This impressive landscape firm collaborated with various practices to connect multiple banks created by the convergence of these four Shenzhen rivers with a series of paths and elevated promenades.
The Rainbow Bridge, which crosses two of the rivers, was completed by German practice Schlaich Bergermann Partner and the Flora Trellis Cafe was designed by LAAB Architects, and features glass curtain walls sheltered by a white rhombus-coffered canopy.
