The structure of buildings on the Unicorn Island is in the shape of "contracted time and space" as a whole, which looks quite futuristic from the air. The architectural concept is likened to "lotus in the pond", as the buildings on the island are designed as a series of interactive "petals", or "circular cell bodies", which share one central core and present a sense of gathering indicating the island's original intention to accumulate talents and enterprises.

The architectural plan of the whole island is designed by Zaha Hadid Architects, and the landscape is designed by Ramboll Studio Dreiseitl. The whole island reflects the world top planning and design standards in terms of green energy, underground transportation organization, smart city, and composite functional structure. The design concept of the Unicorn Island, avant-garde, innovative, diversified and flexible, is able to adapt to different needs. It's not only the perfect combination of ecology and technology, but also the representation of the developing direction of the future city. The Unicorn Island will become a landmark in Tianfu New Area in the future.
