This is an interesting one :)

Groundbreaking ceremony took place so should be starting soon.

Whoa.

I like it!

Very futuristic.

It somehow reminds me of the Beijing Water Cube.

crazy weird! :D

It reminds me of a 21st-century version of the Alcoa Building in Pittsburgh - metal companies are all the same.

It is like a different variation of Aqua tower currently being constructed in Chicago. A unique way to create a wave effect on the facade. I like it!

This building is truly a work of art. . .

Love it.

An impressive structure. Hope it gets built.

That's the first thing I thought of as well. Nonetheless, it looks quite interesting.

too cool!!!

Thats a really clever design, but is the roof actually going to be covered like in the rendering?

A nice combination of fantasy and elegance.
Good job !

That's a little scary.


But nonetheless, this building looks fantastic.

Does anyone know if the facade is structural?

^As in a sort of exo-skeleton? Dunno. Doesn't seem to look that way.

This is a very strong design. Tianjin is getting some fine skyscrapers, though that 1800 + ft tower is not that great in the renderings at least, IMO.

is there anything on this??????

It's awesome, although the interiors look kinda space-pod-y, thus sort of dated... they'll have to handle those very carefully. :)

no this is so tottaly the o-14 tower in Dubai`s big brother
only abit more boxy on the holes. and rather much taller :)
like it alot and that apartment room looks amazing

:previous: i thought of that building when i saw this too, anyways, there's a mega-thread over at SSC that covers all the buildings surrounding this, and they have pics of the construction, but i can't tell whether this one in particular is U/C

I don't know why but I find it to be beautiful and horrible...

This Just In: Giant Pieces of Cheese Taking Cover all Over Region as Work Continues on World's Largest Cheese Grater!

Odd place for a cheese grater considering you can only get cheese in specialty stores for the most part . China is not a cheese eating kinda place . lol

This is probably my favorite proposal

It's no proposal, it's already under-construction. Please move.

^No it's not. . .

I love flying over Tianjin in Google Earth and looking at the monster steel production and coal export facilities there, its crazy.

Is that the same company as this headquarters building is for? I guess it's a little like the Chinese equivalent of the US Steel tower in Pittsburgh-larger, more modern, and newer, just like the respective positions of the two cities and the two companies. Both are weird architecture that will generally stand the test of time but never catch on.

Wow just found this work. I really like it and big time. I hope it takes off and ....


I will look into it deeper in the future but my inital reaction is YES. we can I hope....

Just found this thread, love it. Can someone link to the SSC thread that has more pictures of this?

My thoughts exactly. Flaunt the material you champion as a company in the design of your head office.

This building is on hold:

On the bright side, the neighbourhood gets a free hill.

Under Construction :cheers:

I like it. I just stop looking at what looks like the AT&T tower in the back.

Is that a live feed shot? Link?

Negative.
