Practice (09) - Ramboll studio Dreiseitl

Image
 Ramboll studio Dreiseitl      Tianjin cultural park Tianjin is the one of the biggest 5 cities in China. Tianjin city is very near to the sea so, the water table of that selected location is very high. To reduce  the sea water coming inside the country side, the constructed water table has to be maintained in a proper level. In this case , Tianjin cultural park's water table was elevated to keep the safety of the people.  I observed, there are many lines running inside the park area. The lines reflect  pedestrian pathways. The dynamic pedestrian pathways increase the comfort level  of the people. This architectural landscape is reducing the extreme temperature by having a beautiful lake. Excess water will be saved in a huge tank by using subsurface pipelines during the rainy-days. Saved water will be used to the irrigation purposes during the summer days.

I personally loved with the design of  Ningbo Lakeside Mansion in China. The design of the mansion inspired by French gardens.  The centre part of the mansion created as a symmetrical view. Phase making and the proportions are helping to achieve the aim of  create a comfortable environment visually & functionally. The inner road networks are very impressive. The road network improves the connectivity from the mansion building to  the park area. The height and the width of the trees are limited in to certain values.

Practice (06) - Field operations

Image
  Field operations             The High Line - New York  A 1.45-mile railway track in Manhattan was transformed into a mixed-use public park in 2009. In my view, that was a great transformation. The elements of the parks are,  1. Walkways   2. Benches  3. Lounges  4. Perennials  5. Planting beds  6. Vegetation ( more than 1200 species )  This high-line park attracts more than 7 million people annually.  This high-line park helps to increase the visual impact and attract birds and insects to the park because of their biophilic designs.
