Design
According to Aedas, the design of the building draws inspiration from a renowned Song Dynasty ink painting, using the imagery of rivers and mountains as its core concept. The tower’s staggered form evokes layered mountain peaks, which are solid and full at the front, steep and upright at the sides, thus creating a dynamic profile with varied heights. Two sloping roofs suggest a rugged landscape, while the dark glass curtain wall recalls a cascading waterfall. The podium’s sweeping lines resemble outstretched wings or a surge of water, reinforcing the natural theme.
A front plaza forms an urban interface, improving access and interaction with the city. Overall, the design wishes to convey an image of vitality and upward momentum while expressing confidence in the city’s future.[4][5][6]
