基地位于珠海北部的淇澳岛，占地面积27平方公里。由于极佳的地理位置和大量的人流，淇澳岛具有发展成为连接香港和深圳的门户。但是它面临着成为另一个以牺牲农田为代价的中国城市化进程的典型城市。水资源短缺，森林退化和工业污染已经在城市中体现。

新城市规划设计试图建立生态旅游策略已达到促进淇澳岛可持续发展的目标。设计涵盖了基地本身和自然资源，例如潮汐、本土植物群和季节性降水等。

It was in 2000 that the Chinese government formulated a plan to build 400 new cities by 2020, in order to install the migration coming from the countryside towards the new urban agglomerations.
This is the equivalent of 20 cities per week.

The site, located on the Qi'Ao Island, 27 square kilometer island in the north of Zhuhai, has the potential to become a gateway for Hong Kong - Shenzhen due to its strategic location and the increasing passenger flows through it. The island is threatened to become another generic Chinese urbanization that spread across farmlands. Thus the signs of scarcity of water resources, deforestation, fish farming and industrial pollution are already present.

Ecotransitional Urbanism started first with a research of new materials for the city with regards to performance and functionality. The project generated a rich base of indexes which traduce environmental, topographical and geographical parameters into a material ready to be use for the design. The spatial strategy that Ecotransitional Urbanism uses is an implementation of the relationship between the built and its context.

The project consists of a mesh as a model of density and diversity within an urban framework that seeks to understand, articulate, and visualize possibilities for the hyper dense, programmatic difference, and radically optimized new agglomerations in China.
