The design is inspired by the unique traditional water culture of the riverside district of Doumen. The origin of the initial idea stemmed from the movement of the river currents and a ‘fish leaping from the water’. The fish jumping gesture symbolizes the prosperity and rapid transformation of the city.

For the integration of the tower in the urban promenade concept, the proposal avoids using too much of the plaza area, and leaves the most space for landscape design elements and recreational activities for the public. Moreover there will be cafes and restaurants on the ground floor of the tower-podium to activate the plaza square.
