SMM prepared the environmental master plan for Spring’s Vitality and was challenged to create a meaningful and responsible transit oriented development plan that addressed the rich tradition and history of Beijing while recognizing the dynamic cultural shift taking place in China. Through studying traditional Chinese design and planning, the SMM team arrived at two basic principles to form the project’s foundation: the formal organization of the site; the historic urban grid and the organic form of the traditional garden.
