Architects often create presentations and bids for projects, and are pitted against other firms to win the work. But rarely do firms get the chance to design an entire island. There was recently a winner for the South Sea Pearl Eco-Island competition. The entirely new island is to be built in the Chinese Bay of Hainan, and the proposals required housing, hotels, tourist attractions, as well as room for two cruise ships to dock. Take a look at the impressive proposal designs, including the winner, Diller, Scofidio + Benfro. Via Arch Daily, h/t to JM.

Wow.. Really creative
This is very impressive. I look forward to seeing real pictures of this island when or if it truly is built. Hopefully it gets built.
I Don’t KNOW MUCH ABOUT ARCHITECTURAL DESIGNS BUT I KNOW THESE ARE BEAUTIFUL
Nice
Wow! That is amazing!
Hi I like the idea of designing an island I also want to design mine
These are amazing designs, but I wonder about the environmental impact..
Very interesting pictures. Just to have a middle of the bay island created by man is impressive to say the least.
It’s so amazing imagination
