城市小品
Urban Furniture
ISBN: 978-7-5623-4178-9 Size: 248﹡290mm Pages: 240 Price: 298RMB Judging from its title, Urban Furniture may lead you to the idea of modern, elegant and exquisite furniture in grand shopping malls. However, it’s actually all about city public facilities, such as fountains, playground apparatus, signage systems, bike racks, etc. Urban furniture is regarded as the carrier of new functions and new directions for our societies, hence plays a key part in witnessing the city’s transformation. As demographers announce that by 2026 84% of the population of industrialized countries will dwell large cities, the significance of urban furniture indeed concerns us more and more. While grouping together more than 500 public elements and systems, this book is never intended to be seen as informative. What we put our best effort in is to showcase the most recent and innovative aspects of city life, no matter they are in an aesthetic way, or formal, functional, even playful one. The city has its inherent task to share, thus raising the stakes in our willingness to live together. Urban furniture, working as the vital bridge of sharing, has to be historic, diverse and successful. And you will understand all these substances in our book. 《城市小品》从书名上看，仿佛将带着您观赏大型商场里现代、优雅而精巧的 摆设及其设计理念。但实际上本书与所有的城市公共设施，喷泉、操场设施、标识系统、 自行车架等都有关。城市小品被认为承载了新的功能，并为我们的社会提供了新方向， 因而非常关键且见证了城市的转型。人口统计学家宣称，到 2026 年，工业化国家 84% 的人口将居住在大城市里，城市小品也引起了我们越来越多的关注。 本书收录了 500 余个公共元素和体系，虽原本并不以信息量为策划方向，却有 丰富的信息量。我们努力地展示城市生活中最新最富创意的方面，无论是美的，还 是正式的、功能性强的，或是玩乐性质的。这个城市有其固有的任务，即共享资源等， 从而使得我们更愿意一起生活。城市小品作为为共享而设的重要桥梁，必须是具有 历史意义的、多样且成功的。在我们的书中您将领会城市小品所有的这些特质。

Waldkirchen This small garden festival is based on a decentralised exhibition concept. The main area of the garden exhibition is designed as a loop path from the core of the garden exhibition, the new Waldkirchen urban park, via old town to the characteristic areas in and near Waldkirchen.
Rehwaldt LA, Dresden Area: 7,5 ha Client: Natur in Waldkirchen 2007 GmbH Photographer: Rehwaldt LA, Dresden Designer:
As the main feature of the garden exhibition a new urban park was developed on the south-eastern edge of the old town, along brook Waeschlbach. Through reorganisation of existing streets, parking sites and a bus stop a spacious entrance square to the urban park and the garden exhibition could be established. Here, all main events and activities take place. “Landschaftsbalkone” (scenic
balconies) are offering special views into the surrounding landscape and are explaining them. The Waeschlbach valley features a variety of scenic and historic sites like the natural landmark “Gsteinet“, floodplain forests and hillside meadows along Waeschlbach, as well as some protected habitats in an urban context. Along the elongated meadows the manifold topographies and the diverse landforms were used to develop differentiated gardens and to provide great views into the landscape. Within the garden exhibition a new open space system was established which links the urban park and the adjacent residentials through new paths. Within the structural facilities and design focuses the Waldkirchen´s characteristic location as part of the Bavarian Forest was respected. Therefore, the material wood plays an important roll as functional and
artistic element. The elements of the urban park as entrance square, urban promenade, water stair case, cherry gardens, pond and Waeschlbach as well as the spacious meadows with the „Gsteinet” are understood and designed as self-contained areas. Manifold views beyond the park borders enlarge the spatial impression of the park. An additional focus of the garden exhibition is the garden “Bellevue“ along the loop path. It represents the city’s character besides the other municipal open spaces as market-
place, cemetery, urban park and sports fields. At the “Bellevue“ the unique view at Waldkirchen was used and staged through a self-contained design. Waterbound paths frame the shrub and bush plantings and show the inside and outside areas. On a spatial view point a water fountain was placed which is playground and recreational zone in one. On historic site of Waldkirchen´s water reserve the site was new interpreted by using instruments of contemporary landscape architecture.

He invites the sun and sky color to pass through the inflorescences for creating flowery landscapes in every place easily.
He pilots the colours at the speed of light for getting out of
the urban asphyxia. Its Radar Pixel invites also to a more relaxed and smiley driving. Slow down in order to appreciate the great power of colors!

Beijing Green Building Park The Beijing Welcome Centre is a project for a gateway exhibition building for a new sustainable industry park in Beijing. The building is based on the principle of manipulating a box envelope for environmental and contextual concerns in order to make a building which is low tech and low
cost. The first manipulation is to join the existing car park to the R&D centre and the park loop. This allows the public to walk over the building and experience the park in a different height, first getting an overview before descending into it. The second series of manipulations are based around
sustainability, blocking the cold north Beijing winter wind, promoting the cool southeast summer wind, creating shadow to the south and moveable sun shading / solar cells to the east and west. The building becomes a result of a series of pragmatic scientific operations making a piece of architecture which is ingrained in the site and promotes the notion of low tech sustainability.

This striking litterbin reinvents the traditional woven wastepaper basket by replacing its fibres with sleek metal spines. Traditionally, baskets were created as functional items, but today the practice of basket-making is likened to an art form.
Basket combines function and form in an efficient outdoor litterbin constructed with a cylindrical container and a basket-like protective outer casing. Its wide mouth makes it an easy target for waste items, which disappear into the container below.
