practice IROJE and dutch firm UNStudio. the artificial island is located about two kilometers northwest of HNA beach
and spa resort off the west coast of haikou. a planned investment of around RMB 8.4 billion ($1.26 billion USD) has
been allocated to build a cruise port and a yacht harbor, among a wide range of other amenities.

1st prize diller socfidio + renfro (also main image)

the final jury review for the competition was hosted by haikou municipal peoples government, organized by
HNA infrastructure, and coordinated by HNA design and the china building centre. vicente guallart, former chief
architect of barcelona, served the projects chief consultant a role which included developing the competitions brief
and strategic plan, and selecting both the architects and jury members.
new york-based studio diller scofidio + renfro was awarded first place in the competition, with the jury praising
the proposal for its singular and clear design. it would create a beautiful, iconic form rising naturally out the

landscape, recalling the volcanic caldera of the area, and shape the island into a continuous structure that would be an
extremely efficient compaction of resort, retail, and housing, the jury said in a statement. the design leaves the
remainder of the island as a place for cultural facilities, which include aquaculture, agriculture, and recreation.

2nd prize foster + partners

the second prize was awarded to foster + partners, with the jury particularly impressed with the firms idea of a
centrally positioned park, a major factor in attracting visitors. innovative technologies were also proposed, allowing
for intense agriculture and an efficient use of resources. the jury enjoyed the combination of learning, recreation, and
living programs that the architects developed. the third prize was awarded to morphosis, who shaped the island to
create an undulating park. meanwhile, housing is placed along the islands edges. see images of each of the proposals
below.
