Symantec Chengdu: A Modern Oasis Landscape in Dense Urban Location

Symantec Chengdu is designed by SWA in Chengdu, Sichuan, China. It is a modern oasis landscape design for the Symantec’s research and development complex in a dense urban location. Previously, the landscape site was inactive and also banal. That’s why SWA tries to reinvigorate the site by connecting the building program and the site for the larger city around it.

Modern Oasis

Symantec Chengdu offers a modern oasis for the Chengdu citizens. It is a kind of an awesome oasis with a modern design style in the middle of the dense corporate complex. The image of the modern building and the green look on the site is designed well according to the key infrastructural elements.

Landscape Design

The whole design landscape of Symantec Chengdu creates a brocade. With the site and building program, this area becomes a modern oasis which is comfortable for everyone in the city. The dense urban location also becomes a consideration for the architect to make the best infrastructure.

Natural Elements

Even though this site is located in the middle of an urban area, the designer doesn’t want to miss a good opportunity to make it more natural. Some of the natural elements are decorated Symantec Chengdu awesomely, such as green plants, big rocks, stone, and even wood material for the pathway.

The big white rocks become the interesting things on Symantec Chengdu. There are several rocks which are used to add a natural design together with other elements, especially the stones. The green plants are completing the natural design for this modern oasis.

Pathways are unique things from Symantec Chengdu. It is designed with wood material and irregular shape. A straight pathway is too regular for this oasis. The irregular design is so inviting for the people to walk on it and enjoy the natural elements around it.
