Visual Boundary

Nice day, windy. As we went through those parks along the river side, which have a geological boundary with the location of site, this teardrop park impressed me the most.

Although it is not far from the riverside, its design is purposing on separating the green space from the road. The topographic of the park that close to the road side is raised up which created a very smooth transition of road to a boundary and then to the green park space.
The view of road and the park is blocked by this raised up boundary to each other.


Furthermore, the artificial stone wall repeats the concept of visual boundary that separates the park into two equal-size spaces, gently separates the playground with the big green space.
I was surprised to know this stone wall is artificial that the skin of stone is glued in the concrete wall inside, which has the air circulation of the underground garage within it.


When I heard that the fountain of the wall will be frozen and forms an ice column that follows the water drop route, I really want to come back and check it out in winter!
