我印象中最深刻的就是冬天滑雪，以前很少见到雪，也没接触过这种运动。但自从开始以后，每年冬天都想去。
My most vivid memory is embarking on a skiing adventure during the winter season. Prior to this, I had rarely encountered snow and was unfamiliar with the exhilarating sport of skiing. However, ever since that initial experience, I eagerly anticipate hitting the slopes each and every winter.

目前还在评估中，希望在2-3年内能有更清晰的人生规划。
It is still being evaluated and I hope to have a clearer future plan in 2-3 years.
清晰和模糊是相对的。工作和学习也是不同的。学校能让我去用和国内不一样对设计方法去思考，但在美国工作中，又是不同于学校的。所以最大的感触就是如何保持住自己的态度，不管做什么设计或是工作，态度是面对不同环境的基础。
The concepts of clarity and ambiguity are inherently relative, as are the distinctions between work and learning. Through my educational experience, I have been exposed to diverse design methods that differ from those in my home country. However, working in the United States presents a unique set of challenges, distinct from those encountered in school. Consequently, the most profound realization I’ve had is the importance of maintaining a steadfast attitude. Regardless of the specific design tasks or job responsibilities I undertake, my attitude serves as the bedrock for adapting to various environments.
罗德岛设计学院是非常非常传统的学校，也比较丰富，可以接触一些除了景观以外的设计和艺术专业。
RISD, a traditional design school, offers a dynamic platform for learning and gaining insights into various fields within art and design.
目前公司规模很大，有做不同地方项目的团队，能够接触到不同地域和类型的项目，积累不同的项目经验。
EDSA is a very big group with different teams that work on projects in different places, so that I can learn about different regions and types of projects.
我喜欢Studio INI和ENESS团队的作品。他们的作品让我对未来的景观有了更多的期待，除了传统的景观设计方法，这种结合艺术，技术，交互，工程等多行业的设计会让景观设计有更多的可能。 这让我会跳出原有的框架，去了解更多的领域。
I admire the works of Studio INI and the ENESS team. Their creations have given me higher expectations for the future of landscape design. In addition to traditional landscape design methods, their approach combines art, technology, interaction, and engineering from various industries, opening up more possibilities for landscape design. This has inspired me to break out of my original framework and explore more fields.
现在看自己的作品集还是有很多不完善的地方，最大的特色就是多样性。我一直尝试用不同的方法学来指导自己的设计方向。有技术分析作为设计基础的，也有艺术抽象的。作品的主题，类型，变现技法比较丰富。
Looking at my portfolio now, there are still many areas for improvement, but its greatest feature is its diversity. I have always tried to guide my design direction using various methodologies. Some are based on technical analysis, while others are more artistically abstract. The themes, types, and representations in my work are diverse.
应该是13年开始，网站总能把世界上高质量的设计项目都分享出来。希望未来可以越办越好。
Probably since 2013，the website has consistently showcased high-quality design projects from around the world. I hope it continues to grow and improve over time.

后工业时代以来，棕地成为一个重要的污染问题。而景观作为面对这类问题的直接学科，如何处理好复杂的环境与生物之间的关系，如何修复生态系统都是一个十分复杂的科学问题。我的这个作品想通过对GIS大数据的分析，创造一套为景观设计师等相关专业面对宗地问题的系统。最后打造出一个基于研究结果的平台，让他们能够通过这个平台，找到最合适他们的棕地修复策略和技术。
Since the post-industrial era, brownfields have become a significant pollution issue. Landscape architecture, as a discipline directly addressing such problems, faces complex scientific questions on how to manage the intricate relationships between the environment and living organisms and how to restore ecosystems. In this project, I aim to create a system for landscape designers and other related professionals to tackle brownfield issues through GIS big data analysis. Ultimately, the goal is to develop a platform based on research findings that enables users to find the most suitable brownfield remediation strategies and techniques for their needs.

再一次呼吸：治疗巴尔的摩的肺
Breathing Again: Treating Baltimore Lung
Type: Individual Work
Advisor: Suzanne Mathew
Location: Baltimore, MD
巴尔的摩作为美国历史最悠久的几个城市之一，在历史的发展中扮演了十分重要的作用。然而，经过了多年的发展，特别是二战以后，工业和制造业的转移，巴尔的摩市不可避免的开始了衰败的趋势。伴随而来的经济衰退也带来了一系列社会和环境问题，其中包括暴力，犯罪，失业，vacant land和building等等。该项目希望以整个城市为尺度，运用景观设计师的工具和方法，去解决以vacant land and buildings为核心的一系列问题，使巴尔的摩重找到新的发展方向。而在城市的核心区域，以I-83 interstate highway, railroad system and jones falls river等不同系统交织的区域，使用新的策略，打破他们内部以及他们与城市之间的barriers 界限,创造一个更好的环境。
As one of the most historical cities in the United States, Baltimore had once witnessed rapid economic growth and peripheral urban expansion. However, amidst the backdrop of de-industrialization, urban decay and recession led to a series of social problems such as high unemployment and crime rate. Consequently, the loss of population left a large amount of derelict land from abandoned industrial sites and buildings across the city. In addition, the JFX (I-83) highway and railroad systems created a large area of disused grey space.
This project aims to revitalize Baltimore from a landscape architecture perspective by addressing the vacancy dilemma to promote urban growth. We first categorize the main re-development region into three types of districts – educational center, commercial center, and JFX railroad system complex region. By retrofitting disused vacancies in each district with community service facilities and green spaces, this proposal expects to establish a new economic model of urban growth, promote public well-being, and create a sustainable and livable urban environment in Baltimore city.
▼历史线，Timeline
巴尔的摩市已经经历了长时间停滞时间，这个曾经坐落在独特而重要的地理位置的繁华都市，随着他工业地位的下降，城市的经济也遭受了重大阻碍。没有了制造业订单，工人也失去了工作机会，随之而来的是更为严重的社会问题。巴尔的摩市的犯罪率一直都排在美国所以城市的前列。然而滋生这一系列问题的根源，还是经济的停滞。曾经大量的住房，厂房产生了vacant land and buildings，巧合的是这些区域又恰恰是各种治安问题最大的地方。
同时，时任总统Dwight David Eisenhower 在1956年颁布了对美国产生了重大影响的《 Federal Aid Highway Act 》，而此法案在巴尔的摩产生了I-83 interstate highway，它与current railroad, Jones falls river仿佛将这个城市一分为二，而在这条带上，形成了最大的vacant land，各系统之间相互缺少联系，同时又阻隔了城市之间的联系。就像人的肺一样，分为了两块，中间的呼吸道仿佛连接了他们，又仿佛分割了他们。
Industrialization is responsible for urban sprawl in Baltimore city, which involves the construction of many housing properties. With the economic setback and the decline of manufacturing jobs in Baltimore, a number of serious social problems such as high unemployment and crime rate, lack of cohesion of local communities, progressive deterioration of urban ecosystems led the population in the city to continue to plummet. The resulting surplus of the abandoned residential apartment complex and former industrial factories is both a demonstration of population and job losses and an issue itself.
Around the same time, President Dwight David Eisenhower endorsed the Federal-Aid Highway Act in 1956, which laid the foundation of the I-83 interstate highway. I-83 and the existing railroad Jones Fall River created an accessible and express transportation system. However, it is also responsible for the formation of the largest vacant region in the city. Baltimore city is like the human lungs, connected by but also divided by the middle respiratory tract – the railroad system and JFX region.
▼健康的城市基础设施健康，Healthy urban infrastructure
巴尔的摩市由于受制于经济问题，长时间没有基础设施更新，特别是在I-83附近的区域，将东西撕裂。
Due to economic constraints, the city of Baltimore has experienced a prolonged period without infrastructure updates, particularly in areas near I-83, causing a division between the eastern and western regions.
▼巴尔的摩空地和空房，Vacant land and properties in Baltimore
▼巴尔的摩之肺，Diagnosis of Baltimore Lung
将巴尔的摩的城市形态想象成为一个人体肺部器官，JFX，Jones falls river and railroad像是肺部的呼吸道，是各个系统和外界沟通的管道，城市空地和空房就像是肺部的病毒一样，阻碍呼吸。
Baltimore city is analogous to the human lungs, where JFX, Jones Falls river, and railroad systems are like the tract connects respiratory systems. Urban vacancy, on the other hand, is like viruses that caused respiratory distress that hinders breathing.
▼治疗方案策略，Framework strategy partti
治疗巴尔的摩肺的具体方案，重新构架新的城市系统，沟通各区域之间的联系，整合一系列的景观策略，消除巴尔的摩空地和空房病毒，让整个肺重新健康起来。
The landscape architectural intervention is used to treat vacancy virus and help Baltimore to breathe again; it involves the conversion of vacancy to healthy and productive facilities in the re-arrange districts.
▼肺泡细胞和神经元的语义 & 整合案例，Semantic & integration case of alveolar cells and neurons
不管是社区还是公共空间，将大量的空地重新利用，转换角色，作为激活整个城市的基本细胞和神经，逐步的消灭城市中存在的灰色空间。
Whether in communities or public spaces, a considerable amount of unused land and building can be repurposed and have its role transformed to serve as the fundamental cells and neurons activating the entire city, gradually eliminating the gray spaces that exist within the urban area.

Type: Individual Work
Advisor: Emily Vogler
Location: Sichuan，China
河流是文明发展的起源，几乎所有的文明，城市都会依托于河流而兴建。因此这是专注于河流系统所研究的一个studio，我选择沱江作为切入，去深度分析不同阶段的功能。同时，选择平原地区作为主要研究区域。通过常年的开发，成都平原已经形成了复杂的沟渠灌溉系统，他们和沱江的关系，以及如何找到他们未来的生态，经济，功能的定位是此项目的主要目标。
Rivers are the origin of civilization development, with virtually all civilizations and cities being built alongside them. Therefore, this is a studio focused on the study of river systems. I chose the Tuo River as the entry point to deeply analyze its different stages of function. Simultaneously, I selected the plain area as the primary research region. Through years of development, the Chengdu plain has formed a complex irrigation system of ditches and canals. Their relationship with the Tuo River and how to find their future ecological, economic, and functional positioning are the main objectives of this project.
