In the past two days, two 6-meter-high "ice hockey players" have played a "confrontation" on the south side of the Wukesong Ice Hockey Hall in Haidian District - this is currently the largest single volume of winter Olympic landscape sculpture landscape in China, and more than 20,000 pieces of 12 cubic meters of light wood blocks have been used.
The reporter saw at the scene that the two "ice hockey players" squeezed their shoulders, and the ice hockey clubs also came together to form an X-shape, although the entire body was a deep and shallow log color of the old wood block, but it was full of a feeling of strength.
This group of landscape sculptures is called "Struggle". Li Sheng, a designer at Beijing Garden Ancient Construction Design and Research Institute Co., Ltd., said that from this intention to the design finalization to completion, it took nearly 1 year, and the production process alone was more than 3 months.
"Next to the ice hockey hall, we want to take the intention of the hard-working ice hockey players as the main scene, reflecting the theme spirit of going to the future together and going to the Winter Olympics together." Li Sheng said that the choice of the form of expression of landscape art is because it maximizes the use of garden waste while enriching the urban landscape, and fully practices the concept of the Green Winter Olympics.
The sculpture looks rugged, but in fact, there is a "careful machine", such as the athlete's chest is deliberately used to use wood to build a bamboo knot, which means that the chest is full of bamboo.
In addition to the struggling "ice hockey players", the Haidian District Landscaping Bureau makes full use of garden waste when arranging the landscape of the Winter Olympics. For example, the colored coverings laid around the five pines in the main stadium, the surrounding areas of the First Olympic Stadium, and the third and fourth rings of the main liaison lines, the extension of Chang'an Avenue, Zhongguancun Avenue, and Zizhuyuan Road are processed from garden waste. In the white space of the grassland, a color block and ribbon are formed, with a total paving area of 13,700 square meters, and the winter Olympic element pattern is also placed at the node position, adding a bright color to Beijing in winter.
