The proposal is going to design a strong town core which is able to attract more people to come and visit the Navajo, and native people will see the potential of the Navajo Nation. The project satisfies Navajo people’s demand such as business, sporting area and gathering place. Also, it can beautify the surrounding of the Navajo.
CONCEPT
There are four obvious sights that people can see in the site. Also, respect to the earth and Worship Mountains which is the spirit of Navajo. According to that, the project connects five spots along the main road with the four sights, which organizes a vision network.
The sequence from main road to the chapter is an understanding of spirt. Outside is formal, and it has space for market. Modern materials, axes and symmetrical layout make it as public design. Inside is related to native people’s living. Native plant and medicine garden show the Navajo surrounding. Gathering place provides space for activities. The transition separates those different function, feeling spaces. At the same time, it provides green space for people. Stone Access View

Distinguishing the three accesses from outside to Navajo place, the Navajo Viewlines refers native elements , water, stone and plant. Water refers the local irrigation “Acequia” and horse water tanks. Stone features come from Chaco Canyon. Native farmland inspirits the idea of plant access. The Medicine Garden is a gathering place that combines these three elements.

The proposal is designing a library, a story plaza and a detention pond, and each function has specific requirement. I start with the function of the Library. I try to design some outdoor reading spaces which can emphasize the gathering place. Therefore, I have the parti of “Room”. Due to the idea, I create a chessboard and have some square spaces, and I design different types of reading space and put them into those square spaces. Each reading unity is independent, at the same time, it connects with public place, so people can walk through the site and find their interesting spaces for reading. The parking lot uses permeated bricks, so stormwater can through the surface and be collected.

According to the framework, then I set the library, parking lot and detention pond on the site and make them fit to the idea. Without the detention, the basin provides playing facilities for children and running road for neighbors.

Hornachuelos HouseNew Town Core Design

Hornachuelos is located in Sierra de Hornachuelos Nature Reserve on the south of the province of Cordoba, Spain. It is a Spanish historical town on the top of a hill. An analysis reveals that public space is used primarily for parking, and the streets are packed with vehicles. Therefore, the proposal emphasizes how important public space is. The design reactivates current public spaces and abandoned lots through an active design intervention.
The geometry of the SQUARE is at the core of the design, and acts as a unifying ordering system. This design strategy is inspired by the HOUSE concept, and the second meaning of a square as a public space within a city.

The concept HOUSE provides different programs and experiences for Hornachuelos residents. Eight room types dot the town: living room, dining room, bathroom, bedroom, study room, garage, playing room and yard. Streets become hallways, with visual cues that connect the rooms.

PlaygroundIdeal Residential Landscape Design
Location: Langjun Garden, Zhuantang Town, Hangzhou, ChinaDate: November - December, 2012
On the basis of the current situation, we proposed a theme of Game landscape, and we want to make interaction between the residents and the landscape, and make it not just for view but also for fun, so the residents could have the chance to relax, to meet each other, and to establish an amiable neighborhood. Landscape Game, just as its name implies, is game facilities designed as landscape, and these facilities shall be firstly defined as game and then be functionally as game. We utilized industrial methods to build these facilities in relevant locations and use plants to make game sites, so the game sites would be combined with the landscape.

THE MASTER PLAN
On the basis of the survey and analysis on the lands, I decide to design a shiftable garden to fu l ly ut i l ize the vacant lands. However, most of the vacant lands are used as temporary parking lot for the community, so I intend to combine the function of garden and parking lot and design a triple-functional garden. The garden is composed of several units, which can be separated and moved to other locations for assembly.

CONCEPT
Abandoned containers are repurposed to be the garden units. Containers are reformed to fully utilize the interior spaces.The traditional Chinese garden emphasizes seeing the whole from one aspect, and utilizes buildings, walls, plants and hill stones to separate the space and produce attractive views in limited space. This design incorporates this traditional notion, using new materials. Containers, combined by lateral plates and plants, are the main component in the moving garden.
