Project

The Mangrove Wetland Museum is a memory extension of the layered grounds, showing the city of Shenzhen’s attention and emphasis on ecological civilization and cultural construction, and gradually exploring the new normal of symbiosis between man and nature.

The shape of the mangrove is the driving force of architectural design. The basic form of architecture is derived from the metaphor of mangroves. The construction logic corresponds to the shape of the tree: roots, stumps and trunks. The green building technology is also derived from nature. The unit structure acts as a filter device for sunlight and water to provide a comfortable indoor space.

Design and establish five elements of habitat, corridors, barriers, sources, and sinks to maximize ecosystem functions and services, reshape important habitats, and form healthy ecological succession of plants. Use ecological engineering methods to enhance the structure and function of the ecosystem, develop eco-friendly experience activities, and establish vegetation and water facility management based on the life process of the target species.
