Arup and OMA's CCTV Tower just beat the deadline to finish cladding before the Olympics opening ceremony

These are the latest images of the £390m CCTV Tower in Beijing by Arup and Office of Metropolitan Architects. The Chinese government had set the main contractor, China State Construction Engineering, the task of completing all of the cladding on the 234m-high building in time for the start of the Beijing Olympic Games today. When Building visited the site in early June, the contractor said that it had 1,200 people on site racing to hit the deadline. It seems they did it. Let us know what you think.
