We have lost an irreplaceable figure in landscape architecture, who left us a wealth of lessons on how to better relate to the natural environment. Kongjian Yu's legacy is not just a memory, but a source of inspiration for a hopeful future, serving as a guiding light that demonstrates how humanity and nature can coexist and flourish.

Kongjian Yu dedicated his life to making every moment count. He focused on enhancing human life and understanding natural laws to propose solutions for one of our most pressing issues: the disintegration of life on Earth.

His noble character was shaped by an urgent vision, unparalleled by most in the field of landscape architecture and architecture, along with a quarter of a century of consistent work in this direction. His impact on our understanding of the environment and our place within it is immeasurable.

My heartfelt condolences go out to his wife, children, extended family, friends, colleagues, and associates. Please accept my deepest sympathies.

我们失去了一位在景观建筑领域中无法替代的人物，他留给我们的，是如何更好地与自然相处的宝贵启示。俞孔坚教授的遗产不仅仅是一段记忆，更是一种激励——为充满希望的未来提供方向，指引人类与自然的共生与繁荣。

俞孔坚教授毕生珍惜每一刻的价值，专注于改善人类生活、理解自然规律，并致力于为当今最紧迫的问题之一——地球生命体系的瓦解——提出解决之道。

他高尚的品格源于一种急切而坚定的愿景，过去二十五年间，他始终如一地在这一方向上耕耘。他对人类理解环境及自身定位的影响是无法估量的。

我向他的夫人、子女、亲属、朋友、同事与合作伙伴致以最深切的哀悼与慰问。

请接受我最真诚的同情。
