Ya I'd have to agree, an interesting one. Like that waterfall section.

great looking project

amazing, i beleive there is a similar project in your ass. :jk:

U are right, that sure looks interesting!

Is it a shopping center / entertainment cplx?

that looks really cool

Sorry kids, but I dont' like it. Too "typical chinise construction" looking.

I really like it.

...I dont' like it. Too "typical chinise construction" looking.

That's the beuty of it. It IS in China afterall.

I'm all for it :)

I like very much these traditional buildings, its like a whole village, very nice! And imo there should be room for these in modern cities, i like variety :)

I realy like this building. Look's like it'll be apartments to me. A greta constrast to the not so pretty scrapers in the background.

very nice project, keep the traditionnal things ^^

I really this. China should promote thier traditional architecture and this project is doing just that.

i dont like it...lol

It's nice if you see it close up but from a distance... looks like a slum.

Looks good. If they changed the roof colour, it would probably look nicer though.

is it just me or does it look more Japanese than Chinese?

Looks nice and fits in with chinese traditional architecture.

yeah looks nice,I like the modern buildings built in chinese traditional architecture.I just don't like the highway or whatever it is in front of it.

thanks for all your suggestions.

nice!

Chinese-style buildings in China... Sounds a bit unoriginal if you ask me. ;)

A strange project.
It is in between the CBD (Behind, isn't right?) and the ChangJian river, two interresting attractions, but it seems to ignore both of them!!!
* Why not put the motorway below the building, one way or another? It just prevents the building benefitting from the great scenery over the river.
*There seems to be one street coming from the cbd, and instead of making a persective down the river they decided to put the "ugly tower" in the middle. It lacks something to open up to the cbd, people can't get easily from the upper street to the riverside pedestrian zone. If they do so it is through the building, so urbanistically speaking isn't it a problem of conception?
* To facilitate the communication between the two areas, two options could have been considered : a system of stairs and roof-terraces to take advantage of the 3rd dimension of the land, and the landscape. Still this could be done with chinese traditionnal architecture.
Or a pedestrian way down the river which means a smaller slope : the building would actually have to be built over the motorway, so this would be much bigger.
* Last but not least, the riverside pedestrian access is 10 meters away from the motorway! The waterfall should help cover the noise, but a place next to the river should be the isolated romantic quiet place in a big crowdy and noisy, shouldn't it?
Regarding this issue I really consider the Wuhan (Hankou) Chang Jiang Square as a real success. But this funny project seems to fail to meet the main urbanistic challenge in Chongqing : reuniting the city and the river. :runaway:

very traditional and nice.

I like how it looks from UP CLOSE, but yea... as someone else said, from far away, it looks like a slum...

really interestin,very traditional,simple and nice!

It is one great slum! :puke:

I REALLY like that. I think it looks great personally.

i love this. china must stop with the ugly towers and promote their own traditional architecture and why not make towers with that style

no doubt that this will become a landmark

That's the beuty of it. It IS in China afterall.

I'm all for it :)
Sorry but I am a modern architecture freak, that's why this project doesn't like me.

Looks great. :)

It's not by piling up old stuff you can make new landmarks, is it?
I mean I know traditionnal chinese architecture that looks much nicer, modern and aesthetic than this.
But maybe in an ocean of rationalism, this one stands a chance.
:runaway: :runaway: :runaway:

Looks really gorgeous, i nice building to have in bisy Chongqing.

is it just me or does it look more Japanese than Chinese?
it is the Chinese tradional,and many Japanese cluture are from China~~

Looks great.

looks like and old traditional chinese buildings............
quite a project..............

I think this is a great proiject and one that China badly needs.

Too much traditional architecture has been destroyed to make space for modern yet anonymous non descriptive high rises that could well be in Portland or Mexico City.

China needs to find a way to combine modernity and its own specific identity and this could be a step forward in that direction.

This project is awsome! :eek2:

what the heck is it supposed to be?

I'd like China to build according to its traditional style more often :master:

Wow - looks pretty cool. What would modern chinese architecture have looked like without western influences (especially skyscrapers)? The same?

choqqing should have more traditional chinese project like this project rather than styless skyscraper,anyway good job choqqing,very nice

It looks OK.

There are different kinds of pub,bar,cafe,KTV,restaurant......in it.It's a big shopping mall actually.

I guess the materials of this project will be special.

BTW,they are traditional architects of Southwestern China. :cheers:
