Chinese Pirates Are Building A Knock-Off Version Of Zaha Hadid's New Beijing Complex

Zaha Hadid's wild architecture became extremely popular in China two years ago after she designed the Guangzhou Opera House in the Guangdong Province. Now her newest building in Beijing, one of 11 being built across the country, is so popular that pirate architects on the Island of Chongqing are copying it -- and the counterfeit structure may be completed before Hadid's original, according to a report in Der Spiegel.
