OMA wins bid for Stock Exchange building in Shenzhen. The 250m-high building will be OMA’s second biggest project in China after the vast CCTV building in Beijing, which is under construction.

I don't completely understand Rem and OMA's design philosophy for the project, as it is in the initial stages of development, but I found the building unfamiliar with OMA's vernacular. It is a disappointment when a firm such as OMA, that is culturally and politically aware, creates a phallic building that is the capacity of SOM.
