Horizontal Scraper

I've posted about Steven Holl before but can't resist a second post as his latest building in China has just been completed.

The scale is incredible based on the concept of a horizontal skyscraper.

Every aspect of it just excites the hell out of me.

Take a close look at the door handle in this picture and tell me it doesn't create a reaction.

The project covers every aspect of a modern architect's aspirations.

De Zeen offers some more photographs of the project http://bit.ly/cOaHMz

I particularly liked the illustration of the symbiotic relationship between the structure and its landscape. So completely Holl. Brilliant.
