About Pingxiang SunbiZitan Scenic Area Design Paisagística de Área Cênica

A Área Cênica SunbiZitan é um distrito paisagístico e comercial situado no canto sudoeste de um parque de zonas húmidas, com uma área de terreno de cerca de 110.000 metros quadrados. A implantação dá continuidade ao traçado da aldeia local, com edifícios comerciais em estilo de residência tradicional agrupados em pequenos conjuntos. A água corre entre os conjuntos e os espaços pedonais são ligados por pontes para peões. As construções recorrem a estruturas de madeira tradicionais chinesas com encaixes de malhete e espiga. Os materiais principais incluem madeira de lauan, paredes de taipa e pequenas telhas cinzentas. São plantadas espécies arbóreas autóctones.

Unique Properties: SunbiZitan Scenic Area is located at the southwest corner of the park, with a plot area of about 110,000 square meters. By continuing the layout features of local village, several traditional residence-style commercial buildings enclose small clusters, bringing together commercial functions of various operations. Water flows through the clusters, and walking spaces scattered in the clusters are connected by pedestrian bridges, forming a pure commercial and leisure walking block with separated water systems and linked lands.
Dimensions & Packaging: The project occupies a gross floor area of 5,680 square meters, mainly accommodating catering and commerce functions.Hard landscapes cover an area of 14,172 square meters, and green land and water have an area of 90,548 square meters.

Production Technology: The buildings adopt Chinese traditional wooden structure withmortiseandtenonjoints. All the timbers are waterproof, fireproof and insect-proof, minimizing the application of metal connectors. Main materials include lauan wood, rammed-earthwall and small gray tile. Hard landscape materials mainly consist of natural stone slabs that feature anti-slip surface and old-style treatment. Native tree species are planted .
Design Challenge: We strived to create an architectural work with low plot ratio. But it was contradictory tocommercial requirements and the client's subjective demands. In response, we gathered small-volume buildings to form a large-scale, cluster-style and enclosed spatial layout.
Research: Based on site investigation, we obtained the basic data about its landform and vegetation conditions. By studying local historical documents, we learnt about the characteristics of local house clusters. Moreover, we spent time living with local residents, to understand local living habits, building features and surroundings. On this basis, we incorporated commercial functions that the project required into the site, to realize new construction goals while retaining traditional characteristics.
Inspiration: In the context of new urbanization, Pingxiangscientifically protects the cultural heritage ofTianzhong Ancient Town, shows local cultural characteristics, and improves its urban culture, all of which are the new highlights of the city's modern development. The Ancient Town Reservoir (Wetland Park)combines parkdevelopment and ancient town protection, with humanistic landscapes and historical and culturalsitecomplementing each other, creating an important cultural landscape with a long history and the largest scale in Pingxiang.
Project Duration: Duration: June 19, 2013 to June 2019
Loation: Tianzhong Area, Pingxiang, Jiangxi Province
Operation Flow: To create a commercial block with friendlyand pleasant scales and details, the designers engaged in the entire process on the site, ranging fromspatial scales, material selection to construction details, with a view to ensuring the completion effect.
