About Xixi Endliess Garden Monitoimikerho

Xixi Endliess Garden on monitoimikerho, joka sijaitsee Xixin kosteikkoalueella Hangzhoussa, Kiinassa. Perinteinen paviljonkien ja käytävien rakenne määrittelee rakennukset, tilat ja toiminnot. Paviljongit sijaitsevat kosteikon keskellä ja ne yhdistyvät toisiinsa käytävillä. Laatikkomainen rakenne ilman keskeisiä pilareita tuo moderniin muotoon perinteisen ilmeen. Valkoiset seinät ja harmaat ikkunat noudattavat Etelä-Kiinan rakennusperinnettä. Rakennusala on 5 642 neliömetriä. Suunnittelu rajoittaa rakennusten ja teiden kokoa alkuperäisen kosteikkoekosysteemin suojelemiseksi.

Unique Properties: Adopting the concept of nothingness could make the design of Xixi more natural and smooth. The general planning and landscape design of this project is aimed to return to nature and its ancient forms and by planning, constructing and landscape designing, to adjust the relation with nature and restore China traditional construction, passing on the quality of harmony, peace, silence and quiescence of Chinese culture as well as traditional views upon neighborhood, life, ideal and mindset.
Dimensions & Packaging: Occupied Area: 710,000 square meters
Construction Area: 5,642 square meters
Tags: Wetland, Planning, Landscape, Hangzhou
Production Technology: As to the planning of Xixi Art Village, the project team discussed a lot in earlier stage and in hope to protect the wetland in a more ecological manner, showcasing its original forms while preserving native landscapes. At last, the strategy of respect wetland with minimum intervention was adopted in general planning and design, which includes strict control over the size of constructions and roads, utilization of existing road system and more walks complemented with few electrical vehicles.
Design Challenge: Designer insists on adopting the style of normal constructions, hoping that such constructions could fit into the landscape, and takes great care upon the size of construction, fitness of nature and the protection of original ecology. Hangzhou represents the most of China southern tradition and Xixi Wetland thus attracts most of southern men of letters. Here, the constructions should represent more of its culture and natural landscape.
Research: The Project locates at Hangzhou Xixi Wetland, where the ancients used to seclude from the outside as it enjoys both cultural elegance as well as the unique landscape of the south, representing both natural scenery and human affections for waters. Designer believes that only by adopting the concept of nothingness could make the design of Xixi more natural and smooth.
Inspiration: Traditional structure of pavilion and corridor is adopted in defining entire construction, space and function, making such construction a pavilion in the wetland and landscape connected by corridors and showcasing charm of China tradition; box like structure with no pillars in the middle adds a sense of modernity to construction, combining both traditional and modern forms. As for coloring, the designing embodies respects for the southern characteristics, using white walls and gray windows.
Project Duration: Location: Hangzhou, Zhejiang, China
Designed/Completed in: 2008/2016
Operation Flow: Spaces of pavilion and corridor enable construction to better fit in nature and time, and have different forms in each season: when it snows, the yard could provide a warm place for watching the snow falling; when it rains, people could stay in rooms to watch beautiful raindrops in the yard; in spring and autumn, the corridor furnishes itself in different forms for people to enjoy; even in a day, changes could take place from daylight to night.
