Rice Garden is a temporary agricultural garden landscape that is constructed on the same rice field every year. The designs were created by teachers and students from colleges and universities, and by landscape architects. The designers do subtraction design on the harvest land every year and invite local children, young people and older people to participate in its construction. The project is a continuity of a traditional agricultural landscape with an agriculture-friendly model of sustainability. It has promoted the integration and communication between cities and the village. The garden is also has an online presence charting its progress and development with videos and interactive social media content. The garden changes every year, making it an ongoing experience, which, if monitored each season, could help to better understand the interaction of people with different open spaces. This project introduced innovative temporary designs to a small rice garden, while still retaining the land’s productive capacity.
