seconded. I find it extremely irritating. There is no cohesion with urban pedestrian traffic at all.

guys this is the masterplan - it basically forms the fulcrum to a new grand axis ( a very Chinese tradition in city planning)

Man, this thing is taking forever. I imagine it'll slow down even further once they combine the two towers together at the top.

And the world's largest pair of pants inches closer to completion.

Yeah, I admit it seems a little awkward. if the two towers were cylindrical, it'd be a bit better...

I really like this building! It's so precise and vertical. I don't really know what to say.

This one made me laugh! But this does look pretty awesome, boots or no boots.

I happened to see this while driving by Suzhou on my trip to China last week. Sadly, I didnt have my camera with me but I can tell you that it has fully taken shape and the framework is pretty much complete. Also, they've put up the cladding on the bottom 40ish percent of the building. It actually looks amazing in Suzhou's skyline but I can't really imagine it anywhere else.

They should have went higher and built the torso, head, and arms. Would have been the tallest and biggest "person" in the world.

Hope this idea is done in the future.
