The Founder, Chairman, Chief Designer of Guangzhou S.P.I Design Co., Ltd graduated from Nanjing Forestry University, he has more than 20 years of experience in landscape architecture design. He has presided over nearly 100 international and domestic landscape planning and landscape design projects and has won many international and domestic awards. He believed that the landscape could settle people’s hearts by creating a comforting zone. Then, he created the New Shanshui Design Concept, which is the natural spirit and cultural value rooted in landscapes. It takes the emotional exchange between humans and nature as a medium and reshapes the aesthetics of contemporary urban life artistically through the current material civilization such as new technology, new craftsmanship and new materials to build a living community in a balanced way and leave a poetic space for life evolution. Meanwhile, the “New” refers to time, starting from the reality and civilization at this time. The “Shanshui” refers to space, microscopic site spirit, and an extended regionalist attitude. In this way, the landscape constructs a poetic life suitable for the present and the region for human beings. The “New Shanshui” is to explore the history and the present, mapping out a route for humans to return to nature. On the microscopic scale, it is a poetic habitation of living space with ecological nature, allowing landscapes to be introduced into urban patch space. On the mesoscale, it is to solve the problems of homogenization and urban diseases in the process of urbanization, so that the city can be integrated into the landscape. On the macro-scale, the New Shanshui Design Concept is trying to solve the ecological security of the land and the problem of the construction method of ecological civilization to make the landscape become the infrastructure of the country. He has devoted to China’s rural and urban development and ecological civilization construction with the mission of “Poetic Dwelling Inherit Innovation”, based on the New Shanshui Design Concept, driven by innovative design, with digital technology as the core and Shanshui General Theater as the carrier, to build a world-renowned landscape technology innovation platform.

When the designers first arrived at the site, they were enchanted by the goldenrain tree and camphor preserved there. They planned to reconstruct the site on the basis of preserving the original ecology. The overall design, such as space layout and flow line, kept away from the original trees; highlighted their values and gave them new lives. They strived to intervene in the site in a "humble" way and adapt to local conditions. They used trees to create a forest theater under the urban reinforced concrete.
