The challenge was to come up with an architectural gesture that is recognised both nationally and internationally. The result rests on the concept of an open palm, implying that we grasp the past, present and future in the palm of our hands. The hand also symbolises the passing on of the Chinese culture by creating a unique culture with our hands and appreciating the essence with our hearts.  Image Courtesy © Aedas
