合肥水雾冥想中心

水雾冥想中心位于合肥古城的郊区，在过去的30年，合肥人口飞速增长，城市在短时间内从单一中心区向多中心化模式转变，同时也承受着前所未有的集约型发展压力。这种发展模式并非合肥独有，而是遍布每个中国大城市的发展轨迹，同时也反映出人们在短时间的快速发展下需要适应过程，并且需要配合发展速度调整其工作和生活的节奏。

The Botanica Meditation Centre is located on the outskirts of the old city of Hefei. In the past 30 years, with the rapid growth of Hefei's population, the city has transformed from a single central area to a multi-center model in a very short period and has been under unprecedented pressure of intensive development. This kind of development phenomenon not only occurs in Hefei but also in every Chinese metropolitan city, reflecting the need for Chinese people to adapt to and cooperate with the pace of work and life under the rapid development that has occurred in a short period of time.

▽项目位置

项目业主曾经从事房地产行业，在高压的工作节奏下，她始终保持着对植物的热爱。她梦想着建立一座对公众开放的植物园，为社区居民提供冥想、瑜伽、太极等精神调养类课程，让人们体会到“慢生活”的美学理念。

The owner of this project has been working in the real estate industry in the past, under the high-pressure of the work rhythm, she has always had an incomparable love for plants. She dreams to establish a botanical garden that is open to the public and can provide community residents with meditation, yoga, Tai Chi, and other spiritual training courses to educate them of the aesthetic concept of a "slow life".

HAS design and research对这个项目进行了深入研究，发现传统的植物园有巨大的水箱。虽然它们可以用作植物园的浇水系统，但它们在空间上分为两个系统：植物和设备。

HAS design and research conducted in-depth research on this project and found that traditional botanical gardens have huge water tanks. Although they can be used as watering systems for botanical gardens, they are spatially separated into two systems: plants and equipment.

在水雾冥想中心，HAS (Hung And songkitpakdee)颠覆了传统设计手法。首先，将传统设备水箱隐藏在地下，使地面上的水箱结构可以转变为多功能空间，可供人们冥想、瞭望和放空自我。

In the Botanica Meditation Centre, HAS (Hung And Songkittipakdee) reversed the conventional method. First, the traditional equipment water tank was hidden under the ground, so that the water tank structure that are on the ground could be transformed into a multi-functional space, including places for meditation, lookout, and emptying.

▽设计推演

地下浇灌系统延伸到植物园的每个角落，不仅解决了传统水箱与植物园相互偏斜的问题，而且以更诗意的方式增加了独特设计的细水雾装置，为冥想、瑜伽、太极等活动增添了仪式感。

Then there is the extended underground watering system, which extends to every corner of the botanical garden. The extended watering system not only solves the problem of the traditional water tank and the botanical garden deviating from each other, but also adds to the uniquely designed water mist device in a more poetical way that reflects the ritual sense of meditation, yoga, Tai Chi, and other activities.

白天，水雾冥想中心呈现出安静而丰富的景观层次感，为人和当地昆虫、鸟类和松鼠提供自然的休息空间；到了下午，水雾系统会自动为植物浇水，并产生大量的雾气。这些元素的添加是为了模拟场地周围翡翠湖周围的晨雾场景，并为人们提供一个放松身心的冥想场所。

During the day, the Botanica Meditation Centre presents a quiet and rich sense of the landscape hierarchy, providing a natural resting space for people and local insects, birds, and squirrels; in the afternoon, the water mist system will automatically water, in addition to generating a lot of fog. All these elements are added to simulate the scene of the morning mist surrounding the Emerald Lake around the site, and to provide a spiritually open place for meditation.

此外，水雾冥想中心的立面材料和景观石材均取自合肥当地的石灰华。数百块石头经由当地工匠手工敲打形成不规则的边缘形状，仿佛是水雾侵蚀形成的自然现象。

In addition, the facade materials of the Botanica Meditation Centre and landscape stone are all taken from the local travertine in Hefei. Hundreds of stones are hand-beaten by local craftsmen with irregular edges, as if it is a natural phenomenon formed by water mist erosion.

水雾冥想中心提供了大量的水雾灌溉系统，不仅为环境带来了凉爽的微生态系统，且其隐蔽的形式让居民在晨间、下午和晚间都有戏剧性和非凡的体验。

The Botanica Meditation Centre, which can provide a large amount of water mist irrigation system, not only brings a cool micro-ecosystem to the environment, but its hidden form allows residents to have a dramatic and extraordinary experience in the morning, afternoon, and night.
