Phoenix Centre
The Phoenix International Media Centre (Chinese: 凤凰国际传媒中心; pinyin: ''Fènghuáng Guójī Chuánméi Zhōngxīn''), also known as the Phoenix Centre (凤凰中心; ''Fènghuáng Zhōngxīn'') is a building in Beijing, China. It is located in the southwestern corner of Chaoyang Park in Beijing. The centre features a torus-like design. The building's sculptural shape originates from the " Möbius strip" and establishes a harmonical relationship with the alignment of the turning road, the street corner, and Chaoyang Park. History In 2007, Phoenix Television, a Hong Kong-based television network, proposed to build a media centre in Beijing. The building meant to represent not only the corporation spirit of Phoenix TV but also the profound cultural tradition of China. The centre was designed by the government-owned Beijing Institute of Architectural Design, with executive chief architect Shao Weiping. The enclosing of the final form involved 3,800 glass panels.

Taizhou Yangtze River Bridge
The Taizhou Yangtze River Bridge is a bridge complex over the Lower Yangtze River in Jiangsu Province in eastern China. The bridge connects Taizhou on the north bank, Yangzhong on an island in the river, and Yaoqiao Village of Zhenjiang Municipality on the south bank, and consists of a suspension bridge across the north branch stream and a pair of box-girder bridges across the south branch stream. Taizhou Bridge Complex opened in 2012. History The concept of a passage over the Yangtze was developed in 1998. It was not until December 2007 when the construction of the bridge began. It would become the first 1,000-meter-span and 3-tower-continuous-span suspension bridge. The idea of multiple towers and the pylon suspension lines to connect them was to decrease the impact that river flow can have on the structure. Being the first of its kind, the bridge would influence and shape various studies on structural engineering. This would lead to resolutions to known issues and research ...
