Abstract

The concept is rooted in Shan Shui painting, the poetic Chinese tradition of mountain and
water landscapes.

We were inspired by how these images balance nature, culture, and daily life. The architecture flows like a wave: dynamic yet grounded. Rooflines echo water in motion, open terraces extend into the lake, and mirrored pools double the horizon. This creates a dialogue between tradition and innovation, art and sport, landscape and city.

Note: This international design competition is of the highest caliber, featuring a distinguished roster of globally renowned architects and leading firms, including:

Coop Himmelb(l)au
ENNEAD Architects (USA)
Frédéric Rolland (France)
Kengo Kuma (Japan)
MAD Architects (China)
PES-Architects (Finland)
