in the last two days you've posted "updates please??" and "anyone there??" in just about every single thread in the construction forums, give it a rest updates come when they come, people may not want to go book flights to guangzhou just to appease your desire for new pictures, be patient and stop posting in every single thread

My favorite design for this project didn't win but i'm sure that it will look amazing when it's finished. 610m is unbelievably tall, the only way you can truly appreciate the height is by actually seeing it in real life.

i still only look at this structure as 450m.with a 160m spike on top.
i mean the spike could be 30m high or 300m high .
CN tower seems to be more flowing design. you probably wont see the spike from ground level.only when from a distance.

^indeed bamboo is one of the most surprising substances on the planet, i've always wondered why you never see massive bamboo structures or bamboo reinforced concrete, its used for scaffolding on account of its cheapness so why not?

Anyway this is the most amazing construction project going up right now in my eyes, its such an unconventional design, and the size of those steel tubes is incredible. I look forward to watching this rise over the next few years its gonna be awesome.
