To whom it may concern,
I am Jing Li, a first year student in RISD MLA 2 program. I am eager for practicing and developing my skills in landscape design. For me, landscape projects are like smaller gears to
deliver power and make the city run better. Grew up in China, I witnessed lots of examples of the changes brought by good landscape designs. Charm of diverse landscape become my
motivation to go further in this way, and to work in a great firm like EDSA is one of my dream.
As far as I know, EDSA has lots of projects in a wild range of scale, I went to the Downtown Disneyland last year and I found it was very attractive and well arranged. EDSA designed so
many sustainable places during the last 50 years and made great achievements in lots of areas such as working and living space design and planning.
Leading by my understanding of landscape, I treated every project in college as gear, which truly connected to development and optimization of our environment. The Programs I did
in RISD are new gears with deeper knowledge of nature. I learned how to think about underground condition, to analyze the phenomena, to design with threshold and to deal with the
details in construction here as well as how to make process models quickly to help thinking. As for my undergraduate programs, I practiced in different scales, from a series of structures
to plan and design for an urban district. Varieties of designing methods as well as the understanding of my gear theory were gained from all these projects. My internship in China
Academy of Urban Planning and Design (CAUPD) updated my understanding of gearing city in several ways such as how to directly optimize the city gear itself in sustainable ways, how
to protect and develop wetland parks, and how to respect existing creatures and environment while developing a scenic. These projects revealed the promotion made by city gears and
gave a bright future of landscape design and planning to me.
As a well-prepared student and a landscape architect, I am sincerely expecting to participate in and contribute my knowledge and skills to your program in EDSA. Thank you for your
time in reading this and hope to join you in this summer.
Best,
Jing Li

TILLINGHAST FARM
To design landscape is to begin with understanding what is beneath the ground.Started from folding paper, I began to develop a system with an unit, than apply it in analyzing the soil profile.
To introduce this paper study into the site - Tillinghast Farm, a coastal site that moves from an upland, pastoral open space, down through a woodland, marshers and finally arrives at a beach, we broke the site exploration into three investigations: of ground, of phenomena, and finally, of site spatial transitions.
We digged into ground to see the composition of soil at different locations on site. Based on the specific section I was focusing, the soil horizon models represent the layers of ground as they change from the surface to a depth of 8 feet below this surface.

b: Threshold between tophill & upland
- HYDroLogY- ToPograPHY- VEgETaTIon- HYDroLogYWalking on the section, we can see the mainly transect from the small sketches
from the upland to the beach. Based on the soil composition and other conditions, I analyzed the transition of hydrology, vegetation and topography and made a series of models to show the thresholds.The ground transect model represents the change in surface topography, vegetation and the hyfrology condition of the section. The two detail models are focused on two specific area that has apparently thresholds and how they affect people.

PHENOMENA MODEL OF NEW THRESHOLD
Inteangible and dynamic elements are integral components to landscape space. After documented changes in light and moisture from the farm down to the beach, I translated the transition into visual, spatial, and 3-dimentional representations to understandhow these phenomena respond to the site, then I began to focus on a specific area where has intersting transition in topography, hydrology, light, and vegetation.
From all these study, I finally chose an area to insert the new pogram
- CLAssROOM
To better understand scale and threshold, we made a 1=1 installation in the site to see how the new threshold in topography and vegetation influence the Tillinghast Farm.

To create a speacial space for people to gather and learn, I cut a sharp slope near the new threshold I made before.Planted different species of trees under the slope and let people on the top can touch the canopy and see seasonal changes during the year,The spaces around the slope and the small hill are fluid so that people will have multiple choice to stay and play. The material and structures are inserted to make the slope become an attractive point in the whole site and people can walking on different elevation to experience more. The stones on the surface indicate the contour lines and also show the angel of slope through the combination of vegetation.

The entrance is inserted to lead people from different points to notice the classroom and go to experience it.To keep the continuity with the classroom, I used the same design method -- topography edition, and material -- red steel.
Cut the mounds and add red material on the surface so that people can only see it from one side. The series of edition then become an indication for people to restrict their circulation and sight and lead them to the classroom.

In summer, people could use the cooler area to gather and play, the slope will be the most attractive part where people are able to interact with the trees and learn about them.The top area will be fully used in both summer and winter due to the different temperature and light condition.
In winter, people will mainly use the warmer area, the evergreen and deciduous trees will create different experience for them so that they can enjoy different spaces and learn about the tree species.

In different tidal condition, the edge of this site will
change apparently. The water will be pushed inside
and submerge some area, the higher part will be
strengthen instead.
Due to the direction of tide, the new edge will be
the protection and create harbors for vegetation
and kayaks.
Different landform created by cut and fill also
provide people with multiple experience, in some
place, people goes down and their view will be
blocked, in another area, they could walk up and
overview the whold site and the city view from
another side.
Due to the different speed and direction
of water, the vegetation along the coast
will have great diversity from lawn to
marsh.
The circulation will also change when
the tide is in different elevation.
The main circulation is east-west
direction, people are led to the edge to
see the ocean and city view as well as
the diverse vegetation.

GABION WALL is used as
retaining construction to let water
comes in and out;
FLOATING WOOD DECK is placed
to give people more possibilities
to feel and play with the water
and plants. It can be lifted by the
tide so that people can always
walking on the water.
As the biggest waterfront
gathering space, WOOD and
GRANITE are used as paving to
enrich people's experience.
JOINT PLANTING is used here at
4' height so that people are able
to occupy that area even in the
high tide.

Vegetation is inserted according to the topography condition, trees are more dense in where the slope is sharper and looser in flat area. There is no trees in the most flat area where people could go through or gather and reach the top of the hill.
Trees along the stream are more random compared with the other area, which will create space that people can approach the stream. The space divided by vegetation are connected with the main road, which allow people from the road go into the whole site.
