Abstract
"Our approach started with a thorough evaluation of the site's conditions, prioritizing the mitigation of soil erosion and water management challenges within the park. To address these concerns, we proposed a terraced landscape, strategically designed to decelerate water flow and optimize absorption within the park. Subsequently, the water is channeled into a wetland/marsh or rain garden to effectively collect runoff. Complementing this design, we envisioned a thoughtfully crafted pier structure, providing spaces for community engagement through both enclosed activity rooms and open areas along the pier.
