People’s Daily new building design model
Burj Al Arab
The New building of People’s Daily will be built on the east Sanhuan (东三环) in Beijing, located at Beijing’s CBD (Central Business District) eastside expansion which is adjacent to the CCTV’s newly constructed headquarters complex – the “Big Underpants”.
While we are on the subject of CCTV buildings I thought I will brief on the recent CCTV architecture scandal. The “Big Underpants” might just be a joke nick name for this building but the recent CCTV architecture porn controversy took it to another level and triggered great public uproar. The CCTV annex and the CCTV complex resembles a pair of male and female genitalia! This article from Danwei uncovers the scandal in great details.
It turns out that while Chinese audiences have been spending the last five years watching construction proceed on this massive erection of glass and steel, completely innocent as to its filthy connotations, architect Rem Koolhaas may have been aware of the resemblance all along, and he might have even done it on purpose.
Netizens found the images in the book “content” which was published by CCTV architect Rem Koolhaas, reveals the building resembling a pair of male and female genitalia.
CCTV Headquarters and the annex
Rem Koolhaas brushed aside the rumors in an interview with CCTV that did not directly mention the possible pornographic interpretation of the CCTV complex.
Perhaps the People’s Daily building design was not nearly as controversy as CCTVs, but none of the less people have already started the criticism.
This is a perfect pair with the “Big Underpants”, in my home I have a old style urinal pot looks just like it, People’s Daily is awesome, CCTV already has a shocking “Big Underpants”. Now there is a antique Urinal Pot, we don’t know what will they come up with next by which media company.
It looks so much like an electric water pot.
Imitation is imitation, and they say its original “hemispherical dome”, as if Chinese people have never seen the famous Burj Al Arab Hotel.
Shanzhai Burj Al Arab Hotel, the cost of this Shanzhai product maybe is too much! And claim to be creative! How will foreigners look at us!

can anyone confirm to me why the people’s daily building needs a helipad? since when do heads of state owned newspapers do their business in helicopters? especially in beijing, where helicopters are all but banned? the more I think about it, the more I think this is not serious.
The Burj Dubai is a marvel of modern engineering that stands at 818 metres tall. The Burj Dubai will have its grand opening on the 1st of December of this year.
