Shenzhen Wenjindu Bus Terminal is located in the center of Shenzhen City, the Wenjindu Customs Gate, and is close to the Shenzhen-Hong Kong borderline. It is a large-scale and content-rich complex. The construction area of 38,000 square meters integrates various functions such as bus terminals, offices, driver’s apartments, and commercial facilities.

The building is on a highly narrow triangular site surrounded by dense high-rise buildings and viaducts.Because of the deformed, high-density, fragmented, and featureless urban environment, we get rid of the “tower + podium” practice of high-rise buildings. Instead, we compress all functions three-dimensionally into a single volume. A new architectural “Gestalt” is created to insert into the existing chaotic urban space, creating tension between the building and the surrounding environment.

We attempt to build “another high-density city” in a high-density and cluttered urban environment. It is highly integrated, creating an effect of “alienation” and alienation to the outside and a Provide a series of exciting public spaces to perform the never-ending drama of urban culture in which people, vehicles, and logistics are intertwined in three dimensions.
On the other hand, this highly “aesthetic” scheme does not neglect functional organization in the slightest.

The architectural design has done meticulous, analytical work on the landscape, orientation, sunlight, and relationship with the surrounding urban environment. This scheme can organize various complex streamlines (many people, vehicles, logistics) in three-dimensional space in such a narrow site. Orderly and achieve smooth and organic connection with the urban road network.
In short, the building is both an aesthetic work – with monumental forms and grand interiors – and a sophisticated machine – a machine closely linked to the urban network and driven by strict organizational relationships at high speed.

These two aspects go hand in hand..
