Chinese Scholar Gardens | Olivia Lau | Jay Zhang Photography
Olivia Lau, Architect, Dancer, Foodie, Wonder Woman. There isn't anything this woman can't do, and with this little adventure within the Chinese Scholar Gardens, I couldn't help but feel inspired at every turn at this location. Landscape Architectural Design of Chinese Gardens are supposed to bring surprises and new vantages as you move through the space, so that at any given location you witness a different scene. No two scenes are the same and no two perspectives are the same. With every space, we had to add some Drama of the human scale of course.
