ROOFTOP RESEARCH & DESIGN

REFERENCE PROJECTS – PATHS
1- Sunac Yunyang, Qidi Design Group
  • Quite and welcoming space in a busy urban setting.
  • Water paths; The presence of water was utilized to connect all six zones. To emphasize the importance of water in Danyang’s history, it flowed all the way along the route.
  • The path first leads into the office building, and then from one side it leads to a large landscaped area.
  • The waterscape features and S-shaped pathways make the design playful.
  • The terraces located on the platforms converge along the path.
2- Vitra Campus
  • Path connects the southern and northern sides of the campus.
  • The path distracts visitors from the buildings and instead focus the plants along the path.
  • Path boarded with plants provide different sensory experiences.
  • “I want people to lose themselves in the garden instead of just passing through it,” says Oudolf. Instead of a direct design that shows the end of the road, the architect aimed to keep the excitement high by guiding the visitor through a journey.
3- Where the River Runs, Penda Studio
  • Invite visitors to follow the path of an imaginary river as it winds its way through the landscape.
  • Entrance from three different points.
  • Natural, organic shapes
  • Through the path, visitors are also included by spreading out seeds and let garden grow.
4- Glassfields
  • Path designed around the central activity area.
  • Three path types:
    • Primary paths: main spine, connects the entrances to the central area.
    • Secondary path: it branches off from the main path, providing access to landscaped areas and seating zones. It consists of narrower, more organic shapes; this path, formed among plants, offers an exploratory experience.
    • Experiential path: it leads to the main center not directly, but in a playful and experiential way.
5- Carl Nielsens Allé
  • It is formed by the main path that circles the oasis and secondary paths that connect to this chain.
  • Circular, organic geometry
  • The entire area is explored in an experiential way, through climate-adaptive water management practices.
