Q&A



Q: Both the masterplan for the Shanshui Green Corridor and the one for the Natian Flower Farm seem extremely detailed. Can some of the buildings planned for the area be altered or moved from what´s already detailed? Can larger areas of this landscape be altered as well?
A: The submission should keep all of the existing buildings on the CAD drawings. The main landscape can be upgraded but changed, e.g. the alteration of small areas.

Q: Is the objective of the competition to address only one site in particular or we can work over several areas?

Q: When you say that the proposal has to be "constructible", can you give us an idea of what order of values you consider to be feasible?
