The architectural shape of the Himalaya Center aims to integrate Chinese wisdom into contemporary architecture and achieve the "ICON" that world-class metropolises strive to pursue in the 21st century. Architecture has transcended the current concepts of architecture and art. Although it is buried in the chaos of the city, it can attract people's attention through its own unique personality and expression. We call it architectural sculpture (Archisculpture).

The entire building is composed of crystal-clear cubes and organic “forests” that sparkle with metallic luster. The concise and bright square body houses the hotel and creative studios, which float in the air and can be seen from a distance; the irregular organic shape in the center uses "forest" as the development image, and contains art galleries and performing arts and entertainment facilities. The various curved surfaces on the surface change euphemistically, corresponding to Human scale; the "forest" is an open urban cultural square, a gathering point for public activities. The combination of simplicity and organicity, regularity and randomness constitutes the sculptural nature of the building itself, and also enhances the center's shocking power as a "image" of the city.

Himalaya Center, 28,893 square meters, with a total construction area of ??162,270 square meters, will be built in five business formats: hotel, contemporary art museum, multi-functional performance hall, shopping mall and office building. Concretely interpret Chinese wisdom and ingenuity and contemporary cultural beauty, create a new century life layout that comprehensively cares for the body, mind and soul, and become a future model for China's cultural and creative industries.

The core business is focused on Chinese culture-themed hotels, and the software and hardware content of various business formats are coordinated and planned to jointly achieve "creative interpretation of the exquisite appearance of contemporary Chinese elegant life, and demonstration of admiring Asian cultural values" The lofty ideal of "outstanding achievements and establishing outstanding indicators for the cultural and creative industries in the new era".
