Living environment in big city deteriorates rapidly nowadays . Gradually, urban life is seperated from nature. People long for reconncection with nature. Landscape design can have influence both on and off the site. It can produce direct and indirect benefits, especially with regard to the environment and ecology. The design tries to achieve a wider benefit through a park design that could not only improve the on-site environment but also have a positive influence on the surrounding community. Considering the location advantage (adjacent to a green corridor) and the scale, the New Jiangwan Town Park has the potential to be an eco-core of the area.

HYDROLOGY CONVERGENCE The park collects and purify the run-off from nearby site, converges them into the central lake, which was expanded from former watercourse. Increased water body provides ideal places for the thrive of species.

MAD MAGENIFICENT METROPOLIS
I have been fascinated by the complexity of cities for some time. The park was located within a residential area with surroundings that represented the typical mixture of Shanghai landscape. Shanghai owns a unique nickname, “Modu,” which means “magic city.” Skyscrapers, glamorous commercial buildings, exotic concession districts, and crowded old-fashioned neighborhoods coexist within several blocks. I tried to mediate the potential conflicts that arise from diverse building volumes and functions by delineating the border.
