Forest Park

Thursday, 2 October 2025

Benjakitti

Benjakitti Park is located on the site of a disused tobacco factory in central Bangkok. The park's design incorporates wetland and forest ecosystems that deliver services including urban flood management, purification of polluted canal waters, and habitat for native plants and wildlife. The boardwalks and skywalks that crisscross the park are designed to immerse visitors in nature and to encourage them to reflect upon how humans and nature might live in harmony. The designers’ ambition is for the park to demonstrate the potential for nature-based approaches to urban sustainability.

Shenzhen Book Mall

Shenzhen Book Mall Bay Area Branch is a cultural building located in the centre of a large urban park. The building is half buried beneath a gently rising green space, so the park is preserved and more greenery remains visible. More than 74 percent of the floor area is placed underground, and open routes allow visitors to cross the park and to move freely between indoor and outdoor spaces. Functions include a book city, a folk museum, shops and a multi-functional hall. Green roofs and shading panels reduce energy use.

Zhejiang Pinghu

Zhejiang Pinghu is a sports center in Pinghu City, planned as a public park for exercise and leisure. The total site area is 146,204.13 square meters. The facade uses abstract forms drawn from traditional wooden structures and frames of the Jiangnan region. Local ginkgo trees, leaf textures and colors shape the landscape. An 800 meter air running track allows visitors to follow exercise data in real time. A cage basketball park, family fitness areas and courts for bocci and air volleyball serve all ages. The surfaces reduce slipping and the risk of injury.
