Shuyuan Zhang

I am graduating with a Master of Landscape Architecture from the University of Pennsylvania, having previously completed a Bachelor’s degree in Landscape Architecture at RMIT University. My research interests include ecological restoration, post-industrial urban regeneration, and the representation of cultural landscapes. While participating in the full landscape design curriculum, I also conducted an independent study titled "Policy or Place? Unpacking Domestic Migration and Immigration Impact on Urban Population Growth in the Rust Belt: A Case Study of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania," which I presented at the 2025 AAG international conference. Moving forward, I aim to integrate landscape practice with urban migration research, exploring how design can engage with broader processes of socio-spatial transformation.
