The song in the background is "Computer love" by Kraftwerk, an 80's great German electronic band.

@tomashache Sounds A LOT like Coldplay's Talk. A nice tribute by Coldplay.

@Bluejayhunt that makes sense. still i'm not a fan of the form. it somewhat looks like it's not finished and need some polish. it is a smart design and all but it is hard to take it seriously. Comparing it to the CCTV building by Rem Koolhaas, the form is just too ...predictable and straight forward.

@lbhlbhlbh it was not designed based on a chinese character.it was PURELY coincidental.the only reason he named it after the chinese character is just because he wanted to win the heart of the clients.you should read the book 'YES IS MORE' to find out more about this project.

it's cool but look's hard to make !!!!

@lbhlbhlbh BIG initially designed this to be place in Sweden. It was then seen by a Chinese client who thought it was amazing for what it symbolised in his culture. So, they effectively designed one building for one culture, that happened to be perfect for another.

Hope this helps form your opinion a bit more. :)
