Aesthetics are important, but a design should be more than just decorative; a story needs to be expressed, no matter what scale or style you choose to tell that story. A designer should be able to explore all styles\u2014classic or contemporary\u2014using whichever one seems best fitted to telling the story at hand.

Her additional architectural training equips her with a unique programmatic approach to landscape design, allowing her to blend her refined eye for beauty and scale with a scientific approach to effective site problem solving. She pairs keen intuition with rigorous organization to develop successful strategies for each step of a project. Ye is increasingly shifting her focus to the regional scale, which allows her to grapple with the complex intersection between urgent social issues and beautiful design. Within that larger context, she continues to explore the dialogue between inside and outside, equally valuing infrastructural planning and the perfect detail on a bench.<\/p>\n<\/div>[vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1550043365129{margin-bottom: 15px !important;}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h1 style=\"font-size: 20px; text-align: left; margin-top: 0px;\"><strong>INSPIRED BY<\/strong><\/h1>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text]<div class=\"vc-acf-field-picker-field vc-acf-field-picker-field-type-wysiwyg \"><p>Photographs that aren\u2019t necessarily landscape- or project-related: they can freeze the moment in a way that inspires the creation of a space that brings people back to that moment of time.<\/p>\n<\/div>[vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1549973613519{margin-bottom: 15px !important;}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h1 style=\"font-size: 20px; text-align: left; margin-top: 0px;\"><strong>EDUCATION<\/strong><\/h1>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text]<div class=\"vc-acf-field-picker-field vc-acf-field-picker-field-type-wysiwyg \"><p>Master of Landscape Architecture, University of Pennsylvania (2002)<\/p>\n<p>Bachelor of Architecture, South China Technology University (2000)<\/p>\n<\/div>[vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1549973668697{margin-bottom: 15px !important;}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h1 style=\"font-size: 20px; text-align: left; margin-top: 0px;\"><strong>AFFILIATIONS &amp; REGISTRATIONS<\/strong><\/h1>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text]<div class=\"vc-acf-field-picker-field vc-acf-field-picker-field-type-wysiwyg \"><p>Registered Landscape Architect: California #5227<\/p>\n<p>LEED AP<\/p>\n<\/div>[vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1549973711466{margin-bottom: 15px !important;}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h1 style=\"font-size: 20px; text-align: left; margin-top: 0px;\"><strong>SELECTED AWARDS<\/strong><\/h1>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text]<div class=\"vc-acf-field-picker-field vc-acf-field-picker-field-type-wysiwyg \"><p>ASLA Honor Award: Poly International Plaza (2009)<\/p>\n<p>Architectural Record \/ Business Week, Good Design is Good Business Award of Excellence: Poly International Plaza (2008)<\/p>\n<p>ULI Asia Pacific Award of Excellence: Beijing Finance Street (2008)<\/p>\n<p>ULI Global Award for Excellence: Beijing Finance Street (2008)<\/p>\n<p>Asia Pacific Real Estate, Architectural Design of the Year: Poly International Plaza (2006)<\/p>\n<\/div>[vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1550043430470{margin-bottom: 15px !important;}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h1 style=\"font-size: 20px; text-align: left; margin-top: 0px;\"><strong>DREAM PROJECT<\/strong><\/h1>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text]<div class=\"vc-acf-field-picker-field vc-acf-field-picker-field-type-wysiwyg \"><p>&#8220;I used to dream about doing whatever I wanted, without constraints, but now I believe you can only have freedom when you have certain constraints. That said, I\u2019d love to do a regional-scale waterfront project, perhaps in Spain. I like how the Spanish are adventurous and open to different things. You need to be an original designer to do something people there haven\u2019t tried before, a little bit funkier, and you have to be willing to take risks. You can be clean and contemporary, for instance like the Germans, but I\u2019d like to be more like the Spanish, who try something new; they might fail, but they\u2019ll try again. That\u2019s more interesting to me. It\u2019s a little scary. That\u2019s what I like about being at SWA, because you can try different things, and you can always pretend you\u2019re still young.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"featured_media":23869,"template":"","tags":[222],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v21.3 (Yoast SEO v21.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Ye Luo - SWA Group<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.swagroup.com\/principals\/ye-luo\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Ye Luo\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"[vc_row gap=&#8221;30&#8243;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;
