Kongjian Yu und sein Büro Turenscape sind zweifelsohne das heute wichtigste Büro für Landschaftsarchitektur in China. Die Größe Chinas und das schier grenzenlose ökonomische Wachstum haben Yu gleichsam laborartige Arbeitsbedingungen beschert: Konzepte, die von westlichen Landschaftsarchitekten nur theoretisch erörtert werden, wurden hier dem Praxistest unterworfen. Kongjian Yus Arbeiten – auch in Europa und Nordamerika zunehmend bekannt und geschätzt – sind von großer Eleganz und qualitativ herausragend in Konzept und Ausführung. Yu ist für seine vom Gedanken der Nachhaltigkeit bestimmte Haltung bekannt, die ihn häufig in Konflikt mit den örtlichen Behörden bringt. Seine Entwurfshaltung wird geprägt von der Wertschätzung des Gewöhnlichen und von Alltagsdingen und einer tiefen Akzeptanz der Natur, auch in ihren bedrohlichen Aspekten, wie Überschwemmungen. Zu seinen bekanntesten Projekten gehören Houtan Park für die Shanghai Expo 2010, der Red Ribbon Park in Qinhuangdao und der Shipyard Park auf einer Industriebrache in Zhongshan. Dieses Buch geht den zentralen Themen in Yus Werk in 11 Essays bekannter Autoren nach und dokumentiert 22 ausgewählte Projekte.
