The use of the web diagonal to make it stiff is a good choice and to give it a simple nice elevation. I really liked the steel structure and the shape which is done in this project.

During that time the TVCC reconstruction goes on and I think they are waiting for the facade to be completed before really opening this stuff. The 10m high metal plate fence disappeared and we can now have some new nice views on the building but they build up a new fence which really shows we are not welcome inside. You can forget about the public loop I think. There are as many cameras as there are bars to this fence! The whole base, it's not a podium, looks like a public space and could have been a great public space at this location but the 3m high fence crowned by pikes just make me afraid even to get closer. Also, on the East side of the CCTV, inside its boundaries, they are building something new. The hole is huge but I really don't know what ii it they took down the opaque fence a few month ago and seem to be busy to finish the landscape around the building.

Designed by consummate democrats OMA, it fascinates and warns the viewer via neural alarm when witnessed in the flesh. Aside from all that, it is an exercise in rational circulation, which is all architecture is.

But it might be because he tries something new and experimental always. Can criticize a few buildings of his but cannot blame at his position as a great architect...
