    I dunno. If I worked in a steel pipe factory I probably wouldn't want to see any more of them.

    The bookshelf staircase looks like it has additional load bearing material just in case one of the steps fail. That's triple duty for you right there.

    And in classic Chinese tradition with the environment, it will later be revealed that the solar panels were non-functional, released toxic fumes, and that the entire complex was powered by a coal plant ten miles away that had been converted to run on baby pandas.

    Could they have made it any uglier? By ugly I mean that it's too utilitarian looking.

    Interesting design. It looks like a flying saucer crash landed. I wonder how much power is supplied by solar (as a percentage of total).
