Shekou – A Fusion of Transformation, A New Perception

Shekou was once a brilliant chapter in Shenzhen’s reform and opening-up journey and the "eye of the storm" behind China’s economic miracle; looking back today, we should not merely regard it as a symbol or an abstract representation of a certain innovative spirit. The pioneering nature of Shekou is reflected not only in the in-depth integration of "national strategies" and "market mechanisms" and the building of a business environment shifting from a "regulatory-oriented" model to a "service-oriented" one, but also in the improvement of living formats and the solid foundation of industry and shipping—these integrative transformations have ultimately fostered a vibrant landscape of all-round renewal. With the support of LOOK AI, real-time rendering is directly applied to drafts to continuously refine complex surface shapes and external outlines, while endowing them with colors and fabrics that embody both historical profundity and the spirit of the times; during the exploration of garment shaping, these time-space-intertwined visual elements are freely blended and integrated without boundaries, eventually woven into a grand yet unified garment language. The overall shape creates an exaggerated silhouette through the stacking of folds and interweaving of square/circular and streamlined forms, with its interior supported by a three-dimensional structure to form a visual style rich in tension and spatial sense. This work aims to demonstrate Shekou’s integration and transformation: in the contemporary era, it has not only injected sustained momentum into China’s vast society for development but also brought profound inspiration to every individual today. A new interpretation of the Shekou spirit helps us grasp the important spiritual essence in Shekou’s development process, which is not only of great benefit to design thinking but also guides individuals’ life journeys as a precious spiritual force enabling us to move forward steadily and farther.

蛇口，曾是深圳改革开放历程中浓墨重彩的一笔，是中国经济奇迹的 “风暴之眼”；而今回望，我们不应仅将其视作一个象征，或某种创新精神的抽象代表。蛇口的先锋性，不仅体现在实现 “国家战略” 与 “市场机制” 的深度融合，构建从 “管控型” 向 “服务型” 转变的营商环境，还体现在生活业态的完善、工业与航运的坚实根基 —— 正是这些融合性的变革，最终催生出万象更新的蓬勃局面。配合 LOOK AI，直接对草稿进行实时渲染，不断打磨复杂的表面造型与外部轮廓，并赋予兼具历史厚重感与时代精神的色彩和面料。在服装成型的探索过程中，将这些时空交错的视觉要素自由杂糅、无界融合，最终织入一套宏大而统一的服饰语言之中。整体造型通过褶皱的堆叠、方圆与流线的交错组合，塑造出夸张廓形；内部以立体结构支撑，形成富有张力与空间感的视觉形态。作品旨在展现蛇口的融合与变革：它在当代既为庞大的中国社会注入了持续发展的动能，也为每一个当代个体带来深刻启迪。对蛇口精神的新解读，能帮助我们把握蛇口发展历程中的重要精神底色，这不仅对设计思维大有裨益，也能指引个人的生命历程，成为助我们行稳致远的宝贵精神力量。
