Robotic futuristic George Jetson craaaa...

Had this grand notion to catalog all the buildings getting they erect on (I can't help but to dip into the "get my/they ____ on" pool; it's the gift that keeps on giving, but I'll try to lay off it for while...no promises), but I basically got lazy so I'll post these pics for now.

These next to photos were taken from the office building where I'm working.




One of my bosses, Dan, showed me some renderings for the construction project across the street, which will house the new (state-owned) CCTV headquarters. Rem Koolhaas designed this bad boy on that ol' robotic futuristic George Jetson, craaaaa..."

For further explication of recurrent "futuristic George Jetson craaaa..." references, see/hear below (the intro):



It's just my opinion, but I don't think Craig Mack was the most handsome MC in the history of hip hop.

More George Jetson futuristic robotic ish. Check out the Beijing Olympic Stadium.



The Beijing Olympics in summer of 2008 is going to be China's coming out party. It's going to be off the wok. All this construction (that I planned to/but did not document) is supposed to be completed by then. Nuts. Nuts I say.

It's going to be just like in the video below, except for the last part. More on the celebration end of the spectrum, less on the sinister alien invasion end of the spectrum. Or maybe the "aliens" are just late-coming celebrators wearing alien costumes.




Word to Ms. Mack-Lowe for showing this to me.
