About Waterfront Pearl Uferpark

Waterfront Pearl ist ein Uferpark am Jialing-Fluss in Nanchong, China. Der Park erstreckt sich über rund 1.200.000 Quadratmeter und umfasst sowohl Landschaftsarchitektur als auch Hochbauplanung. Die vorhandene Gewässer- und Dammtopografie des Geländes wird genutzt, um westlich des Bashan-Bergs eine Flachufer- bzw. Sandbankform auszubilden. Das Terrain wird neu modelliert und bepflanzt, um den naturnahen Charakter zu stärken. Die Gestaltung nimmt Bezug auf die lokale Yuji-Kultur und auf die Geschichte von Da Yu, der die Fluten bändigte. Es entsteht ein öffentlicher Raum für Erholung, kulturelle Präsentationen und Festveranstaltungen.

Production Technology: The design breaks through the connection between mountains and rivers, balance the proportion of cities and nature, create an ideal urban ecological axis, and form a good urban landscape pattern. In order to overcome the construction difficulties caused by complex forms, we adopt a parameterized approach to shape the building and use BIM for design and management, and use fiber concrete and other new materials for construction. The roof is shaped into a landscape of accessible vegetation.
Design Challenge: Since the project is a large-scale waterfront park, how to maintain the original waterfront ecology and reduce the impact of site development is a major starting point of the design. For this reason, we introduce Jialing River into the site to create a closer intuitive experience for people's hydrophilic activities. At the same time, we strengthen the natural context, and strive to form a secluded Southern painting scene by combing the terrain of the earth landscape and planting plants.
Research: We use the existing topography of "water" and "dam" in the site to create a shoal shape with shocking impact force in the west of Bashan Mountain. In view of the long history of Yuji culture of Nanbu, the designer proposed the concept of "Pearl Jialing and Bright Riverside". Under the premise of meeting the requirements of large-scale park and characteristic visual landscape belt, the culture of Da Yu (the third of the three legendary emperors who created the Chinese state) is included in the whole site and the life of Da Yu is displayed through line construction and form symbol.
Inspiration: Relying on a river and five lakes, the design uses the traditional and modern design methods to create the feature with the prospect of the city on the water and the water in the city. The site narrates the story of Da Yu controlling the Floods, continues the spirit of floods control, highlight the history of Yuji and create a cultural card for the integration of water cities in Nanbu.
Project Duration: The project started in February 2018 and will be finished in 2021 in Nanchong.
Operation Flow: The design aims to build a landscape landmark of Jialing waterfront, a holiday engine of tourism in Nanbu, and a happy place for health preservation in Western Sichuan.
