RESEARCH ABSTRACT: The whole project follows several rivers of different sizes along their course throughout cities with dissimilar economic situations, degrees of development, residents living conditions, regional culture, and construction situations. Our signage system is designed to showcase the distinctive ecological belts and regions, to live up to local financial needs, and to highlight the features of charming and picturesque rivers and lakes in Guangdong province.
CHALLENGE: The construction of Guangdong Ecological Belt plays a public benefit publicity role in demonstrating and leading the ecological civilization construction across the country. It can popularize relevant knowledge about water conservancy culture and governance, and raise public awareness on the preservation of water sources. Moreover, it creates a connection between the local historical and cultural characteristics, contributing to the establishment of a high-quality iconic image this project.
