What we want to build is a pure, sturdy and eternal place, like a diamond. To show our respect to nature, we hide the architecture among sand. When the soft curves of the sand dunes meet the sharp geometric motifs of the architecture, a subtly dramatic effect is created. This embodies three characteristics of the profound ancient Chinese philosophy of "Yin and Yang" — unity, opposition, and transformation. The hotel serves as a medium that connects "people" and "nature." The core of the entire design is to incorporate the desert scenery to the ultimate extent.
