Changdao One Demonstration Area

Golden A' Design Award Winner 2022

This aerial photograph presents a contemporary landscape design viewed from above, showing an expansive demonstration area where white curved pathways wind through green lawn and scattered trees. Beginning with orientation, the image captures approximately a sixty-degree downward view of a park-like setting dominated by flowing white ribbons of paved surface against rich green groundcover. The color palette divides clearly between the brilliant white of the main pathways, which feel bright and luminous like fresh snow or polished marble, and the deep greens of the lawn ranging from cool emerald to warm chartreuse where new growth appears. Scanning from the upper portion, mature deciduous trees with slender brown trunks and delicate bare branches create a loose canopy, while other specimens display fresh spring foliage in soft yellow-green tones. The central pathway curves in a generous S-shape from lower left toward upper right, its pristine white surface bordered by darker charcoal accent bands that add visual depth and sophistication. The texture of the white path appears smooth and uniform, suggesting polished concrete or stone, cool and hard underfoot, while the surrounding lawn reads as soft and yielding, the kind of grass that would feel springy and slightly damp beneath bare feet. Near the center, a sculptural white deer figure stands alert on the plaza, its form simplified and elegant, perhaps two feet tall, creating a focal point of gentle animation. Adjacent to this, an abstract white sculpture resembling a stylized leafless tree introduces vertical interest. Small warm-toned lights embedded along pathway edges suggest the soft glow of evening illumination. The overall atmosphere feels peaceful and inviting, suggesting fresh spring air with perhaps a slight coolness, the kind of space designed for contemplative walking and quiet gathering amid natural beauty.

The project is located on the lakeside, surrounded by gentle slopes, green areas and forests. However, the original site is long and narrow. After digging into the site characteristics and deeply discussing the situation, use the smooth curve to reverse the disadvantages of the space as an advantage, combined with the pure white wall to interpret the rich sensory experience under different turning spaces, and a dance journey into the depths of the canyon has started.
