The problem is, China refuses to admit that human pollution and emissions are damaging the environment, so until they accept this and realise the emissions they are producing, it won’t happen and they will continue to build superscrapers that look like glass boxes placed on top of each other.

Citation: “A passionate environmentalist, he intends to help China build a future of clean air and sustainable living”. It’s a lie or he must be blind or something, but I think he means the opposite!

China already has polluted air. Don’t make it worse then it already is! Use that money to restore the existing buildings, make the inhabitable, invest in clean air filter systems, real sustainable projects and reduce the air conditioners from the facade to zero! Every year in China there are millions of these placed on buildings and houses, the ‘effect’ influences greenhouse gases, this means more heat and polluted air outside, dehydration of water, bad health and dirty buildings with high maintenance costs! That’s why they don’t want to clean it. So snap out and stop dreaming big, fix the matter first before moving forward.

Not only China but everyone!

This is easily the ugliest building I’ve ever seen in my life – it shouldn’t even be on a design blog.

Is there no aesthetic appeal? I don’t think the bigger the better. The design does not solve anything. Prefab elements isn’t a new idea. I wonder how long they had this Sky City in the works. Maybe planned it out in three months, like how fast it’s gonna built.

Koolhaas is correct: “The skyscraper is no longer an interesting form.”
