The primary objective of this thesis is to thoroughly investigate the myriad of opportunities and

prospects brought forth by the forthcoming advent of autonomous vehicles, delving into their

positive influences on transportation systems, as well as the consequential transformations and

implications for the realm of landscape architecture. Utilizing a segment of Hong Kong's northern

metropolitan area as the experimental zone, this study scrutinizes the potential of self-driving cars

to dramatically revolutionize the traffic landscape, subsequently ushering in modifications and

enhancements to urban design, infrastructure, and the overarching built environment.

To establish a solid theoretical foundation and data source for this research, an extensive analysis

and synthesis of pertinent literature and case projects are conducted. This serves as a groundwork

for exploring the potential opportunities and challenges posed by driverless cars in relation to urban

spaces, as well as examining how landscape architecture can adapt to and capitalize on these

technological advancements. By liberating traditional spaces and surpassing inherent limitations,

a plethora of novel possibilities emerges, enabling the transformation of the predominantly

functional aspects of roads into more diverse, liveable, and interactive environments

Drawing from the aforementioned research, this thesis envisions the integration of park and road

attributes, ultimately leading to the establishment of a harmonious relationship between them. By

offering an abundance of travel, recreational, and commercial patterns, alongside the development

of innovative urban layouts and site functionalities, a dynamic and sustainable urban ecosystem is

cultivated. This vibrant environment not only fosters enhanced connectivity and mobility but also

enriches the quality of life for urban dwellers, paving the way for a future defined by the seamless

integration of autonomous vehicles and urban landscapes.

Abstract: The project analyses and examines the existing sculptures in Rushan,a typical shrinking

city, as well as reflecting on and exploring the contextual reasons for the large number of outdated sculptures in the city, the problematic contradictions and the future renewal of these sculptures. Through fieldwork and the collection of primary and secondary sources, the paper explores

how, in an era of increased aesthetic and democratic awareness, as well as the development of

economic and social networks, people are reflecting on and questioning the huge and outdated

sculptures that have been produced in cities over the past two decades as a result of frenzied

urban sprawl and the proliferation of real estate enterprises. Based on research and design to

balance the resulting contradictions and divisions between the old and new forces, urban development has been made to become more democratic, dynamic and pluralistic, and thus more in

line with the aesthetic needs and demands of the times in China’s new era.

Key words: Colossal sculpture, democratic transformation, material recycling applications, urban

renewal, China

Highlight:

1. Reflecting on the hegemony of huge structures over people’s aesthetics and the rigidity of

development in the city.

2. Finding the point of dynamic equilibrium between the old and new forces and the possibilities

for continuous renewal of development.

3. Recycling and applying local materials that are malleable and contain characteristic storytelling

to re-enable functions.

Introduction

The abundance of oversized and outdated sculptures in Rushan can be attributed to a bygone era characterized by urban frenzy and exaggeration. During this time, Chinese cities were driven by a pursuit of the largest,

widest, and longest forms of “beautification,” often fueled by a prevalent trend of comparison. This emphasis

on geometrical patterns and lines represents a limitation of consciousness that permeates developers, policymakers, connoisseurs, and even professionals, leaving a lasting imprint on the cityscape.The prevalence of this

consciousness limitation is evident among developers, decision-makers, connoisseurs, and even professionals,

and it reflects the prevailing mindset of the times. By challenging the status quo and encouraging a shift in

consciousness, Rushan can embrace a more balanced and holistic approach to sculpture and urban aesthetics.

This includes considering the cultural and historical context of the city, engaging in meaningful dialogue with

stakeholders, and fostering a greater appreciation for artistry and innovation. Through such efforts, Rushan can

redefine its urban landscape, transforming it into a place that reflects the spirit of the times while preserving its

unique heritage and fostering a sense of pride and identity among its residents.

Site problems

Over the past two decades, Rushan has undergone a significant process of rapid urbanization, reminiscent of a

similar phenomenon that took place in the United States a century ago. During that time, a large influx of peasants migrated to cities, resulting in the emergence of a group known as the boomers, many of whom were property developers. A notable characteristic of these boomers is the stark mismatch between their economic power

and their sense of taste. This incongruity has influenced the development of urban beautification, driven by the

consciousness of both small farmers and boomers (Yu Kongjian, 1999). Regrettably, some of the sculptures erected during this period were motivated by personal or political gain, rather than being driven by design aesthetics

or public interest. Furthermore, the absence of comprehensive planning and aesthetic guidance has led designers and developers to overlook the integration of urban fabric, historical heritage, and neighboring buildings in

their design and construction processes. These issues have collectively contributed to the stagnation and decline

of outdated sculptures within today’s urban landscape, resulting in a negative impact.

Design strategies

The art of decorative design and landscape architecture is a powerful tool for transforming sculptures through

the creative use of local materials. The design process typically involves carefully selecting specific areas around

the sculpture and creating holes with a three-meter interval. These holes are then filled with poles of varying

heights, depending on the desired momentum of the design. The height of the poles is typically 1.2-1.4 times

the height of the sculpture, creating a dynamic visual effect that enhances the overall aesthetic appeal of the

space.To ensure safety, special rubber plugs are used to fill the unused holes, enabling visitors to move around

the area with ease. The design process involves selecting materials that are both malleable and capable of storytelling, creating units that can be arranged and combined to form a cohesive whole. These units are designed

to interact with the masking surface, transforming the sculpture and creating new spaces for people to explore.

The positioning of the poles can be altered, and the materials used in the units can be changed in terms of form,

color, and combination. This dynamic approach ensures that the design remains fresh and exciting, allowing visitors to experience the space in new and different ways over time.

Conclusion

In essence, this study serves as a stepping stone towards a more enlightened and inclusive future. It sparks a

continuous dialogue, urging researchers and practitioners to delve deeper into the intricacies of urban space and

embrace the transformative power of design. By doing so, we can forge a path towards a harmonious coexistence of heritage and progress, breathing new life into urban landscapes and ensuring they remain vibrant and

relevant for generations to come.

Site Status

The design of some of the buildings and facilities along this overlong coastline is outdated and no longer meets modern aesthetic and functional needs.

These buildings may have an outdated appearance and ill-conceived structures, as well as a large number of buildings that have fallen into disuse.

These outdated designs not only affect the aesthetics of the entire coastline,

but also limit the effective use of the land.

Numerous of these huge sculptures are concentrated along the shoreline,

presenting a stiff and raw form that lacks a sense of flow and movement. It

may be made of cold materials, giving a feeling of indifference and detachment. This ugly sculpture may lack the sophistication and beauty of a work of

art, and fail to resonate and be appreciated.

In addition to outdated designs, unmanaged plants have become part of

the shoreline landscape. Due to the lack of timely pruning and management,

some plants grow luxuriantly and even spread to areas where they are not

supposed to grow. These plants will block the landscape and prevent people

from enjoying the sea view and sea breeze. In addition, some weeds and

overgrowth have started to occupy the open space, giving the whole coastline a sparse and barren atmosphere.

This cocoon room seems to be an exquisite work of art that exudes romance and a cosy atmosphere. The

pink lines intertwine as if it were a fairytale world.

Capturing the Moments of Summer

A corridor of cool blue threads woven into the sea becomes a distinctive feature in the summer. This

corridor stretches along the coastline, leading people to the endless sea view and the distant horizon.

As people stroll along the corridor, the cool sea breeze and the warm sunshine intertwine to bring them

comfort and pleasure.
