The Great Fortune

This landscape design aims to transform a rare building site into a beautiful and charming landmark that will attract people to stop by and enjoy it. The project is located in the 14th rezoning area of Taichung, Taiwan. As the area will be planned to be a landmark building in the future, the team deliberately brought the natural greenery and the traditional Chinese element "Ruyi" into the unrefined lot, symbolizing the rich living function and the "promising future" of the base.

After some ingenious ideas and delicate planning, the team adopted the design concept of "jadeite diamond" and "waterscape inkstone". First, the lines of Ruyi decoration are taken as the appearance of the landmark. The mound of earth is used to create the elevation of the terrain, and then the lawn is used to cover the mound of earth to create the image of a green mound. In the waterscape, the cloud-shaped curves are stacked with masonry. The waterscape is green like a diamond, and the outer frame outlined by the Ruyi lines is like an inkstone, quietly grinding the greenest ink for the city. In addition, the surrounding green hills and woods are surrounded by trees, so that the elements of nature, such as "mountain,” "water," "forest," and "stone,” are introduced into the landscape art, forming the most beautiful traditional Chinese scenery, which is gorgeous and poetic.

Through the team's careful planning, the landscape art is skillfully created by using natural expressions to continue the image of the park's green belt, as if one could hear the murmur of the ecology. This way, the park will become a paradise in the city, providing people with a landscape space for sightseeing and relaxation.

The landscape art in this project is designed to regulate the ambient temperature effectively, purify the air quality, beautify the urban streetscape, and ameliorate the urban heat island effect by installing ponds, covering lawns, and planting trees and plants. Through this, people will enjoy natural greenery while achieving various environmental benefits such as ecological health, human-centered health, and global sustainability.
