Is this a remote control to light up buildings ? Not really … It is much better …

Dernière création de Zaha Hadid, le centre Galaxy Soho de Pékin est typique des constructions urbaines asiatiques car il mélange des activités différentes:  un espace commercial sur les trois premiers étages, un espace entreprises sur les 20 étages suivants et enfin un espace restauration/ entertainment sur les trois derniers étages, pour profiter de la vue. Mais c’est la taille du complexe qui frappe au-delà de la qualité architecturale car c’est le regroupement de 5 bâtiments distincts en un seul lieu.

Last achievement of Zaha Hadid, the Beijing Galaxy Soho center is in line with asian urban constructions as it mixes very different activities, vertically : the first three levels are dedicated to retail and shopping areas, the next 20 levels will be offices and the last three levels are allocated to bars, restaurant, entertainment, to enjoy one of the best Beijing view. But what is truly amazing is the size of the complex as it brings together, with a great architectural flair, 5 distinct buildings.
