常熟琴湖公园丨中国江苏丨GED格境建筑景观设计有限公司

项目背景 Project Background 常熟，因“岁得常稔”而得名，因“半山入郭，三湖簇拥”的山水形胜而秀立于江南。作为吴文化发祥地之一，它更是一座人文荟萃，以琴载道的历史名城。

Changshu, named for its fertile and prosperous lands, stands gracefully amidst Jiangnan’s scenic landscape, with “half of the mountain entering the city, three lakes embracing it.” As one of the birthplaces of Wu culture, Changshu is a historic city where cultural heritage thrives, with the qin (a traditional Chinese instrument) symbolizing its cultural essence.

琴湖公园作为常熟主城位置最中心、主城“三湖”中最后建设的关键板块，肩负着传承老城区中心发展、打造城市客厅的重任。琴湖公园旨在延续和整合场地山水肌理的基础上，打造一个集现代商业服务和文娱休闲于一体的城市自然生活综合体，为常熟创造一个现代都市生活的新地标。

Qin Lake Park, located in the heart of Changshu’s main urban area, is the final key project among the “Three Lakes” that make up the city’s landscape. The park is tasked with continuing the development of the old city center and serving as an urban living room. Its design aims to extend and integrate the natural texture of the surrounding landscape, creating a modern urban natural living complex that blends commercial services with cultural and recreational spaces—a new landmark for urban life in Changshu.

公园陆地面积约 30 公顷，水域面积约 60 公顷。设计以常熟的古琴文化为内核，以古代五音“宫商角徵羽”为设计线索，与公园五个主题分区相结合，构建“五音齐鸣、艺胆琴心”为理念的中央湖景公园。

The park covers 30 hectares of land and 60 hectares of water. Its design centers around the cultural theme of the ancient Chinese qin, using the pentatonic scale “Gong, Shang, Jiao, Zhi, Yu” (representing the five notes of traditional Chinese music) as the core concept. These notes are reflected in the park’s five thematic zones, forming the concept of a central lake park where “Five Tones in Harmony, Artistic Presentation with the Spirit of Guqin.”

核心特色 Key Features 1 山水格局的自然延续

Natural Continuation of the Landscape and Water System

常熟城中水网密布，“一河入城，七溪分流，并行如弦”是其特征写照。琴湖是常熟水网的重要节点，建成后的公园水系统串联起白茆塘在内的外部四道水系，并与虞山共同形成常熟主城中心的山水空间骨架。琴湖公园内部，原湖面一堤一岛的山水格局得以延续，并通过北侧飞虹桥为代表步行桥体系的拓展形成更加丰富的水陆互动格局。建设完成后的琴湖公园，与昆承湖、尚湖和虞山联动形成常熟主城成熟的“一山三湖”山水城市格局。

Changshu’s urban area is known for its intricate network of waterways. “A river enters the city, seven streams divide, and they run parallel like strings of a qin” aptly describes its layout. Qin Lake serves as a crucial node in this water network. The completed park’s water system links four external watercourses, including Baimao Pond, forming a central framework of water and mountains in conjunction with Yushan Mountain. Within Qin Lake Park, the original landscape pattern of a dyke and island on the lake is preserved and expanded, with pedestrian bridges like the iconic Rainbow Bridge on the northern side adding layers of water-land interaction. Once completed, Qin Lake Park, together with Kuncheng Lake, Shanghu Lake, and Yushan Mountain, will establish Changshu’s mature “one mountain, three lakes” urban landscape.

4 融于自然的多样生态

Diverse Ecology Integrated with Nature

自然生态驳岸、湿地植物系统和成片生态林带三大生态措施让琴湖的生境系统逐步完善，为琴湖带来多样化的栖息环境和物种群落。

Qin Lake Park’s ecological framework is enhanced by natural shoreline revetments, a wetland plant system, and extensive ecological forest belts. These three major ecological measures gradually improve the habitat system of Qin Lake, providing diverse environments for a wide range of species.

5 琴乐合鸣的文化再现

Cultural Reinterpretation Through Qin Music

设计从常熟的古琴文化出发，以古代五音“宫商角徵羽”为设计线索展开分区。在设计细节上，也将古琴要素和古代五音作为母题在场地中艺术再现。

Inspired by Changshu’s deep-rooted qin culture, the design adopts the ancient pentatonic system (Gong, Shang, Jiao, Zhi, Yu) as its thematic framework, with each note symbolically represented in different zones of the park. These elements are also echoed in design details, where motifs from the qin and the five tones are artistically reimagined throughout the space.
