    Shanghai
    Pudong Skyline, by night, Shanghai, China. Skyline of Pudong as seen from the Bund, with landmark Oriental Pearl tower and Jin Mao tower, Shanghai, China. The word "bund" means an embankment or an embanked quay. The word comes from the Persian word band, through Hindustani, meaning an embankment, levee or dam (a cognate of English terms "bind", "bond" and "band", and the German word "Bund", etc.). It is thus named after the bunds/levees in Baghdad along the Tigris, when the Baghdadi Jews such as the prominent Sassoon family settled their business in Shanghai in the 19th century and built heavily on the bund on the Huangpo. In these Chinese port cities, the English term came to mean, especially, the embanked quay along the shore. In English, "Bund" is pronounced to rhyme with "fund".
    There are numerous sites in India, China, and Japan which are called "bunds" (e.g. the Yokohama Bund). However, "The Bund", without qualification as to location, usually refers to this stretch of embanked riverfront in Shanghai.
    The Chinese name for the Bund is unrelated in meaning: it means literally the "outer bank," referring to the Huangpu River, because this part of the riverfront was located farther downstream than the "inner bank" area adjacent to the old walled city of Shanghai. The Shanghai Bund has dozens of historical buildings, lining the Huangpu River, that once housed numerous banks and trading houses from the United Kingdom, France, the United States, Italy, Russia, Germany, Japan, the Netherlands and Belgium, as well as the consulates of Russia and Britain, a newspaper, the Shanghai Club and the Masonic Club. The Bund lies north of the old, walled city of Shanghai. It was initially a British settlement; later the British and American settlements were combined in the International Settlement. Magnificent commercial buildings in the Beaux Arts style sprung up in the years around the turn of the 20th century as the Bund developed into a major financial center of East Asia.

    Shanghai
    Pundong area, Shanghai. Skyscrapers near IFC. Shanghai International Finance Centre, usually abbreviated as Shanghai IFC, is a commercial building complex and a shopping centre (branded Shanghai IFC mall) in Shanghai. It incorporates two tower blocks at 249.9 metres (south tower) and 259.9 metres (north tower) housing offices and a hotel, and an 85-metre tall multi-storey building behind and between the two towers.

    Shanghai IFC is located in Lujiazui, in Pudong, Shanghai. It occupies a prominent position southeast of the Lujiazui roundabout, diagonally across from the Oriental Pearl Tower and across the road from Super Brand Mall. It is adjacent to Lujiazui Station on Metro Line 2, and can be accessed directly from the underground station via a tunnel.

    The south tower of Shanghai IFC and part of the multistorey building was completed in 2009, while the north tower and the rest of the complex was completed in 2010. Work continued for several years afterwards on peripheral aspects of the development, including landscaping and footbridge connections to nearby buildings and Lujiazui Central Park.

    The Ritz-Carlton Hotel occupies the south tower, while the north tower houses the current Shanghai headquarters of HSBC in China. Other prominent tenants of the complex include an Apple Store under the sunken forecourt of the building (topped by a cylindrical glass skylight rising from the forecourt), a multi-screen cinema, and a Citysuper supermarket. The remainder of the retail area is largely taken up by upscale chain restaurants and international luxury fashion brands. (Photo by Sergi Reboredo)*** Please Use Credit from Credit Field ***

    These stunning constructions could grace the city skylines of the future.

    They are the amazing entries in the internationally-renowned eVolo Magazine 2014 Skyscraper Competition.

    Jaw-dropping concepts range from mushroom-like structures in the desert (Sand Babel) to a seemingly crumpled city structure (Infill Aquifer).

    The first place was awarded to Yong Ju Lee from the United States for his project "Vernacular Versatility". The proposal reinterprets traditional Korean architecture in a contemporary mixed-use high-rise.

    eVolo Magazine received 525 projects from 43 countries in all continents. The Jury, formed by leaders of the architecture and design fields selected 3 winners and 20 honourable mentions.

    BILLIONAIRE PINAULT UNVEILS VENICE ART MUSEUM

    French billionaire Francois Pinault has opened a new modern art gallery in Venice.

    The Punta della Dogana is housed in a disused customs house that stands at the entrance to Venice's Grand Canal.

    Two years in the making, and at a cost of 20 million euros, the 17th-century building has been transformed by Japanese architect Tadao Ando.

    Pinault, 72, who owns Christie's auction house, won a 30-year lease to the site following a high-profile and bitter battle with the Guggenheim Foundation.

    Art lover Pinault boasts a private collection of some 2,500 works and 141 of these are destined for a place in the Punta della Dogana's permanent collection.

    The art museum covers nearly 5,000 square metres (over 50,000 square feet) of space and much of the building's 17th-century character has been carefully preserved.

    Describing the Punta della Dogana project as a "risky gamble," Pinault commented: "Everyone knows my passion for art. Venice gives me the chance to express it forcefully."

    Curated by American Alison Gingeras and Francesco Bonami of Italy, the centre's first show "Mapping the Studio" features works by celebrated artists such as Cy Twombly, Cindy Sherman and Jeff Koons.

    Works include a stuffed horse by Maurizio Cattelan that has apparently crashed head first in the wall.

    There is also a piece by Chinese artist Huang Yong Ping which shows women in burkas playing football with US soldiers on a field suspended under a bat-infested cave roof. The work is titled "14 June 2002", the date Hamid Karzai was elected Afghan president
