KONGJIAN YU

Founding Dean and professor, College of Architecture and Landscape Architecture, Peking University

Founder and Principal Designer, Turenscape


A recipient of Doctor of Design at Harvard (1995), Yu is Professor and founding dean of Peking University College of Architecture and Landscape, founder and design principle of Turenscape that practices globally. He is a Fellow of American Society of Landscape Architects.  Several of Yu’s core ideas, including the concept of “negative” or inverse planning—which first identifies what should be protected rather than what should be developed—have gained wide currency. His thinking about “ecological security patterns” helped shape environmental protection efforts throughout China. And his promotion of the “sponge city” concept, which uses natural techniques to capture, filter and store rainfall for future use and reduce flood risks, helped to spur the Chinese government to launch an ambitious sponge city campaign across the country and has gain global attention. To test and demonstrate his ambitious concept, Yu and his team have designed and built over 100 projects in over 250 cities in China and abroad. Yu’s guiding design principles are the appreciation of the ordinary and a deep embrace of nature—even of its potentially destructive aspects, such as flooding. His projects have won numerous international design awards including 14 ASLA Excellence and Honor Awards,8 WAF Best Landscape Architecture of the Year Award, 5 AZ Awards.


Yu is the author of over 20 books and more than 300 papers and is the founder and chief editor of the internationally awarded magazine Landscape Architecture Frontiers. He has been an invited lecturer, speaker and guest professor around the world, including teaching for over five years at the Harvard Graduate School of Design, and has been a keynote speaker at more than 60 conferences worldwide; Yu has also been a tireless advocate for change at the policy level. His numerous letters to top Chinese leaders and over 600 lectures to mayors, ministers and all ranks of Chinese officials have helped shift the focus of Chinese national-level policies from economic development-centered urbanism toward ecologically prudent urbanism.


His work and thinking have been featured on numerous television programs on China Central Television, and he has been a leading member of several national expert committees, including vice president of the Society of Urban Studies, chairman of the Beautiful China and Landscape Architecture Committee, deputy director of the National Sponge City Expert Committee and deputy director of the National Human Settlement Committee at the Chinese Ministry of Housing and Urban and Rural Development. He has written and edited several textbooks authorized by the Chinese central government and ministries to train Chinese officials.


2016, Yu was elected International Honorary Member of the American Academy of Arts and Science in 2016, for his being considered as “Yu truly stands alone as a landscape architect in Asia when one regards the impact of his publications and built works. In addition to his educational efforts, he has garnered the field's top-level awards and recognition worldwide. His projects in over 200 cities have been lauded as much for their beauty as for their commitment to social justice and environmental stewardship.”


2017Yu received the Honoris Causa Doctorate in Landscape and Environment from Sapienza University, “an acknowledgement for the enormous contributions he has made to the field through his reframing of Landscape as an ecological, interconnected, productive and creative infrastructure……Professor Yu offers a new concept of landscape based in incorporating the rural, the messy, the functional aspects of land into the urban realm. He affirms that in our resource-depleted and ecologically damaged and threatened era, the built environment must and will adapt a new aesthetic grounded in the appreciation of the beauty of productive, ecologically-supporting, survival-enhancing things."


2019Yu received The honorary doctorate degree of Norwegian University of Life Sciences based on “[his] groundbreaking research on sustainable landscape architecture, and long-term and essential contributing to a harmonious landscape development.”


2020, Yu received the IFLA’s highest honor, the Sir Geoffrey Jellicoe Award in 2020, which celebrates a living landscape architect whose “achievements and contributions have had a unique and lasting impact on the welfare of society.”


2021, Yu received the John Cobb Common Good Award, one of the highest honors in the field of Ecological Philosophy offered throughout the world, recognizing Yu's works as “ indeed an art of survival. In the spirit of constructive postmodernism, Yu combines traditional knowledge with a forward-looking attitude, helping to design a more promising future for humanity and the Earth.”


2023, Yu was selected from more than 300 nominations worldwide to win the biennial Cornelia Hahn Oberlander International Landscape Architecture Prize that is bestowed on a recipient who is “exceptionally talented, creative, courageous, and visionary.” The Oberlander Prize Jury Citation noted of Yu, he is a “brilliant and prolific designer … [who] is also a force for progressive change in landscape architecture around the world.”  And in the same year, Yu received the Cooper Hewitt National Design Award.
