For the Olympic games 2008 , a unusual tower in Beijing (China) will be completed . It’s new China Central Television Tower (CCTV) and the final result could be amamzing (see above). This building cannot exist in the our world, maybe you think if you look from the correct angle , because it consists of two leaning towers, which are joined by a bridge with corner shape. The whole shape of the building seems like an impossible Escher figure.
In 2002 two architects from Holland Rem Koolhaas and Ole Scheeren won an international competition for the CCTV tower and the project broke ground in September 2004. The project is even more complex because Beijing lies in an earthquake zone, and the tower is full of technical challenges.
the building posses a great challenge but i think it can be done,who ever thought a building like burj al arab hotel would be designed and constructed,its a fantastic piece of architecture.
