Howard Roark in Beijing

Just in time for the Summer Olympics, here’s the new headquarters for Beijing’s central TV station, CCTV. Instead of a traditional tower, the building’s 5.9 million square feet of vertical and horizontal sections create an enormous square tube. Where the hell are the elevators?

It looks like a cousin of the Arc de la Défense in Paris.

I think it looks more like a tetris piece.....
Anyway maybe the elevators are like the "lift" on NCC 1701 and can also go horizontal.
