View Full Version : China's modern buildings inspired in traditional architecture
z0rg September 27th, 2006, 03:48 PM I've just found this amazing residential highrise, I think it is located in Guangzhou. I had never seen something like this! Amazing!

Often, when they merge both old and new styles the result looks very kitsch, but they did a great job here.

You should like this skyscraper. It is a skyscraper with Chinese "soul". :lol:

Certainly better than the fake baroque monstrosities with retarded looking hellenic sculptures made by a third grade "artist" with two left hands. ;)
z0rg September 28th, 2006, 09:29 AM Well, the idea of this thread is that we all post pics of other buildings which respect the title of the thread :)
hkia September 28th, 2006, 11:07 PM Most traditional Chinese inspired buildings are bad, ie. Taipei 101. But this one's actually quite nice.
duskdawn September 28th, 2006, 11:30 PM But many people love Taipei 101 so it is more like a personal preference.

An American lawyer told me that Taipei 101 looks like the stacked takeout boxes from Chinese restaurants in America. :laugh:
The surrounding area of Tapei 101 sucks.

GWB told the world he'll bring freedom and safety to every country. Who takes Americans seriously?
kelvinyang September 29th, 2006, 10:17 AM ^^ Don't take my post as a political statement. You are overly sensitive.
The American lawyer whom I had a business with made a correct description of geometrical feature of Taipei 101. Since I was not the original person who made this description, so I had to point out who made this description because I always wanted to respect other's "intellectual property".
Tom_Green September 29th, 2006, 09:19 PM I like the Jin Mao Building very much. I think it`s inspired by traditional architecture.
Bad example.

A very good example, even if it is not an skyscarper. ;)

Similar style here. Don't know where is it located:
