Popis: This study highlights the rigorous design of the Sheraton Moon Hotel of Huzhou city in the People’s Republic of China. It was designed by architect Ma Yansong by MAD Architects and built by Shanghai Feizhou Group. It is the first five-star hotel in mainland China for the prosperous and influential “business class”, oozing wealth and extravagance. Its construction took about 6 years that is from 2007 to 2013. This rigorous design has contributed immensely to the beautiful China and dynamic Huzhou agenda. The study reveals the design concepts, structural design and several specifications of the skyscraper. Its designer, architect Ma Yansong states that the shape is inspired by traditional bridges represented in ancient Chinese paintings. Throughout Chinese history, people have always sought a harmonious relationship with nature and this has become an important part of Chinese culture and tradition. Huzhou is a famous place for traditional ink paintings and splendid views of the water and the archbridge is one of the key elements of traditional architecture.
