Quiltingtheterrain
Thetransformativestrategyofquiltingtheterrainisexecutedbythefollowingfourstrategies:
(1)Preservationofthelandscape’sassets
Themosaiclandscapepatternanditsnaturalprocessesarekeptbasicallyunchanged:
therockoutcroppingsandcliffs,thebrushandgrasscover,thenaturaldrainagesystemandthefluctuationofriverwater,theagriculturalfields,andthetreesliningtheriverbankarekeptintact.Theculturallandscapeelementsincludingthevillagetrailswiththeoldpavilionandtheirrigationditchwiththepumphousearetreatedasculturalheritageelementsofthesitetobemaintainedandrepairedtopreservethesite’shistory.Thesesignificantnaturalandculturallandscapefeaturescomposeacanvaslacedwithmeaningandrichtextures,ontowhichthelandscapearchitectweavedinlayersofcontextuallyappropriatedesign.
(2)“Quilting”productivevegetationintotheterrain:
Whiletheexistinghabitatswerepreserved,productivecropswereintroducedtocovertheabandonedfields.Thecropsrotateannuallyaccordingtotheseason:
canolaflowersinthespring,sunflowersinthesummerandfall,andbuckwheatinearlywinter.Meadowsplantedwithamixtureofflowerspeciesalsorotatewithotherproductivecropsinsomeareas.Patchesoflowmaintenanceperennialchrysanthemumflowers,whichcanbeharvestedforChineseherbalmedicine,aregrowntoenrichthelandscapespectrum.Twoareasofgrassylawnsaredesignatedforcamping,athleticfields,kid’srecreation,etc.Thediversepalletofvegetationcreatesanoverallproductiveand/orlowmaintenancecanvasthatencouragesdynamicyear-roundeventsandcelebrationsandprovidesday-to-dayuseofthepark.
(3)Adaptingthewaterprocessesandwaterresilience:
Thepre-existingdrainagesystemonthesitewaspreserved,andadditionalbio-swaleswereaddedtofieldsandslopedareastocaptureandfilterstormwater(whichcanbeusedforirrigationwhenneeded).Permeablematerialswereusedonallpavedsurfaces.Concreteembankmentswereremovedsothattheriverandwetlandswerefreetofluctuatenaturally.Aboardwalkwasdesignedto“float”abovetherivercreatinganaccessroutethatallowsvisitorstoappreciatetheredstonecliffs,whichwouldotherwisegounnoticed.Thepavilionswerebuilttobeflood-friendly.
(4)Framingtheterrainandwaterwithanetworkofpathsandstructures:
