This document summarizes a planning study trip to Shanghai in June 2011 to kickoff design of a major mixed-use project in the suburbs. The sketches and comments discuss the partially developed site and originally approved program. They consider tower scenarios and massing options to establish a signature Guang Group presence in Shanghai within modest budget constraints. The project aims to be a lively destination with residential, retail, and office uses anchored by an iconic high-rise tower.

This portfolio contains three studio projects and one professional project when I was in undergraduate and graduate schools. All of them were designed with an attempt to seek and apply the logics behind space, function, and sustainability.
This portfolio includes some of the landscape architecture undergraduate student projects I have done in China and the U.S in the past few years. Because of the shortage of time, some parts might not be informative enough to you. An improved version would be uploaded shortly afterward.

We want to hear what you think about the landscape and aesthetic concepts for SR-91
The Riverside County Transportation Commission (RCTC) and their project partners are preparing to make improvements to State Route 91 from Corona to Riverside. Final design activities are now underway, with construction planned to start in early 2014 and new lanes expected to open in 2017.
The City of Corona has a unique opportunity to provide input concerning the landscaping and aesthetic features of the project. The City of Corona has expressed a strong desire for the project to include consistent and appealing aesthetic features throughout the project length. To that end, RCTC is providing three alternative concepts for application in the corridor. These three concepts present themes and individual features in sufficient detail to solicit input from City officials and constituents. Your comments are important; please take the time to review the alternative concepts below and provide feedback via email at SR91Project@ci.corona.ca.us by July 17, 2013. Your feedback will be considered by City officials as they provide feedback to the project team at a Study Session on July 24, 2013.

Putting the SPARK into Virtual Training.pptxCynthia Clay
This 60-minute webinar, sponsored by Adobe, was delivered for the Training Mag Network. It explored the five elements of SPARK: Storytelling, Purpose, Action, Relationships, and Kudos. Knowing how to tell a well-structured story is key to building long-term memory. Stating a clear purpose that doesn't take away from the discovery learning process is critical. Ensuring that people move from theory to practical application is imperative. Creating strong social learning is the key to commitment and engagement. Validating and affirming participants' comments is the way to create a positive learning environment.

2. A High Rise Planning Study
Shanghai
In June of 2011, I traveled to Shanghai to meet with the
Guang Group project team to kickoff the planning and
design of a major mixed-use project in the suburbs.
The following probe / sketch book begins to test some of
the client presumptions and opportunity.
The program, density, F.A.R. and massing was
originally approved from the initial master plan and the
never completed project has footings in place for the first
phase high rise and hotel.
The sketches and comments are onsite observations and
are meant only for information rather than design direction.
That being said, the client group and their partner do have a
quality / character in mind that will help to establish a
Guang Group in Shanghai.
This project is the first entry into the Shanghai
market and will be followed by others that are currently
under development. The significance of the project is
underscored by the fact that its project manager is Guang
President, Larry Zhang.

iconic building and
this image
generated lots of
discussion.
The site is in the Shanghai suburbs and is partially
developed. Vehicular access is from the east, primarily
with partial southern and northern connectors.
A subway stop is being created along the southern edge
affording a pedestrian link to the site. A creek parallels the
southern edge to the property and will require remediation
to accommodate pedestrian access to the subway
station.
The high speed rail linking Beijing and Shanghai lies west
of the site about a mile away. Major roadways are
E parallel to the east and south property edges.
4. Al Dana at Al Raha Beach, Abu Dhabi, UAE
As part of the work sessions Lewis presented numerous
tower scenarios and the high rise on the right side of the Al
Dana image was of interest to them.
The site is featureless and very low / flood prone.
It is approximately 40 acres in size, rectilinear and
barren of trees and vegetation. Structural foundations
are in place for the 24 story tower and 9 story hotel.
Drawings do exist for what was proposed initially but
was not completed. These footprints and F.A.R. are
already established for Phase One. First task is to re-
think the original project and create a much more
-skin, but a lot more.
Phase Two is up to us but as originally planned, it is
comprised of four 19 story commercial / office towers.
5. The mix of uses lends itself to a lively destination of residential,
is to be removed and the site re-developed.
The long narrow site is configured with a mix of uses
already approved by the local authorities though the
layout is flexible the F.A.R. is set.
An unusual discussion was to design the office towers
with a floor to floor height of 5.2 meters to be client
converted to two floors in future phases.
6. Gakuen Spiral Tower
Though the Gakuen
Tower was one of the
preferred images
presented to the
client group, Lewis
reminded the team
that variance from a
simple form could be
a serious cost issue.
The project must be respondent to modest budget and
proforma. However the adjacent sketch was done for Larry
on one of several attempts to communicate the perimeter
wall complexity as a driver of project costs.

development. The north edge is built-out with high rises

simplified skin and floor plate would also better reflect the
project budget and construction costs.
An idea discussed was to have the four buildings in the
rear of the site act as a single or standalone element. The
massing is peculiar and the constructability complicated
and costly.
To best reflect the modest budget requirements, a much
more straight-forward design response is required..
