Pan'an Wetland

Pan'an Wetland is a wetland park created on a former coal mining subsidence area in Xuzhou, China. The design restores the damaged land instead of replacing it. Soil is rebuilt through methods such as stripping the cultivated layer and layered backfilling to recover fertility. Two rivers are linked to form a circulating water system that feeds the wetland and helps purify urban water. Native trees, shrubs and grasses support biodiversity. A zigzag plank road and a bird watching platform let visitors observe the water and land habitats.

Acesite Park Landscape

Logan Group Landscape Landscape Design Tuesday, 13 October 2026

Acesite Park

Acesite Park is a landscape design for a residential and municipal park area in Shenzhen. The park applies a sponge city approach, with sunken green belts, rain gardens and grassed swales that slow and collect rainwater. Paving uses silica sand and ceramic permeable bricks, which allow water to pass through and reduce noise. Vegetation and a filter layer purify the collected rainwater for waterfalls, mist systems, irrigation and road washing. The sponge facilities store 2547.84 cubic meters of water. The terraced field layout creates slopes and depressions that guide slow drainage.
