International Design Competition
/ / Kaohsiung Port and Cruise Service Center > Taiwan

This gateway is designed to serve as a physical and economical impetus to the City’s goal of transforming its waterfront from its industrial past into an inviting future.

Recognized as a finalist entry for the Kaohsiung Port and Cruise Service Center competition, the design envisions an iconic gateway to the city, and a lens into the outer-world visualized from within.

The proposed 300,000-SF, eight-story terminal is efficient, adaptive, and lucid while fostering a poetic and interactive space that embraces a vibrant urban serendipity. The program consists of cruise and international ferry terminals, 700-space subterranean parking garage, and a Port Bureau office. In a quest for calmness in the occasion of traveling, interior spaces are bathed with comfortable natural light and vistas to ocean and city to create an uplifting experience to maritime travelers and commuters.
