Ivrea, industrial city of the 20th century
The industrial city of Ivrea, located in Piedmont, was a testing ground for Olivetti, a manufacturer of typewriters, mechanical calculators and office computers. The city consists of a large factory and buildings for administration, social services and residential units. The complex was designed by leading Italian urban planners and architects, mostly between the 1930s and 1960s, reflecting the ideas of the Community Movement (Movimento Comunità). Ivrea is a typical social project that expresses a modern vision of the relationship between industrial production and architecture.
The English Lake District
The English Lake District is a mountainous area in northwest England, with valleys shaped by Ice Age glaciers and subsequently by agro-pastoral land use systems, characterised by fields surrounded by walls. The combination of nature and human activity has created a harmonious landscape with mountains reflected in the lakes. Mansions, gardens and parks were deliberately built to enhance the beauty of the landscape. From the 18th century, the Picturesque Movement and later the Romantic Movement greatly admired this landscape, celebrating it in paintings, drawings and writings. It also inspired awareness of the importance of beautiful landscapes and led to early efforts to preserve them.
Baiwangshan Forest Park
Baiwangshan Forest Park covers an area of more than 200 hectares. It is located three kilometers north of the Summer Palace. The Beijing-Miyun Canal passes around the mountain. It is the closest forest park to Beijing. Baiwangshan is the easternmost peak of the Taihang Mountains extending to the North China Plain. It is known as the "first peak of the Taihang Outpost". The main peak of Baiwangshan is 210 meters above sea level. It is abrupt and tall. Climbing the main peak, you can see the land of Beijing in the distance. The scenery is magnificent. It is a good place for climbing and sightseeing. The park is densely forested, with a vegetation coverage rate of more than 95%. The air contains rich negative oxygen ions, and it is known as the oxygen source of Beijing. The red leaves of Baiwangshan are even more colorful. In the golden autumn, nearly a thousand acres of red leaf forests compete to show their beauty. The red is bright and intoxicating, making it an excellent place for people to enjoy the red leaves. The park has a forest of green cultural steles in the capital. The scenery is set in the forest according to the mountain terrain, and the steles are set in the scenery. There are pavilions, stele corridors and stele art walls, inlaid with more than 1,000 inscriptions by party and state leaders, well-known social figures and works of calligraphy and painting artists. Visitors in the forest of steles can not only see the greening achievements over the years, but also be intoxicated by the art of stele carving, so as to feel the magnificence of Chinese calligraphy and painting art and the influence of green culture. It is said that this is the battlefield where Yang Liulang fought against the Liao soldiers and where She Taijun cheered for her son. Therefore, Baiwang Mountain is also called Wanger Mountain. The remains of She Taijun Temple and Jiaozi Platform are still preserved. In 1937, there was a fierce "Heishanhu Anti-Japanese Battle". Now that the smoke has dissipated, the Sino-Japanese Friendship Pavilion, Huitou Stone, Wanglu Pavilion, etc. have been built on the mountain, becoming a place for leisure and entertainment for people in Beijing. In order to cooperate with the national fitness campaign aimed at improving the physical fitness of the whole people, the park has also launched a number of outdoor sports, such as rock climbing, rappelling, orienteering, etc., combining entertainment, sports, thrills and scientific knowledge. The park also provides camping tents for tourists to experience the fun of survival in the wild. The park has built a "Baiwangshan Bar" in the park, with simple wooden tables and chairs and European style. It can provide evening special services and seasonal snacks. You can enjoy tea, talk and music in a beautiful environment. The beautiful natural scenery and unique cultural landscape of Baiwangshan Forest Park complement each other. It integrates multiple functions such as education, sports, art, and tourism in one park. It is an ideal place for citizens and students to carry out patriotism education, environmental education, rural tourism, and sports.
