Du went further, transforming a local 120-meter solar collector experimental tower in Yanqing District into a landmark Olympic tower by adding the five-ring installation, currently the biggest in the country, to the top and installing other decor and LED lights on the body of the tower. Dubbed "The Haituo Tower," it's become one of the most iconic images for Beijing 2022.

Meanwhile, Liu Qiang, an associate professor with the Department of Industrial Design led a team in a project for the Jingzhang High-Speed Railway, a critical high-speed railway section specially constructed for the 2022 Olympic Winter Games. His team designed a logo for the railway, as well as murals, relief sculptures and plaques. Olympic elements were also added to the railway stations when they did the designs.

In addition, Wenjun Bottle, a traditional Chinese stylized ceramic bottle, designed by Professor Bai Ming from the AADTHU, was selected as the iconic and licensed merchandise product, as well as the official souvenir gift for Beijing 2022. The bottle is very "China," and represents Chinese culture, with embossed emblems of the Beijing Winter Olympics and Paralympics. The slender bottle body and flowing lines echo the elegant, dexterous and rhythmic momentum and appearances of ice and snow sports, the designer said at a press conference.
