The architectural form is inspired by the imagery of local ice and snow sculptures. Based on creative designs, the futuristic sculpture-like building appearance highlights a lightweight and exquisite aesthetic and a sense of technology. The dramatically-cut form is like a prism of ice and snow, echoing the tough character of Harbin, the ice city of China. Considering that the targeted user groups are urban elites with high intelligence and good taste, the design tries to express more fresh and trendy aesthetics.
