The Chengtoushan Skywalk is located in the expansive rice fields of the Dongting Lake alluvial plain in Lixian County, Hunan. With a typical span of around 9 meters, the bridge is classified as a small-scale structure. To minimize disturbance to the archaeological site and surrounding farmland, the bridge is elevated above the fields. Suspended 4 meters above ground, the glass skywalk reduces human impact on the land while offering an elevated platform with expansive views—including u...

This project is located in Erdaobaihe Town, Changbai Mountain, Jilin Province. The site is situated at a relatively high elevation within the town and faces a vast forest of Beauty Pines and the converging waters of the Erdaobaihe River. A key design challenge was how to leverage the site’s unique location to create a strong scenic experience while also establishing a distinct identity that would turn the area into a vibrant urban destination for Erdaobaihe Town. A pedestrian bridge w...

The project is located in the Songlanshan Scenic Area of Xiangshan County, Ningbo City. It is a coastal sightseeing boardwalk designed to enhance the visitor experience. The scenic area features multiple beaches, which attract large crowds during the summer months for swimming and recreation. Previously, the beaches were connected only by a municipal road for vehicles, offering a poor pedestrian experience. Moreover, the rocky shoreline, which offers the best scenic viewpoints, was largely ...

The entrance corridor of the Youth Cave Scenic Area in the Hongqi Canal Scenic Zone resembles a red silk ribbon fluttering across the Taihang Mountains. The Hongqi Canal "Taihang Sky Ladder" is located at the entrance of the Youth Cave Scenic Area in Lin County, Anyang City. The structure primarily consists of walkways, with some sections integrated with functional buildings. It covers a construction area of 1,314.41m², a ramp area of 1,918.25m², and spans a length of 353.77m. The "Ta...

Located in Beijing’s Daxing District, the Yongxing River Greenway reimagines traditional urban flood control infrastructure. Instead of a hardened channel, it transforms the seasonal drainage corridor into a resilient green sponge that retains and filters stormwater while creating a productive, ecological, and community-centered green infrastructure. Formerly known as the "Heaven River," Yongxing River is a major stormwater corridor in the region, with a 300 km² catchment area and a 3...

Located along both banks of the Fujiang River in the heart of Tongnan District, the Dafosi Wetland Park is a rare urban riverine oasis adjacent to the renowned Dafosi Scenic Area. The emergency escape skywalk, stretching 370 meters in its main section, connects elevated municipal roads, parking areas, and a visitor center on the south end to the internal slow-walking paths of the wetland on the north. Elevated above the flood warning level, the bridge integrates scenic riverside walking wit...

Qinhuangdao Botanical Garden is located in Haigang District, Qinhuangdao City, covering 26.5 hectares. It borders the Tang River to the east, facing the internationally renowned landscape installation “Red Ribbon” across the water. Flanked by the western and northern ring roads, the garden forms a key node in the Tang River Ecological Corridor, linking mountain and sea. Once a nursery scattered with dilapidated factories and strewn with refuse, the site was transformed in 2006 when the city...

Located in Hedong District of Tianjin, Qiaoyuan Park is bounded by Tianshan Road to the east, Panshan Road to the south, Kunlun Road to the west, and Weiguo Road to the north, backed by the Weiguo Road Interchange. The project takes the concept of the bridge as a central design motif—considering its psychological, architectural, and cultural dimensions, and its resonance with Tianjin’s identity—to create a unique "Bridge Park" that reflects local culture. A bridge is a structure of co...

Extreme rainfall and flash flooding are becoming increasingly frequent and severe, but most cities are ill-equipped to cope with these risks. In highly concretised urban environments, the “sponge city” is an urban planning strategy that builds climate resilience through restoring water’s natural patterns. We’ve been talking about sponge cities since 2016, and we’re thrilled to finally speak to the “Father of Sponge Cities,” Dr. Kongjian Yu. He is the Founder and Principal Designer at Turenscape,...

This project, located in Yiwu City, Zhejiang Province, was conceived as a response to urban challenges such as flooding, water pollution, solid waste, and construction debris. Inspired by traditional local agricultural wisdom, the design vision for Yiwu Binjiang Park was to create a low-maintenance, cost-efficient urban park capable of stormwater regulation, water purification, support for native biodiversity, and productive use of space—while also offering rich recreational and exploratory...
