serie architects have just sent images of their 'xian horticulture expo masterplan'
that was awarded a 2nd prize in xian china.
like the xian city wall, this new structure, named the 'five climates crossing'
will mark the centre of the park and simultaneously act as a connector,
linking the entrance square on the north, chang’an park in the middle
and the
viewing tower on the south. within the crossing, the green
house is arranged linearly
as five different episodes of climates
zones, allowing visitors to move sequentially
from one green house to
another whilst maintaining visual connection to the outside.
the history of the city of xian, in particular its city walls is the starting point for this project.
elements of the historical city and tradition of chinese city planning is still relevant
and compatible with a horticultural expo park.
a simple, clear and legible architectural structure can act as a powerful
organizational element for an expanded territory many times its scale.
