we built this city : shanghai international marina

On Thursday my class at HKU took a trip to the new Shanghai International Marina : an insanely huge space that has been designed to be the new ' Bund ' area. We had a private tour with the structural engineering team, as they showed us their inovations in steel structure and glass design : some of the techniques they were using are being done for the first time in the world ! I also got to head up the halfway-finished building that is going to be the new tallest building in Puxi; it provides one of the craziest views I have ever seen ! I only wish I had my fish-eye lens with me . .
