Introduction

Xiongan is a state-level new area in the Baoding area of Hebei, China. The construction of the area is described as part of the "millennium strategy", the national strategy, everything should be designed well before the real construction begins. “Rainwater Street” is a new kind of landscape with natural ecology. Vanke and Apbeth have been working together for more than three months. As an important landscape of the sponge city, “Rainwater Street” is the core sublimation of the concept and technology based on the sponge city cell body. It is an ecological landscape, architectural art, innovative technology, rainwater management, and enjoyment. In one, the park is extremely elastic and exerts natural “elasticity” to form an excellent ecological water system cycle.

Reason to Be Selected

“Rainwater Street” is a new kind of landscape with natural ecology. Vanke and Apbeth have been working together for more than three months. As an important landscape of the sponge city, “Rainwater Street” is the core sublimation of the concept and technology based on the sponge city cell body. It is an ecological landscape, architectural art, innovative technology, rainwater management, and enjoyment. In one, the park is extremely elastic and exerts natural “elasticity” to form an excellent ecological water system cycle.

Highlights:

The design team uses a low-impact development base system to guide the environmental connotation of the entire “rainwater neighborhood” project. Respect for nature, pursue low-input, low-maintenance, low-impact development concepts, focus on humanized natural experiences and interactive participation, and respect culture and regionality. Combine landscape and stormwater management to create a new landscape for the future.

Details

There is a certain difference and connection between the rainwater neighborhood and the rainwater garden. “Rainwater Neighborhood” is a type of landscape with ecological and cultural needs suitable for communities, parks and neighborhoods of the 10,000 to 100,000 square meters. As an upgraded version of “Rainwater Garden”, “Rainwater Street” is the landscape treatment of rainwater facilities, and it is the perfect upgrade and reconstruction of urban ecological organisms. The “sponge city” corresponds to a larger city scale. It is an integrated landscape type in the urban areas of hundreds of thousands, millions of square meters and above, and natural watersheds. It is necessary to focus on the complex problem of multi-disciplinary linkage.

There are five types of rainwater neighborhoods.

Rain Garden: The garden highly practices the guiding goal of the Sponge City, allowing low-impact development ideas to be integrated throughout the venue. Intrinsic triple-powered water system: visualized rainwater path under natural conditions, hydration simulation showing rain trails, fun cycle waterscape.

Garden for Exchanging: The garden has a sinking site that can store and discharge functions. There is also an overhead grille platform. The integration of landscape and local culture increases people's participation and interaction.

Balcony for Flower Border Experiment: The experimental field uses raised terraces to plant flowers and shrubs, providing a seat and a sense of surround, streamline, providing the necessary soil thickness for plant growth, and making it easy for people who love flowers to take pictures. Smell the flowers.

Color Terrace Garden: Colorful organic covering, effectively inhibiting the flying dust of bare soil, reducing green water consumption and reducing cost maintenance.

Exhibition Area of ​​Vanke Research Achievements: Self-developed ecological passive houses, fabricated buildings and other special products are located on the side of the neighborhood, naturally blending with the environment.

Conclusions

The target of this practice is to explore how to develop of Sponge City in the real world by following concept of sustainable development in landscape design. It expands the traditional single business value of the landscape into a multi-dimensional value combination, effectively solves the green technology required by the sponge city, and meets the green means of low-impact development, and becomes an important reference for the future construction of Xiong'an.
