The work is divided into two parts.

The first part:
The conceptual planning of the two-story slow traffic system in Houhai Centre. (The total length is about 3918 meters and the gross area is about 21,549 m2. The scope is shown below.)

(1)     Content details:

The conceptual planning of the two-story slow traffic system should include: the conceptual positioning of the two-story slow traffic system, its specific route, the division of its functions and themes, its space form, its connections with surrounding buildings and ground floor space, etc.

(2)     Design requirements:

• The planning should aim to highlight Houhai’s status in the Greater Bay Area of Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao, reflect the characteristics of Headquarters’ economy in Houhai, and combine the themes of scientific and technological innovation, art and culture, to create a first-class two-story corridor system.
• The planning should be considered in conjunction with the land function and space form of the public cultural land in the south side and the commercial land in the north side.
• The planning should pay attention to the connection among important transportation nodes, cultural facilities, underground space, and ground public space.
• The planning should take the characteristics of surrounding plots into consideration, to basically meet the actual situation and needs of the owners of the plots around the second-floor pedestrian system.

The second part (core task):
The multi-dimensional space design for East Section of Shenzhen Bay Avenue. (Including the 2nd floor corridor, about 980 meters, the ground floor linear landscape, about 18,100 m2, and the underground space, about 40,660 m2 per floor, 2 layers are proposed. The scope is shown below.)

(1)     Content details:

• The general plan for the multi-dimensional space.
• Plans for each floor (the 2nd floor, ground floor and underground space).
• The overall space form, traffic organization, vertical design, structure and underground architecture design, renderings of important nodes, underground space functions and streamlines, etc.

(2)     Design requirements:

• The design should clarify the connection method and space form between the proposed multi-dimensional space and the ground transportation, Metro line 13, the current two-story slow traffic system, the public cultural land in the south side, and surrounding public facilities and development land.
• An integral and integrated design is required for the underground space, and the large foundation pit is prioritized.
• It is necessary to establish control conditions to guide the development and construction of the surrounding area not included in the design scope.
• It is recommended to form a joint team composed of designers professional in landscape, architecture, underground space, structure, urban planning and design to participate in the competition.

The competition will open to public, all domestic and foreign design companies, who has relative planning and design experience, are welcoming. Joint design team is allowed, but any members of the joint can’t participate again in the competition in their own name or in another joint with other design companies. Individual application by person is not allowed.

A team with similar experience as below will be given priority to:

(1)     Having rich experience in public landscape and environment creation.

(2)     Having experience in urban underground space design.

(3)     Having experience in slow walkway and air bridge structure design.

(4)     Having experience in planning and design for culture, art and leisure business.

(5)     Having experience in developing the same type of project or participating in similar competitions in China.
