“隐喻的花园”–位于曼谷中央商务区内,泰国华人坎贝尔(Thai CC)大厦俯瞰着一块绿地,这块绿地被蓝象烹饪学校和餐厅、一座文物建筑和车辆通道突出地一分为二。通过研究周围的环境和可用的空间,与该地块和中国古代公社建筑 “四合院 “有某种相似之处。传统的四合院内有一个中央庭院,每边都有房屋环绕,类似于景观区四面都有高耸的建筑和Surasak Skytrain车站的样子。

“Gardens of metaphors” – Located within the Central Business District of Bangkok, the Thai Chinese Camber (Thai CC) Tower overlooks a parcel of a green area which is prominently divided into two by the Blue Elephant Cooking School & Restaurant, a heritage building, and vehicular access. By studying the surroundings and space available, a certain similarity is shared with the site and the ancient Chinese communal architecture of “Siheyuan”. The traditional quadrangle compound houses a central courtyard which is surrounded by houses on each side, akin to how the landscape area is flanked by towering buildings and the Surasak Skytrain station on all four sides.

面向主干道的迎宾庭院象征着前花园,一个欢迎的入口,一个通往遗产建筑的大门,以及当你穿越到泰国CC塔时进一步延伸出来的主庭院。作为一个共享空间,院子是一个公共区域,”四合院 “的居民在这里聚集和社交。同样地,我们设想花园将成为一个青翠的焦点,为那些在附近工作或居住的人和乘坐天铁的乘客提供一个积极的刺激,使他们在视觉上得到休息。

The Welcoming Courtyard, facing the main road, symbolizes the front garden, a welcoming entrance, a gateway leading to the heritage building, and the Main Courtyard which extends further out as you traverse towards Thai CC Tower. As a shared space, the courtyard is a communal area, where the residents of “Siheyuan” gather and socialize. Likewise, we envision the gardens to be a verdant focal point, providing a positive stimulation to the mind by functioning as a visual retreat for those who work or live nearby and commuters aboard the Skytrain.

为了向中国文化致敬,根据空间规划,风水在设计方法中发挥了重要作用。水在风水思想中通常被认为是不可缺少的,特别是在房子前面的区域,然而,由于在公共空间有水景的限制,需要有水的非文字表现形式。我们思考了水如何作为一种媒介,促进并最终塑造景观的艺术。通过和谐的硬景观和软景观的构成,类似于中国的风景画,院子以泰国CC塔为背景,以山为背景。

Paying homage to Chinese culture, in line with space planning, Feng Shui plays a vital role in the design approach. Water is often seen as indispensable in Feng Shui ideology, especially for areas in the front of the house, however, due to limitations of having water features in public spaces, a non-literal manifestation of water is required. We pondered how water can act as a medium, facilitating and ultimately shaping the art of the landscape. With a harmonious composition of hardscape and softscape resembling a Chinese scenery painting, the courtyard is set against the Thai CC Tower as a mountainous backdrop.

通过简约的设计方法,水的形状被象征为平静水面上的雨滴。由修剪过的灌木、雕塑般的树木和混凝土路缘石组成的圆形涟漪可以在整个花园里流动。当夜幕降临时,隐藏在路缘石中的照明灯条散发出柔和的光芒,强调了精心布置的风水石,而宏伟的树木则沐浴在战略定位的上照灯下。

Through a minimalistic design approach, the shape of water was symbolized as raindrops on the surface of calm waters. Circular ripples consisting of manicured shrubs, sculptural trees, and concrete kerbs can be flowing throughout the garden. As night falls, lighting strips concealed within the kerbs exude a soft glow to emphasize the carefully placed Feng Shui stones as magnificent trees bask in strategically positioned uplighting.
