When Liu Ligan and his team returned to Hangzhou, the entire design team of Jacques and their company had arrived. Their first task was to do the landscape design of the second phase of "Peach Blossom Land". This job is relatively simple, because the entire style and tone have been determined in the first phase, and the second phase is just an expansion and extension.

Just make the second and first phases perfectly connected together.

Jacques and the others’ most important task is to work with Jason and his team to bring out the overall plan of “City of Sky”.

The two teams have cooperated twice in the Genshanhe project and the first phase of "Peach Blossom Land". This is the third time, and relatively speaking, they have already had a lot of tacit understanding.

After moving around Zhuge, Xinye and Tancun, Jacques had a basic understanding and believed that the entire "City of the Sky" must have water as the core concept. "City of the Sky" is a real estate project. Houses are for people to buy and live in. You must take into account the special and delicate emotions of the Chinese people towards water.

When Jacques and Jason took out the entire planning and design drawings, Zhang Chen and Liu Ligan still felt that they were both expected and somewhat unexpected.

There is a lake in the "City of Sky", which is a big lake, but the lake is not in the center of the city, but in the northeast direction. Jacques and Liu Ligan and Zhang Chen said that this mainly requires consideration of the connection between the "City of Sky" and the mother city of Hangzhou. If it wants to develop in the future, this satellite town will definitely expand, and it will definitely go to the northeast, that is, the direction of Hangzhou.

Including the future urban expansion of Hangzhou, its subway or urban light rail will radiate here. In this way, many municipal functions of the entire "Sky City" must be brought close to this area in the northeast corner.

After the lake is northeast, it no longer leads the river into the city, but the original Xitang River and its tributary pass through this lake, which completely connects the original two rivers.

Taking advantage of the experience of Mishi River, the original Xitang River water must be filtered at the entrance of Xitang River. In addition to the Xitang River, there is another source of the entire town, including the water source of this lake, which is not visible on the map, but Jacques told them that there must exist, a stream flowing out of the mountain.

Jacques opened his sketchbook to show them. Liu Ligan and Zhang Chen saw that there was indeed a stream in his painting. Jacques said that he had traveled all the stream. The water volume of this stream is not small, and even during the dry season in winter, it will not stop flowing. We can use this stream, so that the water volume of the entire city and this lake will be abundant.

The lake is made into an irregular half-moon shape. There is an island in the middle of the lake, which is covered with green trees on the island. The library of the "City of the Sky" is located on this island. The lake water around the island is equivalent to becoming a natural barrier for schools and libraries.

There is a tree-lined road connected to the city, because it is impossible to have load-cart trucks on the island. There is also a greenway parallel to this tree-lined road, which is connected to the greenway around the island, and can be used by students for exercise.

Jacques told them that after he arrived in China, he found that Chinese people especially like to separate walls and build communities. In foreign countries, there is no concept of a community, but there is a concept of a town, but on a street in a town, the lawn and garden in front of everyone are also connected, and there are few walls in the middle.

"Actually, it's still a matter of habit." Tan Shuzhen said, "In our Peach Blossom Land, there is no wall, but no one who comes to buy a house will think that there is something wrong with this."

Zhang Chen smiled and said, "That's now. People just treat your place as a scenic spot. When you move in, you will see it again. Maybe many people will ask to separate the walls, at least the fence."

"Yes, when Zhang Chen moved in, Lao Zhang was the first to ask for a garden to plant vegetables for him." Liu Ligan smiled, "I will separate him from the only vegetable garden in the entire community in his current home of the 'Jinxiu Home'."

"Maybe it's still a lack of security. This concept is actually deeply rooted. You have forgotten that when we are studying, a desk must be divided into 38 tiers." Zhang Chen said, "Whenever the students don't draw 38 tiers on the desk, the wall in their hearts will be gone, and the walls in reality will probably become fewer and fewer."

"That's right. When it comes to walls, it's all about philosophy." Liu Ligan shouted.

Zhang Chen, Lao Tan and Tan Shuzhen laughed. Jacques didn't know what they were laughing at, but knew that what they were talking about must have something to do with the wall.

Jacques said that he respects this habit. People in every country and every region have their own habit of living. When we design, we must respect this habit instead of trying to change it. Change is difficult. This habit itself has been formed over a long period of time, and the reasons for its formation are also very complicated, so we can only respect it.

But he insisted that walls are the ugliest thing in the city, and as a city of future form, "Sky City" should have no walls inside.

There is no wall, but it also takes into account the habit of residents and citizens who like to separate walls and divide communities. What should I do?

He said that the roads that are as dense as those spider webs in Xinye Village gave him a good inspiration. We can use water to replace the walls, that is, use rivers and rivers throughout the city to separate communities and different functional areas. This not only avoids the emergence of walls, but also meets the needs of "walls".

Like this island, there is no wall between them and the library between them and the children's activities, but their safety is guaranteed because water protects them.

Zhang Chen and Liu Ligan also thought Jacques’ idea was good. Using water instead of the walls can not only separate different areas, but also create landscapes on both sides of the river, creating the feeling of concealing everywhere, living by the water, and choosing water to rest.

The idea of ​​concentrating libraries and schools on the island is wonderful. It seems that there is no management, but it is actually better security management. This is equivalent to concentrating the public security management of the three units at one point. As long as you strengthen management at the intersection on the island, it is enough.

Surrounding the half-moon-shaped lake, there is a circle of green belts and parks, including the lake. This place is the entire city garden of the "City of Sky". Jacques said that it is also the leisure center of the city, and this city has two centers.

On one side of the park, it transitions to a residential area. This residential area starts from the lakeside park to the eastern edge of "Sky City". It is mainly composed of terraced houses and small high-rise buildings. On the other side of the park are urban roads. The park here is also open-ended, making it convenient for residents on the other side of the road to come to the lake for a walk and play.

The half-moon part of Lakeside Park, which is the northeast corner of "Sky City", is the city's functional area, hospitals, gymnasiums, police stations, and "Sky City" management center, and the inter-district traffic connection center, all of which are here.

Opposite it, the half-moon-shaped concave part is an artificial wetland extending into the lake, and there is an artificial beach. In the back row, there is a concentration area for bars and catering.

To the southwest of the bar area is a street. Jacques proposed the concept of a pedestrian commercial street that was almost no in China at that time. This pedestrian commercial street is about 300 meters long, connecting with another center of Jacques' "City of the Sky" - the City Square.

Around the city square are department stores and shopping centers. From here to the southwest edge of "Sky City", the entire area is full of high-rise buildings.

The City Square is the commercial center of "City of Sky", which is connected with the leisure center by the lake by a pedestrian street.

With a population of 100,000, you can already form your own commercial center. Jacques and Zhang Chen and Liu Ligan said that in fact, it is in Hangzhou. If you observe, the radiation range of each shopping center is limited. It won’t take long. These shopping centers will definitely develop their own chain network in a city, otherwise their radiation capacity will not be achieved.

Another advantageous condition for the formation of the "Sky City" commercial center is that the nearby Liangzhu block, with a size of 30,000 to 40,000 people, cannot afford a large modern shopping center. Our shopping malls here can absorb a large part of their purchasing power and customer flow.

"City of Sky" is close to the foot of the mountain, and there is a sports area. The base of the mountain horse farm mentioned by Jacques is also built at the foot of the mountain, and there is also a small playground and sports field.

All the villas and a five-star hotel are built on the mountain. There are two five-star hotels in "City of Sky". This one on the mountain is a resort-type hotel and another business-type five-star hotel, next to the city square.

Jason and Zhang Chen and Liu Ligan said that according to Jacques' idea, the overall layout of "City of Sky" is soft and pleasant, but we think all the architectural designs inside must be modern and futuristic, which is different from all areas of Hangzhou now, giving people a refreshing feeling, thinking that this is the future feeling of Hangzhou.

All road construction, municipal facilities and transportation construction in the city must be forward-looking.

Jacques added that water is everywhere in this city. When you come out of every building, you can immediately see the river and find a place to rest by the river. Water is the soul of this city, but this is not a water city or a water town.

"It can also be said to be a water town, a modern water town." Jason added with a smile.

Zhang Chen particularly agreed with this point. What he was most worried about was that this "City of Sky" should not become a four-dimensional person.

From now on to the basic construction of "Sky City", it will take at least five years. This is a future city for future people to live in. Of course, you must have a forward-looking and sense of future, rather than a new community in Hangzhou or a replica of a certain area in Hangzhou.

If Liangzhu next door played the history card, they had to play a modern and futuristic card. Who said that there could not be a modern and futuristic town between the mountains and rivers of Jiangnan.
