Given China’s
reputation for bold and speedy construction, it’s no surprise that 2012
marked the arrival of this cool new building in the capital city of
Beijing. Designed by Iraqi-British architect Zaha Hadid—the first woman
to be awarded the Pritzker Prize—this 18-story office, retail, and
entertainment complex consists of four domed structures connected by
bridges and platforms, crafted from aluminum, stone, glass and stainless
steel. Inspired by nature, the flowing lines and organic forms create a
lusciously harmonious effect. |
