the ECO FLOW

Taking advantages of one of the most beautiful beaches in the world, the parcels in the West of waterfront Tran Phu Street are filling with high-end hotels and other tourism services. Ironically, these high-rises unintentionally become an artificial barrier between ocean and the people of this city, who have an impression that the beach is designed for wealthy tourists from far away, not local people.

We hereby consider the 240 hectare Nha Trang Airport site in the heart of Nha Trang city as an opportunity to provide a large open space with the breath of ocean to local people. The “ECO FLOW” Park, which pierces parallel to the existing airport runway, is the solution in how the coastal open spaces can be linked to the new city downtown.

This will be the place for daily communal activity of local inhabitants, as well as tourist cultural events such as exhibitions and parades. This is the place where local culture and inhabitants meets with international events and people, in the city of Marine Culture and Tourism.

The “ECO FLOW” park will penetrates eastern breezes from the ocean deep into the urban spaces, improving the microclimate and comfort of the area in the specific and whole city in general, which is significantly important to a coastal city dedicated to tourism. The canal connecting the river to the Nha Trang Bay will also help improve water mediating and flood control. On the other hand, the Eco Flow is secure from tropical hurricanes and storm surges, thanks to a series of island acting as wind and wave barriers in the eastern shore.

A massive central park of greenery and water spaces, going along with former runway boulevard, becomes the initial concept of designing the whole new area.

HIGH-RISES AND LANDMARKS
