Megalopolis X

Shenzhen Bay Super Headquarter Base is located on the southern edges of Shenzhen between Shenzhen Bay and Futian. If you look at Shenzhen as city in isolation, the“Base” covers all regions of Shenzhen in a shape of a semi circle. But if you look at the bigger picture in the context of Hong Kong and Shenzhen as a whole you will see that the “Base” is in the centre of the two cities, and in this perspective, it changes its context.

By 2047, the cities Shenzhen and Hong Kong will be one single megalopolis and with this Megacity comes a new centre. In the heart of this Megalopolis is Shenzhen Bay Super Headquarter Base here marked with an X, a centre where all technological creations in the Greater Bay Area begin.

QUAD studio believes that Megalopolis X can exist as the centre and heart of the Megalopolis. But, it is not enough by just calling it the centre, it must contain core attribute that makes it the true centre and the innovative brain of the Greater Bay Area.
Imagine a city based on cutting edge technology with futuristic nature and contemporary arts all fused together for a city of creative polymaths for the year 2050?
We are one of 15 creative international designers to take on the task to create not hubs, but the heart of the Greater Bay Area. A place where people from around the world would come and marvel on the next generation of future cities, a place where creative people can come together to rethink the future. We are privilege to have the opportunity to design the content for this future city, designing architecture and urban realm for the creative community to develop a platform for all of us to lead the way towards creation. The future city will become an attraction and catalyst, and the brain of the greater bay area.
