城市中的绿色乐园


presented as part of a larger masterplan, this project by vincent callebaut architectures has been designed to combat potentially damaging migration patterns in china.

roughly half the rooftop is covered with photovoltaic panels

vehicular movement is rationalized to improve and prioritize the pedestrian environment

a ‘pro-active landscape’ provides open spaces and an informal network of pedestrian links

streets, plazas and parking areas contribute to capturing water through a series of ‘rain gardens’

a passive geothermal cooling and heating system is employed

as more of the county’s vast population moves from rural areas to larger cities, urban resources have been stretched, resulting in incidences of overcrowding, pollution and substandard living.

within this framework, ‘wooden orchids’ offers local residents a vast retail complex that also includes a public library, a sports center, organic food courts and a farmers market.

streets, plazas and parking areas contribute to capturing water through a series of ‘rain gardens’. surface water is then filtered through biofiltration means before being released into the wider drainage network.

at roof level, a large sky garden integrates children’s playgrounds alongside food gardens
