Creating the Perfect Waterscape with Schist and Slate

Achieving a stunning waterscape involves careful selection, precise construction, and a deep understanding of natural materials.

Material Selection and Preparation

• Strict Screening: Schist and slate must be carefully selected to ensure quality.
• Removal of Imperfections: Small, broken, or uneven slate pieces should be discarded.
• Uniformity in Size: The size of individual rocks should be controlled to maintain a cohesive look.
• Cleaning Process: Each rock should be cleaned before being laid to prevent long-term maintenance issues.

Construction Considerations

• Layering and Texturing: The addition of schist and slate enhances the depth and texture of the waterscape.
• Dust Control: Maintaining cleanliness during construction prevents future complications.
• Natural Aesthetic: The design incorporates naturally scattered schist with a solitary tree and lush greenery, creating a dynamic landscape of rippling waves and swirling shadows.

Inspiration and Applications

• Historical and Modern Influence:
  • Junya Ishigami's Serpentine Gallery popularized the use of schist in contemporary landscape design.
  • The Suzhou Museum’s main courtyard, inspired by Bei Luming, showcases creative rock landscaping.
• Traditional Usage: Slate and schist have been historically used as roofing materials and decorative features.

Engineering and Sourcing

• Sandstone Stairs Pavers:
  • These pavers must meet engineering standards, with irregular shapes selected through mining.
  • A minimum side length of 15 cm ensures stability.
  • Suzhou Museum's stacked mountain design, engineered by Lin Bing, exemplifies this meticulous approach.
• Sourcing Journey:
  • Extensive searches led to the discovery of large sandstone pavers in a Shandong stone quarry.
  • These were cut into flakes with steel wire and transported to Suzhou for final installation.
