Beijing 2019 Intl. Flower Expo – Phase I, MP Competition

---

Have you ever wondered what happens when you combine planning, architecture, and landscape? While I was working on the planning for the Beijing 2019 International Flower Expo, I had the opportunity to explore this very question.
During the first phase, we worked on the overall planning of the expo and formed a cross-functional team with the Landscape department of CADG, and another Urban Design and Transportation Institute. Together, we created a stunning park that follows the river and evolves from natural farmland gardens to elaborate flower gardens as you move from west to east. The park’s eastern side is connected with the city and features two axes, each facing one of the famous mountain peaks that can be seen from the site.
The Eastern axis is the most urban one and holds the main structures of the park, including the five main pavilions and entrance gates, all designed to resemble flowers with elegant natural curves. As a Flower expo, we decided to group the main pavilions in a central core, freeing up the remaining space for plantations and botanical gardens.
Overall, the combination of planning, architecture, and landscape created a harmonious and visually stunning environment that truly showcased the beauty of flowers.
