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 you'll see in a while.
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 has reached level 20 of 46 storeys, and 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.
I think it's gorgeous. When I first saw concept pictures of this project, it was quite spectacular. It's essentially two towers leaning against each other, with the whole central space glazed in. Amazing views inside and outside.
China's cities are all starting to look like scenes from Blade Runner
