# Zigzagged Concrete Parks The Jinshan Modern Agricultural Park is Built to Look Like a Large Porch By M | Published 2016-08-26 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/concrete-parks References: [dezeen](http://www.dezeen.com/2016/08/26/zigzagging-concrete-veranda-built-in-shanghai-agricultural-park/) PPAS and TF are architectural teams based of Shanghai that have put together the design for the Modern Agricultural Park located in Jinshan. The design of the space is similar to that of a [large scale porch made of concrete](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/villagers-home) that features [tubular passages, corridors and zigzagging shapes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/folding-landscape) to create a functional visiting space for tourists to explore. The segmented design of the Modern Agricultural Park plays with form, shape and style to utilize different themes that collectively come together to provide a variety of activities and spaces for visitors to walk through. The inspiration for the park comes from traditional Chinese homes that would feature [outdoor verandas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lake-house-life-experience-pavilion) in the space. This is seen in the pointed segments of the park, as well as the use of green space throughout. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.5/10 - Popularity: 56% | Activity: 42% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Segmented Design:** Opportunity for architectural firms to explore segmented designs in various industries such as urban planning, interior design, and landscape architecture. - **Functional Visiting Spaces:** Potential for creating innovative functional spaces in the tourism industry, including theme parks, museums, and entertainment venues. - **Incorporating Traditional Influences:** Chance to incorporate traditional elements into contemporary designs across industries like architecture, interior design, and urban planning. ### Where This Applies - **Urban Planning:** Disruptive innovation opportunities for urban planners to create segmented designs that offer functional and aesthetic spaces for communities. - **Interior Design:** Exploration of segmented design principles in interior design to create visually appealing and versatile spaces for residential and commercial projects. - **Landscape Architecture:** Opportunity for landscape architects to incorporate segmented designs and traditional influences in creating visually interesting and interactive outdoor spaces. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Terraced Urban Landmarks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/go-park-sai-sha.md) - [Vibrant Sports Parks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/huachiao-vibrant-sports-park.md) - [Lake-Overlooking Tiled Pavilions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jinji-lake-pavilion.md) - [Lighthouse-Functioning Concrete Structures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/concrete-pavilion.md) - [Abstract Colorfully Vibrant Playscapes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wired-scape.md) - [Eco-Farm Landscape Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luxeisland-farm.md) - [Rocky Garden-Nestled Serene Pavilions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-3to1-pavilion.md) - [Barrel-Vaulted Roof Parks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zubitegi-park.md) - [Charred-Wood Tranquil Pavilions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3to1-pavilion.md)
