Production Technology

Compared with natural stone, artificial stone has more outstanding advantages like bright colors, high smoothness, uniform color, compressive wear resistance, good toughness, dense structure, strong and durable, light specific gravity, no water absorption, corrosion resistance and weathering, small color difference, no fading, radioactivity Low, no pan-alkali . All of these characteristics makes it become the most important type of decoration material in today's landscape decoration.

Design Challenge

Lanzhou is located in the northwestern part of China which has hot and dry climate. The planting strategy of the project is to extensively plant native trees and understory vegetation that can adapt to the climatic conditions of Lanzhou. In order to create an immersive, diversified landscape that requires only moderate maintenance, while meeting the sustainability of water resources.

Research

In this era of rapid development but lack of human care, contact with nature is essential for human well-being. The natural environment gives us inner peace and a moment of respite, at the same time, it also prompts us to think about how to protect its health and beauty. Designers deliberately introduced landscapes into commercial operations and theme parks to make contact with nature a part of people's daily experience.

"Forest" is the keyword of the designing.
