Chinese University of Hong Kong (Shenzhen) Phase II Schematic Design and Architectural Design Development Proposal

For the competition rggA proposed Habitat Bridges that will be “propagating spaces” of the campus as the main conceptual approach.

The proposed habitat bridges were designed accommodate a new life and public space to students and visitors for whom want to perceive the campus in a new way. Designed as a vivid and dynamic space for not only students but also for visitors, the bridges would also house a plenty of lush vegetation, various kinds of local plants, urban fixtures, bicycle and walking pathways. The main aim of these bridges is to activate the whole campus with new type of structure that provides a minimum footprint and lift up for the circulation to the upper level within the campus. Thanks to these bridges, students and new visitors will be able to perceive the campus in a new dimension and liveable way, as well as its tranformative force with an unfamiliar aesthetic rather than a static physical implementations to the campus. The habitat bridges were planned to be living organisms of the campus.
