The 2023 Lingshui Marine Fishing Rows International Architectural Design Competition is sponsored by Tourism, Culture, Radio, Television and Sports Bureau of Lingshui Li Autonomous County and Lingshui Li Autonomous County Development Holding Group Co., Ltd., and undertaken by AIM International Design Competition and SMART Holiday Industry Intelligence Platform. Sincerely Global design agencies are invited to participate and imagine the song of Lingshui Danjia·Sea Nomad together.
Located in the southeast of Xincun Town in Lingshui Li Autonomous County, Xincun Port Lagoon is narrow and wide inside with good wind shelter conditions as the national central fishing port, which has unique Tanka folk culture and abundant natural tourism resources.
Located on Xincun Port Lagoon, the aquatic fishing row village has become a unique cultural landscape in Lingshui. The aquatic city of over 400 fishing rows in Xincun Port has become the best-preserved settlement of Tanka culture. The fishing rows is a type of house that combines aquaculture and daily life, where the Tanka people live self-sufficiently. It brings wealth to the Tanka community and becomes an important cultural carrier for daily life and public social interaction.
Lingshui, Hainan, located at the mysterious resort latitude of 18°N, has 500 years of history and culture. The Tanka people who live here make their living and home from the sea, and are called "Sea Gypsies". The Tanka fishing row is also an intangible cultural heritage protection project in Hainan Province.
The competition theme is “Lingshui Sea Nomadic Imagination”, and we chose the sea Tanka fishing rows of Lingshui Xincun Port around the lagoon as the carrier to explore the unique way of living in the South China Sea, experience the local culture and landscape, While responding to the government’s needs, the project also aims to improve the quality of life for the residents around the lagoon and fishing rows in Xinchun Town and to create a sustainable and diverse public space that will ultimately resonate with the local people, space, and culture.

Emphasis will be placed on the degree of integration of the design with the local cutural resources in Xincun Lagoon, including the excavation and use of local materials, the refinement of local cultural elements, and the implantation of local culture and activities.
Includes whether the conceptual planning and design integrated with the overall environmental atmosphere of the surrounding area and has consistency and coherence with the planning and design of Lingshui Xincun Lagoon itself.
Includes the subsequent operability of the design implementability, taking into account capital and construction costs, and the ability to close the loop with the space businesses that will subsequently move in.
This competition openly invites domestic and foreign architectural designers, including the functional design of fishing rows dwellings and fishing raft business forms. It is open to relevant professionals across the country, who can participate in the name of individuals or companies.
The design should reflect the cultural characteristics of the Lingshui New Village Lagoon, fully respect and present the historical spirit of local culture and the new era, conduct in-depth research on the local ecology, culture and tourism, historical resources, etc., and explore new construction models for future rural development.
The design needs to be operationally feasible, explore operational flexibility, and achieve efficient use of space. The sustainability of the building must be considered in terms of material usage, construction techniques, and operational energy consumption.
The design requires a systematic optimization of the overall space to create a new characteristic spatial image that matches the Lingshui New Village lagoon, and an integrated planning of the space and business pattern to provide new quality connotations that can support the rural revitalization of Lingshui New Port Village.
