中国襄阳中华紫薇园旅游景区的大门设计.docx

COMPETITIONThe Gate Competition of the Myrtle Flower GardenXiangyang city, ChinaCollabarator: Christian PRECHT ( / )Our design for a gate to a flower garden in xiangyang re-desfines the concept of a gate?and thereby creates a new and unmistakenable icon on the horizon of the city.As a typology, the main function of a gate is a dividing one, separating the inside from?the outside. On the other hand, a gate is a connecting element, guiding people to a?certain point, where inside and outside get unified.Our design is not just about the link of the inside with the ouside, but also about the?connection of its visitors – the gate as a point of gathering, instead of a point of passing?through.The structure serves as a gate to the flower park of Xiangyang, a city famous?for its nature, tradition and writers. Our design shows a tribute to those.Inspired by the shape of the garden-flower, two blossoms of the myrtle define the gate,?honoring the beautiful landscape of the area.As the structure arches over, the bundle of bamboo on the outside create a majestic?volume of light in the in-between – space. This space not only serves the flower garden?as an entrance gate and gathering point for visitors, but also can be used as a?sheltered void which serves the community for concerts or lectures. From the outside,?the blossom-gate is a symbol for unity and harmony and for sure a desired?background for wedding pictures in the flower garden.?在国外工作很少有甲方的催图，平日工作没有太大的压力，没有太多的加班加点，工作也能在国家规定的每日工作时间内完成。所以业余时间，我与合作伙伴Christian?Precht会经常浏览并关注国内外相关的竞赛，遇到感兴趣的总会小试牛刀。最近我们参与了中国襄阳中华紫薇园旅游景区的大门设计竞赛，并获得了与其他4名参赛者入围第二轮方案的深化竞赛。在这个竞赛设计中我们重新定义了“门”这一单一概念，进而为中华紫薇园打造出一个城市新地标。大门的设计一方面往往沿袭了经典的大门设计形态准则，如内外空间的划分。另一方面，大门作为整个花园的主导部分，既具有引导作用，同时也是花园与喧闹城市间的一个缓冲区。而我们的设计，不仅仅只是内外空间上的孤立联系，同时以人为本，除了供人们通行穿越之外，亦可成为游人的集散场所，互动场合。中华紫薇园大门的部分设计灵感来源于襄阳这座古城的自然风貌以及人文历史，如传统书法；同时我们也吸收了紫薇花、叶的自然特征，值得一提的是，我们还对“紫薇花”这三个字的文字特征进行了解字结构的分析。这些特征逐步形成了中华紫薇园大门最后的结构形态。设计师因地制宜，采用生态竹子作为材料，真正做到生态人文，体现建筑与环境和谐共生的理念。同时，由于结构组合的形态，整座大门并不像是过去单一的建筑造型，沉浸在庄严肃穆的
