OCT BAY
Company: ECA2 Location: Shenzhen, China
Laguarda.Low and OCT’s highly anticipated urban retail / entertainment destina- tion celebrated a soft opening on 6 August 2011. OCT Bay, one of the largest, most modern and eagerly-awaited retail / entertainment destinations in China, features 300,000 sq metres of retail, hospitality and entertainment offerings, elegantly poised around a beautiful manmade lake overlooking the Shenzhen Bay. The open-air waterfront neighbourhood in the East Village has welcomed its first visitors to a range of attractions. Among the world class features at OCT Bay is global event designer ECA2’s breathtaking ‘Mangrove Groove’, the largest fully- automated water shows in China. The multimedia show includes water, fountains, fire, and a 40 metre multimedia bird. Other permanent features include a boutique hotel, an open-air stage, restaurants, bars and shopping features. The ECA2 team was selected to design and produce the 38-minute multimedia show, a process which took 28 months in total, and resulted in the world’s largest aquatic stage measuring 5,600 sq metres. Every evening, up to 5,000 spectators celebrate the ‘return of the birds’ in a spectacular environment. Mangrove Groove presented a new artistic and technological challenge for the team, as it set about about bringing a representation of the various forces of na- ture, staging the four elements, merged with the magic of captivating images. This involves light, air, fire and water.
