In response to a fast urbanization that lacks character in its spaces and human consideration, Shenzhen Guanlan Riverside Plaza has been renovated to meet the varied needs of the city and its residents today. 

Based on the idea of a "park-like plaza," the design has revitalized the plaza's vitality by reshaping an open space with a variety of activities, tree-lined walkways, and cultural heritage.  

Reform received great praise for their redesign of the eastern entrance of Shenzhen People's Park in China. 

The global architecture community gathers at WAF to celebrate, educate, network, and get inspired. The largest live-judged architecture awards program in the world is held annually by WAF. Through presentations by architects to eminent delegates and global judging panels, it honors design accomplishments.
