Re-thinking The Future Awards
Triple-Dike wins 3rd prize at RTF Awards 2021
We are very proud that our Triple-Dike project in Shenzhen (CN) won third prize at Re-thinking The Future Awards 2021.
Powerful place
Team KCAP + Felixx developed a new dike typology whereby the local and social context of the existing coastal communities were taken into account at the same time. This approach is exemplary for our role as landscape architects in the world of today. The challenges our environment is facing, force us to move away from monofunctional environments, and instead turn landscapes into complex hybrids: uniting scenic experiences with intelligent functioning systems. Therefore we are both engineering and designing landscapes, maximizing environmental impact by creating powerful places. We feel that Typhoon-Proof Shenzhen East Coast is exactly such a powerful place.
According to the jury, East Dike is "a visionary project" and is "[…] defining new architectural language[…]".
Congratulations
Felixx congratulates our clients and collaborators: KCAP , Deltares, Hope Landscape & Architecture, and China Water Transport Planning & Design Institute.
