▽将禅的美学意境融入景观与生活

| 设计理念 |

示范区依循宋代禅宗大师青原行思所著《三重境界》：“看山是山，看山不是山，看山还是山”的禅学思想。以诗入画，将禅意渗透于一路闻声游山寻禅的自然景色之中，随着景色的深入探索，让人在游走过程中，感受心境于空间之变换。

Design Concept

The demonstration area draws inspiration from the Zen Buddhist philosophy of Qingyuan Xingsi’s three realms: ‘Seeing mountains as mountains, seeing mountains not as mountains, seeing mountains again as mountains.’ It employs poetry to create painted scenes, infusing the natural landscape – a journey of listening to sounds, wandering mountains, and seeking Zen – with Zen spirit. As the scenery is explored more deeply, visitors can feel their state of mind shifting in harmony with the changing space.

▽人在景中走

引入东方禅意美学理念的：“素、简、美”，结合禅宗“物我合一”的思想，将禅的美学意境融入景观与生活，探寻禅与水、松、石、亭的无限延伸。听风入松，坐石观水，静纳天地。回归自然本真，展现不饰雕琢之美。

Drawing upon the Eastern Zen aesthetic of ‘simplicity, plainness, and beauty,’ and embracing the Zen Buddhist principle of ‘unity of self and things,’ the project integrates the artistic essence of Zen into the landscape and daily life. It explores the boundless interplay of Zen with water, pines, stones, and pavilions – listening to the wind whisper through the pines, sitting on stones to contemplate the water, and quietly embracing the universe. This approach returns to the authentic nature of things, revealing a beauty that is unadorned and artless.

▽项目鸟瞰

壹 | 一卷山门

大门尺度宽62米，高5米，采用石材、金属屋顶与实木格栅来增强视觉的厚重感和层次感。顶部用了中国建筑的榫卯结构和官式冠冕，远看像是一本打开的书。

I | Unfolding Mountain Gate

The main gate, spanning 62 meters wide and 5 meters high, utilizes stone, a metal roof, and solid wood screens to amplify its visual weight and create layered depth. The structure’s crown incorporates traditional Chinese mortise-and-tenon joinery and formal architectural elements, giving it the appearance of an open scroll from a distance.

▽入口空间

大门中央借鉴中式园林框景手法，以半透金属网帘为画布，两侧灰色的拼贴石墙为框，摇曳的朦胧光影植色为墨，描绘一副诗意山水画卷。

At the gate’s center, borrowing from the framing techniques of classical Chinese gardens, a semi-transparent metal mesh curtain serves as canvas, framed by textured gray stone walls on either side. The play of swaying, ethereal light and shadow, together with carefully chosen plantings, provides the ink, creating a poetic landscape painting.

地面铺砖转折处融入“万字纹”细节，体现传统意蕴。入口水景左侧点缀一棵造型罗汉松，中央设乌篷船状黑山石，演绎小桥流水般江南诗意雅韵。池底以片岩拼贴出锦鲤图案，好似随一脉水系潺潺流淌，穿桥而过，流入后庭。

The paving incorporates subtle wan (swastika) motif details at transitions, echoing traditional symbolism. To the left of the entrance water feature, a carefully sculpted Buddhist pine adds a touch of elegance. A black mountain stone, shaped like a traditional black-awning boat, is centrally positioned, evoking the refined Jiangnan aesthetic of bridges over flowing streams. Slate fragments mosaic the pool floor with a koi carp pattern, as if the fish are swimming along a gentle current, passing beneath the bridge and flowing into the rear courtyard.

贰 | 一方游廊

一侧影影绰绰，一侧莽莽苍苍。

起伏的地被模拟自然山川形态，借写意手法传达山川气韵，在舒展的乌桕点染下，营造出森奢秘境的场域感。远处的黑松旁逸斜出，苍翠遒劲；右侧山石矗立,泉水叮咚。一动一静，相互映衬，互成景致。

II | Wandering the Veranda

On one side, flickering shadows play; on the other, an unbounded expanse of verdant growth.

Undulating groundcover evokes the contours of natural landscapes, conveying their spirit through expressive, freehand design. Accented by the graceful form of Chinese tallow trees, the space cultivates an atmosphere of luxurious mystery. In the distance, a black pine extends its branches laterally, its foliage a lush and vibrant green. To the right, rugged rocks rise, accompanied by the gentle murmur of spring water. Movement and stillness interplay, each enhancing the beauty of the other.

▽自然游廊

地面使用不同规格大小深山花岗岩自然拼贴组合，花岗岩交接处镶嵌铜质金属鱼纹榫卯，局部铺阴刻海浪云纹图样，渲染精致与璞拙的极致美学对比。

The paving features a natural collage of deep mountain granite in varying sizes and specifications. Copper fish-motif tenon joints are inlaid at the granite intersections, while select areas are engraved with stylized sea wave and cloud patterns, emphasizing the exquisite contrast between refinement and rustic simplicity.

叁 | 一步闲庭

“观水通禅意，闻香去染心。”

水庭摒弃了古典园林的繁复厚重感，换之以开阔的水面。坐望天空垂水，青林掩映，感受时间变换、光影流转。

III | Tranquil Courtyard Stroll

‘Contemplating water unlocks Zen insight; inhaling fragrance purifies the spirit.’
The water courtyard eschews the intricate density of classical gardens, embracing instead an expansive plane of water. Seated, one can observe the sky reflected in the water’s surface, framed by verdant trees, and perceive the passage of time through the shifting interplay of light and shadow.

▽核心水庭

肆 | 一印悬亭

涟漪之上，收藏一亭山色。

禅亭浮于水面，外形如同一枚玉玺，内部又是一个亭子的形状，顶部是中国经典的“人”字坡屋檐。与售楼处的屋顶形成一高一低两峰错落的画面，营造一种“不识庐山真面目，只缘身在此山中”的场景感。故得名“单峰玺亭”。

IV | Suspended Pavilion Reflection

Upon the rippling water, a pavilion captures the essence of the mountain landscape.
The Zen pavilion floats on the water’s surface, its form reminiscent of a jade seal, while its interior takes the shape of a traditional pavilion. The roof features a classic Chinese ‘人’ (rén – person) gable design. Together with the sales center’s roof, it creates a composition of two staggered peaks, evoking the sensation of being immersed within the mountains, echoing the sentiment: ‘The true face of Mount Lu is lost to view, for I myself am amidst its peaks.’ Thus, it is named ‘Solitary Peak Seal Pavilion.’

伍 | 一片禅林

“曲径通幽处，禅房花木深”。

沿溪步入苍翠林木之间，溪流潺湲，曲径蜿蜒，挺拔摇曳的冬青于两旁错综排布。小径以深山采集的天然原石铺就，石径旁有一处“朦月转廊”，穿过转廊后视线骤然开朗，踏水前行可达“单峰玺亭”。

V | A Grove of Zen

“The winding path leads to secluded depths, where the Zen retreat lies amidst blossoms and trees.”
Following the stream into the heart of verdant woods, the water murmurs gently, and the path meanders gracefully. Towering, swaying holly trees are artfully arranged on either side. The path is paved with natural stones gathered from deep within the mountains. Beside the stone path lies the ‘Veiled Moon Turning Corridor.’ Passing through the corridor, the vista suddenly opens, and one can proceed across the water to reach the ‘Solitary Peak Seal Pavilion.’

陆 | 一亩花田

“一卷竹帘问千秋，三山一石半方田”

以自然木色竹篱为留白背景，衬以红枫卧石、流水相依，渲染禅意古朴氛围。对景造一池三山，微缩模拟自然山川之意。植物下层黑色砾石结合苔藓营造匍匐地被，中层减少传统灌木球的使用转而选取多种舒展灌木进行过渡，上层点缀红枫等色叶小乔。连缀成一幅立体中国画卷。

VI | An Acre of Blossoming Fields

“A bamboo screen whispers of a thousand autumns; three mountains, a single stone, and half an acre of fields.”

Against a backdrop of natural wood-toned bamboo fencing, meticulously placed crimson maples and reclining stones intertwine with flowing water, cultivating an atmosphere of Zen-inspired rusticity. Facing this scene, a pond with three miniature mountains is constructed, subtly evoking the grandeur of natural landscapes. At ground level, dark pebbles intermingle with moss, creating a creeping groundcover. Eschewing the use of traditional shrubbery balls, a variety of gracefully spreading shrubs are selected for the middle layer to create a seamless transition. The upper layer is adorned with crimson maples and other small, colorful-leaved trees, weaving together a three-dimensional Chinese painting.

柒 | 一落石苔

止，而后能观。间，觅一处自在之所。

以石拟山，木以风雅，两条雨链垂落而下，水声就流淌在覆满青苔的大石上。以木篱为基底，点缀红枫、鸡爪槭，搭配拙石诉说禅意静谧。

VII | A Gathering of Stone and Moss

To still oneself, and then to observe. To find, within the intervals, a place of liberation.

Using stones to represent mountains, and wood for its refined elegance, two rain chains descend, their waters flowing across the moss-covered stones. With a foundation of wooden fencing, accented by crimson maples and Japanese maples, the artless stones speak of Zen-inspired tranquility.

| 设计者说 |

「禅」从不囿于枯山水与青苔，而是退让于自然，使空间随时间自然衰变，甚至被植物“吞噬”。拒绝修剪整齐的草坪与刻意对称的“永恒”造景，使空间具有“未完成”的生命力。通过不规则路径、迷宫式布局，打破“效率至上”的惯性，通过原生材质与极端环境刺激身体觉知，从而专注当下，感受当下。

| Designer’s Statement |

‘Zen’ is never confined to dry landscapes and moss, but rather yields to nature, allowing the space to naturally decay over time, even to be ‘devoured’ by vegetation. Rejecting neatly trimmed lawns and deliberately symmetrical ‘eternal’ landscaping, the space is imbued with the vitality of ‘incompletion.’ Through irregular paths and labyrinthine layouts, the inertia of ‘efficiency above all’ is disrupted. By using native materials and extreme environmental elements to stimulate bodily awareness, one can focus on the present, and experience the here and now.
