Entry for International Design Ideas Competition The gateway is about a
spatial progression—a unique experience within one’s journey to and from
Hong Kong.As part of the Ideas Competition, HMC created an
iconic gateway for a 20-mile bridge that links three regions in the
Pearl River Delta: Hong Kong, Zhuhai, and Macao. The design was
formed in direct response to the traffic and circulation flow patterns
of the facility users. It defines the experience by linking the offset
buildings of arrival and departure with a central canyon element. What
could be at once a hectic, rushed experience of customs, queues, and
kiosks, is instead, a relaxed, tranquil space that maximizes functional
efficiency, while also inviting visitors to explore the natural
vegetative beauty that makes up Southern China.
