When the construction of the new CCTV building started amidst all kinds of discussions, Beijing citizens who were good at ridiculing used an approachable folk vocabulary - "big pants" to widely describe this unique experimental building. spread.
The designer Koolhaas recently published a book called "Content" in which he truly took off his "big pants" in front of all Chinese architectural designers. As soon as this news came out, there was strong indignation in the Chinese architectural community, with many condemning Koolhaas's behavior. ——You actually made such a big joke with China!
With a construction cost of 1.5 billion, the "cantilever design game" unfolded at an altitude of more than 100 meters, with two straight buildings opening outwards at an oblique angle of 6 degrees and extending upwards - in fact, Our CCTV "Big Pants" is not only "the most peculiar building in the world" (the title of the American "Time" magazine when evaluating it), many architects in the industry are more aware of its erotic connotation: the main building is a female With the buttocks facing outward, the auxiliary building is the corresponding male root... In fact, playing pornographic pop in architecture is also an art, and art has never been taboo. However, it was blatantly placed on such an important landmark building, and it was unanimously approved and well received by the relevant expert jury, and was finally completed in the great capital.
Some people in the construction industry commented online: "After the CCTV building was completed, Koolhaas was still full of ideas. In order to prove how smart he was and how he had deceived 1.3 billion Chinese, he couldn't help but leak it himself. A secret. There are several pictures published in the book "Content". Readers can see for themselves that there is no need to explain. It turns out that the overhang, which I thought was just a game, actually has a profound "connotation". ——The main building is a naked woman kneeling on her knees, with her butt facing the audience, while the auxiliary building is in the shape of a penis! Wow! The three-dimensional animation of the CCTV headquarters that we have seen is a butt that is getting bigger and bigger. ! I never could figure out why the overhanging part is higher and farther away? Why are the two straight buildings splayed out at an angle of 6 degrees? I also found the answer. It turns out that it is the butt and the CCTV headquarters. The "heterogeneous isomorphism" is causing trouble.
Laoku finally couldn't hold back his banter, and used a naked expression to explain the design inspiration that he had previously kept silent and pretended to be mysterious. Exit, but I don’t know whether it has caused an unspeakable embarrassment to the current architectural community, political circles or the public. At this moment, you have to sigh at the wisdom of the people, who have already understood what is inside these "big pants"
