The Western district, once the center of Zhengzhou, has too much pride and glory, has a deep cultural heritage. And the revival of the land that the people from the western suburbs look forward to is also the future of the city. Site Situation and Thinking On such land, the park is precious. At the corner of the street is a 6,000 square feet Yinghe Park, which lacks the vibrancy and engagement that the urban public spaces deserve. Thinking: Scarce urban parkland needs to carry more missions. How to activate the participation of urban public space and bring an active space for participation to the citizens around? Combined with the idea of the park city, Boulevard creates a cross-shaped pedestrian plaza, and combines with the street corner park, street square, Ginkgo Avenue, kindergarten and other facilities to build a perfect "cross-block" living system. Yinghe Park will be made into a forest-life space in the city, highlighting the mountain forest, flowing river concept.

The design abandons the traditional monotony of space, instead create a multi-dimensional sense of spatial experience, to restore the dream of the people in the Central Plain region. One hillside with one comprehensive and inclusive site treatment, leads to the creation of three-dimensional nothingness. Stream Theater The park not only serves as a sightseeing area and a public area for people to rest and play, it is also a stage for our lives, an incubator for our dreams, and a carrier of art... A departure from the functional design in past, the design uses three-dimensional compound activity space, consider the inclusion of the needs of different scenarios— users in different ages or activities in different time periods, to promote inclusive, shared, universal activities. So that, it solves the function restrictive of land perfection, allowing more people to participate in it. And it develops the new interactive activity, finally establishes the harmonious community.
