Production Technology
The designer employed a holistic, multidisciplinary approach, blending architectural innovation with environmental science. Techniques included biomimicry, to mimic natural systems for efficiency; participatory design, involving community insights for cultural integration; and systems thinking, to ensure every design aspect contributes to sustainability. Research focused on renewable energy potentials and circular economy models was pivotal. These methodologies ensured a design that is both innovative and deeply rooted in local context and needs.
Design Challenge
Design a sustainable, vertical coastal community in Hainan, integrating renewable energy, waste recycling, and local culture. Address challenges of limited land, environmental preservation, and rapid population growth. Aim for self-sufficiency, resilience, and harmony between traditional and modern lifestyles. The project should enhance biodiversity, promote community well-being, and set a new standard for sustainable coastal living.
Project Duration
The project was proposed in 2023 for Hainan Dan Family community in China.
Operation Flow
Our new fishery skyscraper is designed like a self-sustaining village that rises up into the sky. It recycles almost everything - water, energy, and materials from fish farming. We've built it to make the most out of sunlight, sea waves, and even waste, turning them into power and resources. This reduces our need for outside supplies and helps keep the ocean clean. By breaking down waste and using it again, we're also helping to restore marine habitats like mangroves. It's our way of giving back to nature while supporting our community.
Research
It integrates renewable energy, circular economy principles, and traditional culture into a sustainable living model. The project emphasizes environmental stewardship, energy self-sufficiency, and cultural preservation. Through innovative design and technology, SeaSync aims to address urban sprawl and environmental degradation, offering a blueprint for future coastal communities.
Inspiration
Inspired by the urgent need for sustainable living and the rich heritage of Hainan's Dan Family, the designer envisioned SeaSync Sustainable Community. Drawing from biomimicry, traditional fishing villages, and cutting edge environmental technologies, the project blends ecological principles with cultural preservation. Research on circular economies, renewable energy, and coastal ecosystems underpins its innovative design, aiming to create a harmonious, self-sustaining community.
