ScenesLab is a design collective dedicated to placemaking. We examine the responsibilities, explore the possibilities, and push the boundaries of design in the built world through research and experimentation. We commit to a responsible and conscientious attitude toward the environment. Working with creatives and experts across the field, we seek a balance between nature, space, and people. Grounded in a culturally-sensitive approach and interdisciplinary practice, ScenesLab is determined to bring visionary projects to life.

我们认知世界的每一瞬间,如同被曝光的胶片,变成定格的影像印入脑海。千万个影像勾勒出生动的画卷,描绘着人们熙来攘往街巷灯火通明。我们所构造的场所是市井百态的载体,记录着无数个时时刻刻。宏到城市蓝图微到精工细作,都应源于生活,释放生活,归于生活。

Wendy Yifei Wang, PLA, ASLA, is the founder of ScenesLab. She is a landscape architect working between urbanism and details with a worldly mindset rooted in her global upbringing.

 

Passionate about creating spaces that reflect cultural identities, Wendy uses landscape as the primary medium to enhance site characteristics and imagine cities' futures. Wendy works hand in hand with planners, architects, and engineers, taking projects from the planning phase through concept design and construction. Wendy has collaborated with award-winning designers across the field, such as Aziza Chaouni Projects and HECTOR. Her projects have taken her on journeys across different regions of the world, ranging from ecology studies in Morocco to designing inclusive open spaces for immigrant and refugee communities in Philadelphia. The Bridge X project was selected as one of the three finalists for the Reimagining Brooklyn Bridge competition organized by the Van Alen Institute and the New York City Council. It came in second place during the public voting process. Buffalo Up! evaluated the life and death of aging infrastructure in a post-industrial city, asking critical questions about what roles designers and design should play in shaping future mobility and urban dwelling. Meanwhile, she is also working with the Harvard Graduate School of Design (GSD) and Zhejiang University on a cross-disciplinary research project investigating the relationship between landscape, culture, and individual well-being. Before ScenesLab, she worked for leading design firms such as Sasaki Associates and Reed Hilderbrand, executing complex projects that span multiple scales in the United States and China.

Wendy's work has been featured in publications such as Urban Infill and the GSD Platform Series. She has also presented at regional and national conferences, such as the American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA) Convention and the ArchitectureBoston Expo (ABX). Projects that she played significant roles in were recognized by the Cleveland Urban Design Collaborative and various other organizations. While practicing, Wendy also taught courses and studios at the Boston Architectural College and Northeastern University. 

Wendy is a registered landscape architect currently practicing in San Diego, California. She received her Master of Landscape Architecture from the GSD and holds a Bachelor of Science in Landscape Architecture with Distinction from Purdue University. She was awarded the ASLA Indiana Chapter Merit Certificate and University Olmsted Scholar upon graduation.
