[SMITH]

Well. Ok, then.

This design has already advanced to the permitting stage, so it’s largely a fait-accompli that it will be built. Zaha Hadid’s firm is the designer, and as with most of their output, the form is iconic, artistic, and radical. They even have taken care to put in ample greenspace and various landscape urbanist touches. 
Just a mite of a problem. 
HOW IN THE HELL WILL YOU FIND ANYTHING?
HOW WILL ANYONE FIND YOU?
AND, WHY WOULD ANYONE GO TO THIS COMPLEX? (to understand this, click through the image and look at the bottom-left image that shows where this development is in relation to Shanghai’s center.)
