ZHOUSHAN Cultural Tourism Financial  Complex Project

The Zhoushan archipelago is in itself a geographic symbolization of our world and even a cosmological evocation. Each island has its own character, as a planet has its strangeness. The island’s poetic aspect arises from traces, memorial itineraries, from a vanished project, traces swallowed by water, lotus trees, and a few recent fragments of sheetpiles and concrete iron bars. 

This architectural attitude is a consequence of the realization of the passing of time, of times: times passed, times forgotten, present times and their inventions. The present is at once the threshold and the door to the future, surprises, and new, more and more hedonistic and optimistic lifestyles.
