Using a cut-and-fill strategy, the architect transformed a once-lifeless concrete river embankment and abandoned farmland into a flood-resilient wetland, creating a porous landscape of ponds and small islands that serves as the foundation for diverse riparian habitats and functions as a green sponge that regulates water between the monsoon season and dry season. Meanwhile a network of pedestrian paths, pavilions and other structures frames and transforms messy nature into an ordered web of lush vegetation with great diversity allowing visitors to have an immersive experience.
