The International Federation of Landscape Architects (IFLA) is the most influential academic organization in the international landscape architecture industry under the guidance of UNESCO, and currently has 80 national community organizations as its members.
01 General introduction of the project
China Railway Century Shangcheng is located in Shanghai's Fengxian District, which is close to the East China Sea and is mainly fishermen. The local area is characterized by virtuous culture, and the main feature of the building is the alley of the water town. Therefore, the landscape design of the community service center is a landscape design with the theme of marine culture and water town living room. The building is a community service center, the living room of the community, and the parking lot is underground. The original environment is surrounded by a large water surface and is close to the seaside, so the design still adopts a large water surface and integrates the characteristics of the water town and marine culture into the design.
The site has a high rate of green space, close to the park, and the landscape design reflects the concept of "park family, water town lane". In-depth understanding of sustainable landscape design and eco-design principles. The local culture and the sustainability of culture are emphasized, and the architectural form of the alley with local characteristics is preservedEcosystem conservation is an important principle achieved through the use of appropriate plant, soil and water treatment technologies;Recycling and conservation is another important principle achieved through the reuse of water, energy and materialsSpatial layout and accessibility are the fourth important principles, which are achieved through the design of appropriate roads, trails and plazasThe emphasis on exercise and health is the fifth principle;Management and maintenance is the sixth important principle to ensure the sustainability and aesthetics of the landscape through the adoption of appropriate management and maintenance strategies.
The total area of the project is about 60,000 square meters.
The picture shows the methods used in the application of sustainable landscape design and ecological design in this project, as well as the description of each zoning.
02 Realization of a sustainable cultural landscape
The landscape design of this residential area is the result of the designers' efforts and wisdom, and the natural beauty of the area and the cultural characteristics of the community are skillfully integrated. Aesthetically, the elements and combinations of landscape design focus on the sustainability of the cultural landscape and the ecological design content, striving to create an aesthetically pleasing and functional place to live.
01Local culture and cultural sustainability
The embodiment of the sustainability of cultural landscape refers to the integration of local, historical, cultural and other elements in the process of creating landscape space, so as to enrich the overall image and meaning of landscape space. The project takes into account the local cultural heritage, customs, historical traditions and urban spirit, such as incorporating design elements into the local natural environmentOr use cultural symbols to create cultural themes to create a series of cultural landscapes with connotations.
The logo design of this project is inspired by the sculpture "Daughter of the Sea", which is illuminated through the hollow design, and the light turns from blue to orange like the sun rising on the sea. The exterior wall of the community center looks like an unfolded fishing net, and the whole looks like a boat, anchored in the harbor, symbolizing the harbor where home is the heart.
The designer created a vibrant and energetic landscape space for this area by using more natural elements such as waves, reefs, beaches, etc. At the same time, the designers also protected the natural environment, adding coastal palm groves, marine animal sculptures and other vegetation to the design to make the scenery more natural and beautiful.
02Ecosystem sustainability
Ecosystems are the foundation for human survival, so sustainable landscape design should focus on the protection and construction of ecosystems. Landscape architects can fully study and utilize local vegetation, water resources, soil, etc., and use plants to increase urban green coverage, improve urban air quality, and mitigate the urban heat island effectStrengthen the maintenance and management of water resources, such as rainwater harvesting, promote water recycling, reduce urban drainage, and prevent water waste. At the same time, landscape architects should pay attention to biodiversity, make ecosystems as rich and stable as possible, and increase the adaptability and resilience of ecosystems to the environment.
03Recycling and conservation principles
Recycling and conservation are important concepts for sustainable development and should also be integrated into sustainable landscape design. Landscape designers can strengthen the utilization and management of resources, reduce the generation of waste and pollutants through the regeneration of waste materials, and realize the conservation and reuse of resources. For example, in the design of scenic spots, materials that can be used can be used, such as natural materials, building materials, etc. This will not only promote sustainable development with practical actions, but also enhance the city's image and citizens' awareness of environmental protection.
03 The design of each area of the landscape is presented with ingenuity
This area includes the landscape design of the front and back yards of the community center building, and the sunken courtyard. According to the above design principles, the spiritual fortress indication area, the beach reef landscape area, the trestle bay landscape area, and the sunken garden landscape area are emphatically elaborated. The first is the spiritual fortress indication area, which is taken from the "daughter of the sea", which is borrowed by the designer from the image of a beautiful, mysterious and kind mermaid in Western legends. The simplicity of the elements and the sharpness of the shapes sums up a modern, abstract aesthetic. This design style fully demonstrates the aesthetic orientation of the modern industrial age and the extreme attention to nature and humanity.
The beach reef landscape area is a place where natural scenery is placed in the community, and it is established by a specific form and space. The designers simulated the topography of the beach and added a number of subjective elements to enhance the sense of place. Simple morphological changes, a mix of different materials, colours, and changing light and shadow effects create a striking picture of pristine seaside scenery for residents to relax and enjoy the beauty of nature.
The Zhanqiao Bay Scenic Area undoubtedly presents a romantic harbor night scene, with a foggy forest that makes visitors marvel at the fairyland-like forest, and a fountain that seems to be turbulent, relying on the trestle bridge, as if constantly focusing on the center of the bay area, making people feel bright, as if they are in a small harbor. Such graceful and diverse landscape elements constitute an illusory and interesting bay space, attracting countless people to come and enjoy this beauty.
In the sunken garden landscape area, natural landscapes such as the beautiful coral islands in the blue ocean are realistically reproduced with artificial landscapes.
The designers used a large number of coral sculptures, seabed installations, floor paving, and art installations to create a sunken garden that simulates an underwater scene. This design style not only breaks the way of building gardens based on flowers and vegetation, but also stimulates people's deep thinking and exploration of nature and the future of human beings.
Finally, the community center landscape area presents an abstract image of the harbor, where the design of a fishing net boat expresses the image of a residential area sitting on the ocean. The design style sees the residential area as a beautiful boat navigating the sea, reflecting the community's mission and responsibility to connect with society.
These landscape designs amaze the public and are like a natural work of art, guarding the homes of residents. People return home and enjoy this beautiful and comfortable environment, as if they are in a quiet and beautiful dream. These beautiful landscapes will eventually lead people back to their homes and become a haven for the soul.
The realization of the landscape design of China Railway Century Shangcheng focuses on the realization of sustainable cultural landscape. The designer integrates the local natural scenery and community cultural characteristics, pays attention to the protection and construction of the ecosystem, strengthens the utilization and management of resources, and realizes the conservation and reuse of resources through the regeneration of waste materials. The design of each area of the landscape is ingenious, including the spiritual fortress indication area, the beach reef landscape area, the trestle bay landscape area, the sunken garden landscape area, etc., forming a landscape space full of vitality and vitality, creating a beautiful and comfortable environment for the residents.
