The plant sits on a peninsula at the confluence of the Yamen and Hutiaomen waterways, backed by mountains and facing the sea. The site lies between the Coastal Expressway and Jiangmen Avenue, with two nearly parallel traffic arteries defining its elongated shape. This land-sea intersection makes it a visual focus for both vehicles and vessels.
Jiangmen, located in the western Pearl
River Delta, has been a hub of waterborne transport since ancient times and an
important node on the Maritime Silk Road. The sails that once traversed its
waters are not only part of the city's historical memory but also a powerful
local symbol. We adopt the sail as the architectural concept, responding to the
site's location and cultural context. The large-scale forms evoke layers of
sails navigating between mountains and sea. The sail represents ancient wisdom,
harnessing wind to propel ships. Waste-to-energy technology represents modern
wisdom, transforming waste into valuable energy. Thus, the sail becomes a
metaphor for energy conversion and utilization.
