Posted on 01 Aug 2008 | Tagged as: Architecture | 185 views
This is the Sinosteel International Plaza in Tinajin, China, designed by Beijing-based architects MAD. What will make this skyscraper different is that unlike a traditional building structure, the Sinosteel International Plaza carries its support on the outside, similar to the exoskeleton of a bee. Construction has already begun on the plaza and should be complete in 2012. It will feature office space, a hotel and the complex will be a key building in the Binhai New District, the new economic hub of Northern China. Check out Dezeen for more pics and info.
