			We analyze the site in two aspects:

			First, we considered the relationship between the site and people. We realized that the connectivity between the valley and the city is weak, both visually and functionally. And we noticed that there are many good viewpoints on our site but they are undervalued and badly utilized.

			Second, on the pure natural aspect, we analyzed the drainage and vegetation of the site.

			According to the distribution of plants, we drew the picture of watersheds and runoff. It helps to determine the location of infiltration trenches in our collaborative design.

			As to the vegetation, we realized that plants on the slight slope act well as buffer strips. However the riverbed is bare because of the development recently. This is what we should solve in the design later.

			Further on, we recognized the vegetation type on the site and divided the site into several zones according to this. We also drew a typical section of the site to show the vegetation dynamic along with the division.

			At last we selected some typical species on our site, including trees, shrubs and herbaceous plants. They are native or adaptive to the site and will be used in the planting design later.

	~~''Please reflect on your collaborative design process. Which potentials have you encountered? What was most difficult? What does collaborative design mean for you? (approx 150 words).''~~

	In our case, the colaborative design process was a very interesting one with, hopefully fulfilling result. In the making of the design the water control and vegetation planting were the ideas that gave the site a sustenable design. The proposal potential was of an integrated sustenable design thanks to the influence of the different landcscape designs: spanish, chinese and romaininan. We took into consideration posible floods, possible landslide, and the posibility of the construction development in the aluvian plain. Speaking different languages is a problem everywhere, but in our case we managed to surpass that problem right from the beggining. A succesful design is only by colaborating with other professionals and get new ways of viewing the problem. By collaborating with different people with different culture and background not only we get more experince on working as a team, but new informations about how planting design is viewed and used in other countries.
