Perched on a peninsula where waterways converge, this waste-to-energy power plant commands a prominent position against mountains facing the sea. This site echoes Jiangmen's heritage as a Maritime Silk Road hub, where sailing ships symbolized the city's spirit. Inspired by the sail, our design captures the image of vessels navigating between peaks and ocean. The sail embodies ancient wisdom—harnessing wind to propel ships—while waste-to-energy technology represents modern innovation: transforming trash into energy. Thus, the sail becomes a metaphor for energy conversion and utilization.
