Currently in full-effect is an international competition to design a passenger terminal building spanning across the Shenzen River to connect the mainland to Hong Kong. As we await the jury's decision, one of the proposals caught our eye for the Liantang / Heung Yuen Wai boundary control point passenger terminal building came from Prague-based Edit! Architecture. Designed as a green-roofed building that floats over the river, the structure is clad in diamond-shaped multi-colored windows and references traditional Chinese landscapes at its roof. A single building spanning the river to symbolize the unification of the mainland and Hong Kong, Edit!'s terminal building could serve as a visually striking landmark and a gate for both cities.
