The project based on comprehensive research and analysis of the site's current conditions and the surrounding user demographics, the design approach will be rooted in catering to the needs of the community. The objective is to leverage the site's renovation and transformation to address the scarcity of public facilities within the city and fulfill the diverse requirements for public spaces across all age groups. The intention is to create a shared space that is easily accessible for local residents to take leisurely strolls and unwind. Simultaneously, it will serve as a comfortable resting spot for parents of students, offering a place to relax while waiting. Additionally, the design aims to establish an interactive gaming haven where children can engage freely in play. To magnify the distinctive advantages of high-tech innovation and comprehensively enhance our capacity to drive the advancement of high-quality science and technology education, the theme of the park revolves around "Quantum Science". Complex and abstract scientific concepts such as "Atomic Nucleus", "Electron", and "Solar System" are distilled into a succinct design language, giving rise to more vivid and engaging representations through regional divisions, patterns, and other engaging depictions. Simultaneously, the design employs elemental circles to outline the plane, establishing configurations of enclosure, diffusion, and interplay, thereby laying the foundation for the unfolding of spatial narratives.Centered around the core landscape feature, a circular trajectory is designed to draw attention towards the center, and this design concept gives rise to a series of layered landscape boundaries. This results in a three-tiered spatial structure consisting of outer, middle, and inner zones, each catering to the functional needs of public seating, plant communities, and interactive amenities, respectively.The trajectory from the inner to the outer zones defines a macroscopic pathway of quantum science, linking together nature, science, and culture.In this corner of the street, it carries not only the outdoor activities and joyful voices of children but also symbolizes the essence of a city's warmth and people's aspirations for a better life.
