In 2023, the demolition of the 'Ying Yuan' rural garden in Suzhou garnered significant attention. The public perceived this garden to be a precious repository of traditional cultural heritage, imbued with a vibrant living legacy. Consequently, protests ensued, prompting governmental authorities to reconsider its value and officially recognise it as having “distinctive cultural characteristics of the era". It was eventually preserved as a public landscape. This project contemplates the future development of Ying Yuan as a public landscape within the urban context. It proposes a design scheme for discussion of how to transform the personal memories represented by a private garden into collective memories of public space. It also delves into the exploration of the relationship between humans the natural environment, reflecting on the inheritance of cultural heritage's spiritual essence.
