What is it with architectural videos and Moby? I was over Moby about 10 years ago, and I'm not exaggerating.

It will be completed soon, it is really morden and beautiful. I can see it everday on my awy to school.

@georgewu5 most of what he builds is really very rational and almost literally dictated by the program of the building and its location. Also, the construction is a lot more stable than it might seem. An earthquake would certainly do little damage to the structure.

@kurumako Haha, well it's just the relaxing type of lounge music without lyrics that fits well with architecture i guess

[viyovis]

It's amazing!!!!!!!!

@georgewu5WHAT WRONG OF KOOLHAAS ,THE WAY I ANALYZED HIM, IS THAT HE IS AN OPPORTUNIST, UNLIKE LA CORBUSIER AND WRIGHT WHO SPENT THEIR LIFE TIME TO SEARCH FOR ARCHITECTURAL THEORIES, OR HE IS SIMPLY LESS GIFTED ! AND WHO IS ALSO VERY IMPATIENT TO BE SUCCESSFUL. THEREFORE HE CAME UP WITH WEIRD ARCHITECTURE, SUCH AS PUTTING A NOT SYMMETRICAL 40 STOREY BUILDING IN AN EARTHQUAKE ZONE BEIJING! TO ME, HE IS NOT EXCUSABLE! OF COURSE HE COULD DO IT ,BUT WHY? TO FIGHT AGAINST MOTHER NATURE?GEORGE WU,AIA

@jackthetriper THE PYRAMIDS WERE NOT BUILT IN AN EARTHQUAKE ZONE, THAT THE PYRAMID WITH A SYMMETRICAL FORM, WOULD NEVER COLLASPE IN AN EARTHQUAKE. BUT A BIG LUMP OF MASS HANGING OFF CENTER AT THE TOP OF 500 FEET ABOVE THE GROUND IN AN EARTHQUAKE ZONE BEIJING, I COULD VISUALIZE THE SWAYING OF THE PENDULUM AT THE TOP OF THE BUILDING WOULD SWING ONE WAY , WOULD NOT SWING BACK TO THE ORIGINAL SHAPE DURING AN EARTHQUAKE OF 100,000 + TONS OF FORCE, EQUAL TO AN ATOMIC BOMB!

@zhcnmk Z:ANOTHER DESIGN FLAW BY KOOLHAAS WAS THE SINGLE TOWER OF THE ANNEX BUILDING THAT CAUGHT FIRE. LUCKILY NO OCCUPANTS YET IN THE BUILDING.THERE WERE 2,700 PEOPLE DIED IN THE FIRE OF THE WORLD TRADE CENTER, BECAUSE MOST OF THEM WERE TRAPPED UPSTAIRS.

I HAVE BEEN ADVOCATING ARCHITECTS TO DESIGN MULTI-TOWERS WITH MULTI- SKYBRIDGES SINCE 2001, BUT NO ONE WOULD DO IT. EXCEPT STEVEN HOLL, THE TALENTED ARCHITECT WHO DID EIGHT BUILDINGS WITH SKY-BRIDGES IN BEIJING. GEORGE WU, AIA 2010-6-27

@zhcnmk Z: I RESPONDED TO YOUR POST MORE THAN A YEAR AGO, I STILL THINK THE SAME WAY AS BEFORE. ----------

" I-CHING"---- IF YOU WORK WITH NATURE; YOU WOULD SUCCEED. IF YOU WORK AGAINST NATURE; YOU WOULD FAIL.

IF YOU DO NOT PUT A SYMMERTRICAL TALL BUILDING IN EARTHQUAKE ZONE BEIJING; CCTV WILL FALL IN THE NEXT EARTHQUAKE. WRIGHT DID IT IN TOKYO IN 1923, HE BECAME WORLD FAMOUS AFTER HIS SYMMETRICAL IMPERIAL HOTEL STOOD UP THE EARTHQUAKE, WRIGHT WAS A GENIUS! GEORGE WU, AIA 2010-6-27
