Some of the sources don't work. I need more clarification.

This looks like 2 buildings to me. Unless they are not connected, they will only be counted as two.

[LMich]

Which one is it? 2 or 4 buildings.

[ed7777]

Those buildings are not inner-connected. It looks like 2 buildings; however, it's four independent buildings.

By the way, those buildings are designed by a German company named OBERMEYER.

[LMich]

I'm still not convinced. Do you have a better picture? The buildings clearly look to have a shared atrium connecting them on all floors which would make each pair only one building a piece.

[ed7777]

There is a shared atrium under fifth floor which is a department store.

Done - Also, what does "German Style" mean? To most of the rest of the world it is simply known as "Modern" or "Late Modernist."

[ed7777]

That's what I directly translated from an Chinese article. I guess it means that the buildings were designed by a German company and it gives people a impression of German building style.

It should be more toward the "modern" style, I guess.

[ed7777]

I don't know why that I cannot attach any pictures to the Forum. It also says in my Forum Rules that I "may not post attachments".

[LMich]

Right, you have to use image code.

[ed7777]

I already did and it worked
