Properly-arranged schedule, well-edited video, live studio with popularity, intense project presentations, trenchant comments of the judges, interesting prize-giving quiz as well as relaxing tea break left the event with indelible colors. Let’s review the wonderful moments together.

CCCG • Binjiang Eco-Park (Schematic Design Project)

Judge’s comments: Generally, the layout planning of this project looks good and it is fantastic to introduce sponge city concept. It will be much better to incorporate the whole wetland into the sponge city system.

Dong-E E-Jiao Bio-Tech Park (Construction Project)

Judge’s comments: There will be more projects of this kind in the future. In the perspective of extra value that the developers always seek for, it is advisable to do some case studies of foreign industrial park on how to improve the visitors ’experience in the industrial park.

Judge’s comments: It is really a great thing that the designer could get so exciting when he sees his own work. Design needs passion. Regarding this project, there is a question that how to integrate human, industry and economy. It calls for more considerations on how to combine the cultural elements with the project.

Excellence Group • Tang Jia Wan, Zhuhai (Schematic Design Project)

Judge’s comments: The first few projects presented are all excellent. There is only one suggestion from me that when you are doing the presentation, it will be better to show the most outstanding part of your design instead of flipping over the PowerPoint that frequently.

Judge’s comments: Due to the site’s restriction, the renovation has little space for the designer to play. It is not an easy thing to realize such a concise but exquisite design. The well-considered scale and clear circulation really touch me. I am sure it will be an excellent project and the design will be positively beneficial for selling in the future.

China Overseas • Glory City - Demonstration Area, Chengdu (Construction Project)

Judge’s comments: The project is really nice. When we design, we have to think about how to coordinate with the clients, the architects, the interior designers and even the engineers; how to persuade the clients with our profession; how to lead the clients to realize perfect implementation and showcase the project; how to build brand awareness for the clients; how to realize the clients’ vision.

Taikang Community • Yue Garden, Guangzhou (Construction Project)

Judge’s comments: Firstly, we’d better make the project positioning clearly that it is a real estate project or a sanatorium project. I think in order to realize a satisfying landscape effect and create favorable functionalities, it will be better to do a survey on what kind of activity space that the elderly living in Taikang Community are seeking for. It will be a challenge to make a breakthrough in Lingnan Culture.

Aim Group • City Center – Phase V, Shenzhen (Schematic Design Project)

Judge’s comments: The plan, detailed design as well as the presentation of this project are all brilliant. But I want to raise up one key question that is how much time you might need to combine the client’s expectation with your design. Actually, it is the designer’s ability. While in the perspective of the company, it belongs to cost management.

Luofu Pure Land Memorial Park – Entrance Park (Construction Project)

Judge’s comments: SED has undertaken many types of projects which mainly serve people, like residential community, aging community etc. This project is a very special one since it is place making for people who have passed away. We can figure out from the plan the cemetery is very big and the tomb area is located in the back. But the design seems only focus on the front part which plays as a guiding area. From the point of design, I will more concentrate on the relationship between the guiding area and tomb area, which is also the client’s concern I think.

Judge’s comments: The biggest challenge for this type of project I think is how to separate the circulation of sightseeing and sacrifice, how to create a memorial park where the visitors could stay to enjoy the views without any discomfort caused by sacrifice.

Judge’s comments: This type of project calls for strong sequence sense. The land’s texture should be taken into consideration when you are going to build the space.

China Merchants • Evian Uptown, Chengdu (Schematic Design Project)

Judge’s comments: The project is well presented. The design of ornaments and details are thoroughly considered. It would be great if the details like these could be introduced into the municipal projects. Additionally, the designer’s presentation skills should be improved, say how to extract the design ideas within limited time, how to use language to attract people’s attention.

Vanke • Star of East River – Demonstration Area (Construction Project)

Judge’s comments: The client requests for a permanent design of the demonstration area, but in the meanwhile, hope part of the demonstration area could be for commercial use in the future. It has to be carefully considered how to deal with the conflict caused.

China Resources • Haikou Plot II (Schematic Design Project)

Judge’s comments: The presentation is excellent, the functionality is comprehensive and the circulation is well-considered. Due to the society’s fast-paced development, new concepts such as Internet plus and sharing economy are causing great impacts on our lives. As a designer, we should act as the life’s forerunner.

BRC • One Park Mansion – Demonstration Area (Construction Project)

Judge’s comments: The details of this project are perfectly created and the space looks spiritually dynamic. The demonstration area should present sense of ceremony and the community’s essential design, which could provide a visualized feeling for the client on the product.

Nansha International Cruise Terminal (Schematic Design Project)

Judge’s comments: The project is particularly rich in its content. First of all, it is a cruise terminal which at the meanwhile, functions as the crew’s dwelling and commercial space. Its diversified functionalities make extremely big challenge for the designers. There are several aspects need considerations, for example: how to create the landscape which could perfectly respond to the landmark building? How to work out a circulation which could guide the visitors appropriately?
