At 610 metres, the TV Tower in Guangzhou is one of the world's tallest buildings. The tower's form, weight and numerous facilities, plus its need to withstand earthquakes and typhoons, made its construction unusually complex. Existing legislation and working methods could not cope with the demands of such a building. 'Supermodel' reports at length on the project's history, design and construction, offering a new example of how megascale projects can be developed and realised on-site. The book also considers current architectural practice in China, now a major incubator for experimental designs.
