Designed by Nigel Anthony reading with Arup and Aedas, Asynsis Architecture + Design, horizontal wheel is located in Hong Kong, China. It is designed as an icon of sustainability due to its use of renewable wind, tidal and solar, and to be carbon neutral by offsetting carbon footprint of the building by planting trees in arid, drought-stricken areas in China. Hong Kong is likely to be a global hub for carbon trading, which combines the tower "Zhong" the Chinese character and "Phi" Greek letter represents the success of the "merger" of "one country - two systems", so immediately becomes a natural part of Hong Kong and viability as a symbolic identity must be the same as the Eiffel Tower is to Paris and the London Eye in London.
