Renovated from abandoned quarry yard, Quarry Garden has become one new landmark and name card of Shanghai. Its capabilities are fully displayed based on ecological restoration and culture reconstruction strategies.

And the challenge of constructing dramatic aesthetical space on highly-difficult construction techniques also becomes one highlight of this project.
