Urbs Super Nubes est officium iurisconsultorum in tabulato vicesimo tertio turris apud Guangzhou in Sinis collocatum. Spatium interius mille octingentos metros quadratos complectitur atque Flumen Margaritarum prospicit. Materiae comprehendunt lapidem caeruleum naturalem, pigmentum ceramicum album, laminas chalybis puri undulatas atque leves, speculum caeruleum, lignum ac systema illuminationis gracile. Forma arcuata aditum ad aream laboris designat sensumque sollemnitatis affert. Superficies albae formaeque undarum nubes in memoriam revocant. Dispositio spatii notionem visionis universalis cum sapientia locali coniunctae exprimit.

- A tribute to Carlo Scarpa (an Italian architect). He pays special attention to the form and ways of using materials, so as to better explore the nature of things on the world, something that is often hidden and obscured, and to express a power that gushes out from the inside. An artwork is supposed to be an integrated form of various elements that coexist harmoniously, elements that bring inspiration by parts of the decoration, and show the nature of things through the details.
- Project Duration
- Located in 23 Floor, North Tower, Guangbaozhongxin, No.370, Yuejiangxi Road, Haizhu District, Guangzhou, Guangdong, China.The project is finished in June, 2019.
- Operation Flow
- The designer has based this project on the key idea of Global Kingway Law Firm, which is global vision together with local wisdom. This design makes full use of the height of the building towering into the sky, the breath-taking view over the bank of Pearl River, the culture and wisdom of the Pearl River region that lasts for over thousands of years, and presents the ethos of a law firm, expressing both elegance and wisdom.
