枯桃花卉市场位于中国青岛，是该市最大、最受欢迎的花卉市场。作为该地区重建的一部分，新的枯桃花卉市场不仅仅是一个市场，更是一个社区中心，是游客通往自然世界的门户。

枯桃花卉市场四周青山环绕，景色独特。该项目尽可能减少土地挖掘，以减小对环境的影响。像花朵一样生长的四个有机体量自山坡上生长而出。木材和铝制结构与自然景观无缝融合。遮蔽在花冠形结构下的屋顶露台可以360度全方位欣赏周围的景色。花冠形结构还有助于收集雨水，使建筑更具可持续性。

建筑物的有机形状提供了巨大的空间变化和灵活性。结构的“花萼”在中间创造了一个庭院，为建筑内部带来自然光。它为花卉爱好者和当地社区提供了多维度的购物体验。

Located in Qingdao, China, the Kutao Flower Market is the largest and most popular flower market in the city. As part of the redevelopment of the area, the new Kutao Flower Market is conceived as a gateway to the natural world for its visitors. Not only a market place, as a community center, it brings people together and encourage the exchange of knowledge and culture.

Surrounded by green-covered mountains, the Kutao Flower Market enjoys unique scenery. In order to minimize its environmental impact, the project aimed to reduce land cutting as much as possible. The resulting design is four organic volumes growing from the hillside like flowers.

The visitors are firstly greeted by the corolla-shaped canopies. The timber-and-aluminum canopies growing from the slope of the mountain, integrated seamlessly into the natural landscape. The roof terraces that sheltered under the canopies has 360 degree panoramic views to the surrounding. They are used not only for flower trading but also community gathering and culture exchange. The canopies also helps in rain water collection, which makes the building more sustainable.

The organic shape of the building offers great variation of spaces and flexibility. The ‘calyxes‘ of the structure create a courtyard in the middle that brings natural light to the interior of the building. It provides a multi-dimensional shopping experiences for flower enthusiasts and the local community.

By placemaking, a strong sense of community is created here which brings people together. While local business and tourism are promoted, local culture is strengthened.
