Let's explore three remarkable projects, admiring both their innovative concept drawings and stunning final outcomes. And what links these very different projects? That while working on them, the renowned architectural bureaus relied on Vectorworks Landmark and its incredible software tools.
The Taicang Yuqin Garden
PLACEMEDIA's Taicang Yuqin Garden masterfully merges sustainability with aesthetic appeal. The design features elevated "Green Islands" interconnected by pathways, creating a leaf-like pattern that resonates with the sustainable ethos of the community.
“We see it as our professional duty to pioneer a better society,” said Yuta Kobayashi, an associate at PLACEMEDIA.
The master plan graphics are striking, facilitating easy interpretation. Contour lines help visualize elevation changes, while the color scheme differentiates plant groups. Building elements provide context for the site’s design.
Singapore’s Jewel Changi Airport
PWP Landscape Architecture, known for the stunning and downright epic National 9/11 Memorial in New York City, has created another marvel with Singapore’s Jewel Changi Airport. This airport resembles a scene from a sci-fi movie, featuring abundant greenery and a spectacular water feature.
PWP’s design graphics showcase the seamless blend of planting plans and architectural elements. The coordination between landscape architecture and architecture is particularly noteworthy.
Founder Peter Walker highlights Vectorworks' flexibility and precision, making it essential in their initial design stages. “We always use Vectorworks for preliminaries,” he noted. “It’s much more flexible and refined than AutoCAD.”
The Barangaroo Reserve
Another PWP gem, Barangaroo Reserve, skillfully integrates a rustic shoreline with a modern cityscape while honoring Australian heritage. Inspired by pre-European settlement vegetation, it is deemed “the most scientifically significant planting program in central Sydney for decades.”
The plan delivered by PWP includes a simple legend with all necessary information: plant names, distribution rates, and corresponding symbols in the site plan.
In Conclusion
Firms like PLACEMEDIA and PWP Landscape Architecture rely on Vectorworks Landmark to bring their beautiful designs to life. Numerous other firms also trust Vectorworks Landmark for its robust BIM capabilities, making it a preferred choice in the industry.
