Appreciation towards HAS design and research for providing the following description:

水雾冥想中心（Botanica Meditation Centre）座落于合肥老城外围，在过去30年中，随著合肥人口快速增长，城市在极短暂时间内，从单一中心区转变成多中心模式，并承受著前所未有的密集发展压力。这样的开发现象不仅出现在合肥，更出现在每个中国大城市中，反应中国人需在短暂时间内，适应并配合快速发展下的工作与生活节奏。

The Botanica Meditation Centre is located on the outskirts of the old city of Hefei. In the past 30 years, with the rapid growth of Hefei’s population, the city has transformed from a single central area to a multi-center model in a very short period and has been under unprecedented pressure of intensive development. This kind of development phenomenon not only occurs in Hefei but also in every Chinese metropolitan city, reflecting the need for Chinese people to adapt to and cooperate with the pace of work and life under the rapid development that has occurred in a short period of time.

该项目业主过去在房地产行业发展，高压力的工作节奏下，一直对植物有著无比的喜爱；并希望建立一个对大众开放的植物园，同时可提供社区居民进行冥想、瑜伽、太极等陶冶心灵的课程，以教育“慢生活”的美学观念。

The owner of this project has been working in the real estate industry in the past, under the high-pressure of the work rhythm, she has always had an incomparable love for plants. She dreams to establish a botanical garden that is open to the public and can provide community residents with meditation, yoga, Tai Chi, and other spiritual training courses to educate them of the aesthetic concept of a “slow life”.

HAS design and research对于此项目进行深入研究，发现传统植物园有著巨大的水箱设备，虽可用为植物园的浇灌系统，但空间上却区隔为植物与设备两种体系。

HAS design and research conducted in-depth research on this project and found that traditional botanical gardens have huge water tanks. Although they can be used as watering systems for botanical gardens, they are spatially separated into two systems: plants and equipment.

在水雾冥想中心中，Hung And Songkittipakdee（HAS）扭转了常规方式，首先将传统设备水箱隐藏于地面下，便于让地面上的水箱构筑物转变成多功能空间，包括冥想、瞭望、放空等场所；接著延伸地下浇灌系统至植物园每个角落，不仅解决传统水箱与植物园相互背离的问题，其独特设计的水雾装置更诗意的体现出冥想、瑜伽、太极等活动仪式感。

In the Botanica Meditation Centre, Hung And Songkittipakdee (HAS) reversed the conventional method. First, the traditional equipment water tank was hidden under the ground, so that the water tank structure that are on the ground could be transformed into a multi-functional space, including places for meditation, lookout, and emptying. Then there is the extended underground watering system, which extends to every corner of the botanical garden. The extended watering system not only solves the problem of the traditional water tank and the botanical garden deviating from each other, but also adds to the uniquely designed water mist device in a more poetical way that reflects the ritual sense of meditation, yoga, Tai Chi, and other activities.

在白天，水雾冥想中心呈现静谧又丰富的景观层次感，提供人与当地昆虫、鸟类、松鼠一处自然的休憩空间；到了下午，水雾系统会自动进行浇灌，除了产生大量雾气外，更模拟地块周围的翡翠湖的晨雾景象，替冥想提供一处具有精神性的开放场所。

During the day, the Botanica Meditation Centre presents a quiet and rich sense of the landscape hierarchy, providing a natural resting space for people and local insects, birds, and squirrels; in the afternoon, the water mist system will automatically water, in addition to generating a lot of fog. All these elements are added to simulate the scene of the morning mist surrounding the Emerald Lake around the site, and to provide a spiritually open place for meditation.

此外，水雾冥想中心表面材料与地面石板皆取自于合肥当地洞石，数百块石材由当地工匠手工敲打出不规则的边缘，有如被水雾侵蚀所形成的自然现象；而可提供大量水雾浇灌系统的水雾冥想中心，不仅替环境带来凉爽的微生态系统，其隐蔽的形体让居民在早晨、下午、夜晚有著戏剧般的非日常性体验。

In addition, the facade materials of the Botanica Meditation Centre and landscape stone are all taken from the local travertine in Hefei. Hundreds of stones are hand-beaten by local craftsmen with irregular edges, as if it is a natural phenomenon formed by water mist erosion. The Botanica Meditation Centre, which can provide a large amount of water mist irrigation system, not only brings a cool micro-ecosystem to the environment, but its hidden form allows residents to have a dramatic and extraordinary experience in the morning, afternoon, and night.
