Should have noticed this~

It's Sunday and instead of sleeping in (as usual) i decided to read the back issue of Blue Print Asia i got for free. This particular issue somehow managed to showcase all the architectural pieces that eluded me when i travelled to South Korea and China...which can be rather frustrating if you ask me~ haha.

Did i actually miss this?!?!: (maybe partly due to the fact that we were chasing the CCTV building at night~!haha....or i'm just blur)

Designed by Peter Davidson of LAB Architecture Studio, The facetted glass surfaces of the tower facades are inscribed with a network of geometrically determined lines. At night the continuous light lines that follow this geometry forms a distinctive nocturnal image for the towers - resembling luminous jewels.



Randomized cladding of the structure with glass and aluminium panels. Nicely placed with the east and west facades having very minimal glass usage to reduce the heat gain. Yet i can't help but feel the building to be crazily scary during the daytime. haha.



Maybe in the future, i should read first about the 'interesting sights and scenes' before boarding that plane, eh?
which reminds me....i am on a travelling hiatus for now. *gasp!* how shall i survive? XD
