The one in Pudong does actually exist, the building itself is under 2/3rds of that big red construction. |

Its just for aesthetics i think and i have to admit, because its in the back and beyond of Pudong it does look quite spectacular if you're near to it. |

¡°The Architects Anthony Bechu & Tom Sheehan taking inspiration from the teaching of Confucius. Part of the building is shaped like a table (the red construction), representing learning, and a large tower resembles a pencil.¡± |

Appears a funky concept but from the two pictures the red table seems dissonant with the rest of the building--dwarfs it, for one.
Perhaps the effect is different on viewing in person. |
