The Peak of Gathering Sceneries was conceptualized as a three-dimensional flow in which three
bodies were woven together to create the tower. The metaphor of the three roads and the three
rivers are shaped into a mountain that refers to the Jianfeng Mountain across the river. Among
two of the elements are bridges that connect a smaller island designated as part of the park and
the other one linking the other side, allowing a continuous promenade along the river.
The building’s bottom three levels house tourist and retail units, while the tower hosts a series
of viewing platforms which look unto the river, mountains, and roads. The vertical landscape
created on the platforms refers to a re-interpretation of the Chinese Mountain and Water
Painting, creating a unique experience of Chinese traditional pagoda behind a parametrically
patterned façade of an abstract Mountain and Water theme perforated metal screen.
