Who designed the ancient hanging gardens?

The designer of the ancient hanging garden in Shanghai is Thomas Hesswick, who is the designer of the British Pavilion (Seed Temple) of the Shanghai World Expo. In addition, the Shanghai Bund Financial Center, the main torch platform of London Olympic Games (204 copper petals), the landmark container of Hudson City Square in new york, and the learning center of Nanyang Technological University in Singapore are all masterpieces of this master.

201August 1 1, Shanghai, the unique "Babylonian" building on the Suzhou River, has recently completed the structural capping, and it is reported that it will open in the second half of 20 19. It is understood that in the "Babylonian" hanging garden that appeared in front of the citizens of Shencheng, the designer planned a number of wedge-shaped structures with different heights, with as many as 400 terraces overlapping each other. Upon completion, there will be 1 0,000 rows of platforms covered with plants, and on the other side of the building will be Binjiang Park covered with green plants.

Thomas Hesswick said in an interview: "In the original idea, the mountain garden was not put forward as a building, but as a part of nature. The prototype of the whole design is two mountains covered with green vegetation, so we filled it with nearly 1000 buildings. "

In order to make these 65,438+0,000 trees grow healthily, this hanging garden, which looks like Babylonian style, is equipped with an advanced modern planting system integrating tree fixation, automatic drip irrigation and rainwater sensing. Among them, the automatic drip irrigation system is easy to control the precise depth of water application, which not only saves water but also effectively moistens the soil near the roots of crops. It avoids many disadvantages such as soil erosion and hardening caused by traditional greening and water conservation.
