Guangzhou Bridge
The Guangzhou Bridge Historical Cultural Environment Artistic Improvement Project is a collaboration with OMA Architects. The design is a vision for the future for the city, linking the existing Guangzhou Bridge, Liede Bridge, the Tianhe and Haizhu riverbanks. A Metropolitan River Side Loop is created through a dragon-shaped footbridge connecting the existing Guangzhou Bridge as well as new public domain design and sustainable environmental interventions along the riverbanks. The existing Haixinsha Island is also transformed into an oriental garden called Kapok Island forming a landscape dialogue with the proposed wetland park on the eastern tip of the Ersha Island. The Metropolitan River Side Loop, Kapok Island, will together create a new Guangzhou landscape icon, integrating seamlessly with the existing city-scape icons and forming new connections and opportunities for the CBD in the Tianhe district.
