Text description provided by the architects
To the north, along the axis of Chongqing's expansion, Jinke Group built the Jimei Jiayue demonstration area in 2017, a ten-thousand-square-metre modern Chinese landscape at No. 8 Fengqi Road, Caijiagang, Beibei District. The project is a demonstration of how a traditional Chinese sensibility can be restaged as a contemporary, interactive urban object. Its centrepiece is a wind wall composed of more than twenty thousand mirrored metal panels, each ten by forty centimetres, hung in a regular but lively arrangement. As breezes pass through, the panels jump and collide, producing a clear, crystalline clink that turns the wall into a participatory acoustic instrument and a place for lingering. A single, solitary boat is set into the wall as a sculptural marker, positioned so that it reads against the city skyline and completes a quiet, almost painterly image of dwelling. The whole project pursues a modern Chinese style, compressing tradition and innovation into one spatial gesture: mirrored metal, urban scale and light interactivity replace literal architectural quotations, while the boat and the skyline retain a distinctly Chinese poetic register. Completed and opened in 2017, the scheme stands as one of the earlier wave of demonstration projects that treated ornamental landscape as a sensory, time-based experience rather than a static picture, and it remains a reference for how a developer's entry gate can be turned into a memorable civic atmosphere.
