Inspiration of Suzhou Museum



For the Suzhou Museum, it use many triangles and squares to construct the exterior eviroment.I have build the  polygon of the creature's arm. And because of this buidling is a old traditional Chinense Garden.So I choose the green as the basic coloer of this vreature.
Inspiration of Miho Museum

We can see in the top of the museum's door, it a big triangle shape of glass.As the same time, the national treasure of Japan is Nipponianippon.I choose bird as the basic model of this creature, then I change its wings' shape to the triangle.In the end,I choose the white color to render it.
Inspiration of Fragrant Hill Hotel


In one interior photo of the hotel, I find more diamond shape and one circle in the center of other diamonds.Then I use the diamond to build its arm.For the color of this creature, beacuse of the Fragrant Hill's red leaves, and I choose the red color.
