Merchants International Cruise City: A Harmonious Blend of Art and Technology

Jialian Design's Award-Winning Project Merges Nature, Art, and Science in a Unique Demonstration Area

In the bustling city of Zhanjiang, Guangdong Province, China, a unique architectural marvel stands as a testament to the harmonious blend of nature, art, and science. The Merchants International Cruise City, designed by the renowned Jialian Design team, is a demonstration area that embodies the spirit of the South China Sea and the local area, reflecting the momentum of sailing and the spirit of embracing all rivers.

The design of the Cruise City draws inspiration from the vastness, profundity, and quietness of the sea, incorporating elements of waves and boats to create an artistic conception of harmony between man and nature. The design team has successfully integrated regional elements throughout the project, showcasing the magnificent scene of the site through the design method of borrowing and matching to build different scenes with steps.

One of the unique features of this design is its attention to the spirit of the site, from the local construction and materials to the integration of the community. The project is a permanent demonstration area that not only reflects the corporate culture of the developer but also establishes its brand confidence, along with the cultural context of Zhanjiang City.

The design realization technology used in the project is equally impressive. The corridors are made of perforated aluminum plates of wave gray, carved out with a hollow pattern. When night falls and the light is sparse, the corridors transform into a tunnel of time and space, full of a sense of future and science and technology.

The project posed several challenges to the design team. The first was to reflect the corporate culture of the developer and establish its brand confidence, along with the cultural context of Zhanjiang City. The second was to ensure that the landscape and architecture could supplement each other, and the architectural form could be highly publicized. Despite these challenges, the team was able to create a design that is both functional and aesthetically pleasing.

The Merchants International Cruise City is not just a design marvel but also an award-winning project. It was awarded the Golden A' Landscape Planning and Garden Design Award in 2022, a prestigious accolade granted to marvelous, outstanding, and trendsetting creations that reflect the designer's prodigy and wisdom.

In conclusion, the Merchants International Cruise City is a testament to Jialian Design's innovative approach to architecture and design. It is a project that merges nature, art, and science in a unique demonstration area, offering a harmonious blend of form and function that is both aesthetically pleasing and functional.
