This project, located in the Nancheng District, Dongguan City is a series of islands between two waterways in a natural setting. The program is to create a center of innovation recalling the Chinese tradition of “scholarship in the garden” which translated to today is “research and innovation in the garden”. The plan connects a series of centers that are interconnected workspaces designed around courtyards and are connected to a winding path “spine” that connects each end of the site, focusing on a changing view of the natural environment and collaboration and development of the many intellectual perspectives within the larger community ensemble.
