huayu by yue li from france

A city is an organic entity. It undertakes the life of human being.
Green, the color to a city is like the notes to a melody, glances through the beautiful miracle at a single moment when, dreams are turned to the reality.
Green, the color is like a ribbon, bridges metaphorically the city jungle in our metropolitan world, and the fantasy of human being in the primitive time.
More green elements should be brought into the city life, since nowadays the citizens in our metropolitan world believe that, to construct human values, not any more depends on the metal and the concrete, but rather, this process is subject to the power of green
My philosophy in HUAYU is to put the garden into the streets of a prosperous city, where the green ribbon is manifested in a linear manner. Citizens are able to feel the nature at any time while they walk. Its structure enables the planting of many types of herbs and woods. On the surface, there is a wave shaped design, which effectively prevents from being damaged by walking on it, hence protects the grasses.
Fusing the garden and the city, along with the space for leisure, makes this single entity apart form the traditional idea of a garden being possessed by a city, instead, it displays a city, being possessed by a garden.
