Site Conditions and Challenges
The project was located on the Tanghe River, at the east urban fringe of Qinhuangdao City, Hebei Province, China. The site is a linear river corridor, with a total area of about 20 hectares.
The following site conditions offered both opportunities as well as challenges for the design of this site:
(1) Good Ecological Condition: The site was covered with lush and diverse native vegetation that provides diverse habitats for various species.
(2) Unkempt and Deserted: Located at the edge of a beach city, the site was a garbage dumping site with deserted slums and irrigation facilities such as ditches and water towers that were built for farming years ago.
(3)Potential safety and accessibility problems: distributed with lush shrubs and “messy” grasses, the site was virtually inaccessible and insecure for people to use.
(4) Use Demands: Along with the urban sprawl process, the site was sought after for recreational uses such as fishing, swimming and jogging by the people who came to reside in the newly developed communities nearby.
(5) Development Pressure: The lower reaches of this river have already been channeled, and this process was likely to happen again at the site, meaning the natural river corridor was likely to be replaced with hard pavement and ornamental flower beds unless the new red ribbon design was implemented.
