You know,a certain percentage of GDP is contributed by China's construction industry!Both residential and public buidings! We call it "To increase the domestic demands".

Many cities in China are like that now!

^^ The twins must be very close to 300m since the Gate of the East is 278m tall, but we shouldn't trust these conceptual models very much. Too many disappointments already. I've noticed in the last 15 months or so that almost every Chinese city seeking a world class skyline is planning a huge twin tower project: Beijing (cancelled), Shanghai (revised), Guangzhou, Tianjin, Ningbo, Shenzhen, Changsha, Shenyang, Hangzhou... Nice.

All projects are very modern and excellent designed

Can't believe Qinhuadao is seriously planning a CBD like this.
By 2004, 183 out of 661 Chinese cities have announced to build international metropolis and most of them have got plans to build new CBD, most of them are not well-known even in China. It is so hard to find informations about those cities' projects since little information is made public before the project is completed and you may not know the city's existence(i do not know 183 Chinese cities:ohno: ).

when I see these photo ... i think about what we did in the 60's ... in france we have built many high tower for the population. they were very beautiful. but then ... years after years they became dirty and dilapidated.
and one year ago ... there were riots in these old splendid districts.
so ... do not be too enthusiastic and wait to see the future ...

It's super-hyper plagiarism from old variant of Russia Tower

It may be, but if that old design of Russia Tower would not get done, then we should not mind seeing it rising slightly altered in another city, plagiarism aside.

The question is

Does it that variant tower even exist in Russia now ??

hahahahahahaha, that project is simply out of this world.

It looks very expensive. IMO, Guizhou shouldn't expend too much in public buildings since it is still very poor.

^^ very true. But it's ok if it can be used to boost the tourism, people traveling back from Guizhou told me there are many undeveloped tourism resources in that poor state. They may need a good name card to attract tourists.

seems one of the 243m towers has topped out. am i right?

Damn, the Dongguan CBD looks so horrible boring for god's sake... One day we'll all be satisfied of looking at glass towers, because of such things. They shouldn't built a park of boxes, some more diversity would make it a lot more interesting.

Those renders/photos look good. Boxy, but very modern looking. Wish they would put more effort into developing the more inland cities like Xi'an, Zhengzhou. Those cities and the more affluent coastal cities are worlds apart.

damn china!!!!!!!
You are whooping ass!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Probably the best looking building here. Like it!

WOW...China very good new a build...!! Thank You to zOrg :applause::bow:

these cities are catching up. Dalian sure looks pretty, and I was fortunate enough to visit this city earlier this year. However, I would say this city is more beautiful on posters...

I hope the Chinese government don't fill all those cities with modern architectures. Cities like Kunming and Guizhou should place priority in preserving their age old and cultural buildings. In the eyes of most tourists to China, that is what they are hoping to see. The same way that CHinese hoping to see those Romanesque, Gothic and Renaissance buildings in Europe.

The final design for the main tower for Shimao Fuzhou International Center has been released, 270m. This project also includes 6x170m residentials.

Changchun (Jilin province) might build 2 supertalls.

长春南部将建两座300米高楼

长春南部将建两座300米高楼




　

10月27日，上海绿地集团在长春南部投资兴建的长春市南部新城第一座高楼将奠基，这也是南部新城的第一个项目。一位相关人士表示，这是长春市南部新城建设中掘开的“第一锹”。

　　南部第一号工程27日奠基

　　今年7月31日，经过创纪录的135轮举牌，上海绿地集团以12.05亿元成功摘取了长春南部新城宗地号为29—90—31.32.33的地块，出让面积为188184平方米。绿地集团拍得的地块就是长春市政府南部新城建设的第一号工程。本月27日，绿地集团将要建设的长春南部新城第一座高楼将奠基，据透露，奠基当天，将有4架滑翔机出现在南部新城的上空，同时还将放飞2007只和平鸽。

　　四座高楼组成长春南大门

　　长春市政府计划在北起卫星路、南至绕城高速公路、东起伊通河、西至永春河区间建立起南部中心城区。记者从规划图上看到，未来长春南部中心城区要建4座高层商务楼，其中最高的一座高达300多米，建成后将是长春市最高的建筑，最低的一座也将达到180米。这4座楼位于南部新城的圆形广场地段，分别位于东西南北四个方向的四栋楼，从东西南北四个方向看，任意相邻的两座楼都能组成一个“门”字形，这也是长春市今后的南大门。相关人士介绍说，这是借鉴了法国巴黎拉·德方斯的规划风格。

Xiamen is a small city,50~60 floors skyscraper will be sufficient.but a 120 plus floor uber skyscraper is pure insanity.
lately, central authority in beijing trying to crack down super tall skyscraper in the provincial city, hopefully ,they could bring the proposal back to earth.

^^:ohno::uh::puke::goodnight UGLY. architecture gone overboard! too gaudy, terrible design, and a design plan done literally in one day...

For what reason? :ohno:

report come from shanghai evening news, the reason is that in small cities, demand for office space is not tight,second, is the fear over capacity which lead to real estate melt down,they do not want to repeat Hainan real estate bubble burst of the late 90's.

about late 2005, i come across a report from shanghai evening news, plan to construct to 70 floors tower in Dalian finally got a green light.
Do anyone got any additional info on the building.?

^^:ohno::uh::puke::goodnight UGLY. architecture gone overboard! too gaudy, terrible design, and a design plan done literally in one day...

the late van der meiss once told his admirer that in designing skyscraper ,the building has to be simple. if you look at all skyscraper in north america,such in NY,chicago,or toronto. one notice they are very simple .

http://shanghaiist.com/2008/09/09/chinas_first_seven_star_hotel_to_be.php
China's first seven star hotel to be built in Sanya, Hainan

You won't have to go to Dubai to enjoy seven-star luxury anymore as the world's second seven star hotel — and China's first — is going to be built in Sanya, Hainan. Construction of the 120m high hotel will begin later this year and will be completed by 2011 to be managed under the Fairmont Hotels & Resorts brand. Shanghai Daily tells us more:

Located in the center of Haitang Bay in Sanya City, the hotel will spread over 150 square kilometers and include a luxury yacht club, a golf course and the biggest ocean park in Asia.
It will be among another 20 five-star hotels in the area and will be a major landmark in Sanya when it is completed.

The hotel will be designed by UK-based W.S Atkins plc which designed the world's first seven-star hotel, the Burj Al Arab, in Dubai.

A 150 square kilometer hotel?! Good heavens, that's one-seventh the size of Chongming Island and one-fifth of Singapore. And that's not all. According to the Hainan Daily, Sanya's urban planning authority have announced that the city will build not one, but two seven-star hotels.
Really, we're just a slight tad disappointed they didn't decide to go one up and build the world's first eight-star hotel instead.

Can someone tell me what a unit in this building would be selling for? I am looking for an investment property and have high hopes for this city.
Any info would be appreciated.

Huaxi city centre by MAD and others

February 17th, 2009

YOUNG INTERNATIONAL ARCHITECTS COLLABORATE TO
DESIGN HIGH-DENSITY URBAN NATURE IN CHINA

In 2008, MAD organized and invited 11 young international architects to carry out an urban experiment: to design the Huaxi city centre of Guiyang, in South Western China. The architects invited by MAD included: Atelier Manferdini (USA), BIG (DENMARK), Dieguez Fridman (ARGENTINA), EMERGENT/Tom Wiscombe (USA), HouLiang Architecture (CHINA), JDS (DENMARK/BELGIUM), MAD (CHINA), Mass Studies (KOREA), Rojkind Arquitectos (MEXICO), Serie (UK/INDIA), Sou Fujimoto Architects (JAPAN). The masterplan was developed by Shanghai Tongji Urban Planning and Design Institute, Studio 6, together with MAD.

In the past 15 years, around 10 billion sqm of built space has been created in the urban areas of China. In 20 years time, another 200 to 400 new cities will be built. Until now, the results of this overwhelming urbanization have been defined by high-density, high-speed and low-quality duplication: the urban space is meaningless, crowded and soulless.

Are we going to continue copying the skyline of Western cities created over a hundred years of industrial civilisation? Will Manhattan and Chicago continue to be our model city, even after 15 years of urban construction in China? Is there an alternative future for our cities that lies in the current social condition, where new technologies leave the machine age behind, and where the city increasingly invades the natural space? Based on an Eastern understanding of nature, this joint urban experiment aims to explore whether we can use new technologies and global ideas to reconnect the natural and man-made world.

The site of Huaxi is famous for its dramatic and beautiful landscape, as well as a diverse mix of minority cultural inhabitants during its history. Its future is defined by the local government’s urban planning as a new urban centre for finance, cultural activities and tourism. MAD brought the young architects together here in the summer of 2008, for a 3-day workshop to create an experimental urban vision for Huaxi.

Each architect provided a unique design for a single part of the masterplan, based on their own understanding and interpretation of the local natural and cultural elements. The result is a series of organic individual buildings, growing from the natural environment, and working together to produce a compound of diverse urban activities. In this high density urban environment, the limits of urbanization are controlled and set by nature; the buildings take on the dynamic topography of the site, touching the landscape in a more interactive way.

Generic verticality is replaced by a complex taxonomy of urban activities, defined by a multiplicity of connections, detours and short cuts. The natural and the artificial are fused together, revealing an image of a future architecture. The ecological method here is not just focused on saving energy; rather, the goal is to create a new, balanced urban atmosphere which can evoke the feeling of exploring the natural environment. The city is no longer determined by the leftover logic of the industrial revolution (speed, profit, efficiency) but instead follows the ‘fragile rules’ of nature.

This collaborative experiment thus provides an alternative, responsive model for the development of the urban centre: a man-made symbiosis, in harmony with nature, in which people are free to develop their own independent urban experience.

China has become the global laboratory for urbanization, where the logical endpoint of current architectural trends can be seen, and the effects of leaving private developers to create cities can be most keenly felt. This urban experiment is not intended as an idealized urban reality, but as an attempt to push these trends to their purest forms, with all of the benefits and problems that this brings. MAD is aware of, and actively encouraging, the failings and successes of this project.

Xiamen To Build Seven-Star Standard Hotel

June 24, 2009 | Print | Email Email | Category: Industry News

City of Dreams, a lush seven-star standard hotel consisted of three buildings, will be built on floating islands near Crocodile Island, Xiamen.

Construction of the hotel by the end of 2009, and is expected to be finished before the National Day holiday in 2012.

According to Xu Shiyong, the founder of the project, the hotel will have a total area of over 100,000 square meters with more than 800 rooms of different styles, a grand ballroom accommodating 1,000 people, an international conference hall, a press center, tennis court, outdoor swimming pool, and other amenities.

Apart from the City of Dreams, Anxi in Fujian province and Tianjin are also planning to build seven-star standard hotels. Currently the Burj Al Arab in Dubai is the world's only "seven-star" hotel.

Foshan Pearl Gymnasium, Foshan, China

Thursday 02 Jul 2009

Pearl of the orient

Mitsuru Senda's gymnasium complets in Foshan

Foshan Pearl Gymnasium is a multi-functional sport facility that accommodates various activities such as official sport games, training, assembly and events as well as citizens’ leisure and exercise.

http://static.worldarchitecturenews.com/project/uploaded_files/11957_EDIfoshan385.jpg

The climate of Foshan is sub-tropical climate with heavy rain, severe heat and humidity particularly between July and September. EDI considered all the facilities should be protected from such severe climate by shelter and determined to employ multistage overhanging ring truss system. This structural system is characterized by the main frame of horizontal rings. Vertical members to support rings are arranged alternately. For additional reinforcement, diagonal bracing are arranged on the surface of the domes. The slits between horizontal rings ensure light and outside air coming through. Because horizontal rings acts as eaves, this creates dynamic architectural impression with strong contrast of light and shade. This gymnasium is consisted of Main Arena, Sub-Arena and Citizens’ Arena. At the lower level, 3 ring domes are combined by contour shaped rings. Therefore, 3 arenas are organically and functionally linked together.

By providing water spaces surrounding the gymnasium, cool air is introduced inside the domes. EDI attempts the entire reliance on natural ventilation using multiple windows fit between the rings, except for the minimum use of mechanical cooling during hot and humid July to September. Natural lighting is controlled by automatic blind installed between rings.

With silver aluminum dome roofs like pearls, which also act as heat reflection, this sports dome stands as a symbol of the city and as an environmental architecture that put stress on light, ventilation and temperature in response to local climate.
