Shine Stars: A Modern Interpretation of Traditional Chinese Culture

Reshaping the Charm of Yangzhou with Innovative Design

The project, created by the QIDI Design Group, draws inspiration from the bright moon in Yangzhou and aims to reinterpret the ancient city's charm using traditional cultural symbols and contemporary techniques. By monopolizing the beauty of the moon upon the Yangzhou canal, Shine Stars creates a bright moon garden, bringing to life the literary and elegant lifestyle of the past.

The landscape design of Shine Stars is located on the banks of the canal in Yangzhou, one of China's traditional cultural cities. It seamlessly links tradition and the future, showcasing the rich heritage of Chinese culture while incorporating modern materials and design solutions. The result is a unique installation that captures the essence of the ancient city in a modern setting.

The design of Shine Stars is characterized by its use of stainless steel to create a fan-shaped and circle interspersed model frame. The main support point is the gallery structure, while the steel mesh serves as the filling material, giving the installation a natural and light appearance. The mesh allows light to pass through and be reflected onto the water, creating the illusion of the moon being mapped on the water's surface.

Covering a total area of 4453 square meters, Shine Stars is a testament to the QIDI Design Group's commitment to innovation and creativity. The project seamlessly blends traditional Chinese culture with modern art, creating a space that not only showcases the beauty of the past but also inspires visitors to appreciate the elegance and sophistication of the present.

Shine Stars offers a unique visiting experience, where visitors can immerse themselves in the beauty of the moon and the tranquility of the water. The installation art and landscape design work together to create a visually stunning and emotionally captivating environment. Through the interplay of light and shadow, Shine Stars transforms principles into a tangible and immersive experience.

The project, which started in June 2020 and was completed in October 2020, is a testament to the QIDI Design Group's dedication to excellence and attention to detail. By combining traditional cultural symbols with modern materials and techniques, Shine Stars has become a symbol of the harmonious coexistence of tradition and innovation.

Shine Stars has garnered international recognition for its outstanding design. It was awarded the Bronze A' Design Award in Landscape Planning and Garden Design in 2021. This prestigious award recognizes designs that exhibit strong technical and creative skills, contributing to improvements in quality of life and making the world a better place.

With Shine Stars, the QIDI Design Group has successfully created a modern interpretation of traditional Chinese culture. By seamlessly blending the past and the present, the project showcases the timeless beauty and elegance of Yangzhou, inviting visitors to embark on a journey of discovery and appreciation.
