Apart from being one of Asia´s largest metropolises, Beijing is an ultimate visual challenge. The country´s growing economy and construction boom has attracted the attention of the world´s finest architects eager to create masterworks in this city. The new is rapidly replacing the old in the country´s political, economic and cultural center. When Beijing won the bid in 2001 to host the 2008 Olympic Games, the city started a somewhat controversial transformation. Olympic-driven developments - from sports and cultural infrastructure to business buildings and commercial facilities - have transformed a city once characterized by conservative Communist architecture. Now the emerging Chinese middle-class can live, work and play in Westernstyle residential buildings, offices and malls, such as SOHO Shangdu and can be seen in some of the city´s trendiest venues, like Philippe Starck´s LAN restaurant and Zhong Song´s Song Music Bar + Kitchen.
