This project serves as the architectural centerpiece for the revitalization plan of the Haitang River. Therefore, the architecture departs from the rigid and towering structures formed by functional stacking. Instead, it embraces a sleek, low-profile design with transparent, glass-encased volumes gently touching the riverbanks to preserve the waterscape. The plaza and internal circulation paths of the site are nestled below ground level, with certain areas excavated to create sunken spaces. This design creates an overall effect resembling a sculpture nestled into the riverbanks, harmonizing with the landscape.
