This project is committed to providing an incubator park for the Savannah Port on Hutcheson Island, north of Savannah’s urban area, with more living and working places for local shipping com panies and attracting more entrepreneurs to live and work here.
By using shape machine to analyze and reconstruct the local urban grid (Savannah Ward) of Savannah, we recognize and un derstand the importance of the savannah ward for local urban planning. In order to use the existing urban texture of the sa vannah in the design of the island technology park, our design is based on the concept of the fractal, which will reconstruct the savannah ward, thereby forming savannah wards of different siz es. With Solving the existing and potential problems of the site while inheriting the original urban texture and providing people with a variety of activity spaces.
In addition, with the continuous development of cities and the continuous progress of science and technology, people grad ually realize the importance of environmental protection and energy conservation and emission reduction. As a technology park design, we designed a parametric canopy with the unique oak tree in Savannah as a design element, which is committed to the concept of sustainable development and green building, through the use of passive design strategies to provide entre preneurs with a healthy, sustainable, and biophilic working and living environment.

Using shape machine to divide spaces in different ways, creating different scales of spaces that can put different functions in. Such attempts allows us to conceive the construction form of grids of different scales in the city, as well as the layout of the overall texture.
DESIGN IDEAS
CONSTRUCTING OVERALL MASTERPLAN
3. Add small-sized similar patterns around the central pattern to divide different levels of grids. MORPHOLOGICAL STUDY OF SHAPE MACHINE
1. The dna was extracted from the savannah plan as the basic shape of the road 5. Add the divided fractal grid into the site, and adjust the grid considering the roads around the site.
DESIGN OF CITY WATERWAYS
2. The largest-scale basic form is arranged in the center of the site, which becomes the core with important function.
4. Add a third-level pattern to divide the overall space of the site in more levels. Create different scales of passages.
6. The center of each fractal pattern is used as an outdoor public space, and a large park is placed in the waterfront area.

7. Introduce water sources, build circulating waterways that run through the site, and design the site in detail.
7. Arrange the waterfront wetland park, lay out the buildings, and generate a relatively overall general plan.
SITE WATER TREATMENT SYSTEM CONSTRUCTION
The rainfall is abundant and relatively humid in Savannah and the site is close to the Savannah River. How to improve the resilience of water resources, and how to combine water resources with regional landscape design is a goal in our design as well.

WETLAND AREAS
Combine the existing wetlands of the site to build rain gardens and wetland park, and construct ecological water channels to collect surface run-off in the site and discharge it into the Savannah River. While improving the resilience of water resources, it is also possible to control the waterway and collect water resources in combination with the height difference of the site. Further more, with the water invited into our district, locals can enjoy waterfront landscapes and different urban texture with water around.

1. The urban design of the central area start with the Savannah Ward.
2. Continue with the Fac tral idea, the central area separated with six differ ent parcels surrounding the initial square.
3. According to the Savan nah Ward, the buildings will be designed on the sites.
4. Based on the functions, the greenery space will be expand and provide more opening space for the en trepreneurs.
5. In order to provide more convenience and dy namic working experience, buildings will be connect ed by the path/bridges.
Fungus
symbiotic relationship
the initial idea of canopy design comes from a large number of oak trees in the area. In addition, the symbiotic relationship between trees, animals and fungi also gave us inspiration for the design of the incubator. In nature, plants provide nourishment and living space for fungi, and shelter and food for birds in trees. In the design, the canopy will collect rainwater and solar energy, which will provide water and energy for the buildings and green plants below.
