Mangroves are not afraid to wander, endure loneliness, take root in a distant place, and adapt to the harsh environment, which is highly consistent with the spirit of the Shenzhen people who dare to fight, dare to pioneer, and work hard. Mangroves are the source of memories of Shenzhen Bay super headquarters, and also the spiritual home of the Shenzhen people.
Inspired by the ecological characteristics of mangroves, our project of ‘Super Biotopes’ creates a multi-functional integration of facilities with a mixed-use of leisure, work, and culture, emphasizing natural ecology, convenience, efficiency, and a rich experience.
-Ecological basis. Biotopes of nature: In this project we go from the attention of vertical building space density, return to the attention of horizontal public space density, connecting the relationship between water-green ecosystems and the shaping of the earth’s artistic landscape, to build a symbiotic friendly relationship between the city and nature.
-Nutrient transport channel. Biotopes of efficiency: The core of the new integrated transport hub is composed of several rail transit lines, which will effectively help the economic integration of Guangdong, Hong Kong, Macao, and Dawan District in the future, cooperating with the non-separable public space network, and form a slow-moving city. The main priority in this kind of city is to connect with the environment 'and encourage walking as the predominant means of getting around.
-Interdependent habitat. Biotopes of experience: Under the premise of unchangeable high density, the continuous Green Valley Park Alliance and eight public building communities upgrade the single coastline into an active public open living network, promoting the emotional integration of humans and nature.
