Landscape and waterfront space of Ecupl

Changning campus of East China University of political science and law is located in the east of Changning District, Shanghai, and in the north of Yuyuan Road Historical and cultural style area. It is 900 meters along the riverside. It is a rare non-industrialized area along the Suzhou River. It has unique characteristics and a portal effect. The transformation and improvement of its riverside line will be of great significance to the construction of the whole area along the Suzhou River.

The design concept is to shape ECUPL, a "century-old campus and the Pearl of the Su River", into the most open public space along the Su River, the most elegant historical style, and the most beautiful campus landscape. The landscape goal is to create a unique landscape form of "courtyard in the garden, garden in the courtyard". By retaining and protecting the spatial pattern, historical buildings, and landscape environment, the overall style of campus is taken as a part of the landscape along the Suzhou River to open the scenery to the public.

The riverside design fully excavates the existing resources, combines the originally independent campus with the riverside footpath, and relies on the unique Chinese and western excellent historical buildings of the campus to "highlight the style of national treasure buildings, optimize the riverside landscape quality; excavate the campus humanistic elements, activate the riverside humanistic space; ensure the safety of campus interface and establish a security management system" With the three design concepts as the core, the riverside footpaths that were originally narrow, narrow, single landscape and lack of public service facilities were comprehensively combed and rearranged, and the original single landscape form of "pedestrian footpath + plant greening" was transformed into a new model of "campus landscape + shared space + riverside promenade".

The design of this project has begun from March to May 2021. The construction has lasted for 5 months, ended in September 2021. Now it has been formed into a rich and long history and culture, with outstanding landscape features and overall opening and sharing to the public.
