About Plot 140 Poly Guanggang Disseny paisatgístic residencial

La Parcel·la 140 Poly Guanggang és un disseny paisatgístic residencial a Canton, Xina, que abasta una àrea paisatgística de 21.000 metres quadrats. L'emplaçament és llarg i estret, amb una distància de nord a sud de només 40 metres. Es va crear un jardí vertical per ampliar l'espai verd dins d'un entorn urbà compacte. Un corredor per a vianants elevat amb una estructura d'acer connecta tot l'emplaçament i els recursos paisatgístics del voltant. Les plaques d'acer de color òxid evoquen les antigues siderúrgiques que hi havia a l'emplaçament. Els elements de joc afavoreixen la interacció entre els infants i entre pares i fills.

Production Technology
In accordance with the site history - a part of the industrial relic of Steel Works, the designers were inspired to build a steel-framed pedestrian corridor elevated on the site. It is effective to visually connect the whole site and all the surrounding landscape resources, and to fully enlarge landscaping space for residents. The landscaping corridor constructed by rust-colored steel plates looks like a communication bridge between the existing site and Steel Plant Historical Park in mind.
Design Challenge
Located in the historical city center, Guanggang New Town occupies limited land resources, all of which are planned to be built high-rise residential communities except for the Central Park Ecological Axis. Generally, landscaping areas are cramped in these communities. The project site is a piece of long and narrow land with a north-south distance of only 40 meters. And the design team is aim to redefine the value of industrial heritage, create a distinct native landscape experience in the finite space by a warm, agreeable and livable style.
Research
Based on the study of the urban compact space, designers put forward the concept of vertical garden, which perfectly integrating diverse spaces with community, and combining the surrounding industrial landscape resources to create a rich level of garden landscape space and residential activity space.
Considering the needs and interests of children of all ages, as well as encouraging parent-child interaction, a series of amusements was designed. It gives children opportunity to explore the structural spaces and to participate in interactive activities held by the community.
Inspiration
The landscaping corridor constructed by rust-colored steel plates looks like a communication bridge between the existing site and Steel Plant Historical Park in mind, and between past and present within the reminiscence of local people. The up-and-down stepped entrances of the corridor are nestled in the gently undulating woods. It reproduces the experience of raised and lowered industrial heritage, also creates the unified visual experience vertically and horizontally on the site.
Project Duration
The project is designed in August 2016 and finished in April 2019 in Guangzhou, Guangdong, China
Operation Flow

Vertical space is reasonably used in high-density urban community with limited land resource to enlarge the greening area so as to meet the residents’ need of enjoying daily life in the nature. The vertical garden is also a bridge connecting the past and the present of the site, showing its distinct history to residents.
