However by the early 2000s the state-contolled broadcaster decided a change of scenery wat needed 0 in 2002 the design forthe new building was underway thelr former beadauarter would be taken over by china media group in 2018. The new Tocation was selected on east 3 rng road in Bejing only 93 mies from thei previous home: 12003 the design ofthe bulding was eased & was unsalinstex of going for 3 typial skyscraper. Challenges [ith such an unesual design just the planning phase would boon tricky and required 3 tear inorder to make the plars workin realty “The architectural fim that designed the cet tower was the ofc fr metropolitan lreitact based in Rotersam hal ‘the project was headed by dutch national rem kulhas and german bational il Sharon. (Wren chin wa ooking for designers the betjing international ender company held & competition 1 companies across the globe entered yeti was subsequently won ny oma 12014 the president of china in 2030 mars began to spread thatthe design is more risque ints origin They believe ‘the buldngs to be questionable shaped. According tothe reports one ofthe maln people responsible for pushing this theory was a professor in architecture in china, They supposedly angared bythe foreign nflence on china’sbuldings The other sue le thas fre broke out 2009Location ‘The mega structure was built atthe foot of the Third Ring Road Eat Boling, Guanghva Rozd, China, ‘ona pot of 20 hectares, in the new Central Business District Chaoyang, The CCTV bullcing wat pat fa park forthe mes, aimed at creating landscape of public {entertainment areas shooting outdoors snd production suds as an extension ofthe central ‘een ans ofthe CBD (Cental Business Distriet) concept Koolhaas imagined 2 bulding whose three dimensional form offer CCTV staff o perform the funetions within a "continuous lop" referring toa closed crcut television, and presented the begining of an engineering challenge. “The new building consist of to high Lshaped towers, joined at the top and bottom at ‘an angle that forms 2 loop, which has been described 2s cross on Z. “+ Designed by OMA a a relvantion ofthe skyscraper a 2 oop, the construction ofthe bulaing began in 2004. With approximately 473 000m, houses the heedquarters of CT television studios, ofces and broadcast facilties and production “This isthe largest project of OMA and ts frst major buling in China. ‘The buldng challenges the typical search pursuing nal height of the skyscraper Arose from a common platform, the two towers are Indined towards eoch other and merge into a perpendicular cantilever of 75 meters ‘The design combines the entre proces of television work, previously dispersed in several places of the cy, creating loop of Interconnected activities PROGRAM ‘The 473.000m2 building sre dvded as follows: 64 200m? administration 54.900m?2 mult - purposes, 65.800m new productions, 431.200m2broadcasting production programs 105 400m2, 30.000m2 stat lites, parking 61 500m2, 15.00m2 services spaces plus 2 hotel a vister center and alargetheaterCONSTRUCTION ‘The bulding snot trations tower, buts loop of sx holzontal an verti sections covering 473,000 m2 of flor space, erating a9 Ireegular grid onthe building's facace with an open centerits construction is considered a structural challenge, especialy because tin @ ‘sme zone.The overhang extends perpendicalor 75m west and 67m south The Suling was constracted by joining thee volumes crested ‘unique fal volume, ‘ Inorder aot to Bock the structural iferentials tis connection wes schedled to take place at dawn, when the ses ofthe twin towers ‘were cooled and raised and managed the same temperature,Tower ‘The highest tower 234 metersin54 plans, wth a footprint of 40x60mm, 2.400m2 oni te a ‘and an area of 405,000 m2 floor rises. +The main hall of 10,000 m2, in Tower 1, is three-story atrium underground and ; three above ground lovel extends 3 + Ithas a direct connection tothe underground network of Bejing, and isthe place ‘of arrival and departure ofthe 10,000 workers who come to the headquarters of CCTV k + Connected tothe lobby, 12 studies, the largest of 2,000 m2 perform the primary function ofthe building : create TV + The tower consists ofa series of horizontal and vertical sections that establish it ‘as a structure attached ta land and not as a skyscraper. + This will contain the administration, news, broadcasting, studios and production ar Tower?

Exoskeleton “ ‘+ An exoskeleton system of dagonal grids has been adopted on the external faces Of the building to aloop structure that oppose gravity and ay lateral force ‘The positioning of the columns and downtubes reflects the distribution of forces in the surface skin of the building - ‘= Diagonal column grids have the same width exaosed, but the depth varies according tothe load, while the diagoals are all plate girders 1m x 60 cm, with the only variation inthe thickness of the ste! «The bulding is designed breaking Chinese codes design for such a structure, but the system was accepted to be a very innovative design Facade 1 The steucture of the headquarters of CCTV, and the forces acting within the building are visible onthe facade: a network of diagonal becomes dense in areas of greater stress, more flexible and more open areas that require less support +The facade Itself becomes a visual manifestation ofthe building structure. ‘The structure of the hybrid freestanding facade features glass panels with a high performance sunscreen 70% creating a softsivery gray color gives the building a surprisingly subtle presence on the skyline of BengElastic Design ‘With the pattern of structural reinforcement determined from the concent of initia ‘work, a complete set of elastic linear checks coverinell come bused ions of lad, even atlevel I sedanielponsorspectrum + Allindividual elements were extensively tested and verified the overall performance ‘of the bulding «The selected items were also intially evaluated under an earthquake of level 2 for clastic analysis, ensuring etasticdad of key elements such as colurmns. + Inorder to validate the multi medal response spectrum at level 1, were checked historical time controls, using real and artificially generated seismic records.
