Currently
On the regional level, “symbiosis” refers to the relationship between HK and Shenzhen; on the district level, “symbiosis” refers to the relationship between Bao’an & Qianhai. In this kind of relationship Bao’an is not barely support, but mutual cooperation with Qianhai, so as to utilize the potential opportunity to achieve “regeneration” in the time of “postindustry”.

PERSPECTIVE The phenomena of ripples in the water contrasting the dynamic with static give the basic inspiration for the form of the urban plaza. A relatively quiet space is made around Zhujiang River becomes a void space along the business district. With the diffused shape, the center is centripetal while the edges are spreading out to the surroundings.
