The project was chaired by Jingtang He, dean of the Architectural Design and Research Institute of SCUT and the Chinese Academy of Engineering, and completed through the joint efforts of three design institutions and the design team led by Xiaodan Fang, a national-level engineering surveillance design master. Within only two months, the interdisciplinary team completed the design procedures, from determining the construction plan to the planning and construction application, based on demonstrating the scale, examining demands, and comparing several schemes. The SCUT team also organized several professional teams to conduct overlapping operations.
