The idea derived from a forest, where the irregular porous nature has been translated inside, forms a cave-like atmosphere for visitors to meander and enter through. creating a sense of freedom in movement inside.

The sections beside the striking facade have been wrapped in a Chinese-influenced lattice grid, making this eccentric blending of organic, contemporary sculpture and commercial styles, a landmark within the shanghai district.
