New “three realms”
– 2021 College Students Theme Flower Border Design Competition, Chengdu, Sichuan, Honor Award (20/603, top 3%)
– Sponsored by the Education Committee of Chinese Society of Landscape Architecture
The three urban development stages of wild, urban, and vibrant are reflected through various plant configuration and landscape installations. The ecological design concept creates a habitat for co-prosperity and symbiosis between the city and the ecological environment by moving from the primitive and undisturbed wild state to the desolate state of rapid urbanization.

Escape garden
– 2022 Rural Revitalization Design Competition, Lishui, Zhejiang, Bronze Award (5/265, top 2%)
– Sponsored by the National Master of Landscape Architecture Education Steering Committee
People today live in a rapidly changing society where they are subjected to a variety of pressures. People want to get away, to find spiritual redemption. The answer given by design is a garden – a space that conforms to people’s aesthetic tastes, a space that can awaken the mind and delight emotions. No matter when you visit, the flowers here open quietly, transporting you to another world, allowing you to enjoy nature and life.
X space
– 2021 Chinese Landscape Architecture Education Conference
Landscape life exists in multiple dimensions, with time and space intertwined. The delicate design allows the landscape to grow, update, and adapt to the site’s impact. X stands for “unknown,” “infinite,” and “custom,” and it represents the realm of possibility. The design aspires to create a new multi-dimensional space that is shared by all, a symbiosis of human environment and time, where people can feel emotionally at home.
