D7 Chonqing Park
Martha Schwartz Partners (MSP) was commissioned in 2014 to develop a park that would complement a mix-used development in the city of Chongqing, one of the largest and densest cities in China, and well known for it steep topography. The leitmotiv for the proposal started as a two-dimensional organic paving in the building area, and changed its density and size the closer to the park. The pattern turned into a catalog of three-dimensional dispersed objects, resembling boulders, rocks and sculptures related to the mountainous landscapes surrounding Chongqing. In contrast, the rest of the park was intended to be kept as natural as possible, while complying with functional, circulation and hydrology logics. Walkable slopes and water runoffs were thoroughly studied and eventually influenced the design without altering its natural identity.
D7公园希望能为中国最大的城市之一重庆增添一个多用途的空间,这个城市因为它陡峭的地貌而闻名。设计的主旨是在大楼中引入一条二维的、有机的步行道,且会随着离公园的距离变化而改变密度和大小。图案逐渐变成一堆三维的分散物体,他们形似卵石、岩石、雕塑,和重庆周边的山景相呼应。与之形成对比的是,公园的剩余部分试图尽量保持自然,同时和功能、人流、水文逻辑想协调。缓坡和水流精心设计,最终在没有改变自身特质的情况下为这个设计增色。
