This master plan competition deals with a very important site within the center of a district, where the urbanization of Shenzhen first started and from which it later expanded, primarily towards the West. The district has lost some of its original pre-eminence in favor of the more recently developed central areas to the west, the current Master Planning agenda initiated for this competition reinjects cultures, indicates a strong possibility that, when implemented, will be an undertaking of such a magnitude and ambition that it is likely to give back to the district its former prestige and key position within the booming urban dynamics of the city. In pursuing this objective, we have drawn our major inspiration from nature: we have titled our project "The wave" because our design has drawn upon this analogy to generate a distinctive form for the proposed urban landscape, one that departs from the standard rectangular geometries of the generic urban fabric. And because, beyond the dynamic aesthetics of the wave, it indeed suggests that a new wave of cultural activities in Shenzhen should follow in the wake of this challenging Master Plan competition.

此总体规划竞赛涉及城区的一个非常重要的据点。地块将影响城市的都市化。由此而始,及后也由此主要向西扩张。近年来的发展主要集中在该市西部,而非中部。本专案的规模及抱负将促进深圳市喧闹不已的蓬勃发展。这次竞赛专案提及的总体规划议题,重新赋予该城区关键地位。此总体规划竞赛方案具有开创性的意义,不仅仅是作为一个巨大的综合发展项目,而且是因为它将潜在影响城市的未来空间和文化景观。我们明白项目的成功将取决于它如何回应这座城市未来的需要和如何强化它为公众提供更好的城市体及无限的可能性。我们将项目称为”涛”,因为我们的设计借鉴了浪涛这个比喻,从城市肌理出发,生成一种独特的形态而形成城市景观,和超越浪涛的动态美学,它将领导新一波文化活动。
