As a third-year master student studying landscape architecture at Vir-ginia Tech, I am seeking an inspiring job of landscape architecture. My passion for the landscape architecture sector is equally matched by my experience in it. I once interned in Atkins and Broad Design Company, where I gained appreciations not only for my working efficiency but also for my design ideas, drawing and computer skills. Moreover, I gained many awards in my undergraduate study. I set goals and spare no effort to achieve them, and have great enthusiasms with my major. In order to complete my undergraduate graduation project, I spent three months living in an urban village in Beijing, where various kinds of imported work-ers live, to communicate with them and experience their lives

My current research interest in the graduate school is in the study of urban green infrastructure systems, especially the application of perma-culture principle in landscape construction to provide ecosystem service such as food production, healthy living and climate regulation. In order to complete my thesis, I took different disciplines such as crop and soil science, hydrology and horticulture, which helped me to understand the social, ecological and economic dimensions of managed ecosystems. I am confident that my perspective of multi-disciplinary study is a strong support in promoting ecological construction and building sustainable environment in various of projects.

The goal of this design was to develop a diverse community that complimented the existing downtown Jonesborough through an environmentally conscientious and economically varied program. Planning intention of The Thompson Meadow Village was to connect the built and pre-served natural environment as well as the housing and community spaces serving both economic and citizen’s interests equally well. The community spatial structure was developed considering original landscape characters such as rolling topography, spatial frame, and agriculture geo-metric characters.The site plan was mainly divided into a business zone and a residential zone that were self-sufficient and complementary in providing a wholesome work-live environment.

PHASING DIAGRAM OF POPULATION

Land use for the Thompson Meadow Vil-lage was organized to carefully manage the relationship between public and pri-vate land uses. Public land uses, which were commercial and recreational in school site and naturespace, were kept near the bypass or Tavern Hill Road. Residential use was organized as such to create distinct neighbors with easy access and interconnected with amen-ties and green open spaces. The mar-ket square was shared with commercial, school and residential land uses to max-imize accessibility.

INDIVIDUAL PLAN

The school site area was the core of community and was expected to enhance commu-nity involvement. It is open to all residents. After school hours, this site could become a space that accommodates various of recreational and academic activities, which pro-vided for all of community members.

School was designed at the southeastern corner of the site for three reasons. Firstly, it was the most flat area and walkable to other residential blocks. Secondly, it was close to areas with dense population (square market, commercial buildings and apartments) and had the potential to encourage people to get involved in. Thirdly, it was also close to the recreation place and natural park space, providing students and teachers with the opportunities of green exercise and learning activities.

A. School Green Open Space a. Changing the historical role of school in the community to make it open to all residents after school hours.b. Creating flexible and no-traditional learning environment for teachers and students.c. Sharing community facilities to enhance the interactions between community mem bers.d. Using landscape experience to improve people’s consciouness of healthy eating habitat and food practices.e. Designing activity space according to different groups and ensure the security of these spaces.B. History Area a. Recycling the old historical buildings as a series of community centers.b. Creating public spaces that can accomodate organized activities and cultural events.c. Applying stormwater management method to treat the water in building some land scape features.d. Using red bricks as the pavement to keep the heritage of Jonesborough City. C. Residential a. Designning semi-public space in the central of the residential blocks to support rec reation activities and create opportunity for water treatment.b. Building some landscape features such as daylight stream, cannopies, rainy garden to attract different groups to gather together.

Inspired by existing modernist facade, the proposed courtyard at Virginia Tech New Classroom building demonstrated a landscape expression of geometric form. These geometric shapes rep-resented movement and space, and desired path, which was identified by participants from the community meeting, supported the formation of these shapes. With the consideration of storm-water management, a series of landscape features including rain gardens, terrace gardens and dry gardens were formed and became the most important component of this landscape struc-ture. These different landscape features were incorporated to create a consistent landscape vision and connect different space where visitors could enjoy the beauty and feel relaxed.

CARILION CLINIC FAMILY MEDICINEINTEGRATION OF SITE AND STORMWATER DESIGN CONCEPTS

STUDIO WORKING IN VIRGINIA TECHLANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE / BLACKSBURG, VA, USA, 2014GROUP MEMBERS: XUEYU WANG / AUSTIN CHASE / LAUREN DELBRIDGEINDIVIDUAL

Carilion Clinic Family Medicine is a type of “medical homes” that provides a patient-centered approach to primary care. The project was focused on redesigning its original public spaces that included some parking areas, lawns and forests. Taking stormwater management into consideration, new public open spaces were created, which was designed not only to reduce pollutants from the water runoff, but also to function as a public amenity. The design utilized a treatment train approach, including peameable pavements, bioretention swales, rain gardens, a constructed wetland system, and a small pond, to reduce the pollutant loads and reserve water. The different water treatment approaches were incorporated to create a variety of open landscape features where visitors can enjoy the beauty and relax.

INDIVIDUAL

With the development of tourist trade, seashore tourist market gradually became econom-ic core of the city. However, single and separated resort buildings could hardly satisfy tourists’ demands. In this design, a large commercial cemplex was created to provide multiple services, such as catering, entertainment, retail and exhibition, and also to con-nect different landscape structures, including forests, beaches and the sea. Inspired by ocean waves, the proposed commercial complex appeared as a geometric form of wave that could not only give a visual impact but also function in diminishing the influence from sea winds.

The purpose of building Tianjin Cemetery Museum was to honor the martyrs who sacrified in the civil war of liberation.The element of dove of peace was used as the key concept in designing a building to express the sprit of seeking a peaceful world. Located at the forest as an established image, the building has been within its surroundings for a long time. The exterior materials, consisting of concretes and glasses, created harmony between building and its environment.
