A Landscape Of Curvaceous Shapes Was Designed For This Park

June 9, 2021

ASPECT Studios has designed the landscaping for The Urban Gallery at Hyperlane in Chengdu, China, which transformed a derelict space used for parking into a community park.

The park consists of three key spaces, an urban promenade, a water carpet, and a performance gallery.

Terraced seating with curved edges provides a place to relax underneath the trees, while the nearby water features that surround pathways create a calming environment.
