Introduction

The Shenzhen Bay square has a mix of ingredients, with which will be able to set a new standard in urban design. It matches hyper modern techniques like 3D printing to build the buildings. The square is fully integrated into the ecological fabric of the talent park. It will be a space where people can leave the dense city behind and enjoy to breathe the fresh sea-wind and enjoy the openness.

The functions below the square are to form one continuous cultural complex; the museums each having their own interest groups will in the underground space worktogether to maximize their efficiency and optimize their educational and supportiveendorsement for new and emergent technology and design.
