The First Specialised Landscape Magazine in the Middle East

EDITOR’S NOTE Our October issue features residential projects that go way beyond traditional buildings and infrastructure, these projects have been designed with the future in mind. Learn about the landscape architects, urban planners and developers who are rising to the climate challenge by creating smarter, more resilient cities, that also promote community wellbeing.

Sierra Sathorn is a new residential complex in Bangkok that hopes to set new standards in high-rise design through sustainable landscape architecture practices and innovative terrarium solutions. The project targets biodiversity, efficient water management, and ecological well-being, maximising green spaces for a more sustainable urban future. Read more about it on page 30 Designed with a ‘Sponge-City’ landscape strategy, New York based architects, Archi-Tectonics and !Melk designed the masterplan for the 19th Asian Games, which are currently underway in the Chinese city of Hangzhou. Part of their post-games strategy is to make the city more liveable for residents. A large part of their focus was on a hilly oasis programme that provides year round recreation for residents and doubles as a green lung, restoring the local biome and strengthening its hydrology. Making Hangzhou not just greener, but a more resilient city equipped to deal with more severe weather patterns.

Our cover story features the Russian architectural bureau RYMAR Studio, who give us a sneak peek into their large-scale renovation project of a luxury family home in the prestigious Al Mamoura District of Doha, Qatar. We also feature the renovation of an opulent family villa located in an affluent neighbourhood of Jaipur, India.

As the curtain closes on the 2023 Landscape Festival held during September in Bergamo, this year’s cultural capital of Italy, we look at architects Topotek 1’s proposal that it submitted during the festival, it’s a physical and figurative framework designed with collective social efforts in mind. Under the theme, “Grow Together Grow Green” they built a modular structure of scaffolding covered with seedlings of species that are typical to the region. The use of scaffolding – a lightweight and reusable system – constitutes a strategy for the installation’s primary structure which has an almost indefinite life cycle that can be repurposed in different locations.

FOUR ROUNDABOUTS HAVE NEVER LOOKED BETTER Dubai gives four roundabouts a makeover in line with Dubai Municipality’s ‘Art in Public Spaces’ strategy Dubai Municipality has given four prominent roundabouts in the city a makeover. Al Raqa roundabout, Nad Al Sheba roundabout, Nad Al Hamar roundabout, and Al Khawanej roundabout, have all undergone a significant transformation as part of the Emirate-wide Public Roundabout Beauty Project.

The Dubai Public Roundabout Beauty Project is a significant initiative aimed at enhancing the composition and visual aesthetics of Dubai and comes in line with the “Art in Public Spaces” strategy, designed to transform the Emirate into an open, universal, and accessible art demonstration, further solidifying its status as a global city with a rich cultural and artistic heritage. This project is one of the many projects undertaken by the Municipality to enhance the aesthetic and civilizational aspects of public spaces within the Emirate through innovative artistic designs that reflect the modern and urban essence of Dubai while harmonizing with its overall aesthetic.

The new design of Al-Warqa (leaf) Roundabout draws its inspiration from the area’s name, featuring a central structure adorned with intricate leaf bird design encircling the roundabout’s ring. This central structure stands at a height of 3.5 meters and has a thickness of 240 centimeters.

Similarly, the design of Nad Al-Hamar Roundabout is influenced by the area’s name and visually resembles rose petals reflecting the contours of the red dunes nearby.

This design, with heights ranging from 1.9 to 2.9 meters, evokes the beauty of Nad Al-Hamar Garden.

6

As for Nad Al-Sheba Roundabout, it takes its concept from the term NAD, symbolizing the elevated earthy hills in the region. The roundabout’s configuration mirrors the rhythmic patterns of ocean waves, with heights varying from 0.6 to 2.0 meters. Meanwhile, Al-Khawanej Roundabout derives its inspiration from the area’s name, associated with a freshwater well known as Al-Khawanej.

This 3-meter-tall roundabout showcases a farm inspired by the desert agricultural heritage of the local inhabitants, reflecting their essential trade and cultural practices.

The Municipality carried out agricultural activities within roundabouts, incorporating green spaces, Sesuvium, Pennisetum, bougainvillea, Ruellia, and seasonal flowers.

Dubai Municipality carries out beautification works for many facilities and objects, in addition to agricultural work for main streets and roads, beautifying neighborhoods’ roundabouts by combining artistic objects with decorative agricultural patterns, in line with one of its strategic axes, which focuses on enhancing the attractiveness of the emirate and providing integrated public facilities.

HYDROPONIC FARMING ON UAE CAMPUS A resource for food and education: IEEE SIGHT AUS Chapter launches hydroponic farming on campus American University of Sharjah (AUS) has launched a sustainable hydroponic farming project that enables students to explore advancements in agricultural technology and benefit from the farm’s nutritious food.

Called Harvesting Hope, the project was initiated by the AUS student chapter of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Special Interest Group on Humanitarian Technology (IEEE SIGHT) in collaboration with The Big Heart Educational Center in Sharjah —an educational institute that offer pro-active educational solutions aimed at empowering underserved students from a cross-section of nationalities in the UAE, by offering a first of a kind program which focuses on illiteracy.

8

“The significance of hydroponics lies in the ability to cultivate plants in nutrientrich water solutions, eliminating the need for soil. The establishment of hydroponic systems on the AUS campus enables workshops that educate students on optimal plant growth practices, covering topics such as system assembly, potential hydrogen testing, light-emitting diode and water pump configurations and nutrient solution management. The resulting produce will serve as both a hands-on learning tool and a source of fresh, nutritious vegetables, enhancing daily meals,” said Sara Walid, a senior mechanical engineering student, Chair of IEEE SIGHT and student project leader.

Having received funding from the IEEE Humanitarian Technologies Best Practices and Projects Committee, the project tracks its progress through regular assessments and engaging Kahoot quizzes, ensuring students at The Big Heart Educational Center grasp and apply the presented concepts effectively.

Harvesting Hope aligns with the UAE Net Zero by 2050 strategic initiative and is in line with the objectives of the upcoming COP28.

“Hydroponics maximize resource utilization, minimize environmental impact and potentially increase crop yields.

This innovative project not only aligns with our commitment to sustainable technology but also holds great significance in the upcoming COP28 UAE Conference. By fostering sustainable farming practices through hydroponics, we are contributing to the UAE’s efforts in addressing pressing environmental challenges and showcasing our nation’s dedication to a greener future,” said Safwan Khan, a senior electrical engineering student and former Chair and current Vice Chair of the IEEE SIGHT AUS Chapter.

The initiative was also driven by AUS students and SIGHT members Rana ElFakharany, Bana Sous and Omar Shaghnoubi, who played a pivotal role in the funding application process.

By bridging the gap between technology and agriculture, the IEEE SIGHT AUS Chapter aims to empower communities to take charge of their food production while reducing the strain on the planet’s resources.

NEW LOOK IN

QATAR Inside a luxury family villa with a private inner courtyard in the prestigious Al Mamoura District of Doha By: Rymar Studio

The First Specialised Landscape Magazine in the Middle East

In the capital of the Emirate of Qatar, not far from downtown Doha, in the prestigious Al Mamoura district, an elegant two-story villa was built by Russian architects using light beige travertine and matte black metal. The chosen location is attractive not only for its proximity to sports and cultural institutions such as the International Exhibition Center and Al Ferij Stadium, but also for its developed social infrastructure, including many international schools.

The new two-story family villa with a total area of 2,600 m2 became the third international project for architectural bureau RYMAR Studio and their first in the Middle East.

The project was designed by studio head Maxim Rymar and Alexey Shangin.

This exclusive residence is created in a unique spa retreat style and meets all the requirements of a modern businesswoman and mother of four children who dreamed of a unique space with a spa retreat, a home with a large inner courtyard, swimming pool and waterfall that would stand the test of time.

The client’s asked for a full redesign, to include a complete renovation of the villa’s facade while fully preserving the previously approved interior layout.

At the entrance to the luxury residence, guests are greeted by elegant chrome sculptures that pay homage to the work of renowned British contemporary artist Tony Cragg. These exquisite art objects immediately attune to a wave of refined aesthetics and philosophy of harmony.

11

I LUXURY LIVING

The ingenuity of the architectural solution lies in the harmonious combination of piers, protrusions and niches that fit perfectly into the environment. The house walls and fence seem to lose their visual mass, creating a sense of lightness and airiness.

They form a dynamic image of the house, full of interplay of light and shadow, adding lively charm to it. At the same time, the 3-meter deaf fence surrounding the house on all sides is a necessary security measure in Doha.

In the hall, huge panoramic windows from floor to ceiling open up to a stunning view of the pool and inner courtyard.

From the spacious hall through the gallery you can reach the luxurious living room and designer dining room.

The interiors of all premises are designed in light natural colors with the addition of stone and wood elements, which creates a sense of complete unity with the surrounding nature and natural harmony. The interior also features unique exclusive decorative items, paintings and expensive designer furniture from leading European designers. Each detail is carefully conceived and executed with incredible taste and style.

As for the exterior, the villa’s facades are designed in a contrasting style - large surfaces of light natural stone organically combine with black matte metal inserts. Thanks to the carefully calculated interplay of light and shadow, an illusion of visual lightness and dynamics is created, as if the facade obeys the natural rhythms and gusts of wind.

However, the undisputed gem of the entire architectural ensemble is the inner courtyard, secluded and inaccessible to curious eyes from the street and protected by a high fence from neighboring areas. From the windows of the hospitable living room opens a calming view of the pool with a waterfall. The courtyard itself blends beautifully with the modern interior of

12

the house, made in soft pink-yellow shades and furnished with furniture from well-known brands such as FlexForm, Minotti, and Miniforms.

Thanks to the large glazing, the boundary between the interior and exterior of the house is barely noticeable. A pool with automatic retractable covering for child safety is located in the center of the courtyard. The dark wood flooring has non-slip properties to prevent possible accidents. Sunlight, shadows from plants, the shimmer of water in the pool during the day and night lighting create a feeling of paradise right in the desert.

The First Specialised Landscape Magazine in the Middle East

The shaded part of the house has a spacious lounge area with a sofa set and a dining set from B&B Italia, while the sunny side of the site is decorated with an area with loungers. The main relaxation area is ideally located in the shade without shading the pool. On the second floor, next to the master bedroom, a cozy family terrace is created, with furniture in pastel grassy and pink tones. A special corridor for staff decorated with

metal gratings of varying widths allows the house to function continuously while remaining out of sight of the inhabitants.

The new villa organically fits into the surrounding landscape of the prestigious Al Mamoura district and is already considered one of the most striking examples of contemporary architecture in the emirate, attracting admiration from guests and passers-by.

I WATER FEATURES

Creating Captivating Urban Space Environments

The First Specialised Landscape Magazine in the Middle East

In today’s fast-paced urban environments, the importance of creating captivating public spaces cannot be overstated.

These spaces serve as a retreat from the hustle and bustle of city life, offering a tranquil oasis for people of all ages to unwind, connect, and foster a sense of community.

Among the various landscape design elements, water features are one of the most powerful tools to create a peaceful and calming atmosphere. This article explores how the artistic use of water can enhance public spaces, promote healthy communities and foster family-friendly environments with access for all.

Water has a timeless appeal, a natural element with a universal charm that transcends cultural boundaries and resonates with people from all walks of life. Throughout history,civilizations across the globe have revered water as a symbol of life, purity, and renewal. The allure of water is deeply ingrained in our collective psyche, making it a powerful tool for enhancing urban spaces and enriching the lives of city dwellers.

With their graceful arcs and dancing sprays, majestic fountains have adorned public squares and plazas for centuries. The sight of water gracefully shooting up into the air and cascading back down mesmerizes onlookers, captivating their senses and transporting them to a moment of tranquility amidst the urban chaos.

The rhythmic movement of water, whether from a grand fountain or a serene reflecting pool, creates a hypnotic effect that helps people unwind and escape momentarily from the stresses of daily life.

15

I WATER FEATURES

Urban life can be stressful, and access to serene environments is crucial for maintaining mental wellbeing. Water features, such as reflecting pools, ponds, or meandering streams, allow city dwellers to reconnect with nature, even amidst concrete landscapes. The calming effect of flowing water can reduce anxiety, improve mood, and positively impact mental health.

Creating captivating environments in public spaces benefits mental health and promotes physical well-being.

Families and individuals are more likely to engage in outdoor activities when they can access alluring spaces.

Water elements like interactive fountains or splash pads encourage physical activity, making public spaces more attractive for people of all ages.

Water features act as natural gathering points, attracting people from diverse backgrounds to come together. The

16

sights and sounds of the water create a tranquil setting that fosters conversation and social interaction. Public spaces with water elements become the backdrop for community events, family outings, and gatherings, promoting a sense of unity and belonging among residents.

The creation of captivating urban spaces should prioritize accessibility for all members of the community.

When incorporating water features, designers must consider inclusive design principles, ensuring that people with disabilities or mobility challenges can enjoy these spaces. Ramp access, textured paths, and adaptive play areas near water features contribute to a more inclusive and accommodating environment.

In bustling urban environments, water features provide individuals with spaces for introspection and meditation.

The gentle flow of water and the reflection of sunlight on

its surface create a serene atmosphere, allowing people to take a moment to breathe, de-stress, and find inner peace.

Beyond the functional and health benefits, the artistic use of water in public spaces elevates the aesthetic appeal.

Landscape architects and designers can use water to create captivating sculptures, light displays, and interactive installations. These artistic expressions add visual interest and serve as conversation starters, encouraging people to pause, appreciate, and contemplate.

The artistic use of water in public spaces inspires creativity among artists, photographers, and writers.

The interplay of light and water, the reflections, and the captivating forms become a source of inspiration, resulting in various states of artistic expression that celebrate the beauty of the urban landscape.

Water features serve as bridges that unite people from diverse backgrounds, fostering a sense of community and belonging amid urbanization. From familyfriendly spaces to venues for cultural celebrations and contemplative spots, these captivating water elements enrich urban life, promoting social interaction, physical well-being, and creative expression. As cities continue to evolve, prioritizing the artistic use of water in public spaces becomes essential in creating harmonious environments that nurture healthy, inclusive, and united communities

Collective social responsibility is inspiration behind design theme for German architectural firm TOPOTEK 1 at the Landscape Festival 2023 in Bergamo, Italy

By Topotek 1

The First Specialised Landscape Magazine in the Middle East

In recent years, the world has been confronted with crises that have left no one indifferent. Beyond the devastation left behind by the COVID-19 pandemic, a widespread increase in urban temperatures attributed to anthropogenic climate change has also resulted in an overwhelming number of deaths. However, a study published in 2023 indicates that if cities extend tree coverage by 30%, peak temperatures during heat waves could be reduced by up to half a degree Celsius.

On a case-by-case basis, this may seem like a minuscule endeavor, but climate change is perhaps even more of a social issue than it is scientific — it must be addressed through community participation and collective action.

That’s why Topotek 1’s proposal for the 2023 Landscape Festival held during September in Bergamo, this year’s cultural capital of Italy, is a physical and figurative framework for joint social efforts. The proposal demonstrates that, with incremental afforestation, there is potential for citizens to improve their shared urban climate.

The installation builds upon the festival’s motto “Grow Together” by inviting participants to also “Grow Green.” With an intention to underscore this potential, and to restore the sense of community and gathering partly lost during the pandemic, the intervention’s framework is elaborated on three levels: de-construction, activation, and growing green.

“Grow Together Grow Green” is built as a modular structure of scaffolding and is covered with seedlings of species that are typical to the region. The use of scaffolding – a lightweight and reusable system – constitutes a strategy for the installation’s primary structure which is not only easy to assemble and disassemble, but which

19

I LANDSCAPE FESTIVAL

also has an almost indefinite life cycle that can be repurposed in different locations. The replicable installation was first exhibited as a prototype at Milan’s Fuorisalone.

20

Similarly temporal, the seedlings will initially green the location but will gradually dissipate as visitors register to take with them for planting across the city. Registration establishes a sense of responsibility, as registrants are called upon to take care of the seedlings and to document the process via the event Instagram and website: from collection at the event to the final planting in one’s own garden or elsewhere in the municipality. The invitation to take the seedlings home and the intervention’s replicability generate an enduring performance rather than just a temporary installation.

As a vivid artistic space and at the same time a social tool, the project rethinks the way we relate to each other and influence our environment, emphasizing the potential of a communal process dependent on one’s individual actions: the possibility to grow together and grow green.

The outcome is an expansive intervention that can only be considered complete through broad and mindful social participation.

A highlight during the event will be the screening of “Homo Urbanus”, a series of 10 films by the artists and filmmakers Beka & Lemoine, who have been invited by Topotek 1 to further encourage the purpose of the installation as a stage for community gatherings.

Part of the 42-acre ‘live, work, play’ Battersea Power Station neighbourhood, the new 29,000 sq ft roof garden has been designed by James Corner of Field Operations, the visionary behind the New York High Line, and delivered

by LDA Design, the landscape architects and longstanding partners of Battersea Power Station.

Enjoying mesmerising views of Battersea Power Station’s iconic chimneys, as well as 360-degree views of the rest of London, the residential rooftop garden follows the unique undulations of Foster + Partners’ mixed-use building, and is planted with 23,000 plants and 55 trees, creating swathes of colour and delight.

Nestled inside the planting is a series of spaces for seating where neighbours can congregate and socialise including a generous “community dining table”, whilst wooden loungers are the perfect spot to soak up the sun.

The garden also features a grassed area for yoga and small events. Soft ambient lighting extends use into the evening hours and provides a unique feeling of discovery.

Perennial planting changes through the seasons, creating a vibrant, ever-changing backdrop to the neighbouring Power Station.

The green and yellow of Euphorbia sits next to tall, violet-blue spires of Perovskia adding structure and drama, whilst encouraging bees and butterflies. In May and June, light and dark purple Alliums stand proud, followed by clusters of sea holly and slender, long-flowering mauve Verbena, all set against a backdrop of green and gold grasses, including Deschampsia, Helicotrichon and Sesleria.

Battersea Roof Gardens features 436 studios, one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments, as well as a 164-room art’otel London Battersea Power Station, and two storeys of shops, restaurants, cafés and bars, forming one half of Electric Boulevard, a new pedestrianised high street. Within the Foster + Partners’ building is Koa at Electric Boulevard, the latest off-plan launch of 204 studio, one and two- bedroom apartments, and 50 Electric Boulevard, a new 200,000 sq ft office space.

Residents in Battersea Roof Gardens, Koa at Electric Boulevard and Gehry Partners’ Prospect Place, next to the Foster + Partners building, enjoy access to the newly unveiled roof gardens.

As well as the innovative green space, residents benefit from a unique 8,350 sq ft Sky Lounge positioned on the fourteenth and fifteenth floors with a sunset bar, workspaces, cinema room and lounge areas. A triple-height, 2,500 sq ft gym also offers inspiring views of the Power Station positioned on Electric Boulevard, a new pedestrianised high street.

“The aim was to create a thriving parkland walkway that provides spectacular views across the river and to the city. The gardens are a social space to walk, run, take a yoga class - or just relax and breathe - in a unique setting that is high above the city and set against the power station’s iconic chimneys.” said Grant Brooker, Head of Studio, Foster + Partners.

James Corner, Principal of James Corner Field Operations, which delivered the design of the roof garden, added: “We were initially drawn to the project because of the extraordinary context of the site – an elevated and large-scale roof garden looking out across the magnificent Power Station and its iconic chimneys, the River Thames and practically all of London as a 360-degree panorama. The key objective for the garden was for it to provide surprise, delight and provide a deeply visceral sense of immersive

24 24

nature, with comfortable spaces for seating, lounging, sunbathing, looking-out, exercise, yoga and eating. This beautiful rooftop garden provides is a scenographic sequence of garden experiences, a magical lookout, and an amazing set of diverse experiences.”

Benjamin Walker, director at LDA Design, the Executive Landscape Architects, and project lead, said: “Our ambition was to not only create a stunning retreat high above Battersea Power Station’s new public realm, but also a lush, resilient, nature-rich space that is designed to withstand hot dry summers and warmer wet winters. The gardens require minimal maintenance and a year since planting, are now thriving.”

These residential roof gardens are the latest piece of the 42-acre riverside neighbourhood to be unveiled, following the public opening of the Grade II* listed Power Station and Electric Boulevard, a new pedestrianised high street, in October 2022. Residents can enjoy over 100 shops, restaurants and bars now open across the riverside neighbourhood, located inside and around the newly opened Grade II* listed Power Station. Further openings are taking place throughout 2023, including the recently launched 24,000 sq ft Arcade Food Hall, which houses a 500-cover food hall, two bars, 13 different cuisines, three restaurants and a private dining room, all set in the buzzing atmosphere of the Power Station.

Social media has become the lighthouse pointing us in the direction of a better, more sustainable future for landscape architecture.

That may sound extreme, but its ability to spread videos like wildfire, inspire ideas, and make voices heard all across the world has changed our industry, like so many.

In the field of landscape architecture, visual storytelling is essential. My father, Prof.

Kamel O. Mahadin, FASLA, and I recognized the potential of social media early on. We began by sharing our portfolio of landscape architecture projects, design concepts, and the intricate details of our work. Instagram’s image-centric format allowed us to create a stunning visual narrative, drawing viewers into the world of landscape architecture. Through carefully selected posts, we conveyed the artistry, functionality, and sustainability of our projects.

As landscape architects based in one part of the world (Jordan), we were able to reach

27 27

I SUSTAINABLE FUTURE

a global audience through Instagram — our videos now regularly get views from over 70 different countries helping us to expand our work and influence.

Sketches for the Museum of the Future and Burj Al Arab in Dubai that were posted on Instagram after my latest trip to Dubai.

One of the most significant milestones for us as a company was when a twelve second video showcasing our freehand designing and sketching for the transformation of a residential space into a vibrant garden went viral, reaching one million views. This was all organic reach, and shows the power of social media in promoting landscape architecture and sustainable design in the Middle East to the rest of the world.

After that, we started to get messages and requests from all over the world to post more

28 28

freehand drawing videos and watercolors, showing that there is still nostalgia for freehand drawing and sketching by hand and a huge interest from our peers to know what we’re doing in this part of the world.

Overall, I believe social media serves as the fertile ground where the seeds of innovation and inspiration for landscape architects are sown in this constantly changing digital age. It’s a dynamic canvas where we translate fantasies into breathtaking visual realities, overcoming distances to communicate, educate, and work together with a world community of like-minded individuals. I urge everyone in our community of landscape architecture to embrace this world because it holds the limitless potential to foster our passion, support our creativity, and create a world where beauty and functionality coexist peacefully, all with the swipe of a screen.

Reshaping urban living and sustainability paradigms A new residential complex in Bangkok aims to set new standards in high-rise design through landscape architecture and innovative terrarium solutions.

By Redlandscape In the expanding urban landscape of Bangkok, Sierra Sathorn is a residential complex aiming to transform urban spaces into green oases that enhance residents’ well-being. The project targets biodiversity, efficient water management, and ecological well-being, fostering additional green spaces for a more sustainable urban future. Beyond mere development, Sierra Sathorn signifies a commitment to reshape urban living and sustainability paradigms, setting a global example for a greener, more vibrant future where urbanity and sustainability thrive together.

The project’s mission is to maximize its available space, nurturing green havens while fostering an intimate connection between residents and the natural environment within the constraints of urban living. It draws inspiration from the Earth’s

natural wonders—mountains, forests, and rivers—to craft a unique and transformative landscape design encapsulated within its terrariums: the Woodland, Montane, and Alpine.

The project also introduces an innovative design prototype based on the concept of an “urban terrarium,” seamlessly harmonizing financial viability with the fundamental requirements of human health and well-being. This concept extends beyond its immediate boundaries, envisioning a green sanctuary that will inspire and catalyze future developments along public transportation routes, creating a private sector-driven network of green spaces throughout the city. This transformative vision underscores Sierra Sathorn’s unwavering commitment to setting new industry standards and elevating the urban landscape to new heights.

coexistence of urban and natural environments. Innovative terrarium solutions are at the heart of Sierra Sathorn’s design logic, serving as microcosms of natural ecosystems that balance financial viability with the promotion of human health and well-being.

Furthermore, the project acknowledges the crucial role of ecosystems in urban sustainability, aiming to establish

31

I URBAN LIVING

a sustainable urban ecosystem within its boundaries, encompassing biodiversity conservation, efficient water management, and the use of natural processes to enhance the urban environment. Beyond its immediate confines, Sierra Sathorn views itself as a catalyst for change in urban development practices, setting new standards for high-rise design and emphasizing green networks to inspire future private sector developments. A resident-centric approach ensures that the project enhances the quality of life by offering immersive green experiences, interactive spaces, and a strong connection to nature. This design logic underpins Sierra Sathorn’s identity as a pioneering example of green and sustainable urban living, where urbanity and nature seamlessly coexist.

32

Design innovation Sierra Sathorn’s innovation transforms a conventional podium building, reimagining it as a terraced landscape from ground to the fifth podium floor. This visionary “push and pull” technique ingeniously integrates parking and green terraces, creating interactive green spaces that connect fragmented landscapes. Beyond aesthetics, this innovation serves a dual purpose, enhancing flood solutions by enabling rainwater infiltration and collection in porous landscape spaces. It reflects Sierra Sathorn’s commitment to holistic urban living, where innovation prioritizes both resident wellbeing and environmental sustainability.

The Woodland terrarium situated on the ground floor, the Woodland terrarium serves as a vital link between man-made

landscapes and the embracing arms of nature, evoking the lushness of tropical forests. It beckons residents to immerse themselves in vibrant activities. Upon arrival, a welcoming terrarium hall greets residents, providing a serene gateway to the main building. For those seeking a detour into a natural urban forest before reaching home, an enticing option awaits.

Alongside a verdant open lawn, multifunctional spaces inspire group activities and sports. Elevated walkways and secluded nooks beneath tree canopies provide serene respites. With layered plantings and carefully crafted landscape structures, noise and air pollution from the bustling main street recede.

From the central lawn, residents embark on an elevated Woodland trail, seamlessly integrating with the terraced landscape. Thoughtfully designed with wider landing spaces featuring cozy pocket seats, this trail encourages vibrant living and promotes healthy walking routines.

The Montane terrarium stands as a pivotal element within the green linkage, extending from the ground floor to the fifth podium floor, ingeniously transforming a conventional podium structure into a terraced paradise. This innovative outdoor trail ingeniously knits together fragmented landscapes into a vast green haven, celebrating a valley setting and nurturing biodiversity akin to a tropical mixed forest. Water, the lifeblood of

I URBAN LIVING

ecosystems, weaves its magic. On the fifth podium floor, the Montane terrarium unfurls, revealing a lush landscape, complete with a valley water source nestled amidst the mixed forest. A 100-meter natural pool takes center stage, inspired by the mesmerizing turquoise waters of hidden rivers that meander serenely over polished rocks, flowing beneath picturesque bridges. The design team masterfully balances the interplay of water dynamics and terrain to craft mesmerizing landscape spaces. Concealed passive pools, offering jacuzzi and cozy seating within the heart of the tropical jungle, beckon relaxation. A landmark pavilion graces the scene, providing residents with a social oasis at the Montane pool lounge, embraced by a luxurious garden. The overflow viewpoint extends the poolside resting platform while discreetly harboring hidden terrace retreats.

The Alpine terrarium artfully mirrors the pristine ecosystem of a forested mountain peak, with the water source concealed within the mountain’s crest.

The landscape team carefully selected hardy, lowmaintenance plant species to emulate the rugged beauty of Alpine forests. This terrarium unfolds as a dynamic

I RESILIENT CITY

The Chinese city of Hangzhou is hosting the 19th Asian Games this month but it’s the local residents will become the true winners, inheriting a greener, more resilient city

The First Specialised Landscape Magazine in the Middle East

New York based architects, Archi-Tectonics and !Melk designed the masterplan for the 19th Asian Games which run until October 8, 2023 — the Games had originally been scheduled for 2022 but were postponed for a year because of China’s Covid-19 policy. In collaboration with the LDI, ZIAD Hangzhou, the design was centered around a 116-acre [47-hectare] Eco park and 7 buildings, also design by Archi-Tectonics into a densely built skyscraper district of Hangzhou, one of China’s fastest-growing cities.

Though the park was commissioned for the Hangzhou Asian Games, the team looked beyond that event to set a new course for the city’s environmental future. Designed with a ‘Sponge-City’ landscape strategy, the

project introduces a hilly oasis programmed for round-the-year recreation that doubles as a green lung, restoring the local biome and strengthening its hydrology.

The project achieved “Green Building Evaluation Label 3 Star” (GBEL 3 Star), the highest level of sustainability in China and equivalent to LEED Platinum. The project saved substantial steel and overall costs through BIM optimization, shortening the construction time by over 20% to just three years.

The design inserts 7 new green buildings for the Games that will convert to community use after, with a mix of natural reserves, hiking paths, water features, playgrounds and landforms that double as sustainability infrastructure like restored wetlands, porous

pavement and stormwater management.

The Masterplan’s combined green roofs in the park cover 64,000 m2 and can absorb 114,846 kg of CO2/year and release 83,408 kg of O2/year.

During the Hangzhou Asian Games that are currently underway—the second-largest international athletics competition after the Olympics—the park will be the hub where spectators gather between events and move between the venues. Once the Games end, it will become a neighborhood green space programmed with a mix of activities— including kayaking, running, hiking, skateboarding, and sports fields—to cater

38

to the city’s entire population, from children and young professionals to the elderly. It is designed to plug into and strengthen Hangzhou’s existing fabric and infrastructure, bringing much-needed green space to the dense city and acting as an ‘urban sponge’ and a green lung that collects, filters, and reuses storm-water runoff.

“We designed the park as an agent of environmental change in the city,” says Winka Dubbeldam, Founding Partner of Archi-Tectonics. “It sets a new standard for Hangzhou as a greener, more resilient city.

Future urban masterplans will look to it as a model of sustainable density.”

Village Valley Mall The plan sites two game venues—the Field Hockey Stadium and the Hybrid Table Tennis Stadium—at either end of the mile-long site. The park is bisected by a road and river and a shopping ‘Valley Village’ concept was developed to act as a connector of the two halves of the park, creating a social artery.

The Valley Village Mall is conceived as a recessed green valley with circular glass shopping pavilions. Two parking garages flank the shopping area and connect underground for delivery access. Each of the buildings offers fire egress at grade.

“Originally, the entire mall was supposed to be underground,” says Winka Dubbeldam. “Instead, we made it into a shopping valley landscape with green pavilions, creating an open-air social core that feels connected to surrounding landscapes and city. We were challenged by the fact that only 15% of the project could be visible above ground, as 85% had to be park.”

The Village Valley Mall is lined with shops, restaurants, cafes, kiosks, and outdoor gathering areas, positioning it as the social core of the park. Permeable pavement minimizes storm-water runoff.

Each store pavilion is topped with green roofs that enhance water retention, extend the landscape, and offer places where visitors can relax, picnic, and take in the surroundings. Custom-designed Solar Wings shade the Valley Village while generating electricity and lighting for the park. They also push wind into the Village Valley to generate a comfortable micro-climate.

Zero-Earth Landscape Strategy Digging out the wetlands and the Valley Village to connect the 2 halves of the park made it possible to shape the previously flat site into a landscape of rolling hills that rise more than 20 meters above grade without bringing in additional soil, adhering to a ‘zero-

I RESILIENT CITY the games. The river forms a crucial part of the wetland systems, mitigating stormwater runoff and offsetting the impact of newly built areas. It also doubles as a kayaking route and creates a scenic element overlooked by the hills and the Village Valley Mall. Islands in the river generate a quicker current, naturally cleaning the water and oxygenating it.

Mobility in Chain [MIC] was hired to make this park as accessible and easy to navigate as possible. Escalators from the Valley Village create access from the deepest points of the shopping artery back to the bisecting road while elegantly curving pedestrian bridges traverse the hilly landscape to connect over the road & river. Several bridges cross the river to fluidly re-integrate the park into the surrounding neighbourhood’s infrastructure.

earth’ strategy to minimize the environmental impact of soil removal. Several new hills function as nature reserves, promoting biodiversity and ecological conservation.

Beneath the landscape, an interconnected network arraying 68,000 sm of parking spaces and passageways connects all the buildings and stadiums. The underground network offers efficient back-of-house services, deliveries, and access to all park areas without disrupting the natural landscape above. It also hosts a cinema, creating another leisure destination in the city.

Sponge City: Water Features for Recreation and Resilience The design implements the Sponge City model, incorporating extensive waterways that enhance hydrology and open new possibilities for recreational programming. An artificial river snakes through the site, passing over the Village Valley as an aqueduct beside a roadway that creates access for VIPs during
