BACKGROUND

Shipai Town, located in the northeast of Dongguan City, Guangdong Province, is close to the Dongjiang River and enjoys the coastline of the Dongjiang River alone for 14 kilometres.  The discovery of the Longan Gangbei Mound culture site confirms the human civilization history of more than 5,000 years in Shipai.  Here not only has a strong history and culture and rich ecological resources, but the cultural and creative industry also has a bright future.  The advantaged natural resources and the advantage of industries gave birth to the local tide play industry, domestic enterprises to "original IP + + design production sales" mode of the operation of the whole industry chain, driving the ShiPai of toy foundry enterprises gradually towards the IP top trending new formats.

We are excited by the valuable ancient village style and rich industrial base left by ShiPai. At the same time, we are also clearly aware that the village here is also facing the same problems as many other places, such as the reuse of idle village space resources, the construction of a community with continuous vitality, and the innovation and creation of Shipai Cultural Tourism IP, etc. How do we use the power of diverse art design to inject youthful dynamism and new ideas into the countryside?

To solve these problems, we conducted a space design competition in the name of a rural fashionable aesthetics experiment to continuously improve the design spirit and began injecting new vitality into the ShiPai.

Adhering to the concept of a "rural hip play life aesthetics experiment", we hope to use the power of design to make Shipai Town "a demonstration area showing how to establish a relationship between rural and hip play new business forms".  Invite architects and artists from all over the world to a country with top tending to create numerous works, and through these works, build a network so that those who are disappearing of the natural environment, customs, village, etc. Get the regeneration and rejuvenation to those who are in the process of gradual growth trend, get development continuously and spread of new forms, a flat ShiPai become creative design bus, to achieve the purpose of a prosperous region.
