The landscape design of Lingang Youth Activity Center

"The Lingang Youth Activity Center is strategically located within the 2nd Ring Urban Park Belt of Shanghai Lingang. It is adjacent to public green spaces to the south, approximately 1km from Dishui Lake, and in close proximity to the China Maritime Museum. The site boasts superior landscape resources and rich cultural tourism amenities.

Positioned as an innovative youth activity space integrating technology, art, sports, and exhibition functions, the project aims to serve both local teenagers and young tourists visiting Lingang from across the country. Additionally, it will undertake planning exhibition functions to promote public participation and interaction in urban and rural planning."

Located in Shanghai Lingang New City, this project boasts premium landscape resources and landmark architecture. Its core concept is "Capturing the Happiness and Vitality of Youth through Diverse Spatial Pixels."

The landscape covers eight major zones, including a drop-off plaza and waterfront landscape, integrating diverse functions such as dynamic sports and leisure interaction. The design extracts the ripple elements of Dishui Lake and incorporates them into the sunken garden, while the roof garden serves dual purposes of viewing and relaxation to meet the needs of adaptability and participation.

Ecological paving materials such as ceramic permeable bricks are adopted, paired with rich vegetation including clustered Celtis sinensis and Osmanthus fragrans, to achieve a harmonious coexistence of greenery and hardscape. Traffic flows are clearly separated, with rational planning for pedestrian, vehicular, and fire-fighting routes. The vertical design features rich layers, ensuring convenient usage while creating an exclusive landscape space for teenagers that is both ecological and interactive.
