Die Landschaftsaufwertung der City Corner Green Space

The City Corner Green Space Landscape Upgrading

An open green space of a city corner is aimed for quality upgrading due to the increasing civil demand on more active and engaging public open space. It is located in a coastal city in southern China, which is surrounded by mountain on the north and has open view to ocean on the south.

I. Basic Requirement:

1. This site is close to a major traffic intersection. We expect large pedestrian and vehicular traffic in daily basis.

2. The existing green space is a barrier between the pedestrian walkway and the commercial complex. The new design should rebuild the connectivity.

3. This green space has apparent height change. It is high in middle and low on the edges. Two high voltage substation boxes are there too. Do pay great attention to and take advantage of this kind of topological and existing conditions.

4. Existing trees can be removed, however, the best is to take advantage of it and keep the number of removal in minimum. But this is not a must. All depends on your deign layout.

5. Sitting space should be considered, like benches etc.

6. General landscape lighting should be considered. But lighting for the pedestrian walk is not a must.

7. The climate of the city is typical tropical, hot and humid in summer, cold in winter. The selection of trees, flowers and bushes should adapt this climatic condition. Research on Google is necessary.

II. Other requirement:
1. We are looking for creative use of land. No particular program requirement. As long as it is buildable, you can design whatever you fell appropriate.
2. The style could be modern or traditional. No particular requirement.
3. This is an early proposal (or study) for our client. We will consider inviting the winner to further involved in later design process, depending on the practicality of doing so.

III. Submission:
1. Basic drawings: site plan, vegetation layout plan, lighting arrangement plan, elevations, sections and analytical diagrams, renderings etc.
2. Supplemental drawings: optional as needed
3. Format: any format as appropriate to demonstrate your idea. However, the three winning entries will be required to submit original drawing files, including CAD, 3D models etc. as part of our submission to our client.
