Design Concept
“Art of the Earth in Overlapped Light and Shadow”
Project Narrative
Located in Yangjiang City the southwest coast of Guangdong Province, this newly Public Center for the new neighborhood is surrounded by a large area of farmland, however, very conveniently accessible due to many newly built highway and fast roads. Unlike the “face-bashing” of mature products already everywhere in the nearby cities, the client requires this new project to find new possibilities and stand out in three aspects: 1) to establish the aesthetic high bar of the similar projects in this new area; 2) to maximize the commercial value with attracting supported with flexible ; 3) to build in the ecology friendly way with sustainability consideration.
Together, it needs to restore the vitality and value of the community, featured with functionality, beauty, and inclusiveness.
The whole site design is conducted with the morphology of “light and shadow”. Varies geometry modern and pure forms of structure define a series of the “future” feeling the landform design, structure, and the waterscape yard. Spaces are shaped with triangular patterns with white perforated plates; metals are all created with varies functions fulfilled.
The overall scheme is based on the undulating triangular artistic grass slopes decorated with Chinese Hackberry shows the pure and simplicity taste of the whole project. Small purple leaves and romantic flowers are all decorated carefully under the trees.
After passing the bridge, visitors would be attracted by the sound of running water, a delicate welcome structure appearing on the leaping grassy landform. Curved with the name of the project, the irregular triangular waterscape guides people with the far ways open plaza.
Layers of stairs are leading towards the central building. An integrated picture with mirror surface water reflecting the building further impose the impression of “light and shadow” by the unified triangular artistic grass slope with rocky stones, tree shadows echoing in the water.
The ground paving also adopts triangular modules which also continue from the front plaza into the backyard. The light moves with the shadow and changes in strange interests, from large and small triangular stepping stones on the water surface to the nearby sunken neighborhood reception hall. The sunshine lawn forms a unique enclosure space, adding a pleasant and comfortable atmosphere. Stroll to the open sunny lawn, sun shines on the lawn through the big trees, feeling the breeze, surrounded by the green, running freely.
To further set up the precedent model, the Sponge City strategy has been introduced to direct the water conservation with carefully directed rainwater and city water used at the waterscape and with the eco-friendly material pad as well as a restored system for later irrigation for the landscape use.
Through various technical approaches including “infiltration, stagnation, storage, purification, utilization, and drainage”, it realizes the benign hydrological cycle of the city, improves the infiltration, storage, purification, utilization, and discharge capacity of runoff rainwater, and restores the sponge function of the city.
A clear vision, united design language, finely construction and eco-friendly construction enabled the Future Center truly precedent for other projects in the suburban areas of Yangjiang. With a relatively modest investment, the Media Center landscape design has become the public space both artful and flexible for different stages of purposes.
