The gesture of architectural intervention to nature is the core discourse of design. The architecture seeks to avoid destroying the natural landscape, and it is overall overhead, there are only four landing core barrels. The whole building seems to grow from the ground. The design of the site tried to keep the original wetland landscape.The roof platform of multi-layers provides visitors the highest points overlooking the wetland landscape.The architecture uses the pillar hanging structure system to contribute to the integrity of the structure and construction.
