Additional information:
I love Drawing,
I am constantly divided between comics and architecture ... a war in which the hand is
always driven from free drawing, the inventiveness of the characters, the adventures that i
lived in front of that piece of paper, place scene of incredible carnage, and continuous fun
thinking about what I felt I was slowly trying to emerge.
Interest:
Architecture, Design, Hand drawing, Chess, Films
Sports Played:
Swimming, Waterpolo, Jogging, Volley, Mountain Biking
Personal characteristics:
As an architect, I am an expert at 3D modelling and rendering images. I have a great passion
for representation: ranging from simple handmade sketches to highly technical digitalized
designs and animation. I maintain a flexible and approachable attitude, as I quickly adapt to
any work environment. I like to be a member of a teams.

The Project aims to:
• reduce travelling time between HK and SZ
East, facilitate future development in these
areas and extend the economic hinterland of HK
and SZ;
• re-distribute the cross-boundary traffic
from SZ to New Territories East, resulting in
enhancement of the overall operational effi-
ciency, handling capacity and quality of servi-
ce for the BCPs in HK and SZ;
• and satisfy the urban layout design require-
ment in SZ East, in order to fulfill the SMPG’s
“East-in-east-out” traffic planning principle
for the cross-boundary traffic.
The International Ideas Competition is a sin-
gle-stage open competition, aiming to collect
unique and innovative design ideas and concepts
which should achieve the followings :
• an architectural design that blends well
into the surrounding environment;
• a consistent image and style for the Pas
senger Terminal Building on both Hong Kong (HK)
and Shenzhen (SZ) sides; and
• a new and “people-oriented” boundary con-
trol point design that illustrates the intimate
collaboration between HK and SZ under the “se-
parate-location” arrangement of immigration and
customs operation.
