Hong Kong Garden - 2019 Beijing International Horticultural Exposition

Описание: Designed by the Architectural Services Department, the Hong Kong Garden represents the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government’s (HKSAR) participation in the 2019 Beijing International Horticultural Exposition held in Beijing which is one of the major international events in China in 2019.
The Garden is approximately 2,000 sq.m in area. The theme of the Hong Kong Garden is the “City of Contrast”. The design of the Garden juxtaposes two contrasting conditions: the representation of a legible urban fabric and hyper dense condition in Hong Kong and its serene agricultural rural environment. The Hong Kong Garden is an experience inviting visitors to unveil the multi-facets of Hong Kong. It reflects the contrasting urban and rural images in the territory, examines the relationship between urban and agricultural rural and explores the aesthetic value of edible landscape.
The Hong Kong Garden has 3 major components: Architectural Pavilion, Artistic Feature Wall and Horticultural Garden.
Architectural Pavilion – The steel framed architectural feature expresses the hyper-dense urban environment. It creates an architectural visual effect where traditional neon light signage and vertical greenery interplay with each other. The façade facing the Horticultural Garden is in the form of overlaying of semi-transparent steel reinforcement meshes, symbolizing a transitional urban form that is universal in construction sites in Hong Kong. It represents a condition of urban transformation, a process of constant adaptation in our urban environment.
Artistic Feature Wall – The Artistic Feature Wall is a vertical map revealing the unique urban fabric along the transect of the Victoria Harbour with iconic buildings highlighted. It is an abstract expression of the figure ground plan to induce visitors’ curiosity to discover Hong Kong with many different angles.
Horticultural Garden – The Horticultural Garden features edible and medicinal planting species. It celebrates the aesthetic quality of edible landscape. The linear geometry of the Horticultural Garden evokes the form of agricultural strips and intends to create a sense of serenity and foster a contrast with the Architectural Pavilion.
