Industry City is an aggregation of over 400 companies focused on craft and innovation. Terrain’s courtyard, one of 4, is dramatically set in the former Bush Terminal Industrial Campus- the nation’s first vertical factory. The courtyards, formerly railroad loading docks which delivered goods to the stacked warehouses and factories, are now a public gesture towards the community and the tenants of over 6 million square feet of workspace.

The Harbin Cultural Center Wetland Park

Turenscape / , ,

Former deteriorated wetland habitat has been successfully transformed into a working marsh that remediates urban storm-water runoff and waste tailwater from the water supply plant. Since the wetland is largely under the control of natural, rather than human, processes, it is likely to become overgrown with seasonal wetland vegetation and ground cover, forming a wild and messy naturalized landscape.

A site surrounded by intensive development and bounded by the creek at the west and an urban through traffic road at the east. It is a remnant landscape patch made of rolling hills covered with a mosaic of red sandstone exposure, vegetated patches of bushes and grass, and small patches of farm land, and a riparian flood plain down to the river basin, and a linear tree grove along the river edge.

Research into landscape ecology, techniques, and materials combined with the utilization of modular concrete as pavers, benches and bike racks drives the design of the Vanke Research Center project. Permeable material is used on sidewalks and access routes. Different materials and plants are designed for storm water collection and retention, based on the latest techniques and taking into consideration the domestic climate in different parts of China.
