Earlier this year, the new Shenzhen Maritime Museum proposal by 3XN Architects, B+H Architects, and Zhubo Design was selected among the Top 3 finalists in the international competition.
The design proposal, entitled ?The Tide?, creates a harmony between the city of Shenzhen and the nature that surrounds it. The vision behind the collaborative team’s design for the Shenzhen Maritime Museum was inspired by Shenzhen’s aquatic world and the local ecosystem present in Logqi bay. The architects drove a continuous expression of this mysterious world, “starting from the water and bringing its greatness into the land.”

This backbone also supports easy orientation in the building, bringing the visitors from the ground entrance to the main heart space on the first level, where everything is connected to. Ever inspired by the sea, when entering the Tide?s interior spaces, guests will dive into the museum?s ocean of knowledge, swimming from one space to another, following the different streams of the thematic exhibitions?”guests seamlessly stream through the museum?s thematic exhibitions unlocking their secrets and discoveries along the way.”
