“Flowers in spring and autumn moonlight, breeze in the summer and winter snow-white” – Poem from the Song Dynasty.Since ancient times, the city of Qingdao has embraced arts, literature, and nostalgia. Moving forward in history, Wang Tongzhao wrote in the “Qingdao Sketch”: Every detail of the city is a combination of German loftiness, Japanese refinement, and Chinese minimalism. In the same manner, Qingdao is a city that brings out just the right amount of sophistication while cultivating a casual style.

The designer Ma Yiping thinks similarly: Qingdao’s history and modernity are like two pieces of art that go together. Time deconstruction superimposes and reorganizes cultural elements to restructure reality. Such is the case of Zhongzhou Peninsula City, a project developed by MYP Design using a deconstruction approach that reinterprets Qingdao’s traditional and contemporary elements.

The transportation network around the project is convenient. The large green landscape of the interior matches the interior and exterior areas of the riverside park. Such a concept creates a livable and free community sheltered by vast land, green areas, and gorgeous waterscapes.

Design deconstruction is a philosophical process, a worldview level understanding.

Perhaps, another facet of Qingdao’s character hides behind the ultimate design, embellished by history, culture and art; elements deconstructed and reorganized in the present: Zhongzhou Peninsula City.

The design approach reflects the life philosophy of the designer. In such a rich and fertile space, we understand the relationship between people and the world. In the flow of time, we grasp every detail of growth. A deconstructionist approach is observed in the graduation and overlap of structures, materials, and colors, forming a concise spatial aura from the original appeal of the space, stimulating emotions in the viewer.
