 CONCEPT
1. (CCTV) HEAD QUARTER
PERFORM THE FUNCTION
WITH A “ CONTINOUS
LOOP” TO A CLOSED
CIRCUIT TELEVISION.
2. THE NEW BUILDING
CONSISTS OF TWO L-
SHAPED TOWERS.
3. JOINED AT A TOP AND
BOTTOM AT AN ANGLE
THAT FORMS A LOOP
WHICH HAS BEEN
DESCRIBED AS A CROSS
ON “ Z”.
SITE PLAN
 PROBLEMS AND
CHALLENGES

Design Issues:
•Instability due form: The building
form: the continuous loop, sloping
tower and cantilever overhang add
the complexity of structure
•Instability dude to weight: dead
load caused by steel structure Site
Issues:
•Beijing is an earthquake zone
•Shallow subsoil condition
•High Settlement risk
•Large amount underground water

 TOWER 1
1. The highest tower 234 meters in
54 plants, with a footprint of
40x60mm, 2.400m2 and an area
of ​405,000 m² floor rises.
2. The main hall of 10,000 m2, in
Tower 1, is a three-story atrium
underground and three above
ground level extends. It has a
direct connection to the
underground network of Beijing
3. the place of arrival and
departure of the 10,000 workers
who come to the headquarters
of CCTV. Connected to the lobby,
12 studies, the largest of 2,000
m2 perform the primary
 TOWER 2

the Cultural Center Television
(CCTV ). This has a hotel, a

FORCE ACTING ON THE STRUCTURAL ELEMENTS
 ADVANTAGES
• Structurally very strong
• Less material required (~20% reduction in steel as
opposed to typical moment frame method)
• Aesthetically Pleasing – Blends in together with
façade
• Floor plan becomes open and free – more
internal space
• Most forms can be created with a triangulated
form– architectural freedom
• Self-reliant structure, simple in shape
• Simple Construction Technique
• Skyscraper Structural Failure minimized by diagrid
construction
 CONCLUSION
1. BUILDING IS TO BECAME AN ICON OF BEIJING CITY SCAPE.
2. DIAGRID SYSTEM, BUTTERFLY PLATES, PILED RAFT
FOUNDATIONS, LOAD TRANSFER TRUSSES ALL DEEMED
GOOD SOLUTIONS.
3. SEISMIC AND WIND STABILITY ENSURED THROUGH
RIGOROUS.
4. EMERGENCY ESCAPE ROUTES ARE EFFECTIVE.
