2024年成都公园城市花园季暨第七届北林国际花园建造周 （全国大学生花园设计建造竞赛）

From the 'first site' to the 'demonstration zone', Chengdu has been committed to building a park city demonstration zone of new development concept, by promoting high-quality development, high-quality living environment, and efficient governance. Following the concept that 'lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets', Chengdu has taken the lead in creating good conditions for citizen's life and work with modernized urban governance, and has become a city of innovation, openness, green, livability, sharing, wisdom, good governance and security. The 2024 Chengdu International Horticultural Exposition takes 'Park City, Beautiful Habitat' as its theme, focusing on building a platform for cultural exchange and mutual learning between Chinese and foreign landscape art. It vigorously promotes the development of the gardening and horticulture industry and strives to shape the brand of Chengdu as a 'park city under the snow-capped mountains.' The 2024 Chengdu Park City Garden Season and the 7th BFU International Garden-Making Week (National Student Garden Design and Construction Competition) as one of the international competition projects of the 2024 Chengdu Expo closely revolve around the concept of hosting the Expo, using the unique 'bamboo construction' to assist the Expo and interpret the Park City.

Bamboo has always been an important image and symbol of Chinese traditional culture with its upright and unyielding posture, also its high-level and tough character. In ancient times, there was the poetic ideal of 'a quite and secluded bamboo cottage' and the noble character pursuit of 'living with bamboo rather than meat'. The poetic and picturesque living environment created by bamboo and the tough spirit inherited by bamboo have been pursued by people for decades. The Garden Season actively responds to the initiative action of the 'Three-Year Action Plan for Accelerating the Development of 'Replacing Plastic with Bamboo'' issued by the National Development and Reform Commission and other departments in November 2023. It will continue to use bamboo as the main construction material and actively explore green and low-carbon construction technique. Through the creation of diverse themed bamboo gardens, it will encourage citizens to participate widely in the scenes of the park city, enhance the landscape quality of the park city, and highlight the charm and characteristics of the park city.

With the Launch of National Students Garden Design and Construction Competition, 2024 Chengdu Park City International Garden Season and the 7th BFU International Garden-Making Week will be held in May 2024. The event aims to promote a craftsmanship spirit and cultivate professionals' and students' creativity through drawings, models and practices, the event will provide an opportunity to integrate material construction and artistic expression.

In 2023，the National Student Garden Design and Construction Competition has been successfully selected and approved in the "Analysis Report of National General College Student Competitions" (formerly the National General College Student Competition Ranking) competition catalog, becoming one of the only national professional events recognized by the China Higher Education Association with garden design as the theme. It will set sail again in 2024. We sincerely invite students and professionals in the field of landscape architecture and other related disciplines home and abroad to participate in the design and construction activities of the event this year.

花园季竞赛主题——公园城市 美好花园

Chengdu City successfully applied for the 2024 International Horticultural Exposition (Category B) for the first time in September 2020 with the approval of the International Association of Horticultural Producers (AIPH), and it has become the first city in Sichuan and Chongqing region and the third city in western China to host the event. With the theme of 'Park City, Beautiful Habitat', the 2024 Chengdu Expo is committed to creating a horticultural event with 'characteristics of the times, international standards, Chinese elements, and Chengdu features' under the principles of green, low-carbon, sustainable, and inclusive development.

The theme of this year’s garden season is 'Park City, Beautiful Garden', to create a beautiful life of poetic dwelling with a good ecological foundation and diverse floral horticulture, together with universities from home and abroad. Gardens can accommodate various spaces, allowing everyone to find their preferred way of leisure. In the garden, you can chat with friends, reunite with family, enjoy tranquility, and experience the charm of nature. It also allows for a better understanding of the intimate connection between humans and all creatures. Gardens are not just beautiful scenery, but also places where people live and place their spirits. Gardens are not accessories to cities or buildings, but a part of everyone's life, blending cities with nature. 'Beautiful Garden' is the expression of the landscape imagery of the 'Beautiful Habitat' in theme of the 2024 Chengdu International Horticultural Exposition. We hope that every designer can express the concept of beautiful habitat in the form of building bamboo garden spaces, to express their vision for a beautiful life, and to showcase the beauty of ecology.

Participants are invited to design and build a small garden showcasing the charm of plants and nature in limited space by mainly using bamboo, herbs and other materials (The auxiliary material should be green and environmentally friendly material) in limited amount. Designers are encouraged to explore the various possibilities of bamboo as structural materials, enclosure materials and decorative materials on the basis of the natural characteristics of bamboo and the characteristics of its construction techniques, and to find the most suitable representation showcasing the theme. Bamboo materials, such as raw bamboo, bamboo splits, bamboo strips, etc., should be the main material. The strength ductility of bamboo and the consequent elasticity of the spatial structure, the ingenious joints caused by the limitation of natural materials, the various appearances and strong rhythm formed by the different arrangement and density of the materials… can be the basis for the design. At the same time, suitable auxiliary materials can be selected in concert with bamboo, to better demonstrate the theme of 'Park City, Beautiful Garden'.
