Rob Ball from Daljit Singh design studio has chosen really original way for promoting such, on the face of it, ordinary product as sausages to decorate them with tattoo I’m not sure now I’m ready to taste these “Mr Singh’s Bangra sausages”.:-) but no doubt the idea is defiantly great.

August 7, 2008This is the new buildings of China Central Television in Beijing. The building will be completed in December 2008. Rem Koolhaas and Ole Scheeren of OMA are the architects for the building, while Arup provides the complex engineering design. The building will stand at 234 metres (768 ft) tall and will have 51 floors.
The main building is not a traditional tower, but a continuous loop of five horizontal and vertical sections covering 4,100,000 square feet (381,000 m²) of floor space, creating an irregular grid on the building’s facade with an open center. The construction of the building is considered to be a structural challenge, especially because it is in a seismic zone. Because of its radical shape, it has acquired the nickname “Big Shorts”.
A second building, the Television Cultural Centre , includes a hotel, a visitor’s centre, a large public theatre, and exhibition spaces. It is visible from the main intersection of the new Beijing Central Business District through the window of the main CCTV headquarters building. A media park forms a landscape of public entertainment, outdoor filming areas, and production studios as an extension of the central green axis of the CBD.
