Fold Mound - Shaoxing Mini Supernova Community Park

As an urban waterfront park, the site is a small greenland of 8,000 ㎡. It takes the river as the venation, blends the ecology, civilization and creativity of the Northern New Town, becoming an important clue of urban ecology and humanity. It's a park built by imagination. It will be a new space for new life, a new starting point for a new greenway and a new look for a new city.



The challenges we face for the site are:

1.How to connect it to its future. In this narrow and long field without large landform difference, it is important to arrange the entrance and exit space reasonably so as to make it spatially linked to the future and it is more meaningful to conceive a story and connect it to the future spiritually. The former requires cautious analysis, while the latter requires unconstrained but reasonable imagination.

2. How to create an attractive space.This site should firstly have an impressive theme to attract visitors, a space full of possibilities for interactions to make up the lack of greenspace in the neighborhoods.

3. How to balance the existing site resources while turning the site into a fun park within a tight budget.



A story is brought to the site to light up this green corner of the city. One day, a super-mini supernova, passing by the earth's magnetic field, accidentally slipped out of its orbit, pierced the atmosphere, and fell into a field. After a series of actions, the super mini star left indelible marks to the site then disappeared in sight. The traces left behind become various interesting forms and activity spaces. These spaces include：Rock Plaza, Hill Park, Galaxy Lawn, Stream Wonderland, Fold Mound. Obviously the story of this super mini star is a metaphor that implies how mini the site is as well as how important it meant to the future.



In a corner of the city, there is a park full of vitality with various possibilities.It is a public space that can spark creativity, allowing imagination to wonder freely among the greens.
