Jinhua Architecture Park-Excellent but almost abandoned architectural park

Jinhua Architecture Park–Excellent but almost abandoned architectural park

Jinhua Architecture Park is a park in Jinhua, a city in central Zhejiang province in eastern China.^[1]

Jinhua Architecture park is located on the north bank of Yiwu River in Dongxiao Street, Jindong District, Jinhua City, Zhejiang Province, China, with a length of 2200 meters and an average width of 80 meters. The 17 small public buildings in the park were designed by 17 groups and 21 outstanding architects and artists from 7 countries (including China). Ai Weiwei presided over the landscape design of the park. [1]

The project began in 2002, construction began in June 2004, the park was initially completed and opened in February 2005, and on October 20, 2007, the park was officially opened. ^[1]

Unfortunately, as a costly, five-year park, it was nearly abandoned after its completion, and also as a city park, it did not serve as a good catalyst for the development of the neighborhood.

The park is built along the riverbank, so the whole site is long and narrow

There are a total of 16 buildings in the park, but since some of them are abandoned and poorly taken care of, I have deleted some of them from the records here

·Welcome Center–Till Schweizer

This is the building numbered 1 in the park

The Ancient Tree–Emanuel Christ/Christoph Gantenbein

The architecture throughout the park is quite creative, and this is one of the representatives.

·Exhibition Room–Tatiana Bilbao

As a building built in 2004, this design is not out of touch with our current situation and is very forward-looking.

·Playground–Herlach/Hartmann/Frommenwiler

·Tea House–Jiakun.Liu

·Comprehensive Space–Yung Ho Chang

·Cafe House–Wang Shu

This is one of the few functional buildings because inside it is a private tea room

The interior of the tea room is also very well maintained, and the space is well utilized. However, the bamboo building on the other side is not in use for the time being.
