CBD Central Park

For a linear park in Beijing Central Business District we propose to represent a mountain ridgeline silhouette; a dynamic configuration composed out of angled metal beams creating an iconic landmark.

Nature here is represented as an abstract construct expressed in ridges and folded lines. Moving along the North/South axis, and seen from different angles the structure creates different visual experience. During daytime the sun will create fantastic pattern of shade and at night the structure will be illuminated in the most striking fashion. Water is represented as a winding twisting rill of water situated as central element of the axis. Towards the South we situated a circular moon reflecting pool of water. At night images are projected upon the surface of the water of the monthly lunar cycle of phases of the moon. We reinvented the simple dogma that without mountain and water there is no Chinese garden.
