This is a landscape architecture portfolio by Jackie Tang, a graduate from California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo with a Bachelor of Landscape Architecture and a minor in Architecture. The portfolio is intended for potential employers or clients in the landscape design industry.
The portfolio begins with an introduction and a table of contents listing sections: Academic Work, Study Abroad, Personal Artwork, and a Design Build project at the University of Washington. It also includes a contact page with email, phone number, and address in San Francisco.
The main academic project presented is 'Beacon of Hope,' focusing on the remediation and redevelopment of Hunter's Point Naval Shipyard in San Francisco. The text details the site's history of contamination from nuclear bomb testing in Bikini Atoll and subsequent improper disposal of contaminants by the U.S. Navy.
The project discusses the timeline of the shipyard's closure in 1974, its designation as a Superfund site, and the phased remediation process by parcels. Design goals include affordable housing, wetland restoration, green space, quality of life improvements, and connectivity to surrounding neighborhoods.
The portfolio also covers soil remediation methods, including physical removal, in situ burial, bioremediation, mycoremediation, phytoremediation, encapsulation, soil washing, and thermal desorption. The text explains the types of contaminants removed and the importance of remediation for environmental and human health.
