- Design Challenge
- The project mainly "balances" the following three relationships:
1. Condition and site: how to define the space field orderly and dance with shackles under limited conditions?
2. Public and private: the crowds are complicated and the circulation routes are intertwined. How to plan the optimal circulation routes of different crowds?
3. The past and the present: in the core area of old Xiguan, how to continue to rebrand the area? - Research
- In such a project with unique cultural connotations and spirit of place of Liwan District, Guangzhou, the designers hoped to establish a connection between urban public spaces and private spaces through landscape, aroused memories of Xiguan in the old days, and made everyone have a sense of participation and belonging, so that the glory of the old city could not only be engraved in history, but also be continued in the new era in a way of "harmony".
- Inspiration
- Poly Tan Gim is located on the bank of the Pearl River in Liwan District, Guangzhou, Guangdong, close to the golden waterway of the Pearl River. It is only a few meters away from the river bank. The design team firstly considered how to interpret the language and emotion of the site.
- Project Duration
- The project was designed in early 2019 and completed in October 2019 in Guangzhou.
- Operation Flow
- How to interpret the language and emotion of the site was what the design team mainly thought about.
Based on the original advantages of the site, we make three strategies:
1. Sharing and coexisting: share private gateway, sort out the complicated relationship of circulation routes;
2. Combing and integrating: divide spaces with terrain in the open area, and guide crowds with waterscape in filed area;
3. Respecting and reinterpreting: remain original trees, and reinterpret the traditional architectural language of Xiguan buildings. - Image Credits
