Zaha Hadid`s buildings already became the contemporary heritage that attracts not only architectural audiences and developers but mainstream media and regular tourists as well. The new mixed-use development comprises four elliptical towers, each rising 15 stories and clad in panels of glass and reflective aluminum. A network of platforms and bridges connects the structures, linking them in one seemingly continuous coil. All together the buildings contain nearly 3.6 million square feet of space—the biggest project yet for the famously big thinker. The great interior courts of the project are a reflection of traditional Chinese architecture where courtyards create an internal world of continuous open spaces.

The Samsung Galaxy Gear is a smartwatch, a device designed primarily to work as a companion to a Galaxy range phone or tablet, just like the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 or Galaxy Note 10.1. The smartwatch is quite large. Although its screen is square, large bezels on the top and bottom give it a chunky, rectangular shape, with rounded corners. The strap is made of good quality rubbery plastic and a slight bulge in it houses a 1.9-megapixel camera.
