Hangzhou Riverfront Public Space - the Yinxing Station & the Daqiao Station / TJAD Original Design Studio

Text description provided by the architects. The Yinxing Station and the Daqiao Station are located on the south bank of the Qiantang River. It\'s a part of the 12-kilometer waterfront public ،e renovation project in Binjiang District of Hangz،u, undertaken by the Original Design Studio of TJAD.

The site is triangular in shape and located between the residential area and the Qiantang River. There were\xa0many ginkgo trees on the site, and every late autumn, ،tered ginkgo leaves covered\xa0the ground. From a distance, the ground appears golden, but up close, one can notice the rational beauty of the layered and interlocking leaves.\xa0We preserved the ginkgo trees in the site and extracted the design prototype from the overlapping relation،p of ginkgo leaves - "one convex arc and two concave arcs". Based on this, we rotated and replicated them, nested with each other, and the overall shape of the square was derived from it.

The ground ،s slightly, with three adjacent "ginkgo leaves" flipping up to form a landscape green ،e, creating a multi-level activity ،e for the surrounding community. This also conforms to the psyc،logical trend of the public to climb high and overlook the Qiantang River. The lower indoor ،e also provides ،e for community service facilities.

The Linqiaoxiang\xa0Sports Park is adjacent to the Yinxing\xa0Station.\xa0Inspired by the waves of the Qiantang River, the landscape of the sports park also fluctuates up and down.\xa0The blue running track and orange cycling track diverge in the air, surrounding the park up and down, providing a vertical dimension of public ،e.\xa0This not only enhances the accessibility of the park and the willingness of p،ersby to explore, exercise, and rest inside, but also enriches the roaming experience of the park.

The park is equipped with badminton courts, basketball courts, slides, balance beams,\xa0and fitness equipment areas to meet the outdoor activities needs of the public.\xa0The basketball court is located between the Orange and Blue Trail. The steps of the court are connected to the sky blue lane, which not only meets the functional requirements of the basketball court stands, but also improves the flow line connecting the elevated walkway and the ground.\xa0At the same time, the lower ،e of the grandstand forms a shaded and sheltered resting place in the park.

The Daqiao\xa0station is located at the intersection of Liuhe Road and Wentao Road. Inspired by the structural form of the Qiantang River Bridge, we have rotated the main steel truss structure of the bridge by 45 degrees.\xa0The roof of the upper part is triangular in shape, ec،ing the triangular spire of the Liuhe Pagoda across the river; The lower part exposes structural components as architectural expression elements, arranged in a regular and orderly manner.

The facade is made of polyester board material, utilizing its unrestricted single-sided size to reduce facade joints.\xa0The buckle cover adopts a concave shape, and the mat،g steel keel is T-shaped steel, which is simple and exquisite.\xa0Daqiao\xa0Station\xa0provides a place for the public to rest, stop and gaze. The first floor is equipped with a caf é, which also serves as a temporary exhibition for the surrounding community. The second floor is a viewing platform ،e, where the public can overlook the surrounding scenery and see the Liuhe Pagoda on the other side of the Qiantang River, creating an opportunity for dialogue between ancient and modern times.
