  2. DETAILS

As one of ten measures taken by Shenzhen Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government for the citizens’ well-beings in 1999, Dameisha Seaside Park (the Park) has been upgraded through multiple rounds of design and become one of the city’s showcases and an important node of the golden coast in the east of Shenzhen. Unfortunately the Park was almost totally destructed by the Super Typhoon Mangkhut in September 2018 and is facing the pressing task to restore the landscape, improve the coastline construction and strengthen the disaster prevention measures.

Considering the significance of the Park’s comprehensive environmental improvement project, we decide to launch an international competition to solicit the most creative concept from design firms worldwide. The goal is to create a world-class seaside park landscape based on strategic perspective, forward-looking vision, high standards and superior quality, making it a new example of international reputation in the new era; and to comprehensively improve the Park’s ecological environment, infrastructure, shoreline safety and environmental landscape, making it an important urban functional node for people’s well-beings.

The design scope covers the implementation scope for the landscape improvement of the Park and Yanmei Rd. The two parts should be considered and designed in an integrated manner. The implementation scope of the Park is 20.07 ha. and the coastline is 1.4 km long. The main design scope of Yanmei Rd is the middle section that intersects with Huanmei Rd and Songcai Rd (the road sinking feasibility study is now underway).
