    Villages, Monasteries, and Valley Ecology:Rehabilitating the Cultural Landscapes and Architecture of Tung O Trail Installation

    Project Context Northwest Lantau features a rich but vulnerable cultural landscape, including historic villages such as Sham Shek, and the Luk Wu Keung Shan monastic cluster, along with traditional agriculture, water management systems, and coastal-mountain ecology. Decades of emigration, infrastructure development, former mining activities, and environmental pressures have resulted in abandoned farmlands, declining communities, and…

    Divergent pathways to forest landscape restoration and socio-ecological impact mitigation in the Yuam River Water Diversion Project

    Project statementThe Yuam River Diversion Tunnel Project, led by Thailand’s Royal Irrigation Department, diverts water from the Yuam River across Mae Hong Son, Tak, and Chiang Mai provinces to boost storage at Bhumibol Dam for irrigation and hydropower. The project generates 6,187,135 m³ of excavated material managed in six disposal areas totaling 70.64 hectares (Naresuan…

    Engaging Infrastructure, Nature and Heritage in Sham Shek Tsuen

    This studio explores the interplay between landscape systems and human settlements. Landscape systems—defined as interconnected networks of geological, hydrological, climatic, and ecological components shaped by natural processes and human interventions—serve as the foundation for understanding how environments evolve over time. This studio emphasizes sustainable strategies that anticipate future challenges like sea-level rise, while integrating cultural…

    Refuge in the Landscape

    Refuge in the Landscape Landscapes are not static, but dynamic. This studio recognizes landscape tectonics, which refers to the underlying forces, movements, and processes that shape the forms, patterns, and structures of landscapes over time. Set on Po Toi Island, a rugged hiking destination in Hong Kong known for its unique geological formations and rock…

    Body and Object

    Avian Observatory Birdcage The studio emphasized small-scale objects and built environments as integral to our everyday experience. This project centers on exploring the relationship between the human body and objects, generating forms through a series of spatial transformations such as rotation, extrusion, shifting, rearranging, and merging to create a structure that redefines visitor-bird interactions through…

    Tropical and Temperate Marine Ecology Group Research Project in Australia

    Correlation between the abundance of Lugworm(Abarenicola haswelli) and marine animal abundance on reef flat during low tide  Observations on the reef flat revealed numerous sand dunes and water pits formed by bioturbation activities of lugworms, which restructure the landscape (Riisgård, H. U., & Banta, G. T., 1998). Multiple gobies and their burrows were frequently found…

    Ecology and Sustainability

    Enhancing Biodiversity in Shek Kip Mei Park Biodiversity plays a crucial role in sustaining ecosystem services that directly benefit human well-being and city resilience. Biodiverse urban ecosystems are often more productive and stable than those with low diversity, providing essential functions like air purification, water quality improvement, climate regulation, and opportunities for recreation and mental…

    Grounds in-motion

    Freeway Park stands as a a dynamic urban oasis that transforms the brutal scar of Interstate 5. The park softens this wound, stitching the city fabric back together through elevated terraces and pathways that facilitate pedestrian flow across the divide. Composite drawings, featuring synthesis of information, are invaluable for comprehending the Park’s innovative synthesis of…

    Garden Design Project

    I led a garden design initiative where my key responsibilities spanned the entire project lifecycle, including conceptual design, plant species selection, seedling procurement and transportation from local markets to the school site, implementation of soil erosion control measures, and ongoing daily maintenance. This hands-on involvement provided invaluable insights into the practical complexities of transforming abstract…
