runoff, efficiently harvesting rainwater and changing people’s attitudes about
sustainability on the campus of Yanching Institute of Technology, Hebei Province,
China. Also the design focuses on artful water design for communicating values of
water management to increase public acceptance of water issues. The final solution
proposes a new master plan to incorporate artful sustainable rainwater management
principles. The design proposes campus redevelopment based on existing conditions
and local area.
The final design applies artistic installations using sculpture, materials, and
spatial definition to mitigate stormwater issues on campus and increase public
awareness of sustainability.
