Zhu Yufan Y³C Atelier is a Beijing-based design firm since 2002, and we are specialized in landscape planning and design across a wide range of scale. Our projects include Urban Green Space System Planning, Urban Parks/Squares Design, Public Building Environment Design, Historic Preservations and Residential Design, etc.
Y³C is named after the Chinese idiom “yiyuzhongdi”, stating as “hit the key-point in one word”, mainly emphasizing on “one sharp design move”. We aim to find out the design essence of balancing the site and its demands under the unique perspective of history and culture. With the continuous focuses on the spirits of site (genius loci), Yiyu Studio uplifts the extension of both site context and cultural context onto elevated site-ethics level, making the project design works present more (but not only) site-specific features. Moreover, we take into account considerable diversity and openness in the design details via interpreting, rewriting and representing the historical and cultural factors of the site (from the ancient to the present, from the east to the west).
