The document provides descriptions of several landscape architecture and site design projects by Zhen Feng. They include:
1) The Atlanta Beltline Corridor Design which created a signature public space along reclaimed railroad tracks.
2) The Florida International University Campus Master Plan which reinforced the university's identity through landmarks, precincts, and open spaces.
3) The Panama Entertainment District Master Plan which transformed underutilized land into a mixed-use district connected by a green ribbon park.
The document proposes constructing a sustainable picnic pavilion and rain garden on Clemson University's campus as a student-led project. It discusses goals of providing an inviting outdoor space for students while managing stormwater runoff. 5 potential sites are analyzed near student centers and green spaces, with considerations for sun exposure, soil conditions, and proximity to dining. The project would include a wooden pavilion, 165 gallon cistern, and 300-400 square foot native plant rain garden. Case studies on similar structures and an existing campus rain garden provide examples.
This case study summarizes the renovation of Andrew H. Wilson Elementary School in New Orleans to meet high sustainability standards. Key strategies included reuse of the existing building, daylighting design to reduce energy loads, an efficient thermal envelope, renewable energy systems, and collaboration between various stakeholders.
