Some of the architectural symbolism of the building:
The physical shape of the building when viewed from the air is the musical bass clef.
The front of the building is designed to represent piano keys with the dark tinted windows as the minor keys.
The western edge of the building is the exact ratio of the fin of a 1950's era Cadillac.
The rotunda containing the Hall of Fame has a representation of a scale model of the WSM radio tower. Half of the tower protrudes above the roof line the other half is within the rotunda.
The rotunda roof is topped with 4 layer of circles representing the 78, 45, 33 and CD discs on which country music was recorded.
On the outside of the rotunda is the musical notes of the classic country music staple "Will the Circle be Unbroken".
