Tomorrow Style

This is the new buildings of China Central Television in Beijing. The building will be completed in December 2008. Rem Koolhaas and Ole Scheeren of OMA are the architects for the building, while Arup provides the complex engineering design. The building will stand at 234 metres (768 ft) tall and will have 51 floors.

The main building is not a traditional tower, but a continuous loop of five horizontal and vertical sections covering 4,100,000 square feet (381,000 m²) of floor space, creating an irregular grid on the building’s facade with an open center. The construction of the building is considered to be a structural challenge, especially because it is in a seismic zone. Because of its radical shape, it has acquired the nickname “Big Shorts”.

A second building, the Television Cultural Centre , includes a hotel, a visitor’s centre, a large public theatre, and exhibition spaces. It is visible from the main intersection of the new Beijing Central Business District through the window of the main CCTV headquarters building. A media park forms a landscape of public entertainment, outdoor filming areas, and production studios as an extension of the central green axis of the CBD.

The Bridge Pavilion (Spanish: Pabellón Puente) is a building designed by architect Zaha Hadid that was constructed for the Expo 2008 in Zaragoza (Spain) as one of its main landmarks. It is an innovative 270-metre-long covered bridge that imitates a gladiola over the river Ebro, connecting the neighbourhood of La Almozara with the exposition site, and thus becoming its main entrance. The new bridge is, at the same time, a multi-level exhibition area; 10.000 visitors per hour are expected to frequent the Pavilion of the world exhibition.
The star architect Zaha Hadid chose glass fibre reinforced concrete from the Austrian company Rieder to envelope the bridge: she covered the outer skin of the building with 29.000 triangles in different grey shades out of [fibreC].

During the Expo 2008, the Bridge Pavilion will host an exposition called Water – a unique resource. When the Expo is over, the building is expected to be purchased by the savings bank Ibercaja and remodelled into a museum related to new technologies and water sciences.

National Stadium in Beijing, Chaina. Beijing is an old city full of beauty and mystery, but time has visibly taken its toll over the centuries. With the successful bid to host the Olympics, the ancient town has taken steps towards revealing its historic glory to the world. The stadium is a bowl shape with a red stand that looks like a nest structure. It is made of gray mining steel covered with a transparent membrane. The stadium was jointly designed by Herzog and de Meuron, Switzerland, who have also designed the “Allianz Arena” in Munich, Germany. According to designer de Meuron, it is a contemporary Chinese building, has close links with Chinese culture and is reliable in its use of techniques. In the new century it will reflect the contemporary culture of the Olympic Games. The stadium is designed for its people; the “gentle” environment shows respect to its athletes.

As big, eye-catching Olympics architecture goes, nothing may be as sustainable as the Beijing National Aquatics Center, or Water Cube, the latest cutting-edge building to open on the enormous construction site that is China. Taking the structure of soap bubbles as inspiration (and mimicking nature’s way of filling 3-d space most efficiently), PTW Architects and Arup gave the $200 million Cube an elegant, light-weight design: a rectangular box covered in iridescent bubble wrap.
