What he said. Those are some wicked, wicked shots sir!

Thanks for the kind words, appreciated!

Here's a high res look at TVCC's progression. You can notice that the green material is being removed from the "skin" on top of the building!

And here's a closer up look at the massive Service Building, east of CCTV & TVCC:

As per usual, many more photos here: CCTV Building Development Construction.

Enjoy! Also, if you'd like specific shots of specific details, please (clearly) let me know what you'd like to see!

Wow, cool. It almost looks cooler under construction than it does in the completed rendering.

To celebrate my new camera purchase (Canon 40D for those interested), here's a relatively high resolution night shot:

And a 20-image stitch (original file is 7073 x 6168!)

Enjoy.

Holy shit. History is being written in Beijing..

Thanks for showing us, Tom.

Heavily resized stitch:

Enjoy.

beijingtom · #69 Posted **Sep 3, 2007, 3:17 AM**

I was able to make a stitch of 98 images (10MP camera), which added up to about 160MP, now slightly less because of cropping... in any case, here it is:

Enjoy.

I nearly passed by the towers without noticing, but a massive horizontal element of the overhang has been added today, and very very rapidly, I might add! Here are a few perspectives:

Not very lonely at the top:

A slightly better angle:

And finally I understood what was going on:

Apologies for today's crap visibility...

Enjoy!

It's not your fault.

Great updates throughout. The most exciting construction update thread ever on SSP, I'd say.

Fabb · #72 Posted **Sep 14, 2007, 9:15 AM**

^^Those shots are amazing !
Too bad the cladding hides so much of the structure.

Complex01 · #73 Posted **Sep 14, 2007, 4:29 PM**

That is just crazy watching this building rise. Talk about an engineering marvel...

Congratulations to the world on getting a new, distinct and unique landmark.

Wonder why beijingtom hasn't updated his pictures here. But anyways, there are lots and lots of pictures in his Flickr photoset: http://flickr.com/photos/dutchtom/se...7600096629309/ .

When this is done, I want to see it in flesh.

plinko · #77 Posted **Dec 30, 2007, 6:08 PM**

You know...when I was in architecture school I wondered if I'd ever see Rem get to do something at a massive scale.

Holy hell!

Talk about putting things on another level in terms of form and structure.

Not sure why he stopped posting. I have him as a friend on flickr, so I've been able to keep up with this piece of amazing. If you're reading this, Tom, you yourself are a piece of amazing.

One word: STUNNING. The La Defénse Cube has got nothing on this big boy!

I want an office in the top section with a plate glass floor.

This thing is wicked.
