London-based architectural practice Office for Architectural Culture (OAC) has completed the masterplan and architectural concept for the Tanmen International Oceanic Fishing Culture Centre and Museums project on the southern island of Hainan, China.

OAC was commissioned in November 2011 by the client, Yujiao Cultural & Tourist Development, to work up designs for the 650,000m2 project, following a closed international competition. Charles Phu, design director and founder of OAC, said the aim of the scheme was to create a “living museum” around the historic site, which is renowned for the development of maritime navigation skills.
