Part of the CCTV complex in Beijing burns down. It's hard to tell from the aftermath pictures what is the structural damage and what is the original design.
Still tweaking the new spam filters, sorry for any inconvenience.

I think Emergent urbanism is not the same as letting slums happen.
It was Sir Christopher Wren, not 'Robert' , and it is probable that his draughtsman, later an architect in his own right, Nicholas Hawksmoor, designed the western towers.
Are you serious? Simply sit back on your kiester and "let a slum happen?" That's one of the more moronic ideas I've heard in a long time.
Demolishing areas where few live seems stupid to me. It only costs the city money to mow the grass... but if that's too much, why not give plots to land to those who live in the city already, and let them farm it?

from the photos, it appears that the structure held up well to the fire- possibly a very good design?
