Xiuyan is a landscape designer with a background in agriculture.
She graduated from the MLA program at RISD in the summer of 2022 and has been living and working in San Francisco for 2 years.
Her design strongly focuses on the features of sites, using design as a tool to promote people-place relationships. She is interested in ecology, botany, and space making.
The software she commonly uses are Arc Map, Auto CAD, LandFX, BlueBeam, Rhino, Sketch Up, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Indesign.
This project is based on a site with heavy industrial history. Part of the land is filled with slags and there is also pollutant area covered with concrete cap. We carefully transformed it into a bird-friendly sanctuary for seeing its merit in location and natural resources.
