Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners designs Shenzhen airport terminal with "natural environment at its heart"

Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners' terminal will include a central 10,000-square-metre garden that was designed to act as a "front door" to the city of Shenzhen.
"The design concept has at its heart a 10,000 square-metre central garden space, the size of 40 tennis courts," said Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners partner Andrew Tyley. "The garden acts as the front door to Shenzhen connecting and integrating ground and air travel."
