Longitude: 46.1032° E]]> Massachusetts Institute of Technology]]> Wangjing SOHO Beijing is a three-tower office development by Zaha Hadid Architects that opened in 2014, standing 118 m, 127 m, and 200 m high and comprising a floor space of more than 500,000 m². The layout is irregular and fluid, with the piers distributed as if they were river-smoothed stones, and it is featured by continuous glass façade walls and white aluminium bands forming horizontal ribbons along their curved volumes. Ground-level entrances give access into shopping and office circulation space, vertical circulation by elevator and stair/escalators, and rooftop plazas linking the piers. Composed of reinforced concrete, steel, and glass, the building is focused on transparency and contemporariness, as light and darkness move across the day-long flowing façades. The work is an expression of metaphors of motion and nature radiating corporate splendour and innovative spirit within Beijing’s fast-expanding skyline and is a question of modern epigraph about sustainability and branding functions of iconic architecture.]]> https://www.zaha-hadid.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/489-1683x1080.jpg]]> https://www.zaha-hadid.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/zha_wangjingsoho_f_01.jpg]]> https://www.zaha-hadid.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/zha_wangjingsoho_f_10.jpg]]> https://www.zaha-hadid.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/zha_wangjingsoho_f_28.jpg]]> Longitude: 116.4746° E]]>

These supports hold important lighting which previous would be candles and torches now LED's for safety purposes. Along the sides built in seating, tables. and other misc items lay along the walls. Stepping down into the center a large stone hearth for cooking stands between two massive dinning tables ready for a feast. Weapons and shields hang on the walls.]]>
