Project

To govern a big country is like cooking small food, so is governing a small city. The old market is a famous beach market in the Pearl River Delta. It still attracts early adopters. We compare the urban charm of Yantian to flavor of dishes. The broad sense of "flavor" of Yantian style can be seen in the territory of Yantian. The charming flavor of Yantian is not a single element of sea, port, mountain or city but the unique combination formed by these elements, and the old market town area is exactly where the five elements meet. Reconcile the five flavours: expand the service function architecture of “mountain flavour”, “sea flavour”, “city flavour”, “umami flavour” and “Hong Kong flavour”, and create a brand-new full-process experience space. 4D cooking: the “super fresh ring” structure that fills the “five flavors” service function is the basic frame, anchors landmarks, raises slow-moving vehicles, and sinks to create a car-free coastline. Taste in 8 key nodes: create 8 taste nodes along the “Super Fresh Circle”: The landmark hotel and the Tanka Cultural Center are the core buildings. The Salt crystal of Yantian is the architectural design concept, and the folds of the waves washing the beach are the podium and landscape design concepts.
