The visitor center of the Grand-Canal in Hangzhou is a landmark complex which includes a port terminal center, a bus station, F&B, and other commercial facilities. Located in the heart of the Grand-Canal commercial district, this visitor center aims to be “a strong anchor point” to connect the entire cultural development with the urban grain. The concept of the “bridge”, a traditional Chinese form, is used to create a slender building, responding to the canal next to it. It provides transfer paths and sightseeing places above, and public space below to achieve an efficient transport system.
