Structure in China Stuns All

by Jillian Lobato

Possibly one of the most unique structures in the world, the architects at MAD are going ahead with an outrageous high-rise development in Chongqing, China. The building will have 70 unique floors that will be based on a curved abstract shape built around a cylindrical core that runs around the building, and it plans on blending nature with an urban feel. Essentially, it’s a metropolis mountain. Each level will also be rimmed with floor-to-ceiling windows and balconies, making it appear that the floors are floating on top of one another.

The end result to this amazing structure will not just be an incredible place to look at but an incredible place to look from. The transparency of the building combined with its extreme height will help for fantastic views of the city. Will you buy a space?
