ANALYSIS
MANDARIN GARDEN
THE “SENSE OF PLACE”
As we can see the site is surrounded by several buildings with different functions and linked with two parks. The main goal of Finenco’s design is to connect the complex to external buildings and to keep the continuity of green space between the two parks.
CONCEPT
After the first analysis, it was clear that the project is located in an area of strong development that will soon become a new center of the city. Therefore, here, we can see many construction sites of residence, hotel, shopping center, political and administrative building. Standing among different architectural styles of various functions above, it is hard for the project to find common language to create an harmony
in the local’s landscape and architecture. In addition, the area’s landscape is rather “poor”, lacks of green space and vitality equal to the function role of a new urban center. Hence, about Mandarin Garden’s, Finenco wants to focus on the “Sense of place” concept. This means giving a unique identity to the area and at the same time marking an unforgetable impression on residents and visitors.

For doing this, we wants to use local natural materials but in different and creative ways; maximize the green area with local trees and plants which can grow easily, stay green all year and are easy to take care. We also use lighting and water elements to enhance the beauty of landscape.
