The so called "Birds Feet," Beijing's CCTV building. Working in broadcast, a tour of the facility would have been nice but being the headquarters of the China Media Group and CCTV, access appeared rather limited as one could imagine.

The tower serves as headquarters for China Media Group (CMG) that was formerly at the China Central Television Building located to the west. The new CCTV Headquarters won the 2013 Best Tall Building Worldwide from the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat.

Rem Koolhaas and Ole Scheeren of OMA were the architects in charge for the building, while Cecil Balmond at Arup provided the complex engineering design.
