Photographs from the construction of CCTV by OMA

The SkyscraperCity website brought eight new photographs from the construction of the headquarters of the Chinese television CCTV and TVCC (Television Cultural Center). This 230-meter tall architecturally unusual skyscraper with a usable area of over half a million square meters is a joint work of Rem Koolhaas and Ole Scheeren, whose interview for the British The Independent we brought you yesterday - here. The construction for three-quarters of a billion dollars is expected to be fully operational before the start of the Olympic Games in Beijing in 2008. Info>
