OKASHIMO：Colin OKASHIMO是一位雕塑家，同时也是一位广受赞誉的景观设计师。他将雕塑和景观并置在一起，创造出了迷人的场所以及和谐的环境，它们要么是改变了平淡无奇的城市环境，要么是增强了场所的美感。每一个结果，每一个解决方案，都来自于特殊的研究过程，这唤起了特定场所的叙事性。

OKASHIMO:  Colin OKASHIMO is a sculptor who is also an acclaimed landscape architect. His juxtaposition of sculpture and landscape has produced beguiling places and harmonious environments, which have either transformed an unremarkable urban context or enhanced the existing beauty of their location. Every outcome, every solution, is derived from an especial process of research, which leads inexorably to the implementation of an evocative site-specific narrative.
