华中电厂位于深圳南山区华侨城片区北部。1989 年，时值深圳特区经济快速发展，为了缓解华侨城片区“停三开四”电力供应不足的局面，其以重油发电的方式为整个华侨城片区供电。2006 年因城市发展及环境保护需要正式“退休”。作为一座见证深圳飞速发展历史的工业遗存点及城市时代印迹，华中电厂记载了许多老华侨城人的生活记忆与集体精神。

The Huazhong Power Plant is located in the northern part of the Overseas Chinese Town area in Nanshan District, Shenzhen. In 1989, during the rapid economic development of the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone, the power supply in the Overseas Chinese Town area faced a shortage, leading to a situation of power supply for three days and blackout for four days. To alleviate this situation, the Huazhong Power Plant provided electricity to the entire Overseas Chinese Town area through heavy oil power generation. In 2006, it was officially retired due to urban development and environmental protection requirements. As an industrial relic and a testament to the rapid development of Shenzhen’s history, the Huazhong Power Plant holds the memories of many old residents of the Overseas Chinese Town and embodies the collective spirit of the era.

华中电厂改造项目和以往改造项目的进程并不相同。在项目接触伊始，园区的景观母题以及色彩基调都已确定。因此，如何在现有基底之上挖掘和再造场所精神，如何平衡场地环境限制与现实功能需求，如何与景观元素相互协调整合始终贯穿在整个改造设计工作中。

The process of the Huazhong Power Plant renovation project differs from previous renovation projects. At the beginning of the project, the theme and color scheme of the park’s landscape had already been determined. Therefore, throughout the entire redesign process, the focus was on how to excavate and recreate the spirit of the place on the existing foundation, how to balance the constraints of the site’s environment with the practical functional requirements, and how to coordinate and integrate with the landscape elements.
