LCD’s Yu Lei said “Vulcan represents a new reality – that modern architects are able to achieve their ideal design quality from concept to construction using digital design and fabrication methodologies. This development will increasingly blur the boundaries between technology and art.”
Named after the latin term for volcano and the God of Fire in Roman mythology, Vulcan symbolises a sense of fear of and respect for the unpredictable forces of nature, while suggesting the fragility and courage of human civilisation. The arched structure is akin to a mushroom cloud that forms during a volcanic eruption.
