China Radio Network Zhuhai July 12 news: three years later, Zhuhai Yeli island will stand up a new landmark Zhuhai opera house in the shape of "Moon Scallop". Its designer is Chen Keshi, Professor of Peking University and director of China urban design and research center. Yesterday, Professor Chen came to Zhuhai culture lecture hall to share with the public all aspects of urban planning experience. He lived in Europe for six years and in many countries in Southeast Asia. He smiled and said, "there is a vast coordinate system in my heart, and the landscape of many cities in the world can be found in this coordinate system". The speech entitled "creating value, European and American coastal urban design concept and Its Enlightenment to Zhuhai" brought a new modern urban design concept to the public.
Build a valuable City
Professor Chen said that the city is our real home. The city is not a ship. We can get to a place by buying a ticket. Each of us provides services, ideas and technology for this city. We should be the protagonist.
Vancouver has houses and grasslands, but there is no hard square. Apartments and houses are very unified. All gardens are designed by a Japanese landscape designer, and the elements of water are used very well. Zhuhai can be compared with Vancouver. The great value of the city lies in whether anyone wants to travel here, such as Hawaii and Bali. The ultimate goal of our city planning is to create today's Venice, today's Florence, today's Paris and today's London.
We should use the latest planning and design concepts, the latest means, the best technology and the most advanced methods to build our city into a most valuable city. After 30 years, let a French newlyweds choose to spend their honeymoon in Zhuhai instead of Paris. Zhuhai should have this ambition.
Urban design should be people-oriented
Professor Chen said that the urban scene is the living space. The first element to be considered in urban design should be people, not buildings or cars. Our current planning puts the cart before the horse. In evaluating the planning, we first evaluate the transportation, then the appearance of the building, and forget to evaluate people. No city can make people live calmly, make the elderly safe and children safe. We are like squirrels living in the park. When crossing the road, we look left and right. Now the car is very fierce and people are bullied by the car.
Zhuhai is a coastal city, and urban design should be "hydrophilic". The gold coast of some cities in Australia has done a good job in hydrophilicity. He once spent a whole day renting a boat to visit the villa area. The villa has different architectural styles, but each family has a small wharf, which brings the concept of hydrophilicity to the extreme.
Zhuhai opera house is more beautiful than Sydney Opera House
Sydney Opera House is very much like Zhuhai opera house. It is also built on the peninsula. Yeli island is larger than the peninsula where Sydney Opera House is located. The floor area of Zhuhai opera house is twice that of Sydney Opera House. Zhuhai opera house is taller and more beautiful than Sydney Opera House. The theater is 40 meters high and has a beautiful shape, and the super large film and television screen is also the largest in China.
In addition, Professor Chen also participated in the conceptual design of the central urban area in the west of Zhuhai. Because Jinwan water system is vertical and horizontal, his concept is to take water as the most important element. Every household has water and every household has water, which is very similar to the suburbs of Amsterdam.
The core of urban design is cultural concept
Professor Chen believes that the greatest value of a city lies in culture. An ancient Greek philosopher said that cities play an important role in morality, wisdom and nationality. Cities nurture people, culture and art. A city building is not a cold reinforced concrete, but a city building. It condenses the history, culture, regional characteristics and feelings of city people.
A consul in Athens, ancient Greece, said, "we want our city to be greater, better and more beautiful than those left by our ancestors.". This is a kind of ambition. He believes that Zhuhai should have such an ambition. He suggested that this paragraph be "placed" on lovers road or Zhuhai opera house.
The design concept of Zhuhai opera house comes from Venus
Reporter: what is the design concept of Zhuhai opera house?
Chen: there is a famous painting called the birth of Venus. Venus, the goddess of love and beauty, was born from a shell. In addition, the Moon Scallop is only unique to the Pearl River Delta, so we have the concept of Moon Scallop.
Q: it is said that Zhuhai opera house has only more than 1000 seats. Can you design more seats?
Chen: we chose 1600 seats for strict demonstration. The sound effect is the best in this position. If there are more than 1600 seats, the sound effect will be greatly reduced.
Reporter: what is the distinctive concept of Zhuhai opera house?
Chen: nine words: artistic, original and regional.
Reporter: do you want Zhuhai opera house to become a world-class work?
Chen: it would be a pity for a heavyweight opera house built with 1 billion yuan to become the first in the Pearl River Delta or China.
Reporter: when did you first come to Zhuhai? How do you feel about the city of Zhuhai?
Chen: in 1997, I came to Zhuhai for the first time. I often came later. I played at Cuihu golf course. It's very interesting. Zhuhai has changed a lot in the past ten years, but it has always put environmental protection in the first place, which is very rare. When many cities put GDP first, they lose the driving force of sustainable development.
Reporter: where else can Zhuhai circle points?
Chen: Yeli island is welcomed by the public because there is a forest there, and the ancient buildings in Tangjiawan are full of historical vicissitudes, and the ancient buildings in Huitong village are also very charming. The fineness of those "grinding bricks and matching seams" technology can be comparable to that of the Forbidden City, and the stones are also transported from other places, which are very thick. If I design to be in the same village, I will take leisure vacation as the starting point and design an ancient village style resort hotel, so that people can enjoy modern civilization in this ancient village.
Reporter: if you were asked to design Zhuhai, what would you design?
Chen: with the theme of "water", build a Modern Venice and make Zhuhai a green city with sustainable development. Zhuhai is a waterfront city, but now the concept of water has not been introduced into the urban area. If the feeling between water and people is designed, the city will be quiet, peaceful, romantic and charming.
Waterfront cities should be light colored
Reporter: what does a sustainable green city mean?
Chen: first, sustainable development, second, clean energy, third, perfect combination with modern lifestyle, and fourth, beautiful shape and landscape.
Reporter: what do you mean by urban form and landscape?
Chen: the form of many ancient towns in China is complete, but the form of modern cities is relatively chaotic. For example, the waterfront buildings should be light colored, but the waterfront buildings in Zhuhai are colorful, red, orange, yellow and green, which makes people feel uncoordinated.
Reporter: which cities in the world do you think have complete forms and landscapes?
Chen: the urban form of Venice is perfect. Paris pays great attention to the planning of new towns. This way of landscape planning in advance is very good.
Reporter: which cities in China do you think have complete forms and landscapes?
Chen: many traditional villages in China are very beautiful, such as Lijiang, Shangri La, Danba and other places. These areas have complete design ideas. Many cities in the Tang, song, Ming and Qing Dynasties in China were the most environmentally friendly and advanced green ecological cities in the world at that time. These design ideas can be seen from some ancient paintings.
