BEACON ON RIVER BANK – MAOZHOU RIVER INDUSTRIAL CIVILIZATION EXHIBITION HALL

The project is located at the junction of Maozhou River (Dongbao River), which is the boundary river of Dongguan, and Renminchong. Maozhou River, as the boundary river between Shenzhen and Dongguan, is indispensable to the industrial development of Shenzhen and Dongguan. The project plans to build Maozhou River Industrial Civilization Exhibition Hall on the river bank, to link industrial civilization with the site’s memory with “Maozhou River” as the narrative line. In regard to design concepts, a public streamline of panorama hall from floor to roof is built to lead citizens to climb up and view the river bank symbolizing industrial civilization. Meanwhile, the iconicity of watch tower on roof is strengthened in design. The beacon, which watches the whole river bank, guides the development direction of Dongguan’s industrial civilization.
