LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE / URBAN DESIGN

SELECTED WORKS AND RESEARCH DIRECTIONS

2018 - 2023

In a few paragraphs, it's hard to summarize the connection between landscape architecture and me comprehensively. My understanding of landscape architecture is based on exploring objective existence, examining my inner self, and using external influences to reflect on my own growth.

Therefore, landscape architecture is not a process of re-creating, superimposing, and reorganizing elements but a process entirely in line with my heart, where objectivity and subjectivity merge. There must be a subjective motivation for the design, which must be considered to be accepted by the objective. As I continue to explore the depth and breadth of landscape architecture, I am also thinking about how to grasp an understanding of the natural world while growing in self-will and vice versa.

The portfolio of my student life encapsulates my rough thoughts and understanding of the above issues and is the beginning of my knowledge of landscape architecture. Many of today's popular concepts, such as landscape urbanism, ecologism, sustainable design and resilience, and landscape as a service to the community, have been touched upon. I plan to continue to explore these concepts in depth in the future.
