the process of Traditional Chinese painting

Most of traditional South Chinese gardens are designed for individuals and private utilization. Thus, the normal form of garden is enclosure, and limitedly services users in the garden. To satisfy the requirement from the modern urban area as well as the public space, the initial concept of this project is to transform the Chinese garden from enclosure into exposure, so that increase the accessibility and the public utilization. The users can enjoy the environment of traditional Chinese garden in the urban context and bring the daily urban activities in this unique environment.

Four Treasures of the study

the introduction of Chinese Four Treasures of studyThe distinctive and elegant arts of Chinese calligraphy and painting have taken a prominent place in the international art world. Any person involved in the traditional Chinese arts of painting and calligraphy must rely heavily on the brush pen, ink, paper, and the inkstone, for it is only through these tools that the beauty of Chinese art receives concrete expression. As a result, much importance has been attached the "four treasures of the study."

The earliest brush pen can trace back two thousand years ago. The construction of brushes are adapted to a specific purpose such as painting or calligraphy and desired effect to be achieved such as clearly defined characters or blurred ones.

The ink-stick is the pigment of Chinese traditional painting and calligraphy. A good inkstick is finely grained and has an even and smooth texture. It is pure, solid black in color, without murkiness or roughness.

Paper was invented by a Chinese named Cai Lun around 105 A.D. Paper produced in Xuan city, Anhui province called Xuan paper is the best with the features of white, toughness and strong hydroscopicity.

The inkstone is an appliance used to grind inkstick most which are made from stone as well as pottery. To use the traditional inkstick, an inkstone is required. A little water is added to the inkstone, and the inkstick is ground.

This project located in the downtown of Xuan City. “Four Treasures of the Study” is the most famous products from this city, and plays an important role in the local traditional culture. Therefore, the city wants to build a museum, which combines with the public open space to improve the local culture and tourism. The Site is in the middle of the downtown, and is surrounded by many commercial buildings, hotels, and offices. Thus this location provides an opportunity to create a space that services more citizens and tourists, and also promote the urban public environment.

architectural Concept

Formation process

The structural concept is from the traditional Ch inese pa in t ing , wh ich has un ique characteristics to express the natural scenery. In order to create the feature of mountain and integrate the artificial structure with the nature, several partition walls with waving edge become the marked shape of the museum. The entire architectural style is learning from the local architecture form, which could simply describe as “white wall and grey tiles.”

This project explores the embedded connections between people and place. These connections will be explored within the context of the Snake and Columbia River Basins. The Snake and Columbia River Ba¬sins exemplify a primary concern confronting regions of the Western U.S.: How can diverse inhabitants simultaneously obtain and sustain the environment required for life within a shifting landscape.

In response to these natural and social issues in the Snake River region, the developing strategy for the region can be divided into three main

steps-- restoration, infrastructure, and recreation. Restoration process will focus on the water purification from the industry, and river improvement.

A comprehensive infrastructure system will provide the region more opportunities to improve the quality of life and reveal the local economy. The

impacts of tourism and recreational activities in the region will highly benefit by the former process of restoration and development of infrastructure.

By restoration, the river would return many rapids, beaches and islands, and provide river recreation, such as boating, kayaking, hunting, wildlife watch-

ing, hiking, camping and other related activities that could bring an additional non-fishing recreational income. The economic benefits could also be

provided by the improved quality of life, drawing new businesses and residents to Snake River communities.

The snake river is a major river of the greater pacific northwest in the United States. It is the largest tribu-

tary of the Columbia River, and the largest North American river that empties into the pacific ocean. Rugged

mountains divided by rolling plains characterize the watershed of the Snake River. More than 11,000 years

ago, prehistoric Native Americans lived along the Snake River. The nez perce and shoshone were the most

powerful people in the region. salmon from the Pacific Ocean spawned in the millions in the river.

The Clearwater river is the largest tributary of the Snake River in Idaho, which flows westward from the

Bitterroot Mountains along the Idaho-Montana border, and joins the Snake River at lewiston. The border

between washington and idaho was defined as the meridian running north from the confluence of the

Clearwater River and the Snake River. lower granite dam is part of the Columbia River Basin system of dams.

It was built and is operated by the United States Army Corps of Engineers to generate the power. The Lower

Granite dam caused the declines of wild salmon population in the Snake River, and has been collecting sedi-

ment over the years and is currently 55% full.

Lewiston is the county seat of nez perce County in the Pacific Northwest

state of Idaho. It is the second-largest city in the northern Idaho region.

Lewiston is located at the confluence of the Snake River and Clearwater

River, thirty miles northwest of the Lower Granite Dam.

Because of dams (and their locks) on the Snake and Columbia River, Lewiston is reachable by some ocean-going ves-

sels. The port of lewiston (Idaho’s only seaport) has the distinction of being the farthest inland port east of the West

Coast of the United States. Barges of timber products, grain, and other goods are shipped via the Snake-Columbia

system to the pacific ocean. The main industries in Lewiston are agriculture, paper and timber products, and light

manufacturing.

levees of the river

Along much of the Snake River and Clearwater River is a system of levees to protect against flooding. Most

of the levees are maintained by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Downtown Lewiston, at 756 feet, is only

slightly higher in elevation than the river, about 740 ft. Away from downtown the terrain gains elevation

quickly. The heavily residential southern half of the city is referred to as “The Orchards.” This area is much

higher in elevation than downtown.

This project addressed issues from perspectives of economy, ecology, and culture, and then tried to

reconnect the historic downtown with the river, utilizing reclaimed riverfront lands for public markets,

recreation, tourism and commerce. According to the analysis of regional strategy above, this project

integrated water bio-purification system with urban public space to created sustainable infrastruc-

ture for Lewiston. Therefore, built a balance between protection and human use. And also, diverse

programs in this open space would bring significant value and amenities to the city.

PuBLiC &PriVaTeTo enrich the spatial experiences, this plan utilize the architec-tural structure, plants, as well as circulation system to create abundant spaces of activities. According to the functional dis-tinction of the urban campus, the plan has specific consider-ation from the need of the public and the private space.

The vision for the project is to create a sense of community and belonging. Thus, I plan an enclosure shape of buildings on the campus. This concept based on the limited campus area and open space surround by traffics, which bring noise and circula-tion. What’s more, the enclosure shape can create more com-munication opportunities for the users on the campus.

A variety of parking lots existing around the outside of the campus. In order to increase the accessibility of the campus and create a walking friendly environment, several paths have been built between the buildings in a reasonable way.

Campus is a place that provides the facility and space for communication, study, research and thinking. Considering the location, surroundings and the function of this campus, my main goal in this project is building different types of spaces to satisfy the needs from the students, faculty, as well as the citizens. At the same time, explore more possibilities of space that enrich the experience and activities in this limited urban area.

The overall pattern strategy is “the in-between” which identified by herzberger. As he said: the thresh-old provides the key to the transition and connection between areas with divergent territorial, claims and, as a place in its own right, it constitutes, essentially, the spatial condition for the meeting and dialogue between areas of different orders.

The Riverpoint Campus is an urban research campus of Washington State University and located near both down-town Spokane and the Spokane River.

In this auto restricted zone, the building on the campus need to closely link with each other in a physical way. People can easily walking from one place to another. The idea of this ob-jective is letting users’activities decides the site planning, rather than the site planning control the activities.

Indoor and outdoor spaces are both significant elements in this urban campus, and they have their own specific activities and functions. As a response to the strategy of “The In-Be-tween”, the site planning combines diverse types of indoor and outdoor spaces, which as a part of urban facility. These spaces serve different kinds of users from the city.

The Spokane County Courthouse was constructed in 1895 just off of Monroe Street to the North of the Spokane River as a gesture to the outlying communities that the courthouse would serve more than just the downtown of Spokane. Other government buildings include the Juvenile Court, Spokane County Law Library, Spokane County Jail, Spokane County Human Resources, Spokane County Facili-ties, and Spokane County Emergency Management.

Spokane, located in eastern Washington, serves as the business, transportation, medi-cal, industrial and cultural hub of the Inland Northwest, an area that comprises a popula-tion of more than 1.4 million people.

railroad development of the area happened in the 1880s, and their structures were prevalent in the area. The West Central District, which Monroe Street runs through, is where religious organizations construct-ed churches during the late 1880s. Monroe Street connected to the downtown of Spokane by the Monroe street bridge. A concrete bridge was constructed and finished by 1912; at the time it was the longest spanning contrete-arch bridge in the United States.

Keeping in tradition with Spokane’s character of a destination town for entertainment and community during the winter months, saloons and apartments sprang up along Monroe Street. The top right picture shows Monroe Street during the early 1900s and shows the presence of the railroads cutting through the west Central neighborhood.

The sinto street rail Spur encouraged heavy commercial/light indus-trial development in the West Central Neighborhood, with some of these turn-of-the-century buildings remaining today. The blocks west of Monroe Street, and even half of the blocks lining Monroe Street con-tain many single-family dwelling units. Some are from the early 1900s, when well-to-do Spokane residents had homes constructed for them.

Landscape is usually steep slope area, with high environmental value, dense vegetation coverage, and abundant water-shed, which are all extremely sensitive area to construction. Once disturbance from construction takes place, multi-ecosys-tem of the whole region may be severely destroyed.Medium sensitive areas are usually glade and orchestra on relatively plain area, with a high vegetation diversity and high landscape value. While playing a significant role in maintaining environmental functions of sensitive areas, these areas are sensitive to human activities and difficult to recover once damaged.

Weak sensitive areas are plain green spaces with inferior landscape value and higher elevation, and farmlands. These areas are able to bear human activities to some extent. However, extreme disturbance may lead to soil erosion and related dam-age and be hard to recover.

The whole site was divided in five levels. From this figure it can be concluded that due to the influence of watershed loca-tion, the area along the river is in the lowest level and least suitable for construction. The second least suitable area is the area covered by forest due to the slope and vegetation. And some other areas suffered by potential flood are also not suit-able for construction.

Based on the GIS analysis and existed scenic spots, we planned the core scenic region from two perspectives: Ecological Protection and Cultural Protection.There are three main distributions of floras in the core scenic region, so naturally divided the site into three parts to restore the ecology. We planned several monitor and research programs for the ecosystem and utilize them to built new scenic spots. In between and the edge of the floras, variety of programs have been planned for recreation.
