Unfolding the edge: Landscape of Pause and Movement

A landscape is not just a static visual element —it is an experience shaped by movement, interaction, and sensory engagement. This intervention redefines the lake’s edge as a layered experiential journey, where natural highlights and human interventions shape how people pause, move, and connect with space. The design amplifies existing spatial highlights, integrating pathways, ecological edges, and floating wetlands to create a continuous dialogue between land, water, and movement. By restructuring movement along the lake’s edge, the design invites users to engage with the space at varying levels—whether through subtle, framed perspectives, direct interaction with water, or ecological experiences.
