The birthplace of Bing Dwen Dwen, the top-notch mascotte of the Beijing Winter Olympics, can be seen in studio 705 of the Design Building of the Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts. Liu Pingyun, chief executive of the design team, has a small studio space, but an entire wall is plastered with Bing Dwen Dwen sketches. It took 10 months from the initial design conception to the final effect confirmation. Through the clever combination of multiple modern elements, a unique modern panda is presented to the world.
