A giant half-eaten corn on the cob?

It's hard to really get a good feel with this rendering which is difficult to read.

Well, whoever made that poster obviously didn't have it checked over with a native English speaker. Building increase luster for china, lol Out of all the Chinese cities, Qingdao hardly needs a 2300 ft tower.

Yup, and it's not one of my favorite designs either.

i wonder the occupation on this one...

I think I will be the only one who like this design.

Huh. Petronas Towers meets Chicago Spire with the Tour Phare/Schmoo hairdo. A bastard of a skyscraper, isn't it?

I will wait for more renderings to judge this one. Honestly, this one may have a tough time getting built, even in China.

And will they cut out the Chinglish, FFS? I can't understand given their attention to detail with engineering and math, how they epic FAIL at conjugating verbs, using prefixes and suffixes, or using pronouns and horrible adjectives where they don't belong. No, I do not want to visit your "superb glorious ever-bright for a greatness of China peoples business location."

^Nope. I dun goofed.

Thank god this thing will never get built, it's just terrible looking.

Infernal_Elf · #13 Posted **Mar 12, 2011, 2:05 PM**

hideous design indeed

but the height is incredible i dident expect another Chinese city to try joining into the Skyscraper war with a 600m+ so fast

especially not now that the Chinese government is trying to cool down this astronomical building boom
