It was produced by Italian architectural firm AM Progetti built on Guangzhou, China and named Guangzhou Circle Mansion .
The circular building, which is being managed by Guangdong Plastic Exchange Company, has a total floor area of 85,000m 2 , consisting of 33 floors, each with a diameter of 48m. There are many organizations and companies that rent rooms here as offices and the building also has a hotel that is operating effectively. Gizmag magazine said that building this strange circular building is based on the inspiration from the multicolored jade, the calculation of the feng shui art of the ancients.
The architecture of the circular building also reflects the curving shape of the rivers near it. What is special is that this circular building corresponds to the number 8 which is considered to be particularly lucky in Chinese folklore. For example, the Olympics held in Beijing took place at 8:00 am on August 8, 2008.
