Olympic Multifunctional Broadcast Tower, Broadcasting tower in Olympic Green, Beijing, China.
The Ling Long Pagoda reaches 128 meters in height and features six triangular glass pods separated by open spaces between each level.
During the 2008 Summer Olympics, major networks including BBC, CBC, and France Televisions operated broadcasting studios from different levels of the tower.
The structure combines modern broadcasting requirements with Chinese design elements, reflected in its name Ling Long, which translates to delicate in Chinese.
Each of the seven floors splits into two levels within an equilateral triangle shape, supported by three structural ribs at the corners.
The tower displays the Olympic rings on one of its suspended pods, making it recognizable from multiple vantage points across the Olympic Green.
