Via IHT, A fierce fire engulfed a major new building in Beijing that houses a luxury hotel and cultural center Monday, the last day of celebrations for the lunar new year when the city was alight with fireworks.
The building was designed by the Dutch architect Rem Koolhaas and is part of China Central Television's new headquarters, an angular wonder of modernist architecture that was built to coincide with the Beijing Olympics last year.
The fire was burning from the ground floor to the top floor, the flames reflecting in the glass facade of the main CCTV tower next to the hotel and cultural center.
The 241-room Mandarin Oriental hotel in the building was due to open this year.
Flames were spotted around 9:30 p.m., and within 20 minutes the fire had spread throughout the building.

This building is one of the many postmodern icon featured in the world of modern architecture. Using the idiom of modern architecture combined with various elements of classical architecture in eclectic style, this architecture was to bring back the memory of the past to the future, in a context that can be accepted as a filler of 'emptiness' as a result of modern architecture that is too functional. This is because, the old buildings in the immigrants settlement complex from Italy needed a touch a new life for the building does not reflect the culture of Italy.

In the postmodern world, sometimes a building needed to appear its identity in a way like this, because it has an identity that can not be provided by the uniformity of modern architecture. In Piazza d'Italy, elements in the architecture that grew up in Italy, appear to be part of the new refreshed piazza of the complex, such as the emergence of the doric collumns, Corinthian, and ionic and placed in an informal way, in almost a humorous way connected to the elements of the new sculpture.
Building in the Piazza is a gateway to enter the complex and residential area that the recipient has a cultural identity. Its plan form a circle, with a pool, and derivative 'flat' map of Italy in the pond that shows the close relationship between Sicilian people and sea water.

The existence of this architecture in the Piazza, can be categorized as Sculpture, where the architecture appears as a fragment of the past that are withdrawn again in the context of modern living and located in a place far from Italy, as will reconnect fragments of memory in new clothes.

Fashion designers and architects having collaboration and one vision is more common, this time Calvin Klein collaborates with REX Architecture for one of their seasonal decoration in New York. This Holiday display is a window display with an ultra-modern dollhouse as the central focus.
“By treating a New York street like landscape—and Calvin Klein's storefront like a New York street—we created a detached single-family dollhouse in Manhattan for the Calvin Klein woman,” said architect Prince-Ramus. “Undeniably frivolous, the ‘Madison Avenue (Doll)House’ still suggests a kernel of an idea for accommodating growth in existing population centers.”
