Xia’men Garden Expo Sugar Cane Garden Landscape Design

Project Profile

Over time, the problems of traditional energy sources like petroleum and natural gas are becoming more severe every day. This type of energy is non-renewable, and it makes a huge impact on the environment. To solve the above problem is to use a new type of energy - biological energy. That means utilizing the debris of crops and organic fertilizer as the raw material to produce energy, which could make energy supply self-supporting on a local scale. Landscape could help make people understand why considering ecological problems such as these is important to the future of our human condition.
After a survey of the local conditions, we chose local materials to form our design elements, and then we represented it through the manner of modern landscape design. Based on the two main points above, the landscape design should not only consider the innovation in landscaping itself, but also should promote the innovative ecological concepts and techniques. Therefore sugarcane as a valuable indigenous crop is selected as the core of this design, which is through the design of the whole garden.

The design concept is: energy, indigenous plants, economical landscape, modern landscape method. The manner to realize the concept is various, the farmland, the artificial public gathering space, the indigenous plants, crops, water, even the human activities. The garden design finally composed all the elements of village life, and integrated them into one unit, and constituted the main body of the garden space. The approach contains many elements: garden view, recreational space, planting manner, lightning facilities, acoustic system. This creates multiple feelings, spatial, visual, touching, smelling, and acoustic aspects.

From sugarcane and a comprehensive analysis of the local conditions, we came to the basic concept of design. That is to take the idea of biological energy to design a modern local economical landscape with various level and elements.

From sugarcane, the special plant, and the comprehensive analysis to the local condition we summarized the basic concept of design. That is to take the biological energy and the center to design a characteristic modern local economical landscape.

The design concept is: energy, indigen, economical landscape, modern landscape method. The manner to realize the concept is various, the farmland, the artificial public gathering space, the indigenous plants, crops, water even the human activities.

The garden design finally composed all the elements of village life, and integrated them into one unit, and constituted the main body of the garden space. The approach to reach the concepts contains many elements: gardening viewing, recreational space, planting manner, lightning facilities, acoustic system. This created multiple feeling from spatial, visual, touching, smelling, and acoustic aspects.

The feature of this plan is formed based on the above design approach: the construction of rural garden space with various level and elements.
