Atelier-i was the only Chinese team to participate in the 30th Chaumont International Garden Art Festival
Since 1992, Château Chaumont has hosted the International Garden Art Festival every year, and now it is in its 30th year. On the occasion of the 30th anniversary, the Atelier-i team stood out from artists, architects and landscape architects from all over the world, and their work "Garden of Illusions" became the only Chinese work among the 24 gardens selected for the exhibition. In May 2022, this modern garden with unique Chinese characteristics was presented to visitors from all over the world on the banks of the Loire River in France.

The theme of the 30th anniversary exhibition of the 2022 Chaumont International Garden Festival is "Un jardin Idéal" (The Ideal Garden), and 24 works from all over the world have been selected and will be open to the world from April 21 to November 6. On May 6th, the festival celebrated its 30th anniversary on the banks of the Loire, with a global media outcry.
Atelier-i's Dans un jardin d'illusion (The Garden of Illusions) was selected from thousands of works from around the world and became one of the 24 selected works and the only Chinese works selected for this year. On the one hand, the work contains traditional Chinese cultural philosophy in the design, and on the other hand, it innovatively uses the international cutting-edge "Resilience" theory and pays attention to the maximization of ecological, social and economic value, so as to skillfully integrate the oriental philosophical narrative and universal ecological metaphor, which is extremely recognized by the organizers. China News Service, China Europe Times, The Paper, Shanghai Daily and other Chinese and foreign media gave special reports on Yi Architecture's works, and conducted an exclusive interview with Mr. Liu Xiangcheng, the founder of Yi Architecture.
