BOCUI TIANCHEN

Developed by Xi'an Kerun Real Estate in Weiyang District, at the southeast corner of Dongfeng Road and Beichen Avenue, the Jin Ke Bo Cui Tian Chen residential landscape was designed by Zhilan Landscape Design with contractor Chongqing Kaier Xinji. The project takes its cue from the ritual order of classical Chinese gardens, reinterpreting it through contemporary humanist care and the poetic atmosphere of Chang'an, the ancient capital of the Han and Tang dynasties. The title 'Twelve Hours of Bo Cui' evokes the well-known narrative of Chang'an across a day, and the landscape is organised as a sequence of seven named views that translate the civic dignity and seasonal poetry of the old capital into a modern residential setting. The design seeks to use the finest of traditional ritual space while washing away urban dust, returning a sense of Chang'an landscape to a contemporary neighbourhood.
