Taiwan Tower | Steven Ma

Circular design elements are a symbol of an abundant harvest of grain. Layers upon layers of petals combined
and framed the foundation of the Taiwan Tower with a traditional Chinese rectangular courtyard. Bamboo
structure as an inspiration for the creation of this free-standing light-weight structure of the "Double-Towers"
to form a nature "Gateway" to Taichung. A Floating Orchid as a symbolic tribute of a flower basket presented
to the people and to god
