TERRACE WITH BAMBOO

“To give everyone an opportunity to participate in urban farming it is possible to create a development with man and nature in harmony”

The site will create a harmony between man and nature by creating a hub of knowledge about bamboo farming in an urban context. This hub will be a place for research about farming as well as the use of bamboo. Here, everyone can come visit to see and learn about sustainable city farming. The whole site will be engaged in the bamboo farming, but in different levels due to its existing context and opportunities. Different kinds of movement will connect and create important nodes. To strengthen these nodes as well as integrate the bamboo center into the whole site the bamboo will also emphasize this.

By connect and use the existing context the site will be well established in the city. Another existing important context is the river’s potential, a park for recreation and joy is built around the river to give access to it. Inside the site, different typologies will create different density and characters. To lead to the park the buildings will have terraces to keep green streets without creating too wide streets. The more narrow unit street will open up for meeting and the typical chinese street culture. This bamboo park and center will give character to the city, and to make this as a node from everywhere and not just only inside the site two taller buildings will act as strong visual nodes to lead the way to the bamboo!

The dimensions and rooms are created to give different opportunities to participate so we can create the harmony between man and nature.
