望亭·小筑——雨花落境| The Pavillion of Jade

中国南京，三桥湿地公园 | Nanjing, China 02/2022

望亭以雨花石为设计灵感，利用人体五感——视、听、嗅、味、触，营造了层次丰富的互动体验。通往雨花亭的步道两侧种植彩色芳香植物，通过视觉和嗅觉引导游人穿行在湿地野趣之间。入口广场上的枯山水砂石与湿地的水草形成干湿、动静的视觉差异。主体建筑为两块形态迥异的雨花石，一块状若飞来之石，作登高望远之用，一块低矮圆润呈入水之势，一虚一实，在形式上统一，在材质、功能等细节方面又有独特个性：登高石通透，游人可选择不同高度的观景平台休息远眺；观景石提供室内休憩、科研办公等功能。游人可在此深入研究和探索环境中的各种元素，通过俯瞰、坐躺、聆听、漫游、触摸感受等各种行为，参与建筑空间的塑造与时空对话。

The name of Huai Shi Ting is taken from Lao Tzu "The saint is adorned with jade". The pavilion was inspired by Yuhua Stone_ a kind of beautiful stone specially produced in Nanjing. The overall layout uses the five senses of the human body- seeing, hearing, touching, smelling and tasting, to create multiple interactive experiences. The main building is composed of two Yuhua stones with different shapes and materials. The climbing stone its outer skin is a perforated metal sheet, and visitors can choose viewing platforms of different heights to rest and overlook the Changjiang river. The viewing stone provides more functions such as rest, scientific research and office. Visitors can explore various elements in the environment through individual behaviours, to participate in the shaping of architectural space and the dialogue between time and space.
