Wangjing SOHO in Wangjing, Beijing, was designed by Zaha Hadid for the developer SOHO China. It officially opened on September 20, 2014. The article gives no address, construction dates or dimensions, and describes curvilinear, asymmetric skyscrapers whose walls resemble dancing Chinese fans.
The complex has three towers with office and retail space. It was originally designed as two towers, then redesigned as three lower towers due to height concerns. The skin is metallic, with sheet metal panels and double-curvature panels rationalized through software.
SOHO China chairman Pan Shiyi said the design was inspired by koi fish. The tallest tower is ranked the seventh-tallest woman-designed building in the world. The complex stands between central Beijing and Beijing Capital International Airport.
