The Red Ribbon made its mark in China’s with its award-winning Tanghe River Park. The park sits on the outskirts of the evolving city of Qinguangdao, in a river corridor. Before Turenscape got a hold of this land, it was littered with trash and deserted irrigation structures. Turenscape was able to preserve the environmental treasures while integrating ecological principles. They created a ribbon of red steel that runs throughout the park, parallel to the river. The red ribbon is both functional and fashionable providing seating, and plenty of lighting and plan displays. The red is bright and inviting while symbolizing China’s joy and prosperity towards preserving the environment. The Tanghe River Park won the 2007 ASLA Design Honor Award and received first place in the national competition.
