The first phenomenon that has really inspired me in a long while - Rem Koolhaas's plan for the CCTV building in Beijing to be completed by 2008 [via Dublog].

Here is another brief article from Arcspace [via Pureselipsquarejaw], and my own find - an animated plan of this new site (although the file weighs in at a hefty 10Mbs).

In a world of increasingly pompous ambitions for the built environment, I'm endlessly impressed by this design's eschewing of "world's tallest building" monumentality for a beautifully generous attention to creating a site, not to mention a radical new architectural innovation emerging right before our eyes. Good news, for once.
