What is The Chinese garden about?

An important garden type as inspirationfor contemporary landscape design With their centuries-long development, the English landscape garden, the formal French garden, as well Japanese and Chinese gardens constitute an unparalleled repository of design solutions familiar throughout the world. They are frequently drawn upon as reference works, but often in a piecemeal and haphazard fashion and from botanical or art-historical vantage points.

Pei), Ai Weiwei’s Yiwu Riverbank Pa
