SWA provided landscape design for Symantec’s new research and development complex in Chengdu, China. The site was previously inactive and banal, with SWA’s design reinvigorating the area, linking the building program and connecting the site to the larger city. The landscape design creates a “brocade”, weaving together the building and site program, and creating an oasis amidst the dense, urban location. The design takes into account the city of Chengdu by paying attention to key infrastructural elements. In order to mitigate storm water runoff from the site, the design incorporates an extensive water filtration garden, which provides a natural solution to this common infrastructural problem. An intricately programmed roof garden adds to the connection of building and site to SWA’s design, creating functional and environmentally sensitive urban outdoor spaces.
