The Iron Cutain.

Appropriate I guess for the one party and marxist (in theory at least) state of China.

they look like the scene for a shooting game...some of the quality of the concrete is terrible, which is typical to alot of the building sites ive seen in china....it looks like crap off the form and they just throw 1000 people at it to patch it up with spatulas and grout.

ive heard some interesting stories comming out of the watercube across the road, where the architects are pissed off with catwalks hanging from under the ceiling making it look like crap..... when there is 10m of space between ceilng and roof to use. maoaaaaa!!!

It looks like it's from one of those futuristic movies where the world is in peril...

It is certainly unique and will prove to be very iconic - but I would rather have Telstra Stadium in my city...
