Being brought up in the highly populated Asian Metropolitan - Hong Kong, I am especially aware of the problem<br />
brought by vehicle-oriented urban structure over limited land on our landscape. My design strategy is to create<br />
soft landscape with ecological balance in a simple and pragmatic way utilizing existing resource, making our cities<br />
more livable and sustainable.<br />

Ecological design - Sheaf Square Extension<br />
This project targets to create an urban ood alleviation park using the existing vacant land adjacent<br />
to She eld rail station. A low-lying wetland will be created by opening up the river Porter Brook running<br />
along the site assisted by careful grading. The park will also help increasing biodiversity by integrated<br />
habitat design whilst mitigating ooding in She eld city centre.<br />

Public square design - CIQ Square<br />
The project aims at renewing the Cultural Industries Quarter in She eld, which is a public space located<br />
between the Student Union of She eld Hallam University and a number of art galleries, originally serves<br />
as the cultural heart of She eld. The design approach is to create a multi-functioned public space, with<br />
easy access and balance of soft and hard landscape.<br />

Construction detail design - Library courtyard<br />
The project emphasises on level manipulation, spatial composition and material usage. The site is<br />
a raised terrace area of She eld Western Bank Library, which is expected to be redesigned into a<br />
pleasant recreational space for sta and student of the university. The main idea of this project is to<br />
created a bridge-like walkway with large piece of lowered grassland for visual stimulation whilst<br />
providing recreation use.<br />

Qualitative research -<br />
Participation of disabled children in play space<br />
The research looks at how community participation is included during the design, construction and<br />
management of public space. The topic is chosen because public engagement in landscape design<br />
will undoubtedly enhance the design outcome especially on serving local needs and re ecting local<br />
values, yet the way to engage public needs cautious considerations. It is hoped to obtain understanding<br />
on community participation to assist future landscape projects.<br />
