the third nature - Ecology Strategy and Landscape Design for abandoned mines in Urban Fringe Area

Under the context of urbanization, Human’s early exploitation of the mountain forms a large area of abandoned mines. Meanwhile, agricultural land is encroached by the development of city. Nature has been damaged and villagers have lost their farmland. So how to make a sustainable development in this urban fringe area is the burning issue. The site is located in Tanwei, an urban fringe area of Nansha District, including natural mountain, abandoned mines, Traditional villages and new urban districts. So I try to tap the potential linkages between nature and manmade environments and come up with new solutions to turn contraditions like environment disruption and rural renewal into coexistence elements for organizing an efficient, sustainable and liveable complex by using the idea of "urban agriculture" and "third nature". The village will be renewed, the agriculture will be transformed, and the city will be reconstructed with the ecological restoration. The aim is to establish a spatial order in which biological species are shared under the condition of human interaction and creat a world in a hybrid form in which organisms, social groups and technological products are interrelated, which is the core of repairing the site and supporting future development.
