My design is an exhibition center in the island.
This creates spectacular viewing points of
Yarra River and Herring Island. My design
also resolved accessibility on site by creating
a bridge facing to the north. By doing so,
this quick access enables the people to more
engage in the surrounds. It not only greatly engage in the surrounds. It not only greatly
enhanced the people’s experiences on site but
also created a better means of connection with
the public.

Architecture ties structural elements and
spacestogether to achieve cohesion.
Connections in urban design link three
distinct types of elements with each other:
natural elements, human activity nodes,
and architectural elements. Examples of
natural elements include a riverbank, a natural elements include a riverbank, a
group of trees, a large boulder, or a patch
of grass.

Architecture Embraces Nature
A conceptual garden designed to demonstrate how any available space in
an urban setting has the potential to be used to develop new local and
sustainable food growing spaces while enhancing urban greening.
The central structure embodied environmentally sustainable features
including a hydroponic wall fed by a borehole via a water tower and power
to irrigate provided by a wind turbine and photovoltaic wall converting daylight
into electricity.into electricity.

referred to as 'natural architecture', it aims to create a new,
more harmonious, relationship between man and nature by
exploring what it means to design with nature in mind.

a sustainable high-rise "concept garden"
The B&Q garden at the Chelsea Flower Show 2011 included a 9 meter high tower
that is the positive urban way of the future
The glass box stands five stories tall,
can fit just two or three people at a time
on each floor.The show may be superficially
about plants and people living in harmony
with nature in straightened times.By consent,
the most appropriate show garden exhibit was
said to be the Australian Garden, brought over said to be the Australian Garden, brought over
from Melbourne. With London having received
less rainfall in May than Alice Springs, its red
sand, salt sculptures, water hole and dry
riverbed may just be the future of gardening
in Chelsea.

Collaborating with Nature
When architecture and the natural world combine, both are transformed.
“The exterior and interior connections between buildings
and private and public spaces provide a rich environment
where an emphasis on livability prevails.”
Wang Shu's Amateur Architecture Studio
is known for incorporating recycled
building materials from torn-down
structures in new ones. Wang Shu often
works with construction workers directly
to incorporate discarded bricks, roof tiles
and other detritus into elegant, and other detritus into elegant,

The museum, which includes recycled architectural materials
from the area, “is one of those unique buildings that while
striking in photos, is even more moving when experienced,”
the jury said. “The museum is an urban icon, a well-tuned
repository for history and a setting where the visitor comes
first.”
“Everywhere you can see, they don’t care about the materials,” Mr. Wang said in an interview.
“They just want new buildings, they just want new things. I think the material is not just about
materials. Inside it has the people’s experience, memory — many things inside. So I think it’s for
an architect to do something about it.”
