Experiences of urban creativity has emerged everywhere, which have been increasingly received attention and arisen resonance.
No matter how much the space area is or how big the investment is, creativity is always a popular topic.

This is a time that creativity is life. Designers, with a firm belief in “Creativity First”, are seeking for powers that can inspire life all the time. They don’t want to be copied mechanically, or to live in an orthodox and mediocre way.
Creativity and changes are everywhere today.

IDEA BOX, through planning, design, implementation and operation of small space, aims to reflect and explore combining business with urban public space and landscape art forms. In addition to bringing creativity to leisurely life in public squares and neighborhoods, IDEA BOX also shows designers’ unique creativity to the public. IDEA BOX will set the works which are designed by well-known designers and artists in Shenzhen Bay Ave in Nanshan Central Distict. This is an interesting try and has a possibility to be enlarged and continued.

Venue Introduction
Shenzhen Nanshan Central District, which is receiving increasing attention, has gradually been made into a mature business culture center with construction in the fields like commerce, culture, fashion consumption and high-grade commercial office accommodation. Shenzhenwan Ave links residential areas, business and culture together, including important street nodes for leisure and entertainment life of citizens such as Haide Square and Wenxin Square. Nanshan Central District is designed to enrich citizens’ activities in public places, to highlight the creativity and design of Shenzhen as a design capital, and to explore and discover the combination of urban public art and business in this area. Furthermore, it would be very meaningful to form a unique creative atmosphere and to bring the public audience more interactive functions by these designs.
