Description on this project

The design for the Gate of the Orient is inspired by the combined Chinese traditions and western influences of the projects two lead designers. The result is a mix of westernized pure form and Chinese subtlety. The Gate of the Orient has drawn inspiration from the historic and cultural references of the traditional famous gardens of Suzhou and stands almost 300m high and sits directly above a major underground rail interchange, which is fully integrated into the building.
