Kongjian Yu's range of exceptional projects has demonstrated the intellectual influence he has been able to exert as a landscape architect in China, even in the midst of its hypergrowth. As a professor, he started from scratch yet established landscape architecture as a recognized discipline at Peking University. His practice, Turenscape, embodies his design philosophy of a harmonious living world that embraces nature, people and spirits. The firm is itself a school that links theory with execution and provides financial support for research and education at the university.
