Chengdu Investment · Times Park Tianfuxu Demonstration Zone

The Times Park Tianfu Xu demonstration zone in Chengdu's Tianfu New Area is conceived as a contemporary park where urban residents can reconnect with nature, a need that has intensified in the post-pandemic era. The project sits within the Renzi Green Corridor, a chain of linked oases that connects people with comfortable walking and daily life. The design seeks to evoke a relaxed park atmosphere through random, angled forms that interlock terraces, lawns, water, woods and paths. Wild planting and humble materials create the feeling of walking through a misty forest in search of one's reflection. The entry pavilion uses wood finishes on ceiling, walls and floor, accented by natural boulders and swings that quickly transport visitors from the city to a natural, unadorned atmosphere. The folded-mountain forest draws on Chengdu's traditional culture, with topography and planting interlocking like an unfolded folding fan. The water-light canyon is enclosed by multi-faceted walls that create an intimate, gorge-like focus, while scattered mirror installations of various shapes reflect the forest, sky and earth, revealing nature from multiple angles. Beyond the valley, a secret garden opens up; standing on the elevated terrace, dappled light through leaves looks back over the forest and the distant city, achieving the ideal dwelling the project pursues. The design explores how post-pandemic life has redefined our relationship with nature and outdoor space, treating the park not as a decorative backdrop but as an extension of daily living.
