Location: Tianjin, China.

Architect: TONTSEN Architects.

Tianjin, a port city, has long been a booming centre for maritime trade. It has produced a storied history of trade and manufacturing since its founding in modern times. Tianjin New Port has left a space for social transformation and the replacement of old and new buildings on the coast, docks, and shipyards, acting as a window to history.

The historic shipyard section of Tianjin Xingang Shipyard served as Metropolitan Port City’s original location. It has evolved through time, much like many other historic enterprises in Tianjin, with the tide of urbanisation.
