The Urban proposal for Dachanwan Port questions the current urban situation of
Hong Kong and Shenzhen by creating tension between the Urbanscape and wild
Landscape. Hong Kong has a mix of the super high density blocks and the complicated
infrastructure system While Shenzhen is more like a flat, car-driven city with
massive urban landscape.
A city with mininum private vehicle. In this proposal, the Street level is raised above
because of its high humidity level and not restricted to the ground level. By freeing
traditional 2-dimensional street level, it proposes that the city becomes three
dimensional and multi-layered. Compared to traditional urban city, multi-layered city
has higher-density. Rather than having limited accessibility of traditional buildings
from the ground, buildings of the multi-layered city are interconnected internally and
externally, followed by connected void spaces and public spaces.
