Synopsis: The Culture Being Ignored and The Beauty of Weeds: The Zhongshan Qijiang Park summarises the design practice of Yu Kongjian's team at Qijiang Park in Zhongshan, Guangdong. Through five chapters, the book systematically expounds a design philosophy that respects everyday culture and treats natural ecosystems with care. Confronted with complex ecological and industrial heritage challenges at the site, the team innovatively proposed strategies including terraced planting, ecological flood control, and the reuse of industrial elements. These successfully transformed the former shipyard into a park that integrates ecological functionality with cultural memory. The book emphasises the concepts of ‘grassroots culture’ and ‘the beauty of wild plants,’ achieving harmonious coexistence between history and nature through the preservation of industrial relics and native flora. Design details such as the boardwalk, banyan tree island, and Red Box art installation demonstrate the fusion of industrial aesthetics and ecological design. The project has garnered multiple international awards, becoming a benchmark in contemporary landscape architecture that embodies the tripartite design philosophy of ecological restoration, industrial memory, and human-centred care. The publication advocates prioritising indigenous culture and natural ecology in landscape design while rejecting formalism, offering invaluable theoretical and practical guidance for rebuilding the harmonious relationship between humanity and the land.
