We envisioned a new urban area in front of the terminal station that combines historical, cultural, transportational, industrial, and environmental elements that represent the bay city of Qingdao. By connecting various places in the area with nodes along the "Activity Cloud Loop," people's activities and interactions are encouraged, leading to a more vibrant city. The pedestrian-oriented public space will connect the business, historical-cultural, and residential areas with the transit function, and visualize a variety of urban activities while integrating the station and the city.
