Discovery Channel Shark Building

In celebration of Shark Week 2010, Discovery Channel’s office building in Silver Spring, Maryland was transformed into a giant shark[via].

Five inflatable pieces (head, two side fins, dorsal fin and tail) were hoisted into place by a crane and securely tied down with cables and ropes. [via]
