Text description provided by the architect. Located in the center of Maoxi Town, the 3.3-hectare Maoxi Mining Park, built in the 1990s, has been severely dilapidated and has been almost closed and abandoned for many years.
The five-ring symbol of the Olympic Games, which represents the unity of mankind, the continuity and integrity of the world, gave designers the inspiration to combine sports with culture and education to revitalize the park. This is achieved from the perspective of turning obstacles into bridges. Specifically, obstacles (unsafe buildings, 60-meter fences) were removed to make room for debris in the new building space; the removed void was accommodated by a square connected to the surrounding courtyard.
Walking paths are used to connect architectural and sculptural objects with the landscape of the entire park, connecting all directions, thereby forming an open place for local residents to participate in social, cultural activities, exercise, sports, relax or show respect. Historical events. This is how Maoxi Mining Park rejuvenates and returns to nature’s people and culture. Its mission is to provide public places for daily life activities, improve the quality of life, and compensate local people for their economic, cultural and social disadvantages. Details of the barrier-changing bridge in the park:
-Large Laurel Wreath-The structure consists of three eccentric rings: two edge rings each have six alternate landing points, the middle ring rises and slopes from the top (narrow) to the bottom (wide), and the core is surrounded by plants and flowers . At the top is an ancient iron fence, like the leaves on the branches bent into a large laurel wreath to commemorate the rebirth, so that people can get closer to each other and more connected to nature.
-Kitemory-This multifunctional space is recovered from the nearly 30-year-old truss and metal roof slab of a previously damaged movie theater, and rebuilt on the site of an old structure that was demolished for 25 years. The roof is like a huge kite, completely unfolded and loosely “bound” by the five landing points on the ground, creating a vast open space for exhibitions, performances, and conferences. They are on-site daily activities and constitute precious vivid movies. “They are being broadcast live on this memory-filled playground on a regular basis.
-Toigetation 3-The public toilet area is like three sculptural blocks, hidden under a tree-lined cover, and a frame system made of fence panels and old steel pipes. These three blocks are of different sizes and are randomly placed, with no line of sight from the outside, and no additional coverage; but it still ensures the necessary privacy for users and helps Toyotation 3 integrate into the park landscape in a natural way.
-Sawtooth roof-The sawtooth roof removes long-term attached “parasites” and returns to the original site for cultural and recreational activities. It has become an interesting memory highlight of the central square and played an important role in supporting local celebrations.
-Amphitheatre at Festival Plaza-The park has been greened with 1.6 hectares of grass on the surface, the number of shading trees has doubled, and 200 trees have been planted. The newly built terrain-based ramp (the park’s current height difference ranges from approximately 2m to 5m, depending on the location) helps people with disabilities and cyclists to enter more easily, while connecting the front community-through the park-in Behind.
A total of 1.4 hectares of granite was paved, including walking paths, small yards for sports equipment, resting seats, miners’ monument yards, especially the Festival Plaza. This is a public place for the urban population and can easily be used as an open-air place when needed theater. In Vietnam, the area of ​​construction squares only accounts for 0.004% of the urban land area, and the standard per capita square area is very low, about 0.02 square meters. Therefore, the creation of such an open-air theater in Maoxi Mining Park provides a scalable solution to help alleviate this shortage.
