The concept of the project is Floating Island. The whole 350 block (Shopping Street), as in the main street，is defined as Avenue Island Space, where the external set-up is available, for extending the commercial space and providing an open interacting field. The section along the bank is defined as Water Island Space. The designer set a pathway connecting the south and the north, combining several multifunctional experiencing spaces. Every function space is closely connected to the surroundings, the architecture, the boulevard and the pathway along the river will all merge in one general landscape.
