Architecture Design Competition of the Conceptual Design of Shenzhen Airport East Integrated Transport Hub and the Main Building
Project Overview
Shenzhen Airport East Integrated Transport Hub (hereinafter referred to as the “AirportEast Hub”) is located in the core of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau Greater Bay Area and Guangzhou-Shenzhen-Hong Kong Economic Belt, which is the key area of economic and urban development in the west of Shenzhen. As an important part for Shenzhen to construct the international aviation hub and national railway hub, the Airport East Hub will integrate various modes of transport, such as aviation, high-speed railway, intercity railway, urban rail transit, bus, taxis and car, etc., and take the air-rail intermodal transportation as the main development direction. According to the planning, the Airport East High-speed Railway Station (Shenzhen Airport Station) will be set up underground in line with the scale of 6 stations and 14 lines, so as to provide arrival and departure service to Shenzhen-Maoming Railway and other lines; terminals A and B are considered to be demolished and the new Terminal 1 will be built here to achieve seamless connection with the Airport East Hub; metro lines 1, 12, 20 & 26 will be introduced into the hub as the connected with Shenzhen-Daya Bay Intercity Railway and the airport’s rapid transit system.

If necessary, it may not be limited to this scope.
The architectural design of the integrated transport hub and its superstructure is the focus of the Solicitation. In such an area with complex traffic conditions and limited construction conditions, carry out overall design for the integrated transport hub (including high-speed railway, intercity railway, urban rail transit, rapid transit system, motor vehicles and other traffic facilities)and its superstructure development, define the layout plan, circulation and vertical layout of the building, realize the seamless connection and integrated design for various functions, and bring forward a practical and feasible development plan and phased implementation suggestions for the integrated transport hub and superstructure property development.
2. Architectural concept design of the hub area: The design scope is enclosed by Hangzhan 6th Road, Bao’an Avenue and Xinghua Road, with an area of 67.7 ha. If necessary, it may not be limited to this scope.
By referring to the successful experience of domestic and international air-rail intermodal hubs, conduct research on the overall planning for the terminal, integrated transport hub and the whole hub area; sort out the connection relationship between each plot in the hub area, define the layout plan of each underground floor and structural reservation plan, carry out the architectural concept design for the hub area in terms of the functional organization, traffic circulation, 3D spatial form, landscape and key section, etc., so as to achieve integration among function, traffic, style and image of the hub area.
Architectural Concept Design Scope of the Hub Area and Architectural Scheme Design Scope of the Integrated Transport Hub and Its Superstructure
3. Comprehensive transportation planning: The planning scope is identical to the design scope of the hub area, and its research scope covers the area enclosed by current terminals A&B, Hangzhan 4th Road, Jichang South Road, Guangzhou-Shenzhen Expressway and Fuzhou Avenue. If necessary, it may not be limited to this scope.
Comprehensively consider the distribution traffic and access traffic of property development in the hub, put forward the traffic organization proposal as well as the layout planning concerning road system, slow traffic system, parking system and other facilities; optimize the access traffic organization, and propose the traffic network planning and important section design combined with the overall traffic demand of the Hub, so as to form an efficient and coordinated integrated traffic system.
