US architect looking into the future in Shanghai

The picturesque view along the Bund in Shanghai is already known all over the world, but architect Marshall Strabala has set his eyes on making it even more impressive.

If the US architect has his way, the iconic waterfront stretch could soon be home to a giant double-arch structure supporting 100 capsules that will take tourists from one bank of the Huangpu River to the other.

Strabala, who is the founding partner and chief architect at architectural studio Strabala+, originally proposed the structure when Shanghai's political adviser solicited expatriates for ways of improving the city earlier this year.
