Descrizione Progetto:
|
The park acts as an urban connector, organizer of infrastructure, cultural campus and botanical garden. Paths are drawn from one point to another, connecting different areas (residential, commercial, governmental) around the site, creating a web of paths.
This web generates irregular plots that represent different types of gardens.
By folding them up or down, both paths and plots can overcome height differences and bridge roads and underlying traffic tunnels; create sound walls and downward slopes.
Circular forests are scattered over the site and will grow into interior spaces with
vegetal canopies of different colour and structure that float above the park. A series of cultural, educational, social and commercial buildings are placed in the park and along its edges, triggering interest and income for the area and thus securing a high-level maintenance program for the park.
