Comment on Xi’an Expo 2011: University Trials by Jeremi

Hi Ringo,
Admittedly, I purposely delayed in getting back to you because I wanted to get back to the bookstore I mentioned and look up that book again.. But I could not find it when I returned. The nature of bookstores in Shanghai I suppose. But I did manage to find it again online. Note that this book I’m referring to is different from the special issue booklet put out by International New Landscape magazine. For one, it’s a hefty casebound volume larger than A4 size and from what I remember it covers every single little thing from a landscape and planning perspective for the Expo. The book title is “International Horticultural Exposition 2011 Xian China PLANNING”, and it’s listed on Amazon for US $400 but if you could manage through a proxy to buy it in China you might save a bundle. The ISBN is 9787112130849. The following mainland China website lists the price at about US$46.

Good Luck, and Happy Chinese New Year

Hi Aidan,
Thanks for your clarification. I updated the post to reflect the corrections and expanded my design criticism of your project only because it looked so promising but really did not seem to have been built to your specific intentions. Did any of you or the other designers get to visit your own project? I’m curious about what you think worked and what did not, based on what is not seen in the images I posted?

Hey, Jermei-

Just wanted to point out that the image you have with the Caption “Yet I think it’s a failure of a swamp. Naturally, you would not find annuals planted in such a manner” is mislabeled. The project is actually the Columbia University designed “Eco-Plane”. So the drawings and text with which you are evaluating the project are describing a different project. I was one of the designers for Eco-Plane. Thanks.

Hi Deniz,
Wow! So nice of you to ask for permission! Yes, it’s fine. All of the pictures here on this site are photographs taken by myself unless otherwise noted in the captions below them. Also, please note that the project descriptions I took the time to transcribe were taken verbatim from the signage from the Expo. May I know the name of your publication?
Cheers,
Jeremi

i love the “restive stillness” , it needs a peaceful mind to find stillness in unstill things. Watching so many piles of stuff ,listening to the symphony from the frogs, combined with the crikets’ songs outside the window right now, it just reminds me of the good old times in the countryside as a child. The ducks ,the gravel ,the sticks …

Hi Prof. Kullmann,

Thanks for your comment. I believe the INL edition is 03 / 04 2011 NO.2 Special Edition. It appears that you can contact Lin Jiayi (???) from their Marketing Department, TEL :86-21-65751314 or
E-mail: info@internationalnewlandscape.com. I suppose Berkeley’s Library can help you out as well since I don’t know how it is for international ordering.

Best,
Jeremi
