Accuracy of the Information in the current Article
My name is Martin Jochman you can read in the article that I am the Lead Architect on this project. This article about the Shimao Intercontinental Hotel in Songjiang has been created using various references which have been created by ATKINS under whose name I have won the original design competition in 2006. The problem is these references and as a result the article is outdated. with the referencing rules this does not allow me to edit the article to correct information as I have no online reference to verify the changes as yet. However it is important that record of the current state of the project is acknowledged.

Firstly I am still the design director for the project and Since March 2013 the client Shimao has entered into contract with my Hong Kong registered company - Quarry Associates (HK) Ltd. to complete the detailed design and the construction information for the project and to oversee its construction. As a result of mine and my team's ongoing work on this project the information and images used by ATKINS are now outdated as many details have been modified or omitted. The principles of the concept remain, but the building has under my direction further developed and is now somewhat out of line with the original description. I shall list the inconsistencies:

1- The building has 328 rooms 2- Only one level of guest rooms/restaurants is under water, facing artificial aquarium 3- The quarry is overall approximately 80 m deep, there are 17 levels below the ground level 4- There will be no Extreme Sports center 5- The 'Flying Saucer' building has been omitted and replaced with a more conventional 'Tea house' facing the Quarry 4- There will be cantilevered 'look out walkway' opposite the hotel on the edge of the quarry - similar to the one in Grand Canyon. 5- There are no renewable energy sources/technologies planned for the building. All sustainable content will be passive and part of the building and it's environment 6-Atkins were responsible for the Concept and Scheme design development under my Direction. They are no longer involved in the project and have no personnel left who was involved. 7- The project is now under my control as the Design Director with contract to complete the work with Quarry Associates(HK)ltd of which I am a director and part owner.

I am not sure how to correct the article or create a correct description which now reflects the reality.
