睿住天元设计｜生态焕新，筑牢湾区滨水城市韧性基底/阳江美的湿地公园

Under the vision of high-quality new urbanization where nature and humanity coalesce, this project redefines ecological vitality, cultural heritage, and urban dynamism through transformative landscape architecture. Yangjiang Midea Wetland Park emerges as a pioneering model for enhancing coastal urban resilience in the Greater Bay Area.

Nestled along Nalong Riverside in Yangdong District, Guangdong Province, the development embodies the concept of a "Hydro-Adaptive Composite Wetland Ecosystem". By harmonizing saline-freshwater ecosystems, regional cultural imprints, and modern urban aspirations, it crystallizes into a sanctuary of ecological rejuvenation and cultural immersion – a luminous exemplar of waterfront urban resilience in Southern China.

As a critical ecological corridor at the Beijin Harbor estuary, Nalong River's aquatic ecosystem exhibits remarkable complexity and vulnerability. Guided by the vision of "Three Years to Rejuvenate Waters, Five Years to Welcome Heron Colonies", this masterplan pioneers a three-dimensional resilience framework through Nature-based Solutions (NbS).

Mangrove Ecotone Resilience Belt

60,000㎡ of mangrove forests serve as coastal guardians at tidal interfaces. Acting as nature’s shock absorber, this intertidal buffer system dissipates wave energy, stabilizes sediments, and nurtures biodiversity, forging an ecological transition corridor where saline and freshwater realms converge.

Brackish-Water Sponge Technology Nexus

An integrated network of permeable pavements, rain garden cascades, and bio-floating islands orchestrates a six-phase stormwater cycle (infiltration-retention-storage-purification-reuse-drainage), delivering climate-resilient flood mitigation for coastal urban environments.

Guided by ecological integrity preservation principles, the design safeguards native Chinaberry groves through nature-led low-intervention restoration (NLIR) and micro-terrain sculpting strategies. By elevating natural processes as the cornerstone of landscape architecture, the project achieves holistic symbiosis between ecological conservation and cultural value enhancement.

Rooted in the study of Genius Loci and cultural landscape typology, the design manifests the thematic vision of "Dancing with Tides, Leaping through Estuarine Biomes". Through Sensorial Landscape strategies, we recontextualize intangible heritage into multisensory installations, crafting immersive spatial narratives that pulse with cultural resonance.

Folkways Plaza

20,000㎡ hybrid civic space interlaces Yangjiang's cultural motifs with wellness infrastructure, forging a "third living realm" where fitness pavilions, cultural amphitheaters, and community hubs coalesce into an urban tapestry pulsating with local identity.

Kite Kinetic Par

Celebrating the city's legacy as "Homeland of Kites", wind-responsive installations and hand-cranked interactives create a tripartite experiential network blending kinetic landscapes, cultural-academic exploration, and intergenerational play. Children awaken to aerodynamics through joyous experimentation with ancestral craftsmanship.

This park masterplan engineers a multi-dimensional urban ecosystem that transcends generic park paradigms. Through micro-terrain sculpting and biophilic scenario integration, it forges human-landscape interfaces imbued with Genius Loci – where nature-curated topography dialogues with community vitality.

Dual-Loop Greenway System: The Pulse of Urban Wellness

A 2.5km waterside cycling ribbon interweaves with 1.5km jogging trails, threading through eco-pavilions and curated viewing decks. This biophilic circulatory system activates the city's health matrix, transforming linear paths into an urban vitality network that breathes with communal energy.

Wetland Wisdom Network: Nature's Living Classroom

The "Hydro-Eco-Edutainment" triad integrates a hydrological observatory, mangrove nursery zones, and immersive field stations. Through experiential environmental pedagogy, it constructs a synergistic bridge between ecological stewardship and public enlightenment – where every ripple tells a scientific story, making wetlands the city's ultimate outdoor didactic landscape.

Edu-Tourism Catalyst: Industry-Urban Synergy

The Edu-Tourism Camp module seeds a hybrid "Education-Culture-Commerce" ecosystem. By developing STEAM-based curricula that attract sustained visitor flows, it ignites cascading activation effects across adjacent commercial clusters. This synergistic network of F&B, hospitality, and retail forms an economically resilient urban micro-core rooted in place-based innovation.

10,000㎡ age-inclusive activity matrix integrates youth soccer fields, senior wellness circuits, and children's sand-water play zones. Through organic integration of barrier-free facilities and smart interactive installations, it weaves a social tapestry where intergenerational dialogue flourishes – nurturing community cohesion through landscape-curated encounters.

As a pioneering urban ecological unit, this project embodies a trinity development philosophy: ecological restoration, cultural regeneration and functional innovation. Through mangrove rehabilitation that renews coastal ecological integrity, cultural memory reclamation that weaves urban identity, and hybrid programming that energizes public realms, it orchestrates a poetic symbiosis between natural processes and urban rhythms. Where tidal currents converse with city life, this living blueprint emerges as a luminous exemplar of ecological civilization – illuminating sustainable pathways for the Greater Bay Area's urban future.
