COMPETITION BACKGROUND
The 2023 Lingshui Marine Fishing Rows International Architectural Design Competition is sponsored by Tourism, Culture, Radio, Television and Sports Bureau of Lingshui Li Autonomous County and Lingshui Li Autonomous County Development Holding Group Co., Ltd., and undertaken by AIM International Design Competition and SMART Holiday Industry Intelligence Platform. Sincerely Global design agencies are invited to participate and imagine the song of Lingshui Danjia·Sea Nomad together.
Located in the southeast of Xincun Town in Lingshui Li Autonomous County, Xincun Port Lagoon is narrow and wide inside with good wind shelter conditions as the national central fishing port, which has unique Tanka folk culture and abundant natural tourism resources.
Located on Xincun Port Lagoon, the aquatic fishing row village has become a unique cultural landscape in Lingshui. The aquatic city of over 400 fishing rows in Xincun Port has become the best-preserved settlement of Tanka culture. The fishing rows is a type of house that combines aquaculture and daily life, where the Tanka people live self-sufficiently. It brings wealth to the Tanka community and becomes an important cultural carrier for daily life and public social interaction.
AIM CHALLENGE
Lingshui, Hainan, located at the mysterious resort latitude of 18°N, has 500 years of history and culture. The Tanka people who live here make their living and home from the sea, and are called “Sea Gypsies”. The Tanka fishing row is also an intangible cultural heritage protection project in Hainan Province.
The competition theme is “Lingshui Sea Nomadic Imagination”, and we chose the sea Tanka fishing rows of Lingshui Xincun Port around the lagoon as the carrier to explore the unique way of living in the South China Sea, experience the local culture and landscape, While responding to the government’s needs, the project also aims to improve the quality of life for the residents around the lagoon and fishing rows in Xinchun Town and to create a sustainable and diverse public space that will ultimately resonate with the local people, space, and culture.
