Walking out of Changshu Road subway station, you will find that in the intersection of the surrounding reinforced concrete buildings and asphalt roads, a touch of red and green grass and trees stand in the traffic. From a distance, it is an emerald tree and a flaming red maple, and the collision of colors seems incompatible with the gray of the city; Up close, it is made of mosaic bricks and gravel to create a flower island, according to which the beauty of vegetation blooms.
This strong natural color of red and green comes from the Changshu Garden next to the subway station. Changshu Garden Pocket Park covers an area of about 1,240 square meters, and if you look down on it, the garden looks like a colorful "island" against the background of the surrounding cold gray road. This "island" touches people with its natural colors, making people slow down and stop by this scenery.
In terms of design, Changshu Garden is ingenious, when the oriental landscaping meets the art deco style of modern art, the beauty of the garden is a carefully carved artistic beauty.
During the renovation of Changshu Garden, the overall layout was adjusted, and the topography of the green space was three-dimensional, making the green space an accessible space for viewing. The reporter learned that the design style of the garden combines the architectural style of the Huaihai Building and the façade of Ruihua Apartment, and maintains a stylistic consistency with the surrounding buildings. The garden extracts the mosaics of the interior decoration of the building, as well as elements such as ink stones and abstract clouds, and adds them to the green space on the street corner, forming a new streamlined mosaic wall and terrazzo floor.
In terms of plant selection, the garden retains the original horse coat trees and some maple trees and other colored leaf trees on the site, and prunes them as a whole, so that the street surface of the Huaihai Building can be better displayed. In addition, begonia, feather maple and other colored leaf tree species have been re-added. The ground cover shrubs also match the flowers according to the upper plants, and arrange the sunny flower field, the yin flower field and the island-style flower mirror according to the lighting conditions, giving this green space new vitality.
Mr. Zheng, who lives near the Changshu Road subway station, told reporters that for office workers, Changshu Garden is his favorite scenery along the way when commuting, "I usually go to work at two o'clock and one line, squeeze the subway, cross the road, very monotonous, but every day when commuting to work, I can see red and green in the garden, I feel very beautiful and vibrant, and I especially like this natural landscape." ”
In recent years, Shencheng has attached great importance to the ecological construction of "beautiful Shanghai", and in the hurried pace of the city, the pocket parks rich in color "thrive". The natural greenery is the most powerful and beautiful, and Changshu Garden skillfully blends tree red maple with modern art style, cultivating a slow-paced beauty based on tolerance and diversity in the fast-paced city life.
