Fengming Mountain Park is located on a site that is 16,000m2, which is located in Shapingba District of Chongqing. The project description for this park was to design a demonstration park and an urban public area to convey an identity in order to market the prospect growth.

The site has topography that drastically changes which makes for an efficient challenge to assist pedestrians through the site. A strong association between the venue of the site and the surrounding of the scenery of the immense peaks was the vision the designers had in mind.

The giant red and orange sculptures line up along the road that enters the plaza car park. These sculptural pavilions were strategically places to complement the slopes of the site and to draw people around the park.

The pavilions also provide shade and at night they are lit to create a radiant lantern.

Born and raised in Ukraine, she holds a Master’s degree in Languages from Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv. Her deep passion for architecture and visual storytelling led her to transition from translation and editorial roles into the world of design media. With a keen eye for conceptual clarity and narrative structure, Anastasia curates and presents global architectural projects with precision and flair. She is particularly drawn to parametric and digital design, cultural context, and emerging voices in architecture. When I’m not analyzing the latest architectural trends, you’ll probably find me searching for hidden gems in cityscapes or appreciating the beauty of well-crafted spaces. After all, great design—like great connections—can be found in the most unexpected places. Speaking of connections, because architecture isn’t the only thing that brings people together.
