Tom Dyckoff Reviews the Finally Opened CCTV HQ Building

Staying in China for just a minute, but putting the Olympics aside to catch our collective wits before they melt from overexposure (and there’s nothing worse than melty wits), we turn to one of the first full review of Koolhaas/OMA‘s new CCTV Headquarters in Beijing.
