JET Architecture in joint venture with CXT Architects was among the five firms selected to advance to the second stage of the Kaohsiung Port and Cruise Service Center International Competition in September 2010. In the second stage JET and CXT teamed with the local Taiwanese firm Archasia Design Group and earned an Honorable Mention.

Functionally, the Port and Cruise Service Center is designed to facilitate the movement of passengers, tourists and clients, nationally and internationally. Its aim is to energize Kaohsiung’s waterfront through contemporary architecture to improve public connectivity and to meet the cultural and recreational needs of the city. The new terminal will be an iconic gateway to Kaohsiung and the focal point of a vibrant new waterfront district.

The Openair concept informs all aspects of the building design. It is a sustainable strategy for climatic control based on first principles of shelter and natural ventilation. Openair addresses the very specific parameters of a sub-tropical environment and includes calibrated systematic responses to the climatic conditions without compromising function or human comfort.

Openair is about people in a natural environment, experiencing proximity to the sea and capturing the sea breezes. The attendant visceral awareness of the sea is heightened where the building design promotes visual and sensory connection to Kaohsiung’s waterfront.
