Woo….f, metal scraps, a genial couple, before renovation, here was called “Afuhai” which I don’t know the meaning and why. From the project beginning, I went to the site once (two or three days) per week, kept thinking what it should be ~
Greenway, also can be named Platforms in Jiutou, which is the extend project of Tiantong old street Renovation, provides locals and tourists a new route with amazing scene connecting to Tiantong old street and Tiantong Temple. The overall length is around 4500 meters, along which there are three different platforms, Wind Tunnel、Eight Blessing and Xiangziyan. The Taibai tower can be seen from the three platforms, Taibai lake park can be seen from Eight Blessing。The distance from the starting point to Wind Tunnel and the distances between three platforms are all 1500 meters.

Now, here has a new artistic name “Wind tunnel”, sometimes it’s called “blowing”. There were a waste house and two big trees behind the house in existing site. When I stand in the site, can feel the living, new construction will be born by the site. Every time as see the two big trees surrounded by a hyperbolic spiral pavement, the disappeared scene is visible in a trance before my eyes, Yes, the two big trees keep standing there, grow up little bit.

The two big trees locate the highest level in the site, witnessing the changes of the site. Repeated deliberate the dimension¡¢the slop¡¢the rhythm¡¢the path, virtual wandering again and again to make sure the appropriate feeling.
