CNOOC building viewsPosted by Jeremy Goldkorn, March 10, 2008 11:38 AM
 The building was designed by American architectural firm KPF (Kohn Pederson Fox Architects), the firm behind the design of the Shanghai World Financial Center in Shanghai, the Rodin Museum in Seoul, and also the Architect-of-Record for the latest expansion of the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York City. The photos here are from TooManyTribbles. She also recently uploaded a set of photos of an old Red Flag (hong qi) sedan car. There's more about CNOOC and its building at this previous Danwei post.

Comments on CNOOC building viewsAlways been one of my favorite buildings in BJ...at this point likely common knowledge and as earlier noted on Danwei link , the building was designed with an oil tanker's bow in mind... AjS I like the building, it reminds me of a giant tupperware container. *sigh* another one hosted on Blogspot. KPF has certainly been fond of curvy green glass. After 25 years, 333 Wacker Drive in Chicago is still one of their most effective expressions using the material. This building is also famous for looking like a Kohler tankless toilet. I remember Kohler even went so far as to put a billboard for the toilet across the street to reinforce the connection. For the record, I like both the building and the toilet. The building is cool but this person's pictures are great. This person really knows how to use a camera. Niu Bees dude. |
