东江之星万科首铸广场位于东莞万江区宏远路，港口大道和鸿福西路三大主干道交汇处。是万江区域的中心，政府希望有一个地标型的雕塑揭示其方位性，所以在接到这个项目的时候，就要求对当地的历史文化以及地名表达做出回应。东莞万科集团非常希望这个装置能在体现形式上尽量当代。

Dongjiang Star Vanke Shouzhu Plaza is located in Wanjiang, Dongguan District at the intersection of the three main roads, Hongyuan Road, Harbor Avenue and Hongfu West Road. It is the centre of Wanjiang. The government hopes there’ll be a landmark sculpture to indicate its orientation. Therefore, when this project is being conceived, it is required to respond to the local history culture and the expressions of place names. Dongguan Vanke Group as the contractor of the project does hope the expressive form could be as contemporary as possible.

基于两方面的诉求，通过对万江地区历史以及资料的整理， 在对场地做出回应的同时，将地图抽象以及万江区最为重要的“水”作为主题元素，有了“潮起万江”的初步概念。

Based on the two requirements and the research of the history data of Wanjiang region, the abstracted map and the most important “river” in Wanjiang District were used as the theme elements to respond to the site, and the preliminary concept of “Rising Tide” was formed.
