About Rizhao Bailuwan Cherry Blossom Town Art and Cultural Space
Rizhao Bailuwan Cherry Blossom Town is a park landscape design in Rizhao, China. The design respects the natural mountain setting and the character of the existing orchard. Three elements define the site. A pure cherry orchard is elevated above the ground. Curved textured walls, built from local granite boulders found on the site, blur the boundary between vertical wall and horizontal path. Winding roads covered with cherry blossom petals complete the impression of a forest valley. Local craftsmen shaped the stone with traditional techniques.

- Production Technology
- Rubble, is a witness to the era of the change of site. We use the rough stone which is originally from the site and process it into stone veneer. Local craftsmen use traditional techniques and modern expressions to take the locality. People and nature are guarding this place in the same way.
- Design Challenge
- Big steep, bare rock, yellow land......We soothed the abused mountain and paid our respects.
The site is inherently spiritual, and only by means of "rooting" can it not be destroyed and the original spirit of the site can be retained to the greatest extent. - Research
- What is the relationship between the landscape and the land? From our point of view, they should be like "a nail pierced into the earth", as whole, not individual parts.
There is no subjective and arbitrary speculation, but to follow the clues provided by the site and continue to inherit the spirit of the site in a brand-new form. - Inspiration
- “I desire to feel something that the inherent tensions drives and comes from the original site.” In the current market, placing the same design system on different sites without distinction is not a rare move. We reject such crude copying, and strive to intervene in the site with a “take root” mentality. This means we take the situation of the site in the first place, to think of the materials that we have before taking actions in design.
- Project Duration
- The project started in 2019 and completed the construction of the entrance and park in 2020 in Rizhao, Qingdao.
- Operation Flow
- In the spirit of “take root” in the site, the strategy of landscape and earth is adopted. Taking a continue epidermis method to blurry the boundary, in an uncommon dimension, it breathes and grows together with the earth.
