About Feng Qi Wu Tong Descriptio Locorum

Feng Qi Wu Tong est descriptio locorum ad regionem habitandi in Jiangsu, in Sinis, sita, spatium trium milium ducentorum metrorum quadratorum complectens. Dispositio formam unius axis et trium atriorum sequitur, secundum lineam mediam symmetrica, ordinem formalem foris praebens et animum artificiosum tranquillum intus. Rationes aedificandi Suzhou et dynastiae Tang cum methodis designationis recentioribus et artibus construendi coniunguntur. Semitae curvae, porticus flexuosa, parva atria et hortus saxosus recreationi cotidianae subveniunt. Hortus pluvialis ex plantarum congeriebus formatus sordes ex aquis superficialibus expurgat.

Unique Properties: The landscape of Feng Qi Wu Tong as a whole employs the form of one axis and triple courtyards, symmetrical along the central axis, creating a sense of ceremony with the Confucian ritual order for the external paradigm, while keeping to the artistic beauty for the internal patterns.
Dimensions & Packaging: Total Area : 3200 square meters
Tags: Landscape, Chinese, Gray, Economical, Green
Production Technology: This case adopts environment friendly economical materials to adapt to the contemporary philosophy of eco environment protection for sustainable development. The rainwater garden constituted by plant clusters can effectively remove suspended particles, organic pollutants and harmful substances such as heavy metal ions and pathogens in the stream flow.
Design Challenge: The block buildings are connected by curved lines. The winding corridor and loop design keep people entertained. The vegetation is elaborately selected to fit the atmosphere of the case in modeling and quality. The relatively open space integrates the scene design techniques of small courtyard, Japanese rock garden, and modern outdoor recreation to meet the daily recreational functions.
Research: Instead of simple landscaping, the designer ponders more about the inherent cultural literacy and appeals to the design method of gardening with the painting technique, to create an artistic conception of the space that is implicit and yet abundant, plain and tranquil.
Inspiration: This case is located near the edge of a lake in Suzhou, a famous ancient garden city in China. The designer integrates the Suzhou architectural style with that of the Tang Dynasty and, coupled with the modern design context and construction techniques, builds a high quality residential quarter that complies with the interests and needs of modern residents.
Project Duration: The project was located in Jiang Su China. It was finished in April 2021.
Operation Flow: Breaking the determinant composition of conventional housing in architectural plane layout, this case adopts the settlements portfolio, which restores the flexible spatial relationship in the traditional housing pattern. Through well proportioned, interspersed and occlusive arrangement of the single building space, it forms diverse cluster variations, produces distinct spatial feelings, and builds up a neighborhood atmosphere of traditional street features.
