Suining South Riverfront Park

The Suining South Riverfront Park Landscape Design Project is located in Suining City, Sichuan Province, China. The site is a part of long stretch of riverside land adjacent to the city’s forthcoming urban growth district. Originally cut off from the adjacent community by a broad riverside city road, the area was almost abandoned by the city’s inhabitants. A much closer water-to-human relationship is introduced by concealing an existing bulkhead structure beneath stylized terraces of landscape inspired by Asian culture, drawing city dwellers and urban visitors towards the forgotten natural beauty of the Fujiang River. The result of the park has reformed the gray concrete embankment into a resilient, ecologically-sound riverfront with numerous riparian habitats, enhanced stormwater management and water cleansing system, recovered native habitats, and created a new cherished public space for gathering and sensory enjoyment.
