As the lead designer under supervisions of a landscape architect, I provided a conceptual design for the the San Mateo County Hall of Justice employee entry streetscape. The clients intended to give the existing outdated appearance a refreshing transformation. As paving design the focus of this project. unique paving pattern and uses off different types and colors of paving material to provide a stronger visual statement of the entrance. New seatwall planter and benches were placed strategically to better defining seating area with signifacant functionality and user privacy improvements. vv

The clients intended to create a outdoor space with strong modern accent using large paving design. They also wanted an outdoor dining area and gathering space to accomodate more guest than the current capability. Although the design was revised heavily to meet the construction budget, the clients were satisfied with the project result.

A simple insipiational landscape design for a single family home. The main objectives are to inexpensively create an extension of family gathering area connecting the existing pavement and to enhance visual privacy for the front entry from the street.

As a supporting staff to the landscape architects, my tasks were to help set up and update technical project drawings through all phases of the project. Besides to ensure the drawings with the most accurate and up to date information, it was important to maintain the drawings with high levels of graphic legibility and consistency.

REUTILIZATION

ALBANY, CA

Metropolitan cites consist of extensive transportation infrastructure. These developments improve the efficiency of mass transportation and helps guide people to their destination. However, they also bring dramatic change to urban physical landscapes, and impact the landuse of surrounding contexts.

As a senior project of the Landscape Architecture program at UC Davis; this project studied an Interstate Highway underpass in the City of Albany, California, to analyze the underpass for assoiated issues with highways such as urban disconnection, pedestrain safety, and connectivity. A master plan was purposed as a case study sample to provide design solution inspirations for other underpasses pertaining to similar issues.

As a national design competition entry with

collaborations of four students and a professor,

this design project represents an alternative future

for San Francisco which utilizes a systematic

unbuilding of the existing development fabric

to integrate hybridized storm-water and

constructed wetland infrastructure to manage

the increased inward and outward flows of water

along the city ’s eastern shore. It capitalizes on

existing vacant, city-owned parcels for the first

phase of constructed wetlands.

UNBUILT VISION

All essential future land use Affect of a 16 in. sea level rise by 2050

Affect of a 55 in. sea level rise by 2100

SF’s eastern shore was predominantly saltwater marshes

& wetlands which filtered storm water, caught sediment

from run-off, protected inland areas from storm surges,and

served as important habitat for aquatic plants and animals

At present, this shoreline is a constructed edge,

and current efforts at managing these flows utilize

structures to prevent inw ard flows through levees and

divert outward flows through catchments. These highly

constructed systems operate rigidly, with costly and

sometimes disastrous impacts when failure occurs.

By synthesizing man-made infrastructure with the

ecological benefits of wetlands, a hybridized solution

to both inward and outward flows of water might be

addressed with the limited available land for adaptation.

In the City of San Francisco, inundation and urban growth are competing concerns in a city that currently

anticipates increasing development along a threatened eastern shore. The majority of new development projects

in the city are located within regions of San Francisco’s eastern shore projected below sea level by 2100.

Moreover, the city’s existing waste water treatment system includes infrastructure threatened by anticipated sea

level rise in the next 17 years. Climate change predictions for the Bay Area include increased rain fall, as well as

sea level rise, compounding the issue of storm-water management in a city with threatened treatment capacity
