About Dongtou Passenger Port Vaartterminaal

Dongtou Passasiershawe is 'n vaartterminaal geleë by Tantoubergbaai in Dongtou, China. Die terminaal verbind stedelike en skilderagtige gebiede. Gelei deur die konsep van simbiose tussen berg en see, vorm terrasvormige teruggesette geboue en beplante hellings 'n driedimensionele ruimte. Die ontwerp verbind die berge en die kuslyn in die lengte en sluit 'n 800 meter lange kommersiële en waterfrontstrook oor die terrein in. Vervoer-, kommersiële en ekologiese korridors word op afsonderlike vlakke geplaas. 'n Geboë betonskaalstruktuur, geïnspireer deur seeskulpvorms, hou die binneruim vry van kolomme.

Unique Properties: Located at Tantou moutain Bay in Dongtou, the site links urban and scenic zones. Guided by the "Symbiosis of Mountain and Sea" concept, terraced setback buildings and vegetated slopes blend mountain and sea to create a three-dimensional space. Longitudinally connect mountains and coastline, transversely integrate an 800-meter commercial-waterfront belt, vertically zone transport, commercial, and ecological corridors, shaping a low-carbon symbiotic entity.
Dimensions & Packaging: Site Area: 21,000 ㎡
Total Floor Area: 10,500 ㎡
Floor Area Ratio (FAR): 0.5
Tags: Terminal，Mountains and seas，Seashell，landscape
Production Technology: Employs a curved concrete shell structure,Ensure that there is no large space for columns in the room
Design Challenge: In a complex terrain environment, how can buildings blend seamlessly with the "mountains and seas", and how can they provide people with a leisure walking space?
Research: The base at Tantou Mountain in Dongtou constructs a three-dimensional space based on the concept of "mountain-sea symbiosis" and creates a low-carbon entity. The cruise terminal integrates the elements of Buddhist grottoes and seashells, creating the artistic conception of "Buddhist Grottoes in a Mirage City by the Sea".
Inspiration: The Dongtou passenger port draws inspiration from the curvilinear forms of seashells, integrating the morphological essence of Buddhist grottoes to craft the poetic concept of "Maritime Mirage of Sacred Caves." Resembling a colossal shell cradling a pearl, the structure materializes as a mirage-like seascape. Through layered archways and streamlined shell-like volumes, it enhances its landmark identity as a pilgrimage gateway while transcending Buddhist cultural motifs into contemporary poetics.
