Kongjian Yu Spoke at The Cultural Landscape Foundation：Soak It Up - Combating Climate Change with Landscape Architecture
Lecturer：Kongjian Yu
As climate change accelerates, urban flooding and water mismanagement pose significant challenges for cities worldwide. This session explores innovative, nature-based solutions from three global leaders in landscape architecture—Kongjian Yu (China), Kotchakorn Voraakhom (Thailand), and Herbert Dreiseitl (Germany).
Learn how the "sponge cities" concept, porous urban design, and blue/green infrastructure can transform water from a threat into a vital resource. Through groundbreaking case studies and visionary design approaches, this session will reveal how landscape architects can shape more resilient, sustainable, and water-conscious cities. Join us for an inspiring discussion on designing with water, rethinking infrastructure, and creating the next generation of climate-adaptive urban environments.
