SEASIDE MOUNTAIN MONKEY PARK LOCATION :KHAO SAM MUK, THAILAND SIZE:LARGE SCALE PROJECT TYPE :MOUNTAIN RESORT DESIGN YEAR:YEAR 3


At present, the rapid development of urbanization has caused more and more serious damage to the natural landscape of mountainous areas, while the discharge of pollutants and man-made damage also affect the balance of the ecosystem. Therefore, how to combine the restoration of natural ecology with landscape construction has become an important subject of contemporary ecological landscape design.So I put forward a plan after combining humanity, nature and ecology to make the nature of the site, people and monkeys coexist harmoniously.

ARTIFICIAL NATURE —— MONKEY'S HOME There are many wild monkeys on this mountain, so the animal experience is as important as the tourist experience in this project.To create a more vibrant and safe habitat for the animals, the combination of viewing platforms, trails and their habitats creates space for both human and animal activities.They used to fight over food, but now there are special places for them to have food and rest. People can watch and learn about monkeys from different angles, but they are still naughty.

WILD NATURE —— BIG LUMPS OF WOOD Children under 16 who spend two-thirds of their free time at home, mostly in front of a TV or computer screen, are described as "hothouse animals".In the age of electronics and the Internet, urban children are cut off from mountains, forests, streams and fields, and some even fear nature.But can a hothouse child adapt to the world?Live "naturally"!Here you can temporarily bid farewell to the hustle and bustle of the city, breathe the fresh air, communicate with animals happily, feel the beauty of nature.

The difference between the third type of wall is that it has two more doors, so more people pass through it. Through the ups and downs of the wall, the new contemporary image of the old wall landscape is reconstructed, which not only gives people a clear spatial rhythm, but also increases the recognition of the street.
