Rogers Stirk Harbour & Partners has won a design competition for terminal 4 at Bao鈥檃n International Airport in Shenzhen, China.

The practice is a founding signatory of Architects Declare, a coalition of practices that have committed themselves to addressing the climate and biodiversity crises.

In the last few months signatories have found themselves under fire for accepting airport commissions, with Norman Foster and Patrik Schumacher withdrawing their firms as a result of the controversy. Others including Grimshaw have decided to remain and have defended their work on airports.

RSHP鈥檚 Bao-an project 鈥� which it is working on in partnership with China Northeast Architectural Design & Research Institute in Shenzhen (CNADRI), Aecom and Railway 2 鈥� will be a 400,000sq m terminal building with 60 new stands.

As part of an 鈥渁irport city鈥� in Shenzhen it will provide connections to other transport infrastructure and have capacity for 31 million passengers a year, 24 million of them international.

Terminal 4 is designed around a 10,000sq m central garden space connected to the other parts of the airport via landscaped pedestrian routes which senior partner Ivan Harbour said placed 鈥減assengers鈥� wellbeing and pleasure鈥� at the heart of the scheme.

RSHP, which won the Stirling Prize in 2006 for terminal 4 at Madrid鈥檚 Barajas Airport, is also currently designing Terminal 3 at Taoyuan Airport in Taiwan and the east wing at Geneva Airport in Switzerland, which it described as its first energy-positive building.

It said specific environmental design strategies at Bao鈥檃n included the building鈥檚 compact form, low water consumption and rainwater harvesting, displacement ventilation and use of vegetation, as well as a 鈥渟ignificant proportion鈥� of off-site prefabrication.

In a statement the architect said: 鈥淭hese strategies as well as an efficient plan, equipment layout and the promotion of integrated public transport connections will all serve to minimise the building鈥檚 energy consumption in use.鈥�
