Kengo Kuma, a Japanese architect, hopes that this “seaside station” can show the future of China and the future of mankind in the post epidemic era

.

Kengo Kuma, big, Ma Yansong, Fujimoto, anish Kapoor, Sakamoto These masters of architecture and art came to the South China Sea to imagine the future of human life in coastal cities

.

🌊 Haikou: coconut forest and ocean, the seaside post station, has no winter all year round

.

The temperature and scenery are just right, so it has naturally become a hotbed for art projects

.

In haikouwan district and Jiangdong new district of Haikou City, a large-scale international public art project in the name of “Haikou · seaside post” has been quietly launched

.

The 16 coastal stations, inspired by architects or artists, follow the concept of “nature, symbiosis and future”, forming a group of coastal landmark buildings

Maybe when you fly to Haikou this winter, you will see great changes in the city’s waterfront

.

⬆️ Haikou is known as a livable city ➡️ Weng Ling, the planner of this scenic line, is Weng Ling, the initiator of art and culture China Alliance and senior comprehensive art planner

.

All the 16 seaside stations are connected with the unique urban scenery of Haikou

.

“Different from the traditional viewing public art works, the project integrates multiple experience and practical functions such as leisure, entertainment, communication, education and public service, and invites people to integrate themselves, so as to establish the emotional link between man and nature and the environment.” It’s not easy to build a connection

.

Only the field formed by good buildings and works of art can create “Empathy”

.

Weng Ling’s art and culture China Alliance invited 23 groups of architects, artists and institutions from all over the world to participate in the creation: Architects / institutions: bjarke Ingels group, Kengo kuma, ong ard satrabhandhu Patrick Schumacher, South Fujimoto, Stefano Boeri, Thomas Heatherwick, winy Maas, Liu Jiakun, Ma Yansong, Zhu Xiaodi, jaehochong, Liu Shuo, Li Ruoxin, artist / group anish Kapoor, Ryu ichisakamoto, kimsooja and Lin Tianmiao Cedar Yang Fudongzhang AHA is a powerful lineup created by the sea

.

It also explores the relationship between human beings and the natural world after COVID-19, the symbiosis of new and old city, and the mutual stimulation of technology and art

.

A series of explorations will eventually lead to the ultimate issue – how human beings move towards a better future

.

Next, let’s take a look at the inspiration of some masters

.

01 Ma Yansong (MAD) of Yundong library looks through the list of buildings worth looking forward to in 2021 recently compiled by various platforms, and almost all of them can see the figure of Yundong library

.

About August, after the news of the construction of Yundong library was released, the white building cast a cloud shadow on many people’s minds

.

Architect Ma Yansong led mad architects to create this white “time and space tunnel”

.

The soft and futuristic shape of the organism is full of possibilities

.

It is the soul role of the whole building that the large and small cloud caves connected with the outside world lead the good sunlight into the space

.

They are like the holes for biological breathing, and also the entrance to the future world

.

In these cloud caves, people can walk around, watch the sea and think about the future

.

When the golden moon rises at night, the cloud cave shows warm light, just like the moon inlaid on the surface of a building, which is romantic from a distance

.

Yundong library is the starting point of the whole “Haikou seaside post”

.

It is not only a compound library, but also a coastal trail, connecting the city and the coast, reality and imagination

.

Rest, reading, emptying, watching the sea, or outdoor performance, music festival, the future will be possible here

.

02 sky mountain Fujimoto, an architect good at white philosophy, is going to build a “sky mountain” between the city and the sea this time

.

In the perfect location of the sea entrance, the rolling white roof circle a “small forest”, and the whole place is in the larger mountains and sea

.

Fujimoto has repeatedly discussed the complexity and diversity of nature in his past architectural design

.

“I try to seek harmony between our post station and the seaside and the sea, try to show the beauty of Haikou, and try to establish a good interactive relationship between the people who come here to visit and the seascape and the post station.” At present, the post station of “sky mountain” is also under construction

.

03 sound Museum Kengo Kuma & ryunoichi Sakamoto do not need to introduce too much, the combination of these two masters of art and culture is also enough to be expected

.

Along the coastline of Haikou, they will jointly present a “sound Museum” to show us “nature and music”

.

Previously, Kengo Kuma had designed a lighthouse called “spray” for Haikou

.

He loves to use local materials, but this time he takes a fancy to the local volcanic rocks, plants and topography in Haikou

.

He plans to integrate them into the design

.

“I will work with my friend, world famous musician ryunoichi Sakamoto, to create a place where we can feel nature and music, and hope to create a place where we can experience the natural environment of the ocean and the city.” “I’m ryichi Sakamoto

.

It’s a great honor for me to cooperate with my old friend Kengo Kuma and meet so many artists and friends through the” Haikou seaside post “project

.

I look forward to meeting you as soon as possible.” 04? Anish Kapoor, a famous sculpture artist, will also bring a surprise to Haikou, a seaside post

.

Anish Kapoor’s sculptures used to be large, simple and adventurous

.

Although anish Kapoor’s current creative ideas remain mysterious, like a “?” However, his artistic installation will not disappoint people, expecting the wonderful collision between anish Kapoor’s splendor and the tranquility of the seaside

.

05 people + nature + city = maybe winymaas (MVRDV) the MVRDV architecture firm co founded by winymaas is known as “the firm that will die without innovation”

.

Although it sounds exaggerated, they have made many amazing and bold architectural attempts in recent years

.

In the past, MVRDV did not forget to show the importance of nature, even though the modeling changed a lot

.

They believed that the future livable cities should be more dense, greener and more attractive

.

“The seaside station project brings the possibility of the integration of culture, city and natural landscape

.

We believe that this deep integration is very important for Haikou

.

This project is a future sample of the integration of human, nature and city, and a sample of our in-depth thinking about how to protect the ecology and human well-being

.

” It is believed that winymaas will also bring more possibilities related to the city, culture and nature in the “Haikou seaside post”.
