Located in Guanshanhu District of Guiyang City, Longfor Origin is nearby an urban road, enjoying a fully-fledged fabulous transport network, rich educational resources and complete living facilities. The development boasts a 60,000 m2 shopping center which houses the first 3,000㎡ E-sports Club of Guiyang City. Therefore, with the theme of “E-sports”, the designers outline the scenes of future life. What is the future like? Most of the science fiction films tend to present the future world from a pessimistic perspective, which lack the description of future life. Thus acting against the eschatology, we hope to create an oasis for peaceful life. Green island float in the sky, going against the law of nature and bringing new feelings and strong self consciousness. The basic law of physics is similar to psychology which focuses on the emotions of human. What make up us are the numerous long-existing particles. Our body may disappear one day, but the consciousness will not. In a new environment, ancient plants will gradually come back to life, making everywhere green all year round. Buildings and humans are no longer the dominant powers of the city; on the contrary, plants will last longer than any ideology. Designed in semi-open style, a floating green island is created with a sculptural language, which transcends the modern visual experience and display a sense of the future; the open and attractive urban interface shows its public commercial function in the future. We design the island as a sculpture and display it to the outside world. At the same time, it separates the square from the garden, blurring the boundary and making the whole space open and integrated. Curved flower beds serve as a distinct urban interface; undulating curved lines attract people’s attention, making the entrance space more dynamic. we try to encourage visitors to think about their relationship with the world using particle fragments, thus maximizing the emotions hidden under the cold metal. The form of fragment is inspired by the mosaic in old electronic games, which is also a metaphor of today’s fragmented society. The terrace garden continues the flowing lines, connecting the past and the future in the changing light and shadows. Soft tree fern, miniature tree fern and tuber fern, which are living fossils witnessing the changes of the world, bloom in the future garden. While the Spinulose tree fern, hoenix roebelenii, Strelitzia reginae Aiton and bromeliad bring the garden a futuristic touch. In this fantastic garden, people will have a time travel to experience both the past and the future.
