Jingkou Village Public Space Landscape Transformation

Project Location: Jingkou Village, Shenzhen                                                           Building Area: 115sqm    

Design Period: 2017.04-2017.09                          Status: Building                          Category: Cultural & Educational


       Located in Jingkou Village, Guangming New District,Shenzhen, the Project originates from the "Fun City in Jingkou" program and intends to design several idle collective lands in the village into venues for village activities.

       The design, originally inspired by the thriving and vivid scenes of life depicted in Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival, incorporates the concept of "moon phases ", "seasonal changes" and "twenty-four solar terms" in farming culture to highlight the prime cropland preservation and cultivation in Jingkou Village. For the renovation of the public spaces, a village road system is created to link up the stage, waterfront square, leisure square and seasons plaza.

      Located on the same axis, the drama stage and ancestral temple follow the scale, construction and details of traditional Chinese wooden architecture in design. With changing water surface in a round pool, the waterfront square simulates the waxing and waning of the moon. The leisure square functions as a transitional space between the ancestral temple and the drama stage. Seasons plaza presents the change and diversity of all four seasons with four different scenes.
