The case is a investigation of the garde status of Suzhou in China.it's also the project

in our workshop.the gardens are a brilliant part of Chinese cultural heritage. I'd like to let more and more people konw the gardens of Suzhou in China.The gardens'characteristics are as follows:

Firstly,they set fine examples of how garden spaces are ingeniously handled.

Secondly, they are the re-creation of the splendors of natural scenery through the processes of the decoration of land by planting trees, shrubs and flowers, and designing and materializing mountains and watercourses.

Thirdly, they are an epitome of exquisite and multifarious buildings of old times in the south of the Lower Yangtze .
