The rapid expansion of urban areas has resulted in the erosion of cultural heritage, detachment from urban life, and disorganized cityscapes. These challenges necessitate a comprehensive approach to urban planning that embraces the vibrancy of street life, commerce, and culture. In our landscape design, we have embraced the concept of weaving as the central technique for interconnecting the garden path system. By transforming urban nodes and street corners into intricately woven mosaic blocks and seamlessly integrating the original dispersed green spaces with the surrounding culture, history, and industry, we aim to establish a people-centric thoroughfare. This thoroughfare is envisioned to blossom into a prominent and enduring cultural landscape in the years to come.
In the realm of paving planning, the team took a thoughtful approach by prioritizing the preservation of existing paving to minimize additional material usage, aligning with energy conservation and carbon reduction policies. They implemented the steel plate root barrier method to direct the growth of plant roots into the soil layer below 30 cm, allowing for the installation of a permeable surface.
