The second phase allows vegetation to establish, actively gathering moisture and purifying runoftin separated channels. The third phase is landscaped infrastructure and potential embedded exclusive residences.

Group work (As lead author)

This project focuses on a longer temporal dimension, integrating the geomorphological features of preindustrial era. This allows visitors to experience the collision and fusion of Guangzhou’s primordial natural landscape with the industrial memory of the former steelworks. Within the park, a series of cultural and exhibition activities have been planned, with revenue generated from these initiatives feeding back into park maintenance, achieving a self-sustaining model. For areas closer to the community, linear community farming plots are introduced to reflect the site’s original attributes while embodying the productive principles of a resilient city.

The ecological aspect shapes the habitat of birds and butterflies, creating a central ecological green axis. In terms of production, the traditional Lingnan planting terrain is introduced to provide certain food for local residents through the self-producing landscape of community farmland. Life design a variety of activities, such as industrial heritage exhibitions, cultural festivals and other parent-child activities to stimulate community links.
