01 设计缘起 | Design Origin

蒸汽朋克时代缘起于第一次工业革命之后，人力大量被蒸汽动力和机械所取代，是人类历史上一段生产力大发展，蓬勃向上的历史时段。在科技飞速创新的时代，人类对未来的幸福生活是充满了憧憬与热情。世界树的设定来源于这一历史时段，呼应着人类文明发展的关键时期，那种充满理想主义的，积极勃发的生命张力。

The Steampunk Era originated in the wake of the First Industrial Revolution, when human labor was largely replaced by steam power and machinery. This was a period of significant productivity growth and vigorous progress in human history. Amidst rapid technological innovation, people looked toward a future of happiness with great anticipation and enthusiasm. The Wonder Tree concept is rooted in this historical period, echoing the pivotal period of human civilizational development, and embodies that idealistic, vibrant vitality surging with positivity.

在这里，我们通过世界树的主题设定，探讨着一种理想化的方式：世界树帮助人类净化一方土地，而人类拥有技术且正义的一方，赋予世界树机械动力化的改造，让其可以拔地而起，行走于地球表面，为不同的地域带来净化的力量。人类文明与世间万物，是否可以成为一种可持续的，共生依存的模式呢？

For the thematic setting of the Wonder Tree, ​​an idealized vision is presented​​: In this tale, the Wonder Tree acts as a living purifier, helping humanity purify regions. Meanwhile, those with technology and a sense of justice mechanize it and infuse it with power, enabling the tree to ​​rip itself from the earth, stride globally, and purify diverse areas it visits. Can human civilization and all things in the world coexist in a sustainable, symbiotic relationship?

02 基因存储计划 | Gene Storage Plan

种子博物馆

Seed Museum

世界树的首层入口，从外部看是金属机械和缠绕的树根有机结合的树洞大门。进入之后，首层的内部空间，设定上是世界树能源核心的部位。为了延续地球的生态，世界树收集、储存了无数植物的种子，并用自己的本体树液能量为种子营造长久的储藏环境。 这里光环花园城真实地线下联合了重庆当地自然博物馆，历时半年走过黑龙江，宁夏，大兴安岭，西双版纳，收集了上百种珍稀种子，以现场互动交互的呈现方式，容许游客近距离参观和了解这些珍贵的生命信息。

The L1 entrance of the Wonder Tree appears from the outside as a great tree hollow gateway, where metallic machinery and entwined roots merge organically. Upon entering, the interior space of the L1 is designed as the energy core of the Wonder Tree. To sustain Earth’s ecology, the Wonder Tree collects and stores countless plant seeds, using its own sap energy to create a long-term preservation environment for them. Bringing this narrative to life, THE RING · GARDEN CITY has partnered offline with Chongqing Natural History Museum. Over six months, expeditions were made to Heilongjiang, Ningxia, the Greater Khingan Range, and Xishuangbanna, collecting hundreds of rare seed species. Through interactive displays, visitors are allowed to closely observe and learn about these precious life-forms.

基因萌芽舱

Gene Cabin

二层的内部空间，是密闭罐体中培育种子的科学实验室。一部分种子在这里发芽生长，模拟在极端的外部气候环境条件下，脆弱生命体的密闭培育实验。同时，二层也对应着外部看进来的视觉焦点——世界之眼的位置。上下的楼梯步道在这里中转，装置内外的人透过世界之眼产生视线和肢体语言上的互动，增强了代入和沉浸体验。

The interior space of the second level is a scientific laboratory for cultivating seeds within enclosed canisters. Some seeds germinate and grow here, simulating the protected cultivation of fragile life under extreme external climates. Meanwhile, this floor also is the visual focal point visible from outside—"World Eye." Staircases from upper and lower levels converge here, enabling visual and bodily interactions between people inside and outside the installation through the World Eye, enhancing immersion and engagement.

生命伊甸园

Eden of Lives

三层位于树冠层，有着相对较大的活动平台和植物生长空间。培育发芽的种子在这里初步来到露天环境生长，背后的设定呼应着人类的科技手法若得以善用，将能够改善共同的生存环境，保护生态系统及物种多样性。而如今发生在中国大地上的沙漠光伏+种植畜牧等科学模式的沙漠化治理，正真实地印证着这一点。

The third level, nestled in the canopy, features a relatively big activity platform and planting area. Germinated seeds begin to grow in an open-air environment here. This setting reflects the idea that if human technological methods are used wisely, they can improve the shared living environment, protect ecosystems, and preserve species diversity. The current implementation of scientific models such as desert photovoltaics combined with agriculture and livestock in China to combat desertification is a real-world testament to this concept.

03 地球净化计划 | Earth Purification Plan

水源净化系统

Water Purification System

探入水面的半机械树根可以承载水净化的科普展示。世界树借树根吸盘吸纳污水，先经旋转离心除泥沙大颗粒，再经机械过滤、恒温加热为微生物净化创造适宜条件。随后由树根关节处的生物净化池净化，杂质代谢物作肥料还田，净水经曝气杀菌后存入树脚储罐，最终融入世界树净化树液，从世界之眼瀑布流出回归生态，形成循环闭环。

The semi-mechanical tree roots extending into the water can be used for educational displays on water purification. The Wonder Tree draws polluted water through roots, first removing sediment and big particles via rotational centrifugation, then subjecting the water to mechanical filtration and constant-temperature heating to create optimal conditions for microbial purification. Subsequently, the water is purified in biological purification tanks located at the root joints. Impurity metabolites are returned to the soil as fertilizer, while purified water is aerated, sterilized, and stored in tanks at the tree base. Finally, it integrates into the Wonder Tree’s purified sap and flows out through the World Eye waterfall, returning to the ecosystem and completing the closed-loop cycle.

△ 净化系统沟通手稿及分析图 ©喜随设计

△ Purification System Communication Drafts & Analysis ©XISUI Design

交互方式上，游客点击树根下的触摸屏即可触发不同位置的机械动态。如点击污泥脱水离心机画面，触发其转动；点击塔式生物过滤池，触发内部液体冒泡与灯光变色；点击臭氧消毒装置，触发雾喷喷气。以此实现科普研学与趣味互动结合的效果。

In terms of interaction, visitors can tap the touchscreen beneath the roots to trigger mechanical movements at different positions. For example: tapping on the image of the sludge dewatering centrifuge activates its spinning; tapping on the tower-type biological filter tank causes the internal liquid to bubble and the lights to change color; tapping on the ozone disinfection device triggers mist spraying. This approach effectively combines science popularization and research-based learning with engaging interaction.

空气净化系统

Air Purification System

世界树所在的中庭空间，需要在树上装备多组轴流风机以加速室内空气流动，帮助空气循环的同时，也有利土壤水分挥发，保障室内植物的生长状态。对于这些刚需的风机设备，以及植物补光灯，树上照明灯等，需要整体纳入风格统一的设计考量。

In the atrium space where the Wonder Tree is located, multiple sets of axial fans need to be installed on the trees to accelerate indoor air circulation. This not only facilitates air circulation but also aids in soil moisture evaporation, supporting optimal growth conditions for the indoor plants. These essential fan devices, along with plant grow lights and tree-mounted lighting, must be collectively integrated into cohesive design considerations with unified styling.

△ 过程沟通手绘草稿 ©喜随设计

△ Process Communication Sketch ©XISUI Design

设计团队在树体内部，通过一套吻合空气净化系统节点设定的综合管线系统，将多组设备功能整合为一体。节点设计上包括有进气口，冷压装置，检测信号灯，分段排气阀等。其四通八达的机械管网体系，在延续了蒸汽朋克风格效果的同时，同样也为实际水电管线的铺设穿行提供了隐蔽路径。

The design team has integrated multiple equipment functions into a single system within the tree structure through a comprehensive pipeline system that aligns with the Air Purification System’s node configurations. The nodes of the Air Purification System feature functional modules such as air inlets, cold compression units, status indicators, and sectional exhaust valves. This extensive mechanical pipeline network not only preserves the steampunk aesthetic but also offers hidden pathways for the installation and routing of practical plumbing and electrical lines.

04 机械魔法生物 | Mechanical Magical Creatures

蜗牛

Snail

一只5米高的巨大蜗牛，外壳造型元素来源自工业螺旋涡轮机。腹足结合肌肉波运动的原理，设计为坦克式的履带。因其背负的蜗牛壳，而被赋予了护送运输官的设定，所以给它配备了火箭推进器，以及飞行员才拥有的挡风帽子，面罩，护目镜等。这些极速装备搭配蜗牛形象，创造出有趣的反差。

A 5-meter-tall giant snail features a shell inspired by industrial spiral turbines. Its foot, based on the principle of muscle wave motion, is designed as tank-like tracks. Given the shell it carries, it has been designated as a Transport Escort Officer and thus is equipped with rocket thrusters, along with an aviator-style wind visor hat, face mask, and goggles. These elements, paired with the snail's inherent association with slowness create a striking and amusing contrast.

△ 模型分析图 ©喜随设计

△ Model Analysis Diagram © XISUI Design

机械蜗牛本身也是一件儿童可以参与玩耍互动的游戏装置，从专属螺旋小楼梯向上进入蜗牛壳内，可以通过潜望镜向外观察，也可以从圆筒滑梯一滑而下，形成闭环的方便看护的儿童玩耍流线。蜗牛的脑袋触角从世界树主楼梯步道的内侧探出，像是张望着上下楼梯的人类，形成奇妙的对话。

The mechanical snail itself is also a play installation for children. Childrencan ascend into its shell via a dedicated spiral staircase, look outside through a periscope, or slide down a cylindrical slide. This layout forms a secure, circular play route that is easy for guardians to supervise. The snail's head and antennae stretch out from the inner side of the Wonder Tree’s main staircase, as if curiously peeking at people going up and down the stairs, creating a whimsical interaction.

蜻蜓

Dragonfly

机械蜻蜓的定位是集群行动的维修工，背上是维修背包，护目镜表示蜻蜓特殊的复眼结构。蜻蜓翅膀材质采用半透明彩色材质，给金属铜色为主的场地注入一抹特别的亮色。

The mechanical dragonfly is designed as a maintenance technician that works in coordinated swarms. It carries a maintenance backpack on its back, and its goggles reference the dragonfly's unique compound eyes. The wings are made of translucent colored material, adding a vivid touch of color to the predominantly metallic copper-toned environment.

巨龙

Loong

巨龙守卫盘绕在树上，守护着世界树和栖息在树上的其他生灵。龙身其功能作为三层观光步道的外围栏杆挡板，形式上参考了古代龙图腾壁画，通过板材之间的穿插拼接表现龙鳞的形式，并设置有圆形开窗，以便个子不高的小朋友通过玻璃窗口向外观察。

The Great Loong Guardian coils around the tree, guarding the Wonder Tree and other creatures inhabiting it. Functionally, the loong's body serves as the outer guardrail panels for the three-tiered sightseeing walkway. Stylistically referencing ancient loong totem murals, the loong’s form is crafted through the interlocking and piecing together of panels to represent loong scales, with circular windows set in to allow children to observe the outside through the glass.

神鸟

Divine Bird

神鸟是世界树上的侦查员，负责信息传递、环境侦察等。机械鸟的外观仿照东方神话中的青鸾，由机械雕塑深化制作单位重新设计，从头到尾总高度达到6m。

The Divine Bird acts as a scout on the Wonder Tree, tasked with information relay, environmental reconnaissance, and other duties. Its appearance, modeled afterthe Qingluan (an azure avian creature from Eastern mythology), stands 6 meters tall from head to tail. This mechanical bird was redesigned and engineered by a specialized mechanical sculpture fabrication team.

世界树上的机械动物是空间故事下的又一重要板块，从早期的概念设定，到反复地设计形象，赋予其空间使用功能，设计师们绘制修改了无数版草图和模型。后期的深化和制作由专业的机械雕塑制作单位完成，又在此基础上补充了更多的机械生命形象，将场景内的奇幻与交互效果推到了新的高度。

The mechanical creatures on the Wonder Tree are another key component of the spatial narrative. From early conceptual design to iterative refinement of character designs, infusing them with practical functions, designers have drafted and revised countless sketches and models. The later stages of detailing and fabrication were handled by a specialized mechanical sculpture fabrication team, who further added more mechanical characters, elevating the fantastical and interactive effects of the scene to new heights.

05 立体绿化及室内植物补光 | 3D Greening and Indoor Plant Supplemental Lighting

立体种植体系

3D Planting System

树上的立体种植体系，需要综合满足管养维护，滴灌走线，补光照明等实际需要上的方便。这个过程离不开多专业的配合。喜随根据设计效果及功能需要，划分了树上种植的需求点位，上植团队提供了植物补光照度模拟，风机，滴灌系统等专业咨询报告，纬图负责了具体植物品类，种植搭配效果，以及给排水施工图的设计。

The 3D planting system on the Wonder Tree needs to comprehensively meet practical requirements such as maintenance and upkeep, drip irrigation routing, and supplemental lighting. This process requires close multidisciplinary collaboration. Based on the design effects and functional needs, XISUI Design defined the specific points for planting. Shanghai Botanical Garden Green Engineering Co.​ provided professional consultation reports, including simulated supplemental lighting intensity for plants, ventilation system design, and drip irrigation systems. WTD GROUP was responsible for plant species selection, planting arrangement effects, and the design of water supply and drainage construction drawings.

06 结构设计及安全标识 | Structural Design & Safety Signage

结构体系

Structural System

世界树装置主体结构的布置方式，与设计所需的功能形式效果密不可分。喜随邀请了结构顾问栾栌构造设计事务所，从设计伊始便介入讨论。整个结构体系划分如下：

①核心支撑柱：立于树干正中，隐藏于世界树能源核心筒和种子博物馆内部。

②机械树根：从核心支撑柱向外散射的几根机械树根，起到了辅助支撑平衡的关键作用。

③气生根体系：参考自然界大榕树的气生根，用于支撑树冠枝条的横向覆盖延伸，确保枝条上机械动物如神鸟的稳固安装。

④悬挂吊索：充分利用室内吊顶结构梁，补充悬挂部分枝条，减少落地结构对空间的占用。

The arrangement of the main structural system of the Wonder Tree installation is inseparable from the intended functional, formal, and aesthetic requirements of the design. XISUI Design engaged LuAnLu​ (the structural consultant) to participate in discussions from the initial design phase. The entire structural system is divided into​ the following components:

① Core Support Column: Positioned at the center of the tree trunk, it is hidden inside the Wonder Tree’s energy core cylinder and Seed Museum.

② Mechanical Roots: Several mechanical​ roots radiating outward from the core support column, playing a crucial role in providing auxiliary support and balance.

③ Aerial Root System: Modelled on the aerial roots of natural banyan trees, it supports the lateral extension of canopy branches and ensures the​ stable installation of mechanical creatures (such as the "Divine Bird") on the branches.

④ Suspended Structure: Making full use of indoor ceiling structural beams to supplementally hang certain branches, thereby reducing the ground structure's spatial footprint.

△ 结构体系 ©喜随设计

△ Structural System Diagram © XISUI Design

为方便预制加工，同时呼应蒸汽时代的工艺特点，主体结构设计了多种组装及连接节点。如方便工厂预制加工后，分批运至现场衔接的巨大法兰盘节点；方便枝条转折分叉处传递受力的分叉节点；局部实现粗细变径转换，带有机械装甲风格及特殊功用的加特林节点。后续落地阶段的钢结构深化及施工由上海大界智造团队完成。作为国内为数不多的建筑智能化建造团队，大界在细部节点优化，数字化精准加工，结构预起拱等施工细节方面，呈现了安全稳固的结构保障。

To facilitate prefabrication and echo the craftsmanship characteristics of the Steam Age​, the main structure is designed with various assembly and connection nodes: massive flange plate nodes for convenient prefabrication in the factory and subsequent batch transport to the site for assembly; bifurcation joints that effectively transfer forces at branch bends and branching points; and "Gatling" nodes that realize local diameter transitions between thick and thin parts, featuring mechanical armor aesthetics and specialized functionality. The further development and construction of the steel structure in the subsequent implementation phase were completed by Shanghai Roboticplus TECH team. As one of the few domestic teams specialising in architectural intelligent construction, Roboticplus TECH showcased secure and stable structural guarantees through the optimization of detailed nodes, precise digital processing, and structural pre-cambering.

整个树枝分叉体系，由程序算法深化生成，在符合自然界枝条分叉逻辑的同时，又保证空间功能的合理划分，以及结构受力的综合要求。小枝枝叶组团则设计了三种规格，通过算法确认点位，满足大量悬挑结构在枝条上的受力平衡。其枝叶材质几经筛选，确认了满足效果和室内防火阻燃性的双重要求。

The entire branching system of the tree was algorithmically generated. It aligns with the natural branching logic of plants while ensuring rational spatial functional zoning and meeting integrated structural load-bearing requirements. For the small branch-leaf clusters, three different specifications were designed, with algorithmically determined placement points to balance loads for numerous cantilevered structures on the branches. The foliage material underwent multiple screening rounds to satisfy the dual requirements of visual effect​ and indoor fire retardancy.

安全防护与扶手栏杆

Safety Protection & Handrail Systems

空中走廊的两侧围挡，整体设计为弧形外凸的工业风金属围网。外观上呼应树枝饱满圆润的有机轮廓，功能上外凸的设计方便个头低于围挡高度的小朋友，隔着围网拥有更宽阔的观察视野。

The railings on both sides of the aerial walkway are designed as arc-profiled outwardly protruding industrial-style metal mesh barriers. This form visually resonates with the plump, rounded organic contours of tree branches, while functionally, the outward protrusion design enables children shorter than the railing height to gain a broader viewing perspective through the mesh.

朋友们出行结伴，同窗之间相约聚集，需要有仪式感，有话题度，独一无二的场所，来纪念每一次重要的见面。家长们带孩子出游，向往有公众包容度的，绿色、艺术、美好、趣味的品质体验。这需要空间场景的设计本身，是建立在艺术与美感之上的，可以步入探索，参与互动的，细腻情感的容纳之所。它可以容纳孩童探索认知与亲子游戏的发生，值得年轻人在此标记成长旅途中的又一纪念，给成年人一处短暂逃离世俗烦扰的放空之所，让老年人在快速更新的城市里遇见自己熟悉的花草树木与鱼。同时，背后的商业体以此向公众传递出不惜代价打造绿色品质环境的决心。惠利于民，创造优势条件于商铺，也极大地提升了自身的品牌高度。

Friends and classmates want a one-of-a-kind place—ritualistic, Instagram-worthy—to mark every reunion. Parents taking their children out yearn for a public, inclusive space that offers a quality experience of greenery, art, beauty, and fun. These require that the design of the space itself be rooted in art and aesthetics, a space that invites exploration, encourages interaction, and cradles gentle emotions. Such a space accommodates children’s exploration and parent-child play, offers young people a place to mark another milestone in their growth journey, provides adults with a temporary escape from worldly worries to unwind, and allows the elderly to encounter familiar plants, flowers, trees, and fish amid a rapidly changing city. Meanwhile, the commercial complex behind it conveys to the public its determination to create a green, high-quality environment regardless of cost. Benefiting the public while creating advantageous conditions for retailers, it also substantially enhances its own brand stature.

08 设计幕后 | Behind the Design

2022年初，喜随设计接到了来自香港置地联合招商蛇口的设计投标邀请，在重庆中央公园附近的光环花园城，4层通高的商业室内中庭空间，设计一座蒸汽朋克结合自然主义风格的巨大活动参与装置——世界树。

In early 2022, XISUI Design received a design bid invitation from Hongkong Land in partnership with China Merchants Shekou: to design a massive participative installation fusing steampunk aesthetics with naturalism — the Wonder Tree — in the four-story-high commercial atrium of THE RING · GARDEN CITY in Chongqing, adjacent to Chongqing Central Park.

总体空间策划及景观设计由WTD纬图设计完成，负责了整个场景基底景观概念到施工图、整体植物设计、水下森林方案设计、攀岩墙方案设计，以及相关专业整体的统筹。并明确了该处空间主体核心装置的命题及风格定位。

The overall spatial planning and landscape design were completed by WTD Design. Their scope covered from the base landscape concept to construction drawings, overall planting design, underwater-forest concept, climbing-wall concept, as well as cross-disciplinary coordination. They also defined the theme and stylistic orientation for the primary core installation in this space.

△ Wonder Tree Concept Phase Rendering © WTD GROUP

喜随设计团队在此基础上介入，接力并主导了世界树总体装置的全面方案设计工作，面对这样一个充满奇幻张力和建造魄力的项目诉求，在历时三年半的时间里，设计师们经历了从世界树整体装置造型重新推敲、蒸汽时代历史资料研究、自然探索系统（“地球净化计划”与“基因存储计划”）设计，树木分枝生长逻辑及结构力学体系研究，融入参与功能的机械动物形象设计，水电灯光植物等树上各专业配合，搭建用于精细化指导施工的全息模型，各种细部功能设备、安全说明标识等等的隐藏式设计，以及世界树全套施工图纸的绘制等过程。

Building on this foundation, the XISUI Design team stepped in to take over and lead the comprehensive schematic design for the Wonder Tree installation. Confronted with a project demand brimming with fantastical tension and constructive ambition, the designers engaged in a rigorous three-and-a-half-year process. This included revisiting the overall form of the Wonder Tree, researching historical materials of the Steam Age, designing the natural exploration system ("Earth Purification Plan" and "Gene Storage Plan"), studying the branching growth logic and structural mechanics of the tree, creating mechanical animal figures integrated with participatory functions, coordinating with various disciplines (plumbing, electrical, lighting, and planting) on tree-mounted elements, constructing holographic models for detailed construction guidance, implementing hidden designs for detailed functional equipment and safety instruction signage, as well as drafting complete construction drawings for the Wonder Tree.

从设计到施工的4年以来，世界树的整体方案及深化细节都历经多轮演变，有更多享誉全球的专项深化设计团队，专业顾问团队，经验丰富的施工团队参与进来。在如此复杂且高度定制的项目里，在落地质量与巨量的现实挑战下，来自多个团队，集成了多个专业背景的幕后工作人员们，都拿出了百分之二百的热情与专业度，与项目的甲方管理团队一起，最终并肩完成了这样一个奇幻的，特别的，不循规蹈矩的，难以用常规经验对待的，几近天马行空式的构想。

Over the four years from design to construction, the overall scheme and detailed development of the Wonder Tree have undergone multiple rounds of iterations, involving more globally renowned specialized deepening design teams, expert consultants, and experienced construction teams. Confronted with such a complex and highly customized project and the substantial real-world challenges of implementation quality, the multidisciplinary team behind the scenes poured in 200% passion and professionalism. Working hand-in-hand with the client's management team, they ultimately brought to life a fantastical, unique, non-conformist, transcending standard practices, and nearly whimsical idea.
