World's Largest Building Opens
China has finally beaten dubai to it as it has opened the worlds largest building. It is a vast wavy rectangular box of glass and steel with shops, offices and a faux ocean beach with a huge LED screen for video sunsets.
It is called the Mammoth New Century Center located in the southern chinese city of Chengdu with 1.7 million square meters of floor space ( or 329 football fields) edging out the previous record hold Dubai Airport.
Backed by local governments, the building in a planned urban district south of Chengdu aims to boost the global stature of the capital city of Sichuan province, known for its spicy cuisine.
Once fully completed, the centerpiece of the building will be a water park with a 400-meter coast and beaches under a gigantic glass dome. Up to 6,000 visitors at a time will be able to sunbathe, play in a wave pool, sip cocktails or feast on seafood. A 150-meter-by-40-meter LED screen will rise above a section of water with videos of an ocean horizon.
The center will include two five-star hotels as well as high-end boutiques set in a replica of a Mediterranean town under faux blue skies. The shopping section has been open to the public since late June, though the building’s office space has been occupied for some time - Source Inquirer News
