Phoenix Center, Beijing, Modern commercial complex in Maizidian Subdistrict, Beijing, China
The Phoenix Center spans 65,000 square meters with two office towers encased in an ecological shell that follows a building-in-building design concept.
The Beijing Institute of Architectural Design completed this 55-meter-high structure in 2014, marking a new phase in Beijing's commercial development.
The center functions as a media hub for Phoenix Satellite Television while providing spaces for public exhibitions and community gatherings.
The building incorporates natural ventilation systems through 30-meter-high cone-shaped spaces that create air circulation throughout the structure.
The exterior shell, inspired by the Mobius Strip, collects rainwater along its structural ribs for irrigation and decorative water features.

Chinese architecture spans modern skyscrapers, historic fortifications, and technical structures. From the glass bridge in Longtan Valley to the Canton Tower, these buildings combine tradition and modern technology. Temples, fortresses, and museums tell the country's history, while newer structures like the Tianjin Binhai Library and the Beijing National Stadium represent contemporary development. The collection includes examples from different regions across China. In Beijing stand the Phoenix Center, the National Stadium, and the Pangu Plaza. Shanghai houses the Oriental Pearl Tower and Nanjing Road. In Jiangsu Province, the Danyang-Kunshan Bridge extends for 102 miles (164 kilometers). The Canton Tower in Guangzhou reaches a height of 1,970 feet (600 meters). Historic sites complement the modern structures. The Xi'an City Wall in Shaanxi dates from the Ming Dynasty. The Ancient Town of Pingyao in Shanxi preserves traditional architecture from several centuries. The Leshan Giant Buddha in Sichuan was carved into a cliff face during the 8th century. The Wenchuan Earthquake Museum documents the 2008 natural disaster.
