Establishing the harbour as the heart of Sanya’s cultural life
将港口打造成为三亚文化生活的中心
Situated on the southern tip of Hainan Island, China’s most southerly province with its tropical forests, mountain parks and white sand beaches welcoming over 80 million tourists each year, Sanya has grown to a city of over a million residents.
三亚位于中国最南端的海南岛南端,拥有热带森林、山地公园和白色沙滩,每年接待超过 8000 万游客,如今已发展成为一座拥有超过百万居民的城市。
Facing Sanya Bay, the harbour is the centre of the city’s leisure, shopping and business districts. Incorporating yachting marinas and one of China’s busiest cruise ship terminals, the harbour also includes the city’s commercial and fishing port.
该港口面向三亚湾,是三亚市休闲、购物和商业区的中心。港口内设有游艇码头和中国最繁忙的邮轮码头之一,同时也是三亚市的商业和渔港。


Located at the entrance to Sanya’s harbour, the new cultural district by ZHA is adjacent to the Jiangang Road terminus of Sanya’s tram network that connects many of the residential and hotel districts on Sanya Bay with the city’s high-speed rail station.
由 ZHA 设计的全新文化区位于三亚港入口处,毗邻三亚有轨电车网络的建港路终点站,该电车网络连接三亚湾沿岸的许多住宅区和酒店区与该市的高铁站。
Establishing the harbour as the heart of Sanya’s cultural life, the new district defines the city as a gateway to the tropical waters of Sanya Bay and beyond to the South China Sea.
该新区将港口打造为三亚文化生活的中心,使三亚成为通往三亚湾热带水域乃至南海的门户。




Layers of public terraces with panoramic views of the water
多层公共露台,可欣赏滨水全景
A central axis through the masterplan directly links the new harbourside district with the city’s existing urbanism and divides the cultural programming of its performing arts theatre and exhibition galleries from its commercial programming for conferences and trade fairs; both facilities share a new public square with sweeping views over the harbour that welcomes visitors, audiences and delegates to the events within.
总体规划中的一条中心轴线将新的海滨区与城市现有的城市规划直接连接起来,并将表演艺术剧院和展览馆的文化活动与会议和贸易展览的商业活动分开;这两个设施共享一个新的公共广场,可以俯瞰海港的壮丽景色,迎接游客、观众和代表参与其中的活动。
The centre’s layered roofs feather outwards and cascade from their highest points along this axis, framing the entrance lobbies of the performing arts theatre and the conference centre. Visible throughout the harbour and from Sanya Bay, these roofs softly reflect sunlight and appear to float above the water like sails in a sea breeze, defining an architectural landmark of ascending geometries that echo the mountainous landscapes of Hainan’s interior behind the city.
中心层叠的屋顶沿着这条轴线从最高点向外延伸,宛如羽翼般倾泻而下,勾勒出表演艺术剧院和会议中心的入口大厅。这些屋顶在整个海港和三亚湾清晰可见,它们柔和地反射着阳光,仿佛海风中的风帆漂浮在水面上,构成了一座建筑地标,其上升的几何形态与海南内陆城市背后的山峦地貌遥相呼应。



Gently rising from the ground surface of the district’s new public square to shelter the entrances of the cultural centre and conference centre, the roofs’ composition opens to face the harbour in layers of public terraces with panoramic views of the water.
屋顶从该地区新建的公共广场地面缓缓升起,遮蔽了文化中心和会议中心的入口,其结构面向港口,形成层层叠叠的公共露台,可欣赏到水景全景。
Connecting with the existing urbanism of the city centre, the cultural district’s 26.7 hectares incorporates new public plazas, gardens, marinas and harbourside boardwalk together with the cultural, exhibition and conference facilities designed to host the widest variety of performances and events by local, national and international artists, institutions and companies.
该文化区占地 26.7 公顷,与市中心现有的城市规划相连接,包含新的公共广场、花园、码头和海滨步道,以及文化、展览和会议设施,旨在举办本地、国内和国际艺术家、机构和公司举办的各种表演和活动。

Optimising natural indirect sunlight as well as natural ventilation
优化利用自然漫射光和自然通风
With a total of 409,000m2 of built area, the new harbourside district also includes city-centre residences and offices as well as hotels, shopping and dining amenities to serve the many millions of tourists who visit Sanya every year.
新的海滨区总建筑面积达 409,000 平方米,包括市中心住宅和办公楼,以及酒店、购物和餐饮设施,以服务每年到访三亚的数百万游客。
Located within Hainan’s tropical climate that is heavily influenced by monsoons, the cultural district’s architecture incorporates low-carbon design, procurement, construction and operational strategies with photovoltaics and rainwater collection embedded within the large roof areas that include deep overhanging eaves to shade the interiors and shelter the outdoor public terraces throughout the year.
该文化区位于受季风影响严重的海南热带气候区,其建筑融合了低碳设计、采购、建造和运营策略,在大面积屋顶区域嵌入了光伏发电和雨水收集系统,并设有深挑檐,可全年为室内遮阴并为室外公共露台提供遮蔽。


The district’s orientation, composition and landscaping are designed to optimise natural indirect sunlight as well as natural ventilation from cooling on-shore winds. A central plant is designed to include high-efficiency equipment and sea water heat exchangers for cooling. A smart building management system will automatically adjust shading, lighting and ventilation for optimum comfort and efficiencies.
该区域的朝向、布局和景观设计旨在最大限度地利用自然漫射光照以及来自海面的凉爽海风带来的自然通风。中央空调系统采用高效节能设备和海水热交换器进行制冷。智能楼宇管理系统将自动调节遮阳、照明和通风,以实现最佳的舒适度和能效。
Timber cladding on the underside of the cultural and conference centre’s roofs will be sourced from certified sustainable forests and selected for its resilience to local coastal weather conditions without chemical treatments. Procurement for each building within the district will prioritise the use of local and recycled materials.
文化会议中心屋顶内侧的木材将取自经认证的可持续森林,并选用无需化学处理即可抵御当地沿海气候条件的木材。该区域内每栋建筑的采购都将优先考虑使用本地材料和可回收材料。
