
The terminal station designed by SOM will become an icon of the new city not only because of its unique outlook, but also because of this importance in transportation, its size and location. So the landscape design round the station must echo its significance.
Green open spaces are scattered, not connected, not systemetically considerred. This is not beneficial to stormwater management, habitat protection as well as pedestrian circulation.
Water system is located at the east and south edge of the site, not very well incorporated into the site.
Pedestrain path system is not considerred into the overall transportation system wihich makes the site not pedestrian friendly.
Proposed urban land use tries to provide solutions to the challenges mentioned above. Adding more green open spaces to make them connected. Rerouting the water system and consider pedestrian system in the site.

THE MOATXi'an’s city wall and moat was initially built during Tang dynasty (618-907) and was extended during Ming dynasty (1368-1644). The wall stood 12 meters tall, 12-14 meters wide at the top and 15-18 meters thick at the bottom. It covers a length of 13.7 kilometers with a moat of 14.7 kilometers. The moat has an average width of 27.6 meters and an average depth of 6.5 meters. Initially designed as defensive structure, the moat now acts as a heritage site combined with flood storage, water storage and sewage discharge function.
THE CITyXi'an is the capital of the Shaanxi province in China and it is a sub-provincial city. Xi'an has been the capital (under various names) of some of the most important dynasties in Chinese history. The city is the eastern terminus of the Silk Road and home of the Terracotta Army which was made during the Qin Dynasty.
P
POLLUTANTS IN THE MOATThe moat was once a pleasant place for people to visit and play. However, in recent years, the water in the moat has become heavily polluted because of rapid urbanization and enormous growth of population. The stinky smell from the dark water keeps people away from the moat.
According to a recent survey, there are three kinds of pollutants in the moat: domestic sewage, industrial sewage, and stormwater runoff. Domestic sewage is the wastewater of daily life - a constant source of pollution. Industrial sewage is generated by industrial production processes, adding specific chemicals and compounds to the water. Stormwater runoff flows from rooftops, paving and other urban surfaces, accumulating various contaminants along the way. Generally speaking, industrial pollution and stormwater are the most significant sources of pollution.
THE MOAT AND THE REGIONBecause of fast development and population growth, the use of water has increased significantly. The underground water level has dropped from -6.93m in 1983 to -12.65m in 2003 and almost -19m in 2009. In conclusion, a clean and nice moat would be a great treasure for people. A creative approach that can make the moat sustain itself is strongly needed.
In this project, we proposed a remediation system for purifying the moat of Xi’an city. This proposal creatively applies traditional methods of using bamboo and bamboo products. By innovatively integrated the system with the historic moat, a sustainable “green infrastructure” is established, the value and spirit of the site are cherished and a pleasant environment is provided for people to visit and play.
The objective of this project is to change the traditional way of dredging the waste and refilling the moat with new water and providing a new sustainable way of dealing with the pollution in the moat. In addition, this project also celebrates the unfailing value of traditional Chinese culture – featuring the bamboo. By these methods, the project ultimately responds to the competition theme: Harmony and Prosperity – Traditional Inheritance and Sustainable Development.

bamboo charcoal remediation
By means of a pyrolysis process, bamboo will be transferred into five different products(indicated by the diagram):1) Bamboo charcoal – an environmentally functional material that has excellent absorption properties; 2) Bamboo vinegar – a special liquid that can purify polluted water; 3) Bamboo tar – a special liquid that can detoxify pathogens; 4) Bamboo gas – for providing heat; 5) Waste gas.
Besides the benefits provided by those products, the bamboo family is also one of the most effective plants for phytoremediation. Bamboo can take up the contaminants from water and purify it through a biofiltration process.

Bamboo charcoal is placed in a large, landscape-scale filter that can purify water efficiently; bamboo vinegar is sprayed into the dirty soil to detoxify the pollution in it; bamboo tar is used to deal with the pathogens; bamboo gas provides heat to produce these products and the waste gas is treated with bamboo charcoal. These elements together serve as a self-sustained system.

BANk TREATMENTOn the upper bank, there are bamboo plantings that remediate sediment from the moat, while the lower bank will be a bamboo charcoal purification system. The whole system is powered by bamboo gas in order to achieve a renewable energy objective.
DAM IMPROVEMENTWe use bamboo charcoal on top of the dam, taking advantage of gravity to filter the polluted water flowing over the dam. The mesh structure could buffer mass wastes and collect them into sediment tank, while soluble contaminations will be easily captured by the bamboo charcoal.
BRIDGE SCENARIOEnclosed by a glass floor, the educational structure illustrates the remediation process from pumping and recharge to the public. The residents could also participate in bamboo planting, enhancing public-municipalities connection by holding ceremonies.

The last 200 years has been a period of rapid and destabilizing demographic, political, and cultural change. The vast migration toward the city, the ensuing construction of national identities, and the restructuring of cultures have all followed on a wave of successive and overlapping industrial revolutions. The history of the world’s fair, like the larger history of all modern centralized planning, is the history of swiftly industrializing societies, booming populations, and the desperate attempt of nations, municipalities, and planning agencies, to summarize these changes, to present a coherent image of the modern world, and to craft a normative vision of some future equilibrium toward which all this madness is proceeding.
We envision an American fair rooted in reality. Human societies, like the planetary ecosystem of which we all constitute one part, exist in a state of dynamic non-equilibrium. This balance is maintained only through constant motion and competing forces. The vast quasi no-man’s land, industrial waste areas, and paved expanses of stadium parking is NOT a blank slate. It is instead a record of 250 years of American trial and error. These careless spaces at the confluence of the Delaware and Schuylkill River, were once marshes, low lying wetlands, islands, all vital constituents of an ecological and hydrological systems that connected the Appalachian Mountains to the Atlantic Ocean. This location provided a vital function as a passage for anadromous fishes, like sturgeon, shad, alewife, and striped bass, and it acted as a filter, scrubbing excess nutrients and particulate from the river and tributaries before they flowed into the bay.
Our proposal had been selected as the 2nd price for this competition. For more information, please check: http://philadelphiacfa.org/competitions-bacon-student-design.php

Colorful awnings suspended from interstate soften interior space. Highway provides shelter from rain. Runoff from highway is guttered and directed to raised ornamental gardens for infiltration. Food stalls and vendors line the interior space beneath the interstate.
Pavement is ripped out and replaced by a meadow and a series of pervious walking paths. Stadiums are used for the largest festivities. Parking lots are consolidated through parking structures. Aggregate from the removal of pavement is mounded against the garages, covered in topsoil and planted.
An aggressive reforestation program establishes a young forest of native hardwood species, growing around the ruins of abandoned industry and discarded housing. Ancient naval vessels, become museums, exhibition space and temporary hotels Existing structures are repurposed as exhibition space and public sculpture. The vast parking lots become populated with bright tents, temporary structures, and stages.
