Embracing China's openness to "aggressive, uncompromised, out-there" architecture, the Los Angeles-based firm Morphosis announced plans to break ground on Chinese soil for the first time. The Giant Group Pharmaceutical Campus, to be completed in April 2009 just outside Shanghai, will dramatically alter the site's landscape. Plans call for massively cantilevered office spaces, swooping above and around a four-lane highway, canals, and a man-made lake. In a related story, architect David Fisher looked to the New York skyline as a potential second site for his "rotating skyscraper," a similarly ambitious project that generates energy via a building-wide system of dynamic, interlocking housing units.
