The ShuangLiu West Station Comprehensive Development Project is located in the ShuangLiu District of Chengdu, in the Airport Development Zone. Three subway lines, intercity railways and airport high-speed rail links, converge here, to form a 3D transportation network. It is a super linkage project that is dominated by architecture, based on municipal infrastructure and transportation, connecting transportation, industries, and technology.
The project is divided into two plots. Coach Station, Bus Origin Station & Terminal, and P+R parking, are located in plot #3, forming an efficient and convenient hub with subway stations and high-speed rail stations; Bus Parking & Maintenance area is located in plot #8, arranged near the vehicle depot. There is a large difference between the existing functional capacity and the calculated capacity of the floor area ratio. How to enable the difference? Plot #3 activates traditional transportation functions and forms a comprehensive hub center combined with commercial services, and plot #8 forms the entire industry chain of transportation，including research，development, exhibition, sales and services.
We create a green, shared, efficient and sustainable space. Using the trapezoidal site characteristic of plot #3, the Bus Origin Station & Terminal and the Coach Station are linked through the transfer hall to create an efficient and green transportation hub. As for the plot #8, the green valley links the two major functional areas, and return green to the people. The repetitive form of the building allows the formwork to be fully utilized and provides the possibility for phased construction. Different materials are used to fit the modern mark of Chengdu climate and landscape. The facade of the building is made of photovoltaic materials, which can not only use solar energy, but also form a layer of rain barrier for the building.
We create a Future-oriented new energy transportation life center. It is a city that resembles mountains, rivers, and streams, a city comparable to ancient streets and bridges, and a city of technological wisdom. We notice the site is surrounded by a linear texture of railway, subway, airport and green belt，so the overall architecture image responds to the site with a linear texture, creating a sense of speed which is in tune with the surroundings. We arrange the continuous commercial functions along the urban interface, and locate the noisy transportation and parking facilities in the areas with less commercial value within the site. Tranquil green valleys are inserted between the functions, allowing the urban landscape to continue. Then the linear texture rises from the site, forming a continuous mountain range.

The Comprehensive Development Project extends the airport capabilities to the urban area, bringing new opportunities and further promoting the synergy between the city and the hub, and expanding the positive impact of the airport industry on the city. It is a contemporary “Distant Mountain Painting” that gathers the voice of technology next to the hub, next to the green space, and within the city.
