Don't really like the shape of the building...

TANGELD_SLC · #3 Posted: **Jan 5, 2009, 3:17 AM**

I do

But where is Yantai? I've never heard of it before.

MapleLeaf · #4 Posted: **Jan 5, 2009, 8:54 AM**

Me too.

I think it really looks good, especially the top. I´d like to see more renderings to get an impression of what it looks like from street level.

It's the biggest city you've never heard of. 6.5 million people about 600 kms (what is that, about 400 miles or so ?) south-east of Beijing.

currently Yantai has a small but growing skyline:

surfs up

Is this Yintai, are they spelled the same. Yintai is about 3 hours north of Qingdao and I have been to Yintai a few times to fly to Beijing but never saw its skyline or beaches. So is Yantai and Yintai the same city?

I love it, great building!

It is Yantai (not "Yintai") you have been to.

Doesn't look that small to me!

What a marvelous building

Thanks for sharing! Keep posting more pics, mate

I really like the design. Lots of visual interest in the top 1/4 of the mass.

What is the "pattern" I'm seeing in the cladding? Is that intentional? That would be rather odd to have different color / sheen of glass to give some sort of artistic design, no?
