ENABLING A THREEFOLD HARMONY

Ecologically, culturally, and spiritually, Li Shui Shanshui City evolves a new vernacular at the scale of nature, landscape, and village.

Indigenizing design to restore, preserve, and activate, the plan rewilds watersheds, connects ecological corridors, and unleashes biodiversity across 180 hectares of river valley, farmland, and mountain.

Enlivening a four-season, 24-hour immersion into shanshui, the project reframes oppositions as opportunities, where the city and countryside relate in symbiosis. Weaving the informal with the formal, we dissolve the orthogonal into the fractal to harmonize humans and nature.
