The advice and suggestions from these professors were rich in content and highly pertinent, academic and instructive, which were a rare artistic feast. Especially the wonderful speech of Zhao Jian had won warm applause from the audience. The design concept advocated by Zhao Jian was consistent with the idea of Chairman Yang Feng "Connect with the West based on Chinese characteristics". His ideas had been approved by Chairman Yang Feng, such as sunshine entered via the left side, inverse design of the two towers, bold deployment for office area, making use of municipal landscape and historical feeling of ornaments in the Chinese painting area.
Finally, Chairman Yang expressed gratitude for the efforts of design companies and suggestions of artists. He reaffirmed that Great Aim International Building adopts a design of two towers. Its V-shaped lines flow freely; its outer walls adopt an advanced light and shadow design, so it resembles flowing water and flying butterfly. The enchanting and spectacular light and shadow forms a contrast with the nightview of Zhuhai and Macau. Meanwhile, he raised new requirements on design in the next step from areas such as logo expression, tree vine culture of the landscape, V shape of two towers, holographic laser projection technology of the restaurant, selection of wall materials and adding of classic cultural elements to the office of directors.
