Polluted Paradise - Interaweaving, Metabolism, Activation
Project description
Terceira, a sublime island of nature, is green and threatening - The inappropriate exploitation of natural resources exacerbates the island's environmental problems. Meanwhile, heavy metal pollution from U.S. military bases still threatens the local population.
There is an urgent need for action on the Island of Terceira to be responsible for public safety and to integrate natural resources effectively.
The booklet begins with the background environment of Terceira, delves into my pollution research at Lajes Field, and provides a landscape evolution model for pollution control from a landscape architect's perspective. The heavy metal pollution at Lajes was a combination of political interests, technical management and events. Situated in the North Atlantic, a healthy and sustainable material cycle is essential for the relatively isolated islands.
Skipping from page to page, the three design concepts of interweaving, metabolism and Activision run through the study, the work focuses on the specific sources of pollution at the Terceira military base and provides landscape strategies for each source. At the same time, decontamination is only the first stage, and once the pollution is reduced, the detailed site will be developed into an ambitious town park that complements existing cultural and natural facilities and generates income for local residents. These green spaces will be connected into a complete landscape system, which will become Terceira's "Emerald Necklace."
As the bearer of process and material flow, the landscape space connects the public interest, natural ecosystem, and international market.It is an town node, an interface with local infrastructure, a set of ecological and cultural public Spaces. It generates a lot of events, interest, and users, and then finally activates the entire area.
More importantly, the town park demonstrates the significance of natural culture and education. Its evolution is a monument to human introspection. In a sense, the project activates not only the site and the city but also the ecological ideology.
Polluted Paradise
The drawing identifies detailed sources and levels of pollution in different areas. According to the pollution situation of different sites, pollution control can be targeted with various hyperaccumulators.
Analysis of Pollution Source
Bioremediation Unit Model
Anti-pollution, Revenue-generating, Recall Wilderness
The three bioremediation unit models will form a complete system to control soil pollution, Apart from the hyperaccumulator, the local residents in each drawing are the key part. They will contribute to the environment and economy by planting and harvesting hyperaccumulators and outline a circular economy in the landscape.
Three Bioremediation Unit Models
Model1 - Lavender Bioremediation Unit
Model2- Economic Forest Activity
Model3 - Sugarcane
Oil Storage Tank Heavy Metal Treatment Area
After two stages of Tank demolition process and the economic forest activity, oil and heavy metal pollution in the soil is gradually reduced and the potential of town forest park is beginning to emerge as reforestation strengthens and improves the natural environment.

Interweaving, Metabolism, Activation
Low Carbon ＆ Material Cycle
Wood materials for the bird-watching boardwalk can from the second phase of economic forest activities. Besides, the museum materials are made from fungi grown in the production experience space and agricultural waste, showing the potential market of environmentally friendly new materials. It also hosts local entertainment activities and a series of cultural and art exhibitions.
