Also, these new and crazy architectures add to part of the excitement of a city, it really does boost the economy. I imagine a tourist would now choose beijing sooner than they choose philadelphia. What is in philadelphia? Some office buildings in the center and subdivisions around it, what's in Beijing? Batshit insanity.

As a curious fact - 50% of the world's concrete production is being consumed by China.

@josh7777smith FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT, THE GREAT AMERICAN ARCHITECT DESIGNED THE IMPERIAL HOTEL IN TOKYO THAT SURVIVED THE 1923 EARTHQUAKE. I RENTED A ROOM THERE IN 1963 AND ADMIRED HIS ARCHITECTURE. BUT THIS KOOLHAAS BUILDING WILL NOT WITHSTAND THE 100,000 TONS ,EQUIVALENT TO THE ATOMIC BOMB THAT WAS DROPPED IN HIROSHIMA, AS WRIGHT'S BUILDING DID. THAT IS WHY WRIGHT WAS A GENIUS; KOOLHAAS,THE ARCHITECT OF AN ASMMETRICAL 40 STOREY BUILDING IN BEIJING, IS AN ASSHOLE! GEORGE WU, AIA 2010-6-30

what people bull shit around here.. the development and project of the beijing only done 10%.. more exciting building will be build after olympic untill 2020.. other city like tienjin ,qingdao,shanghai,chongqin,sha­ngdon,haerbin, develop quickly and extremely ......... the chinese compete with time, but the western still fighting in the parliment or war. Others are bull shit in Youtube.

I think you're just pissed because Rem Koolhaas is successful and you're not. You exemplified that by comparing your ridiculous great wall housing project, which... not only is aesthetically terrible, but does not work very well in section, to this building.

notty: "50% of the world's concrete products is being consumed by China." EXCEPT IN THIS BUILDING CCTV! BECAUSE THIS BUILDING IS ALREADY FILLED WITH NOTHING BUT STEEL, (JUST BECAUSE THE ENGINEER IS ONE OF THE WORLD'S BEST ENGINEER! WHO DID NOT WANT HIS NAME TIED TO AN ASYMETRICAL TALL BUILDING THAT WOULD COLLAPSE DURING AN EARTHQUAKE!)THEREFORE THE CONCRETE HAS TO BE USED ELSEWHERE! PERHAPS IN MY "GREAT WALL VILLAGE" HOUSING OVER THE EXISTING HIGHWAYS!---DANCEWU(DOT)NET

I suppose during an earthquake, most buildings will be damaged anyway! Therefore,it does not matter whether it is an earthquake proof design or not do not make any difference! "They will all fall down any way!" The architect would argue, which building could withstand 100,000 tons of TNT or the atomic bomb in HIroshima? So the architect could sleep at night ever after! Or he would sleep any way. This building is not in his country, then who would give a shit?!---dancewu(dot)net

[georgewu5]

How many reporters can this CCTV building hold? Compared to the 1976 earthquake near by Beijing in Tangsheng,it was said that 360,000 people died during that disaster,it is still a small amount of occupants to be involved here!So it is OK to let some people die here in CCTV in the next earthquake! It was said the force of an earthquake equal to 100,000 tons of TNT or the power of the atomic bomb that was dropped in Hiroshima!---dancewu(dot)net

[georgewu5]

I am so surprised that the intelligent Chinese leadership took the gamble to give China a government building CCTV, an asymetrical high-rise office building which is exciting to look at but doubtful could survive the tremendous earthquake forces! Don't cry when CCTV collapses during the next severe earthquake, because I have said so today September 23, 2008!---dancewu(dot)net

[georgewu5]

ad: I am a Chinese-Amreican architect. I want to speak about this building CCTV alone,as I love most of the other buildings recently built in Beijing;but not this one! The government officials did not know the incapable from the competent too well, therefore mistakingly bought this second rated design! First of all, Beijing is in a known earthquake zone! everyone knows that! yet this asymetrical structure could hardly support itself standing without using over loaded steel!.....dancewu(dot)net

You folks are thinking about the plastic western economies. Money that you dont have nor the future of your children, because everything on credit. The chinese is going to one day buy you out and kick you out of your own continent.
