Water Pollution Issue: The discharge of industrial and domestic wastewater seriously impacts the quality of the river water.

Riverbank Environmental Issues: The riverbank areas are plagued by issues such as littering and illegal construction, which detract from the aesthetic appeal of the riverbank environment.

Ecological Issue: Due to urbanization and human activities, the ecosystem of the South Canal has suffered to some extent from disruption and decline.

"Commercial knots" are specific locations within a city or region where business and commercial activities are concentrated, often serving as major hubs for commerce and trade.

"Traffic Corridor"refers to the direction of movement on the main roads surrounding the site,with dark areas represent the concentration of people, while light circular areas represent the duration of people's stay.

River Management Issue: Non-uniform progress in the management of the areas around the river has led to an imbalance in the overall development of the river.

Green

Selected 16 points uniformly and randomly across the design site, conducted a line of sight analysis towards the South Canal from these points. Identified scenic views within the site, optimized the design

to maximize their utilization.

Determined the positions and heights of design elements based on landscape features such as buildings, vegetation, and water bodies within the site.

The entrances to the site should be conveniently located near major roads, have clear visibility, and be determined through an analysis of the surrounding roads and traffic conditions.

After determining the primary entrances to the site, functional roads are designed based on landscape axes, existing topography, water bodies, and other elements. Following the road design, various activity areas are planned accordingly.

Based on the course of the South Yunhe River and the conditions along both riverbanks, a landscape bridge spanning the entire design area is designed to meet people's touring needs.

Integrating the various design elements mentioned above, weaving them together, and gradually constructing an organic and impressive preliminary design plan that embodies comprehensiveness, creativity, and sustainability.

The photo illustrates the current state of the site, with a blue filter highlighting the pressing environmental and ecological issues that need urgent attention.

Choosing plants adapted to the northern climate and ecological conditions, including drought-tolerant and cold-resistant varieties, is essential for rooftop garden planting. When planting on the rooftop, attention should be paid to the size of the plants.

Opting for ground cover plants, herbaceous plants, and small shrubs is preferable. Through the combination of different layers, not only does it enhance aesthetic appeal, but it also contributes to shading and prevents soil erosion. Considering the rooftop's orientation and shading conditions, the plants' light requirements are also a crucial factor. Arrange plant positions sensibly to meet their specific lighting needs.

Surrounding Environment

The surrounding area of the site has abundant green spaces, including several large parks. The road network is relatively complex. The southeast side is closely adjacent to Taoxian Airport, leading to a significant volume of pedestrian traffic and the potential for traffic congestion.

Park Road Network

Key Land Use Taoxian Airport

Green Area

The surrounding road network is complex, and there are schools to the northwest. Therefore, during peak school hours, traffic congestion is prone to occur.

The site is located in Hunnan District, Shenyang City, Liaoning Province, adjacent to Taoshan Airport and serves as the terminus of Metro Line 4. The surrounding area features extensive farmland.

School Main Road

Traffic congestion at different time intervals

The traffic congestion around the site is mainly concentrated during two time periods: from 8 am to 10 am and from 6 pm to 8 pm. This is primarily due to residents commuting to and from work during these hours. Some residents work in the main urban area but live in the suburbs, leading to prolonged commuting times.

This phenomenon indicates a concentration and uneven distribution of traffic flow, posing a challenge to improving the commuting experience and alleviating road congestion. In future planning, considerations should be given to optimizing the transportation network, establishing express routes, and providing essential amenities to reduce commuting pressures in the vicinity, thereby creating a more livable urban environment.

mixed-use commercial residential

Design Concept: Located at the intersection of urban and rural areas and in close proximity to the bustling airport, our urban design takes innovative solutions to address the traffic issues as its starting point. We have created a multi-functional complex near the airport, integrating residential, commercial, and recreational park facilities, offering a one-stop convenient service for visitors coming to Shenyang.

By introducing an elevated bridge, cleverly connecting to the city's main arteries, we have effectively alleviated the pressure on road traffic. The extensive residential environment not only adds vitality to the city but also creates a unique buffer zone at the urban-rural interface, promoting sustainable development for urban-rural integration. This design aims to achieve the diversification of urban functions, enhance residents' quality of life, and foster harmonious integration between regions.

Land Analysis —Elevation

From a developmental perspective, the design takes into account the boundary between the city and farmland, as well as the significance of the nearby airport. By creating a multifunctional space at this intersection, the aim is to address the increasingly prominent issue of traffic congestion.

The construction of residential, commercial, and entertainment facilities near the airport is geared towards preparing for the gradual southern expansion of the city, creating a more livable and business-friendly urban environment.

The introduction of a significant residential environment enhances the living quality of the city, providing ample housing resources for population growth. Simultaneously, the establishment of a buffer zone at the urban-rural interface promotes the harmonious development of both urban and rural areas. In summary, this design philosophy offers a comprehensive and forward-looking solution for the city, taking into consideration both current and future needs.

Historical evolution

Site surroundings

The site is surrounded by diverse buildings and communities, located at the intersection of two large parks. To the east, there is a railway running through, creating a relatively clean and tidy overall environment. It combines the vibrancy of the city with tranquil memories, seamlessly integrating with urban life in a natural way. The atmosphere is filled with a sense of revival and hope.Drawing inspiration from the diverse and unique surrounding environment, the park design centers on the idea of blending urban vitality with historical memories.

Through a questionnaire survey conducted on 200 randomly selected respondents, we found that the primary purpose of the site is for entertainment. The surrounding area is predominantly residential, with an active railway to the southeast. Therefore, in the initial research and analysis phase of landscape design, it is crucial to take into account the entry and exit directions of the crowd. Additionally, it is essential to establish an effective tree buffer on the side facing the railway.

The design of the Tangshan Earthquake Memorial Park aims to seamlessly integrate historical memories with contemporary life, providing a space that combines leisure, entertainment, and cultural experiences. The inclusion of a repurposed industrial facility

transformed into an open-air exhibition hall serves as a testament to the changing times, preserving the traces of history. The proximity to the railway, woven into the design, adds a distinct historical character to the site.

To meet the daily recreational needs of the people, the design incorporates a sunken green space, creating an environment for relaxation. The introduction of tiered seating on terraced platforms not only provides areas for rest but also establishes an ideal spot for open-air film screenings. This design not only pays homage to history but also creates a multi-functional, culturally rich community park for urban residents.
