It’s really easy to do – and I do it all the time: Glom on to the new, the sleek designs of architecture, furniture, automobiles and ships.
These designs, as epitomized by the blueprint from Rem Koolhaas for the new CCTV building in Beijing, amaze. Just take a look at the video introduction of the landmark building in China’s capital.
