More About River of Light Landscape
River of Light is a landscape design for the side yard of a residential community. Curved strip patterns form the main theme and create layered spaces of water and greenery. A former plain backyard has been reshaped into a smooth and intriguing walking route with secured privacy. Curved reinforced concrete walls of different heights were built with customized molds and bent rebars, some of which were shaped on site.

Design Details
- Unique Properties
- The curve strip patterns, as the theme of space design, demonstrate the delicate layers of flowing space that remodels the previous dull backyard of the residential community into the convoluted water and green experience of space. The original small after, by means of the flowing structures and lines, has become smooth and intriguing.
- Inspiration
- The flowing river of light creates the convoluted water and green experience of space, in which the flowing and intriguing curves, as well as the smooth walls, are as heart-warming as embracing family. As to the residential functions, the current small but distinct space is suitable for different needs for the usage of space, in which people feel relaxed in the privacy-secured space.
- Research
- The side yard of the congregate housing, mainly for walk path, is grown with numerous native perennial plants in Taiwan. The green space covered with the diverse plants encompassing the evergreen arbors and shrubs artistically resembles the green boundary to the outside world. The plants changing in colors and species in different seasons are as appealing as an art painting, on which sky signifies the empty space for lights and shadows that enliven the urban life with the greenery scenes and the flowing fresh air.
- Challenge
- The light changes infinitely that the sunlight exists in life and the ingenious design of illuminations at night exposes the different charm. The light flows, the time flows, and the life accordingly moves sustainably.
- Realization and Technology
- The curved RC structures of building, in the process of assembling the molds and rebars, are more complex than the regular structures of walls. This specific structure needs the customized molds and rebars bent for the explicit shapes. Some rebars, meanwhile, are remodeled on the site.
