Speaking of this, Jiang Feng was a little helpless.

Originally, he thought that because of his intervention, he would change some things, such as the design plan of the new CCTV building that was unsightly in the eyes of the Chinese people.

After learning that CCTV was soliciting design proposals from all over the world, Jiang Feng also made a design to participate in the bidding. Jiang Feng also thought that now he was also an internationally renowned designer, and you must know that the Dubai World Island plan he designed caused a sensation in the world architectural community.

It turned out that after that conversation with Prince Maktoum, Prince Maktoum forwarded his opinion to his father. Although the crown prince of Dubai did not directly let Jiang Feng and his Jiang Construction Company become the contractor of the Dubai World Island project, he agreed to re-solicit design proposals for the Dubai World Island project, and Jiang Feng also participated. His design eventually stood out and was selected by Dubai, and Jiang's Architectural Company became the contractor for Dubai World Island.

Jiang Feng's design scheme is inspired by the mythical and legendary Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Array. The whole World Island Project is composed of 365 islands, and through some special architectural structures under the sea surface, the 365 islands are organically combined into a whole, which greatly enhances its stability and solves the potential crisis of the 6 sinking of the World Island.

This was the best design for Dubai, which lasted for a week of simulations on a computer that had purchased 100 billion operations per second.

It's just that although Jiang Feng has succeeded abroad, he failed miserably in this CCTV design bid, because the design plan he gave didn't even pass the first round of primary selection, and he was kicked out. This made Jiang Feng extremely depressed.

Jiang Feng believes that his design plan is very good, which is also in line with the cultural traditions of the Chinese, and at the same time saves money, and the construction of the entire building is expected to only cost about 2 billion yuan. Therefore, Jiang Feng participated in the bidding with the confidence of victory, but the facts gave him a hard blow.

What made Jiang Feng even more depressed was that CCTV finally chose the big pants design scheme provided by Koolhaas, the chief designer of the Dutch Metropolitan Architectural Firm.

In fact, Jiang Feng also realized it later. His failure in this bid was inevitable, because he didn't understand the minds of the top brass at all, otherwise, he would not have participated in this bid at all.

When people talk about the domestic architectural world, they always like to refer to the capital as the oriental gold rush for foreign architects. Or a test field. Structures like CCTV's new building are too risky and are unlikely to be approved elsewhere in the world, because building codes elsewhere wouldn't allow such a thing.

And the country is now very willing to do all kinds of different experiments, which creates a very special atmosphere for architectural design.

In order to successfully host the Olympic Games, the domestic government hopes to transform the ancient city of Beijing into a modern metropolis. Therefore, the new CCTV building is required to bring the strongest visual impact to the public.

Koolhaas's design is indeed a strong visual impact: the shape of the building resembles a twisted square frying ring, and the two erected towers are inclined inwards and inclined. The towers are connected by a transverse structure. The whole forms a closed loop.

Such a whirlwind structure, there is no ready-made construction code to follow in the architectural world, so designers and architects alike believe that this kind of structure is a challenge to the traditional concept of the architectural world.

In the past, it was often assumed that skyscrapers should be high in the sky. But now, the technical requirements for the whole building look a bit of science fiction. The section connecting the two towers in mid-air had to be constructed before the sun came out, because the sunlight would inflate the steel structure in different parts of the tower, which would be detrimental to the quality of the construction.

The structure of the tower's connecting part borrows from bridge construction techniques, except that if you think of that part as a bridge, it will be a surprisingly large and very bulky bridge. Some parts of the bridge are a full eleven stories high, and the bridge also includes a cantilevered arm that extends 75 meters and has no support at the front end.

If the new building is completed, it will become a symbol of CCTV and the second largest office building in the world after the Pentagon.

The exterior of the building will be made up of large areas of glass windows combined with a diamond-shaped steel grid. As the main structure of the building, these steel grids are exposed at the outermost part of the building, rather than deep inside as most buildings. According to the designers, this allows the pressure to be transmitted along the system and find the best path to the ground.

On the outside of the building, special glass will be used, the surface of which will be fired into gray enamel to provide more effective protection from the sun, which is also more suitable for the air quality of the capital. In fact, on days when air pollution is very high, the glass seems to melt into the air, and people can only see the mesh structure of the building, and ignore the other walls and so on.

"Why does Mr. Jiang think that this design plan can't be elegant?" Another CCTV leader asked.

Jiang Feng shook his head and said, "If you had asked me before, I would never have said it, for reasons I had already said. But now that the dust has settled, it's okay for me to talk about it. Think about it, doesn't that building look like a pair of big pants? ”

Jiang Feng's big pants made everyone present feel surprised, and it was very embarrassing.

In fact, although the call for this design to win the championship is very high, and it has been strongly recommended by the so-called leaders, everyone's opinion on it is not the same, and there are many voices of opposition.

Although the new CCTV building has caused a lot of criticism in the society since it was completed, it is just some ordinary people talking on the Internet, and there are no public figures accusing them in front of them, and they will not care about the discussions of those idle and boring people on the Internet.

That is, in the eyes of these of them, there is still a fig leaf.

However, the big pants that Jiang Feng said in front of them just now ripped off the fig leaf, or pulled away the hand that covered the ears.

This thing really looks like a big pants!

In fact, the construction project of CCTV's new station site has attracted the attention of people inside and outside the industry because of its large scale and wide influence, and the selection of the engineering design scheme has adopted international bidding, which has attracted many well-known international and domestic design units and designers. Among the ten bids that were selected for the final bid. Koolhaas, the principal designer of Metropolitan Architects in the Netherlands, provided the most striking design solution.

Compared with Jiang Feng's big pants, which summarized the essence of this plan, the expert judges thought that this was a plan that was neither humble nor arrogant, with a distinct personality and no exclusivity. As a beautiful and powerful sculptural image, it can not only represent the new image of Beijing, but also express the importance and culture of television media in the language of architecture. Its structural scheme is novel and implementable, which will promote the creation of the structural system and structural ideas of China's high-rise buildings. Therefore, the expert judges believe that the implementation of this plan can not only establish the iconic image of CCTV, but also turn a new page in the domestic construction industry.

Therefore. Jiang Feng's big pants immediately made everyone present feel very embarrassed. Under the guidance of Jiang Feng, they re-examined the design plan in their minds, and sure enough, they felt that if it was completed, it would look like a big pants standing on the ground of the capital.

Mr. Jiang's description. I guess I'll be angry with the designer. Someone commented ambiguously.

However, a deputy director felt that Jiang Feng's description of the design plan of CCTV's new building seemed to be a bit excessive, but this is also a famous design with a design cost of more than 5 billion.

So he said: "At present, large-scale construction has become more and more the mainstream of current construction. In order to reflect the openness, fairness and equality of the solicitation plan, the bidding method is adopted, and it is in place in one step. Bidding from the world. In the bidding process, the winning bidders are often some internationally renowned construction enterprises and individuals. Therefore, this plan also adopts the creativity of well-known foreign designers. We think it's quite good, why does Mr. Jiang feel like big pants? ”

Of course, Jiang Feng is also very aware of the current situation that the deputy director said. At present, as China is entering the international community, the huge business opportunities of China's construction market and the weaknesses of architectural design have also been presented to the world.

The penetration of overseas design companies into China's architectural design market has changed from point to point. Moreover, this trend of infiltration will become more and more intense towards the end of the WTO's protection period.

The significance of the international tender for CCTV's new site is not only that it is the first time that so many world-class architects and first-class architectural firms have been faced. Moreover, it is also the unprecedented impact and impact of CCTV's new site on architectural inclusiveness, new forms and design philosophy, and it also touches the foundation of domestic design philosophy.

Two huge "Z" cross-wound, a cloud of steel and glass, and in the middle is a huge hole, through which you can see more buildings, blue skies, and space.

This is Koolhaas's new site for CCTV.

The deputy director explained: "Koolhaas said that the architecture we envisioned should interpret the meaning of space from a completely different perspective, that should be a more public, communicative way, and Koolhaas and his plan came into our field of vision because of its crazy shape and novelty of expression, and we began to seriously study this work that resembles a giant urban sculpture." First, it ignores or even discards all our two-dimensional linear analysis of the city and the site, and establishes a completely self-contained internal order on the site, with two towers of different shapes forming a strange relationship in three dimensions. Secondly, Koolhaas also put aside the arrangement of the main space in the mission book and put most of the studio space underground, thus releasing most of the ground part, which has become a very expressive scene in the urban space. At this moment, our traditional methods of aesthetic and architectural analysis are no longer able to answer the questions raised by this project, nor can it explain the reasons for its creation, and many of our habitual rational thinking about cities, axes, and functions are also disintegrating in the hands of Koolhaas. We are like a boxer, we are all in one blow, but we are digested into the invisible. Koolhaas's thinking about the city is based on a kind of radical smashing of traditional aesthetics, and his attitude towards traditional skyscrapers can be summed up in one sentence: skyscrapers soar and creativity collapses.
