It can give an area such a new lease of life and it dosn't have to be over the top and crazy, but is striking, usable, and orginal in design. The red is such a good base colour that enhances the planting in an area that formal colourful planting would look so wrong and out of place. This is a great example of Landscape arch.

We do not need more concrete in this world. It seems as though most sites in the U.S. get "value engineered" down to a point where everything on site is built of items to prevent skateboarding and offer longer durability at the cost of great design. When in fact, if the site is designed in certain ways, skateboarding can be all of excempt from the equation, and with simple maintenance you can achieve the durability of other materials. Kudos to the client for taking a chance and making a wonderful addition to the landscape in China! I highly agree with ‘guest’. We do not need more concrete in this world.

The side is also video protected, there are some secutity man sitting in an little office and keep a eye what is happening... there so many thing made of concrete, we dont need a world made of concrete... unfortunately, its not any more real red looking, like on the photos.. the sun changed it into more orange ;-) the material is fibre glass(same used for making boats), nothing to do with steel.

Wouldn't a concrete structure be more suitable and durable? Just a thought! Thanks! Louis How do the issue of vandalism dealt with here?
