The project was launched with the ambitious objective of transforming a former coal-mining area into a landscape park. This envisaged not only the creation of the landscape park itself, but also the construction of a central entrance building with a nature museum and administration facility, three greenhouses, a restaurant, a bonsai museum and a related research centre with a library and staff accommodation. The centrepiece of the buildings, which are very precisely inserted into the modelled topography, consists of three greenhouses, which were realised as three hemispherical timber lattice domes.
The entrance building, which is approached from the access road via a large courtyard, leads visitors via an open stair that passes through a circular opening in the slab onto a huge roof terrace, from which they can oversee the entire park and become aware of the building’s twin function as an interface between architecture and landscape. The cantilevered viewing platform soars above the area of water at the heart of the park and directs visitors towards the three greenhouses in the botanical gardens.
The terraces of the bonsai museum, which are laid out in concentric circles, provide the constructional framework for this precise presentation of an ancient Far Eastern aspect of Garden Art. The path taken by visitors reflects the principle of a domesticated natural landscape. Just like the mighty domes of the greenhouses, the base of the bonsai museum also reacts dynamically with the modelled topography of the landscape and the surface of the pool. The research centre contains laboratories, studios, office buildings, workshops, meeting rooms, lecture rooms and a library and is broken down into a number of pavilions of different sizes, which are linked together by a common connecting block at ground floor level.
The sculptural articulation of the overall concept is based on traditional Chinese timber roof structures, which it attempts to do justice to by reinterpreting their structural and geometrical logic. The restaurant and tea house is a perfect example of the application of the principles of piled and interwoven loadbearing layers, of creating steps and scale by adding or removing layers close to supports or edges and of playing with proportional relationships between structure and space. The constant dialogue between inside and outside and the architecturally subtle articulation of the interface between architecture and landscape are reflected in the sculptural modelling of the landscape park, which merges organically with the built infrastructure.
這個計畫的目標是將舊煤礦場改造成景觀公園,但它不只是一座景觀公園,還有一棟中央入口建築,包含一個自然博物館和行政單位、三個溫室、一家餐廳、一個盆景館及其相關的研究中心,包括圖書館和員工宿舍。建築物的中心部分精心設計地置入地景之中,由三個木質格狀圓頂的半球體溫室組成。
入口建築從連外道路經過廣大的園區進入,引導遊客搭乘開放式電扶梯,穿過平板上的圓形開口,來到開闊的屋頂露台,他們從那裡可以觀賞整座公園,並感受建築和地景兩相融合;懸臂式的觀景台聳立在公園中心的水域上方,指引遊客看向植物園的三個溫室。
盆景館以階梯式同心圓建置,微妙地展現出古時遠東庭園藝術的結構框架,遊客所走的路徑反映了人工自然景觀的原則。研究中心包含實驗室、工作室、辦公大樓、作坊、會議室、演講廳和圖書館,並分設在幾個大小不一的分館,透過地面層的公共空間連接在一起。
雕塑表達的整體概念是來自於中國傳統的木屋頂結構,試圖透過重新闡釋結構和幾何邏輯充分展現;餐廳和茶館完美地應用了堆疊和交織的原理來承重,並用增加或移除靠近支撐點或邊緣的層疊來創造高低台階,更加以演繹結構和空間的比例關係。室內和戶外的持續對話以及建築和景觀間的連結,所產生的微妙建築表達方式,反映在景觀公園的地景上,有機地融合出基礎建築物。
