Site E


This uses recessed space to create space along the riverside to meet the usage needs of both visitors and local residents. The recessed space improves existing breaks in activities caused by high-speed traffic flow and the resulting feeling of absence caused by travelers passing through quickly.

Site D


An informal event platform provides a space for student groups to perform or for migrant workers to unwind. An outdoor gallery along the riverside provides an opportunity for visitors to get exposed to local art.

Site C


Traditional markets have clear temporal natures, and the placement of elements allows the space to be used more efficiently. Once the morning markets are closed, the spaces can also be used as exploratory classrooms for elementary school students.
Site B

Two distinct, but adjacent open spaces are distinguished by type of physical activity, with paths linking the two and supporting a continuous jogging path through the city. The largest open space in the area is also integrated, providing a space for sports and performance. It also offers somewhere for local residents with different recreational goals to mingle.
Site A


Through the use of a stratified park form, I connect various activities in cultural and residential areas, including everyday education, sport, and recreation. Patches for urban birds are also provided. This area improves existing broken green belt and pedestrian space.
