I'm way into big buildings.  They do a lot more for a city's character and future than most people recognize.  So, I think it's HAWTaction [hot ak-shuhn] to keep tabs on new projects like the Nakheel Harbour and Tower, Bahrain WTC, Honeycomb SkyscraperBurj Dubai... in Dubai... in Pictures, CCTV and TVCC Towers, Tokyo Sky Tree, Burj Dubai (Revisited), Dancing Towers, Dynamic Tower, Dubai Towers, The Lighthouse (Paris), The Lighthouse (Dubai), Antilla, London's Super Tower, Eiffel Tower, Shuffle Tower, Full Moon, Caspian Bay, Chicago Spire, Chicago's Aqua Tower, Infinity Tower, Teardrop, Christmas Tree or the Burj Dubai.

I've actually received emails asking about this building.  Obviously, I was going to cover this beauty, but the requests has sped up its delivery to you.  Rem Koolhaas (@ the firm OMA) is one of those rare architects who has transferred over to pop culture.  He was in Time's top 100 of The World's Most Influential People in 2008, and he's collected a handful of architecture awards, including the prestigious Pritzker in 2000.  Why?  Because he can design a building that'll melt your mind.  This is the Central Chinese Television (CCTV) Tower in China.
