Design Concept
As per design requirements of the Phase 3D design ideas competition which are to create an innovative iconic architecture, generate ingenious and sustainable low carbon design, and design the building which unifies the Park’s development in harmony with other buildings in the Park, a big challenge is to reveal the gateway of Hong Kong Science Park. The Park is the place where the science and its technology has been studied and developed in Hong Kong. The Ideal symbolism of the Park is required to have its new introduction among other building design forms. For this creation of the new icon, our initiation to design is crossed over to the idea of math, geometry, or even comprehensive symbols to create a physical mass. Then, our design idea has been narrowed down into a form that will mingle those symbols as well as the design requirements. So, we introduce the ‘CUBE’, as the new icon.
