Abstract
Plant&PlaY – flying Park and Garden is a newly elevated metropolitan ecological attraction where all citizens can enjoy the combinations of exercises and agricultural activities from watering to harvesting! It is not just another beautiful park but a built-in garden. Designed to encompass four storeys, it has each level for each type of plant, perennial, shrubs, vines, and salad vegetables, from the first to fourth floor, respectively. The highlight feature of the park is the ‘customizability’. Once the first batch of vegetables and fruits are harvested, the blank space is waiting for the community to choose their preferred plant seeds to be grown in that area. Therefore, the park will be closest to real members’ needs, and hence will draw more people to visit since the sense of ownership is created. Another fun part is occurred because of the additional rides in the park like the spinning-cups ride and sliders, which aims to use the energy presently created by some other parts of the park. After its completion, the flying park and garden will serve all city people to produce more green space and cleaner air to the city amidst the polluted environment and crowded urban area. It is the new level of park, new horizon to all urban members. It aims to integrate the life of people with the nature since finally it is the one who can live in harmony with the nature who survive. While enjoying planting trees, the visitors are exercising naturally at the same time. With the ‘customization’ option of the park, the sense of ‘ownership’ is being built and thus drawing community together at the same place to take care of their own big garden. Since young kids are one of the main target, they will be instilled the nature-loving attitude so as to be a good citizen in the future. They will have a chance to be close to nature and appreciate what nature gives them and learn to protect it while growing up as their first toy will be soil, water, and water leaves. In terms of the power used in the park, it uses hybrid energy between fossil fuel and renewable one i.e. wind and solar power, with the latter in increasing portion as the technology for those continue to develop. That will reinforce the greenness of the Park to be completely green in the near future.
