Unique Solutions

• Proposed an intelligent R&D corridor strategically locating in direct contact on-site light industry manufacturers, global distributors with the airport, the harbor, and the convention center where they can readily showcase their new products.
• Provided a multi-level street network connected to the underground metro system which separated BRT, freight and logistics vehicles from pedestrians through an elevated central spine, and a peripheral ring which naturally slopes towards the water.
• Designed a 21st century ocean living edge which integrated flood prevention strategies to a mangrove revival plan. This enables the revitalization of the coastal ecology while promoting safe development of the shore.
