QIDI Design:”I love you with three points, not three points of flowing water and seven points of dust, but only three points of moonlight in the world. ” —–Qian Zhongshu “Fortress Besieged The design aims to seek innovation from the tradition, using traditional cultural symbols to interpret the new charm of the ancient city. Inheriting the wisdom of the ancients in gardening and using modern techniques, we will monopolize the bright moon upon the Yangzhou Ancient Canal to create “a bright moon garden”, recreating the traditional taste of life, and truly realizing the lifestyle of literati. Yueyin: Seeking Light and Shadow Space continues the shape of the building and presents the mist and rain of Jiangnan. The entrance gate building is oblong and narrow with flying eaves, echoing the image of traditional garden architecture in Yangzhou. The white walls on both sides contrast with the gradient perforated board. The landscape of the inner courtyard is looming, hazy, and romantic. The natural vitality of the green islands and black tallow forests contrasts with the artificial craftsmanship of mirror-surface stainless steel. Looking for the Moon – Moon Gallery The moonlight leads people into the Moon gallery. The gradient screen is like a slowly unfolding fan, telling stories of literati. The meandering corridors enrich the pedestrian experience. Lights pass through the grille and press dots on the wall. Tour: Following the Moon Following the light, the shadow is shining through the grids and the moonlight is like flowing water or a light gauze. The shadows of trees and people are hazy under the metal net. Space can capture the beauty of the four seasons, depicting the light and shadow trail. Listening to the tide: spring tide under the moon Turning around the corner, people can hear the sound of water and see the tide. The starlight and the moonlight fall from the sky. The starlight and the moonlight fall from the sky. The metal mesh of the scenery wall divides the space into two. The still water is compatible with the spring tide… Moon Observatory – Observatory Platform A bright moon rises on the sea. Flowers in the sky and moon in the water call back the memory of the song of Guangling. As time goes by, space brings back the scene of the rising sea and the bright moon. Bright moon, light, water, and installations blend and balance with each other. There are 24 scenes of 24 times. The water feature with springs is full of agility. Yaju – sleep on the pillow water and wait for the month People can enter the room and talk freely here. The shadow of the tree entering through the window and the light of water shinning make people get up and look for the moon and finally sleep along the water. 10
