Blooming Boulevard is a continually blooming planting
proposal of the Yanzheng Road
and Changzhou Road West
17km highway within the Wujin district in China. The proposal focuses on a
planting strategy that directly responds to the master plan enabling the
spectrum of colour to be translated into vegetative ribbons that exist in bands
of colour along the road edge.
Much of the vegetation chosen are species native to China allowing
them to easily adapt to the sites conditions.
Utilizing native and ornamental vegetation articulates the composition
of traditional Chinese gardening, offering the site sought novelty not only in
physical beauty but in historical, literal and symbolic associations.
A combination of two vegetative species exists within the
same planting band at one time enabling smooth and striking planting precision.
As the seasons change so does the foliage transforming the colour spectrum
producing a continually changing landscape with new experiences for everyone.
