The City Needs More "Sheep Square".

If you want to vote for Shanghai World Expo "

The 18 day was sultry and it began to rain in the afternoon.

As usual, "sheep square" has become a good place for tourists to take refuge in summer, shelter and rest.

Holland Pavilion staff said, "sheep square" design idea is very simple, the pavilion main body in the air, the space below can not only shelter from wind and rain, but also shading the sun, designers have thought of making full use of.

The area is made into a green grass and placed in a large group of "sheep stools" to show the developed Holland.

"Sheep square" is only a public rest area, but I think it is quite different from other rest areas.

People hide under the Holland Pavilion, no matter whether it is sunny or rainy, there is no need to worry. Many stools in the Expo site are wet on rainy days. They will be exposed to sunshine when the weather is fine.

This is probably the first point we need to learn from "sheep square". A public space facility is better and the environment is more beautiful. Practicality should always be the first.

"Sheep" is this piece.

Compared with other rest areas, "sheep square" can accommodate more people.

In other areas, once the stools are full, it is also unpleasant for tourists to sit on the concrete floor; and the "sheep square" is paved with green plastic carpet to make the grass look more comfortable and cleaner than the cement.

"Sheep square" every day tourists are actually very dense, but under a green contrast, several cute sheep stand at their feet. People's faces are relaxed and they are not crowded at all.

The siting of the "sheep square" is also commendable.

The smart Dutch put a public square in the most crowded area of C. I think it's like building the open green space in the most crowded place in a city.

If the "sheep square" is located in the entrance of the park, where the tourists are eager to make their way, the Plaza will probably be unattended.

But in the C area, people have queued for hours. Who doesn't want to sit down and rest? Such location wisdom seems simple, but it also deserves our learning in urban planning.
