And it may just be coincidence it looks that way. Or the architect loves Star Trek. Edited January 16, 20215 yr by martin-w

I'm sure it was a very expensive fantasy building.  Fr. Bill    AOPA Member: 07141481 AARP Member: 3209010556    Avsim Board of Directors | Avsim Forums Moderator

January 16, 20215 yr Following the link to Mashable from the Youtube video description: Quote Our tipster explained to us that the building is the headquarters of NetDragon Websoft, a Chinese gaming and mobile Internet company. And it's no Chinese knock-off: Company Chairman Liu DeJian is reportedly an uberTrekkie, licensing from CBS the rights to build an Enterprise replica. Construction began in 2008 and was finished in 2014; the project cost $160 million total.  The building is the only officially licensed Star Trek building on the planet The building is the only officially licensed Star Trek building on the planet (you had your chance, Las Vegas). Besides its otherworldly shape, the building contains a replica display of a T-Rex dinosaur named Stan discovered in South Dakota in 1987, 30-foot metal slides that provide instant access to the ground floor from the third floor, and automatic sliding gates between each working area.  Mark Robinson Part-time Ferroequinologist Author of FLIGHT: A near-future short story (ebook available on amazon) I made the baby cry - A2A Simulations L-049 Constellation Sky Simulations MD-11 V2.2 Pilot.
