China's cities are full of interesting buildings of all shapes and sizes, but Zaha Hadid's Leeza Soho tower in Beijing, must rate among one of the more interesting skyscrapers

Rising to a height of 207 m (679 ft), the Leeza Soho tower's interior will be split into two equal halves and joined by the world's tallest atrium, which twists dramatically. The project will also include an energy-efficient curtain wall with natural ventilation, in addition to rainwater collection and a grey water system.

Construction on the tower's 46 storeys is more than halfway complete. It is expected to hold the world record for the tallest atrium, a title currently held by Burj Al Arab in Dubai.

The Leeza Soho is expected to be completed in late 2018.

If this was underground it would have felt like Portal 2.

One of the most unique perspective shots I've seen in this sub. idc if it's a repost, I hadn't seen it before and this is gorgeously evil. Thank you.
