Quzhou Sports Campus provides an experience of a surreal atmosphere

PWP Landscape Architecture and MAD Architects designed the Quzhou Sports Campus in the historic city of Quzhou, China.

The landscape encourages people to walk slowly around the park, run along the trails, or simply sit on the lawn and enjoy the scenery.

The “Quzhou Sports Campus” rejects the traditional urban construction model of large square landmarks. It forms a unique urban space, one that is embedded in the spiritual understanding of the city’s people, nature, and culture, by drawing on land art and the natural landscape. Ma Yansong stated: “The relationship between man and nature is not only about ecology and sustainability, but it is also about spirit and mood. This is the culture and philosophy that has long existed in the history of this land and needs to be applied in the development of our future cities.”
