Sichuan Ya’an Country Bridge

The specific essence of the place is fed back to the mind through the “body sense” – SMELL, VIEW, SOUNDING, TOUCH, etc., which interacts with the spirit of the place, thus generating the “awe” of the perceived space. Space carries a mysterious primordial power that grows out of the site.

The olfactory memory will make us remember the space more deeply. The form of the countryside bridge is gathered to the center, concave close to the river surface, Ya’an city flower osmanthus interspersed between the bridge, every year in September, October is the flowering season of osmanthus, the aroma will be gathered in the concave space, the petals scattered in the seats, floating in the river, amplifying the experience of the venue for the site of olfactory primordial motive force, gathered space not only to enjoy osmanthus, but also to provide a different place of gathering. Like a flower petal floating in the water, it carries more romantic memories, and the tip of the flower comes into contact with the surface of the lake, causing ripples, and retaining the nostalgia with the “fragrance of ten miles of osmanthus flowers”.
