Wutopia Lab Boldly Reimagines Classical Chinese Gardens Through Contemporary Design

Shanghai-based architectural practice Wutopia Lab often pays homage to traditional designs in innovative ways using contemporary materials and forms. In the case of the Emerald Screen Pergola in Bogong Island Ecology Park in Wuxi, a city near Shanghai in eastern China, the team drew inspiration from classical Chinese gardens designing a roofless pavilion and canopied walkway that creatively reimagine their architectural heritage.
