Shixi Road
Guiyang City
Guiyang City Government [with JWDA Shanghai]
Guiyang is renowned for its rich artistic heritage seen most notably in the elaborate tapestries from this region.
Looking to the future, Guiyang is a city pushing itself to the forefront of contemporary life. It must make this change while honouring its heritage.
The landscape of Shixi Road gives a clear example of how this can be achieved.
Tapestries are made up of many threads intertwined to form a greater beauty than any one thread can create on its own. In the same way, the landscape is a combination of five threads which together form a complex network of beautiful and functional landscape spaces.
Each thread helps define the use of the space, its aesthetic and its function, and together they form a virtual landscape tapestry that gives Shixi Road a strong, unified character and a beautiful, dynamic aesthetic.
