“A Home for the City”, HOMELAND MAGAZINE
August 30, 2020
Homeland is a local lifestyle magazine from Fujian that explores the people who shape urban life through unique insights into fashion, dining, housing, design, culture, art, reading, and travel. It features columns with both a global perspective and local reflection.
In this issue, an article titled “A Home for the City” spotlights BAM, a design firm dedicated to addressing urban and social challenges through landscape design, highlighting their experiences and reflections on the Dengyun Reservoir Park project. As the following quote from the magazine shows:
“In this area, people can engage in various activities throughout the park while also connecting with water, forests, fields, plants, and animals in diverse ways. BAM continues to explore how people interact with nature and coexist with it. In landscape design, human-nature interaction is fundamental—not just at the surface level; understanding the design and the stories behind it is equally important. BAM aims to reveal these stories, highlighting the significance of this location to the people of Fujian and Fuzhou, and its connections between Dengyun, water, ancient bridges, and as a gateway to nature. As Jacob puts it, “These are important stories, because this place is not just a development project; it’s a home for the city.””
