2. Gemdale Wuhan / ASPECT Studio
The concept
Throughout the public realm, the design captures moments of a bird in flight, a flutter of wings and
feathers, colours infused into the elements. A sweeping language of the Phoenix unifies public space,

the bespoke pre-cast active edges that frame the perimeter development.
