When it comes to the facade design, our inspiration was aroused from a picture, in which, a Flight A380 plane is undergoing a process of pneumatic test. The vivid curves appear along with the speedy airflow generated by the jet engine during takeoff. In the design concept, we used the curves as the key element. The façades are clad with irregular curves, which can make people get imagination of aerodynamics, and make the building alive and allured. In addition, the building interior was fully furnished with non-structural units, which have good ventilation and sunshade functions, thus a cool and comfortable interior space can be created.
