This scheme, submitted in joint venture with Office for Urbanism and NAK Design Group, won first place in the Yushanwan Dingshanhu District Planning Competition.
A theoretical urban "flux" is introduced along the central axis, based on the historical layout of the existing site context, connecting Qitoushan Majabing Historical Site to the peak of Ding Mountain. This flux generates a fragmented figure/ground within a highly structured Master Plan of the institutional campuses, pedestrian retail street and the Central Business District.
The flux, resonating with the dimension of time and leading from the heritage site through the CBD to the lake and mountain beyond, promotes fusion between urban elements and the natural environment. The flux line establishes a series of orchestrated moments and celebrations of the past, present and future as it courses its way through Yushanwan Dingshanhu.
