WTF> Shanghai to get another, even taller building
Jun 25th, 2008 | By Chris | Category: News and events, Random Shanghai stuff..., weird stuffXinhua has the scoop:
“China’s tallest building, to be built in Shanghai, will look like a coiled dragon, according to its designer.”
A dozen overseas and domestic firms offered designs for the building from April 2005 but Gensler’s “Dragon” finally defeated the “Bamboo Shoot” from Britain’s Foster & Partners.
Nope, its not April 1st. I thought shanghai was sinking and they weren’t going to do any more tall ones? Oh well, its a dragon, oy vey…
Once it is completed, the super high rise will have 118 stories and exceed Taiwan’s 501-meter Taipei 101 to become the country’s tallest building.
Whoop e doo. Erm, hold on a minute, is it just me or does it look nothing like a dragon? Someone should be told.
