Blooming Rooftop
Shanghai | China
Having into consideration that the rooftop has been conceived as a Green Hill hosting amusement facilities for kids along the S-shaped walkway, 100 Architects has decided to enhance even more that duality between nature and kids
by taking a pseudo-childish approach of an oversized and surreal flower garden captured at its blooming time.
A series of eye-catching and colorful giant flowers are scattered throughout the rooftop garden
but also a functional program, a system of platforms hosting different recreational and entertainment functions underneath those flowers.
Besides the flowers as localized nodes of activity, the proposal also comprises the beautification of the planned sports field, as well as the modification of the materiality on one of the garden sides from the S-shaped walkway.
This way, the concept of duality between nature and the human race becomes actually visible and plausible throughout the entire proposal.
