To promote the development of Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA) and its cultural exchanges and cooperation, the city of Guangzhou decides to upgrade and redevelop the Asian Games venues in Haixinsha into GBA Music Museum (the Museum or the Project). In this context, an open call for prequalification is launched to solicit competent and experienced design teams to participate in the design bidding of the project and ensure high-quality project planning and construction.
1. Project Profile
Located at the intersection where the city’s new central axis meets the Pearl River, Haixinsha enjoys a prominent location. Originally a barrack, it was developed into the main venues for the opening/closing ceremony of the 16th Asian Games in Guangzhou. With the Pearl River as stage and the city as a backdrop, the opening/closing ceremony presented the unparalleled modernity and vitality of the city.
Site Location
On the south, Haixinsha faces the Canton Tower, a new city icon, as well as other cultural facilities like the Guangzhou Broadcast and TV Station Headquarters, Guangzhou Daily Headquarters and three culture projects under construction, namely, Guangzhou Museum, Guangzhou Science and Technology Museum and Guangzhou Art Museum. On the north, it connects the Huacheng Square, known as the city’s showcase, the four representative public buildings including Guangzhou Opera House, Guangdong Museum, Guangzhou Library and Guangzhou Children’s Activity Center and the Central Business District (CBD). Meanwhile, it neighbors the Xinghai Concert Hall, Guangdong Art Museum and Guangdong Gymnasium on the west and the Finance City and the Internet Innovation Agglomeration Zone on the east.
The Central Axis
Haixinsha Island covers an area of 170,000 square meters. Currently, it has a built area of about 119,000 square meters, including 98,000 square meters of venues (including underground space) in the West Zone and 21,000 square meters of former barrack in the East Zone. Together with the Canton Tower, Huacheng Square, and the Pearl River night cruise, it has become a popular attraction and an important tourist distribution center and destination in Guangzhou.
