Ah, knew that was an SOM design. SOM playing a bit with the diagrid again. Kind of old hat but it's not bad.

I think it's nice looking :) Tianjin's becoming quite the up-and-coming city in China.

Difficult to see into the actual site

Took these pictures during the October Holidays, but I've been so swamped with work since then, I haven't had time to get them off my cameraphone and on the web. So think of these as circa October 1st.

Sorry, don't have much time to crawl Bohai BBS and those other sites for more pics.

any updates on this skyscaper?

[Roadcruiser1]

Why does so many new skyscrapers in China copy the design of One World Trade Center in New York? Are they copying us?

[BStyles]

The tapering design is among many skyscrapers that were built before 1WTC, like the Shanghai WFC. It's not copyrighted, and I think its neat that most countries want a piece of it.

They don't. One World Trade Center is just not a very unique design....

Same architects. Although I'm not sure which office did this tower.

It's a tall glass building that tapers...not exactly revolutionary.

[Ed007Toronto]

Looks nice to me.

[Urbannizer]

This was completed in 2014, though the supertall never came to be.
