2. CONCEPT AND DESIGN<br />

<strong>Thomas</strong> CHUNG, Associate Professor<br />

School of Architecture, The Chinese University of Hong Kong


F l o a t i n g F i e l d s 蛇 口 浮 田<br />

Productive leisure eco-water landscape<br />

Concrete ground broken up to form larger ponds; crushed rubble recycled as gravel to fill pathways; productive ponds formed from concrete bricks;<br />

pathways, platform, bridge with steps, benches and pavilions to create a walkable landscape, public space combining food production and leisure.


3. ECO-WATER CYCLE<br />

AND<br />

FLOATING PLOTS<br />

<strong>Thomas</strong> CHUNG, Associate Professor<br />

School of Architecture, The Chinese University of Hong Kong


E c o l o g i c a l Wa t e r C y c l e<br />

The project’s water cycle can be selfsustained.<br />

Waste water first enters the<br />

algae ponds, cleaned by the filtering<br />

ponds, and purified in the water lily<br />

pond. Then it flows into the carp pond,<br />

duck pond, onto the floating plots and<br />

aquaponics and mulberry fishpond<br />

areas. The floating plots gives oxygen to<br />

the water while partially cleaning it,<br />

before going back to start of the cycle.<br />

Part of the cleaned water is used for<br />

rooftop irrigation.

Multi-cycle Ecology<br />

Floating Fields integrates multiple ecological cycles, including Mulberry dyke Fish pond, aquaponics, floating farming plots, rooftop growing, filtering ponds and<br />

algae cultivation into one interrelated productive ecosystem. Ecologies within each part have multiple functions such as two-way nutrient provision, waste water<br />

recycling, crop production and landscape features, creating more flexibility than conventional closed systems; a virtuous cycle

Award Jury comments:<br />

“Floating Fields is a landscape<br />

complex that constitutes an<br />

experiment and exploration entirely<br />

based on the curatorial theme of<br />

“Reliving”. It is an exquisite and<br />

beautiful work, not only reviving the<br />

roots of a variety of agricultural and<br />

aquatic cultivation, the unique<br />

ecological agricultural landscape of<br />

the Pearl River Delta, but also extends<br />

and transforms them into a unique<br />

public space that offers a pleasurable<br />

leisure experience. Floating fields<br />

recreate the ‘mulberry-dyke fishpond’<br />

culture in an elegant and lyrical<br />

way.”
