Wangxiang Park is located in a comprehensive area integrating commerce, residence, school and park in Longli, Guiyang, which is the core of the whole area, covers an area of about 45,800㎡. It is an exploration of the design team towards reconstruction. The design takes the landscape theater as the medium to rebuild the land texture and memory space, promote the simple interpersonal relationship in the past and rebuild the connection between people and land.
The initial impression of the site was contradictory. The mountains on the site formed a continuous and remote external impression, while the interior of the site was destructive and messy. How to build landscape/architecture in a state of natural integration has become the focus of our thinking.
The Chinese people's nostalgia for the land is innate, and this emotion is accompanied by them whenever and wherever they are. With nostalgia and cherishment for the land in our hometown, we extract the life scenes of the local villagers, the cave landforms and the inherent vitality of the authentic site. Will this collision of nature, emotion, and culture, has become the source of our design inspiration. We try our best to close the distance between people and nature, and follow the participation and integration of the scene to return to the hometown and the landscape.
Impression and Challenges of the Venue
The project site has a 22m height difference from the south to the north, and the natural environment is destroyed due to human development, the barren site is out of place with the surrounding mountains. The project intends to reconstruct landscape and return to landscape in the site through the design mode of "intervention -- permeation -- integration". Returning to the landscape with homesickness is also a solution to the current urban development problems.
Local materials are taken to maintain the ecology, and to preserve and reorganize the spatial relationship of the plants on the site; the original appearance retains the rough rocks on the site, or is a road or a scenic stone, and the original materials are integrated with the new space.
