Vast urban park planned to reflect majesty of Suzhou's Lion Mountain
landscape architecture studio TLS will design a 74 acre urban park in the centre of Suzhou, China after winning an international design competition for the high-profile project.
The park will be designed around the existing Lion Mountain – named due to the lion-shaped geological formation at its peak – and a newly-created lake. The site is currently home to a run-down amusement park and small pond – described as “less than flattering” by TLS.
The architecture and design team are tasked with creating a beautiful and ecologically diverse park to complement the mountain landmark.
The amusement park will be replaced by a recreational boating programme around the new lake. A 2km circular promenade will lead visitors around the site through a changing landscape of cultural and natural scenes.
More information about the project is revealed in the video below:
