Beijing - A building will rise to a height of 500 meters, with construction starting today in the Chinese capital. According to the AFP agency, it will be the tallest building in Beijing.
The building will be named Cun, after the traditional Chinese wine jug, the shape of which the tower-like glass and steel structure will resemble. It will contain both offices and attractions for tourists.
According to the Global Times, construction companies will use the most modern energy-saving technologies. There will be an observation area on the roof.
Cun will be located near the current tallest building in Beijing - the China World Trade Center, which stands at 330 meters.
The Chinese capital, like other cities, has become a magnet for architects from around the world due to the construction boom accompanying the country’s rapid economic growth.
For example, the opera house near Tiananmen Square is the work of French architect Paul Andreu. The pants-shaped tower created by Dutch architect Rem Koolhaas for the CCTV television station is regarded as one of the most daring architectural works of the present day.
