In 2002, Koolhaas entered the Chinese market for the first time. He participated in the bidding for the new CCTV headquarters in Beijing and the Guangzhou Opera House. The result was a win-and-loss loss: the plan for the new CCTV headquarters he designed was implemented, and he The unconventional Guangzhou Opera House, which separated the auditorium from the stage, was eventually defeated by the entrepreneurial partner Zaha Hadid. While the new CCTV caused widespread controversy, it also made Koolhaas's reputation in China reach its peak. This year he received the design task of the Beijing Xidan Book Building Project. He also participated in the design competition of the National Museum of China, but again The "casting" scheme that does not follow the common sense is still not compromised by the majority of the judges. However, in today's Chinese architecture and real estate industry, Koolhaas has undoubtedly become a golden signboard, and many developers have a mentality of Ye Gonghao. What kind of surprises does Koolhas bring to us, or is it a blow? The fact that China is increasingly becoming the experimental ground of world architects is inevitable, but more inspiring and groundbreaking masters of Koolhaas are better than those who let the second and third-rate foreign architects come in.
China Central Television (CCTV) Headquarters
China Central Television (CCTV) is about to enter 300 high-rise buildings in Beijing's emerging CBD area (Central Business District). These buildings are designed to show the different expressions of verticality.
The tragedy of a skyscraper is that after it makes a certain space look extraordinary, it fills it with mediocrity and consumes it... The mediocrity here has two meanings: although skyscrapers may give birth to new cultures, functions and lifestyles, But most of them are just arranged in a predictable way, in which only the usual activities are carried out. It turns out that in terms of form, their expression of verticality has hindered the exertion of imagination: with verticality, creativity has collapsed.
The project did not participate in the unrestricted competition for the ultimate height – any building can only achieve its first height in the short term, and soon there will be another taller building – it will be built from two tall buildings. Symbolic architectural complex.
CCTV Headquarters integrates the entire process of TV production, including administrative management, news broadcasting, program production and services into a three-dimensional ring structure of interrelated activities. It is a building that is very reliable for employees and technology.
The other building is a TV culture center, which is mainly used to receive audiences and guests, and integrates the hotel with a large music hall, a theater and a TV studio.
OMA didn't want to build a messy building of disparate buildings – separating the studio and production facilities from the administrative and creative departments; instead, they suggested that TV-related functions be concentrated in one building, so that Every employee is always able to understand the nature of his colleagues' work, thus forming an interdependent chain to promote unity, reduce isolation, strengthen collaboration, reduce opposition, and the building itself promotes the cohesiveness of the TV station and shows the world a strong A powerful new image.
Guangzhou Opera House
In the Guangzhou Opera House program competition, the program offered by Rem Koolhaas is a completely new concept: separating the auditorium from the stage. The auditorium is connected to the foyer, the lounge, etc. into a folded whole. The two parts interact with the opening of the auditorium through the stage. The audience hall and the outdoor space form a spectator area, and the space of the cultural square is derived. The stage and the studio and other parts together form a "performance workshop." This separation allows different users and different people to have their own space; then it is a novel form.
In the past, the opera house was designed with the audience hall as a whole and independent of other functional parts, and then the article was published outside the audience hall-stage. Koolhaas has subverted/created it both functionally and formally. The value lies in restoring the opera to an otherwise plausible situation—the space in which the flow of people is used is handled separately, and then the two interact at the core/audience hall + stage of the function.
This separation of Koolhaas caused the integrity of the viewing space to be destroyed, while at the same time the public space was the main body of architectural expression, complete and lively, emphasizing urbanity. The hierarchical order of the entire theater building was reversed, the public space became the master, and the viewing space became the auxiliary, losing the etiquette and sacredness of the viewing space. This separation rebelled against the traditional social values ​​of the opera house as an art place, and the opera house became a city-themed opera-themed park. More is a sign or game of a city, ridiculous and absurd. This may coincide with the expectation of the hot Guangzhou on the sign and the expectation of the modern and fashionable "new life".
