VIA Landscape, a design firm founded by Dr. Yijia Sun in Shanghai, China, redefined the scope of the firm's work in 2018, focusing on parks and city-related gardening design, urban and community regeneration design, and the full realization of research-based design in practice.

In 2019, based on the design origin of the four elements of Chinese gardens: water, stone, flowers, trees and architecture, VIA puts forward the design philosophy of “one is more”, which advocates that contemporary Chinese landscapes should shift from learning from the West to realizing a new design methodology of “starting from one, comprehensive gardening and total design”, integrating many design contents such as landscape design, landscape architecture, art installation, space creativity, visual design and product design.
