Everyone who looks at this building will have their own association: water lines bringing waves of feelings, the image of a ship that will take us to a journey… where the final destination is a better future, the figure of the plant Polygonum that represents the local relationship with nature and its strong agricultural economy. This individual association of the shape of the building with it concept embodies the unique.

According to the requirements of the program solicitation announcement, combined with the coastal location and the surrounding county environmental characteristics, we plan to make the following programs:
First, it is a single building which contains activities, all separated inside a single piece but associated by types. The Activities types are located in the building taking into account the services they bring to the city: the Museum and Library, the most urban part of the project, are situated next to the street, the women and children center closer to the residential with a green area and the Cultural program, the most poetic and emblematic part of the building next to the water, as a symbol of the connection of local culture with the sea.
In front of the building we placed a huge raised area, to be use as a multifunctional open plaza. The plaza serves either for ceremonies, festivals or for activities and events from the government in front of this symbolic building.
Is from this plaza and also from the street, where citizens can have a total view of the building. The building has a unique and exclusive design; this makes it a unique building in the world.
The building is surrounded by a connection space, call the belt. The belt is a 360 degrees circulation space, with views to the city and connecting activities inside the edifice. The belt rises up 6m from the floor level. This allows in one hand to generate a continuous public space at the ground level and on the other hand to bring better views at the circulation space.
