Zaha Hadid Architects Unveil Photographs of "World's Tallest Atrium" Under Construction in Beijing
Zaha Hadid Architects have released new photos showcasing the ongoing construction progress of Leeza SOHO, a mixed-use office tower in Beijing's Lize Financial Business District. This twisting, contorted structural skeleton, which weaves together two separate sections of the tower and visually fuses them, will house the world's tallest atrium, rising the full height of the building.

The 172,800sqm building straddles a new subway tunnel that diagonally divides the site. According to the architects, the tower is designed to "rise as a single volume, divided into two halves."

As the tower rises, the diagonal axis through the site?defined by the subway tunnel?is re-aligned by ?twisting? the atrium forty five degrees to orientate the atrium?s higher floors with the historic north-south/east-west axes on which the Chinese capital was founded.
