Chapter 148 New idea or conspiracy?
Speaking of this, Jiang Feng was a little helpless.
Originally, he thought that his intervention would change some things, such as the design plan of the new CCTV building that was unbearable in the eyes of Chinese people.
After learning that CCTV was soliciting design plans from the world, Jiang Feng himself also created a design to participate in the bidding. Jiang Feng thought that he was now a well-known international designer. You should know that the Dubai World Island plan he designed caused a sensation in the world's architectural circle.
It turned out that after talking to Prince Maktoum that time, Prince Maktoum submitted his opinion to his father. Although the Crown Prince of Dubai did not directly let Jiang Feng and his name Jiang's Construction Company become the contractors of the Dubai World Island project, he agreed to solicit design plans from the world again for the Dubai World Island project, and Jiang Feng also participated in it. The plan he designed eventually stood out and was selected by Dubai, and Jiang's Construction Company also became the contractor of the Dubai World Island.
Jiang Feng’s design plan is inspired by the mythical and legendary Zhoutian Star Formation. The entire World Island Plan consists of 365 islands. Through some special architectural structures under the sea, the 365 islands are organically combined into a whole, greatly enhancing its stability and solving the potential crisis of land sinking in the world island.
This is the best design solution in Dubai, through a supercomputer they purchased that has a 100 billion operation per second, which has been simulated for up to a week.
However, although Jiang Feng succeeded abroad, he failed in this CCTV design bid, because the design plan he gave failed even the first round of the first round and was kicked out, which made Jiang Feng extremely depressed.
Jiang Feng thought that his design plan was very good, and it also conformed to the traditional Chinese cultural concepts. It was also very cost-effective. The construction of the entire building was expected to only cost about 2 billion yuan. Therefore, Jiang Feng participated in the bidding with confidence in winning, but the facts gave him a blow.
What made Jiang Feng even more depressed was that CCTV finally chose the big shorts design plan provided by Kuhaas, the main designer of the Dutch Metropolitan Architecture.
In fact, Jiang Feng later realized that his failure in this bidding was inevitable because he did not understand the thoughts of the senior management, otherwise he would not have participated in this bidding at all.
When people talk about the domestic architectural world, they always like to call the capital a gold rush or a test field for foreign architects. Structures like the new CCTV building are too risky and may be very unlikely to be allowed to be built in other parts of the world, because building codes in other places will not allow such things to be built.
Now China is willing to make various attempts, which creates a very special atmosphere for architectural design.
In order to successfully host the Olympics, the domestic government hopes to turn the ancient city of Beijing into a modern metropolis, so it requires the new CCTV building to bring the strongest visual impact to the public.
Koohaas's design plan can indeed give people a strong visual impact: the appearance of the building is like a twisted square donut, the two vertical towers are inclined inward and have a large inclination. The towers are connected by a horizontal structure, forming a closed ring in general.
Such a gyro structure has no ready-made construction specifications in the architectural world, so both designers and architects believe that this structure is a challenge to the traditional concepts of the architectural world.
In the past, people usually believed that skyscrapers should tower into the clouds and point straight to the sky, but now, the technical requirements of the entire building look a bit like a science fiction novel. The parts connecting the two towers in the air must be constructed before the sun comes out, because the sun will cause the steel structures in different parts of the tower to expand, which is not conducive to controlling the construction quality.
The structure of the connecting part of the tower borrows bridge construction technology. The difference is that if you think of that part as a bridge, it would be a surprisingly large and very bulky bridge. Some parts of the bridge are eleven stories high, and the bridge also includes a cantilever extending seventy-five meters, and there is no support at the front end.
If the new building is built, it will become a symbol of CCTV. At the same time, it is also the second largest office building in the world after the Pentagon in the United States.
The outside of the building will be made up of large areas of glass windows and diamond steel grids. As the main structure of the building, these steel grids are exposed to the outermost part of the building, rather than hidden deep in it like most buildings. According to the designer, this pressure can basically be transmitted along the system and the best path to be introduced into the ground.
Outside the building, special glass will be used, and its surface is fired into gray porcelain glaze, which can more effectively shield the sun and is more suitable for the air quality in the capital. In fact, on days when air pollution is very serious, this glass is like melting in the air. People can only see the mesh structure of the building and ignore other walls and other things.
"Why does Mr. Jiang think that this design plan cannot be a good place?" asked another CCTV leader.
Jiang Feng shook his head and said, "If you asked me before, I would never say it. I had already said the reason. However, now everything has been settled, so it's okay for me to say it. Think about it, does the appearance of that building look like a pair of big shorts?"
Jiang Feng's big shorts surprised everyone present and was very embarrassed.
In fact, although this design plan has a high voice and has received strong recommendations from the so-called leaders, everyone has different opinions on it and there are many oppositions.
Although it has caused great criticism in society since the completion of the new CCTV building, it is just some ordinary people talking about it online, and no public figures criticize them in front of them, and they will not care about the boring nonsense people on the Internet.
In other words, in the eyes of these people, there is still a fig leaf.
However, the big shorts that Jiang Feng said in front of them just now pulled away the fig leaf, or pulled away the hand that covered his ears.
This thing really looks like a big shorts!
In fact, the construction project of CCTV's new station site has attracted much attention from insiders and outsiders due to its large scale and wide impact. The choice of the engineering design plan has adopted international bidding, attracting many well-known international and domestic design units and designers. Among the ten bidding plans selected for the final bid, Koohaas, the chief designer of the Dutch Metropolitan Architects, provided the most eye-catching design plan.
Compared with Jiang Feng's big shorts, the expert judges believed that this was a plan that was neither humble nor arrogant, with distinct personality and no exclusivity. As a beautiful and powerful sculptural image, it can not only represent the new image of the capital, but also express the importance and cultural nature of the TV media in the language of architecture. Its structural plan is novel and can be implemented, which will promote the creation of structural system and structural ideas of high-rise buildings in China. Therefore, the expert judges believed that being able to implement this plan will not only establish the iconic image of CCTV, but will also open a new page in the domestic architectural circle.
Therefore, Jiang Feng's big shorts immediately made everyone present feel very embarrassed. Inspired by Jiang Feng, they looked at the design plan again in their minds, and indeed felt that if it was built, it would be like a big shorts standing on the ground in the capital.
"Mr. Jiang's description will probably anger the designer to death." Someone commented with an ambiguous attitude.
However, a deputy director felt that Jiang Feng's description of CCTV's new building design plan seemed a bit too much. After all, this was a famous teacher with a design cost of more than 5 billion yuan. You deny this plan with just a word of big pants. Wouldn't that mean that all the judges and judges are a bunch of stupid*?
So he said: "At present, more and more large-scale construction construction has become the mainstream of current construction. In order to reflect the openness, fairness and equality of the solicitation plan, the bidding method has been adopted, and it is in place in one step to bid for the world. During the bidding process, the winning bids are often some internationally renowned construction companies and individuals. Therefore, this plan also adopts the creativity of well-known foreign designers. We think it is quite outstanding, why does Mr. Jiang feel like big shorts?"
Of course, Jiang Feng also knows the current situation mentioned by this deputy director. As China is entering the international community, the huge business opportunities in China's construction market and the weaknesses in architectural design have also appeared in front of the world.
The penetration of overseas design companies into China's architectural design market has gone from point to surface, and this penetration trend will become stronger and stronger as the WTO protection period is approaching the end.
The significance of the international tender for CCTV's new site is not only the first time to face so many world-class architects and first-class architectural firms, but also the unprecedented impact and impact on architectural inclusion, new forms and design philosophy brought by CCTV's new site's new site's new site's plan, but also touches on the foundation of domestic design philosophy.
Two huge "Z" characters are intertwined, a cloud composed of steel and glass, with a huge hole in the middle. Your eyes pass through the hole and see more buildings, blue sky, and space.
This is the new location designed by Koohaas for CCTV.
The deputy director explained: "Kuhaas said that the architecture we envisioned should interpret the meaning of space from a completely different perspective, which should be a more public and communicative way. Kouhaas and his plan entered our vision because of its crazy shape and novelty. We began to carefully study this work similar to a giant city sculpture. First, it ignored and even put aside all our linear analysis of the two-dimensional city and the base, and established a completely self-inner order on the base. Two towers of different forms form a peculiar relationship in three dimensions. Secondly, Kouhaas also put aside the arrangement of the main space in the task book and put most of the play space underground.
Release most of the ground parts and become a scene with a very expressive expression in the urban space. At this moment, our traditional aesthetics and architectural analysis methods can no longer answer the questions raised by this plan, nor can we explain the reason for this plan. We are used to many rational thoughts about cities, axis, and functions, and also collapse one by one in the hands of Koohas. We are like a boxer, working hard to hit one blow, but being digested invisible. Koohas's thinking on the city is based on a completely crushing traditional aesthetics. His attitude towards traditional skyscrapers can be attributed to one sentence: the skyscrapers soared up and creative power fell to the ground." (To be continued.
