The architect was inspired by the fishing boats passing by on the Oujiang River and the ripples that they create. The soft and light curves introduced in the design bring dynamism to the rigid and orderly building. The concept of three offset ellipsoid blocks superimposed upon each other was thus developed. The twisting shape of the building partners up with the ripples of the river and together, they dance along the wind. A shared space is set up where the three shapes are connected, linking up the entire building.
