Great places don't appear out of thin air, they are born out of well-thought-out visions and intelligent design.
As you wander through a city, vibrant urban spaces become your memories. That's what urban planning is all about—making connections between people and places.
Urban planning is the process of shaping the physical form of the city, which shapes the city and the suburbs. Each planning process is a combination of integration, adjustment and fundamental rethinking of different aspects of the direction of the city's development.

Chengdu Xinglong Lake Tianfu Cloud City
TIANFU CLOUD CITY AT XINGLONG LAKE, CHENGDU
The Xinglong Lake Tianfu Cloud City Project demonstrates how to deal with the large planning of green spaces in common emerging urban centers, and thus achieve the improvement of Chengdu's environment and lifestyle leadership. The solution is the core part of the project - "River Valley": a narrow, natural, canyon-like space, which will be glued to the plots on both sides of the planned green space, and transform the green space into a multi-level public activity space for citizens and an urban park. By providing different types of office space, it responds to the diverse market demands from start-ups and co-working to large corporate headquarters.

The main idea of the design is to create a mixed use environment that combines the characteristics of European and Chinese urban planning, with diverse styles and full of fun. As a public living and activity space, the town center considers the various formats needed by the town residents, and at the same time connects the existing landscape resources to functionally meet the needs of different groups of people to create a sustainable and mixed-use center. In the construction of the town, people are the core part and the source of all energy. Community participation can mobilize everyone's energy, brainstorm ideas for the construction of the town, and at the same time can correct the development direction in a timely manner.

The core volume of the stone represents the dignity of the law, and the outer wall continues from the judges' district to the public area, representing the fairness and equality of the law. The two figures sit peacefully above the podium.
Starting from the overall sense of architecture, it gives the rule of law a unified sense of order. From the perspective of climate and landscape effect, the north facing the seafront avenue strives to be transparent and maintain a relatively sparse grid; the south direction is designed as a denser grid due to the need for shading.
