@georgewu5 no it wasn't. Peter Eisenman's formalist mobius building was different entirely. Rem Koolhaas' firm doesn't work off of 'changing a little bit' anyone else's work. Besides projects that are directly alluding to past architectural work.. They are probably the hardest working firm in the world. They are technologically innovative and are constantly studying everything around us. They develop more models until finalization than any other, for just one building... don't discredit them.
i don't understand how this building passes fire regulations. if there are fires at both access routes along the cantilevers to the cores, all tenants there practically become roast meat.
What a marvel. So dramatic and courageous. Here in Sacramento the rule of thumb is anything modern is bad. And most of the modern stuff is bad. Otherwise it's the usual victoriana and mediterranean. BLECH! if you are an architect with a visionary and future oriented mind, stay far away from this dump.
@yifanoverthere No idea. It looks to me as a canvas, or window which is relevant since it's a tv station and sections are not just build on top of each other but in a ring, very "socialist". Apart from the fact it looks like a pants on pictures, I think it was a logical choice. The only weird thing is the accessibility of the upper corner, it looks like a long walk, after a high elevator climb. I would get pretty annoyed if I had to do that every day.
BUT THE CCTV BUILDING DESIGN WAS A DESIGN BY A JEWISH ARCHITECT PETER EISENMAN WHO PUBLISHED YEARS AGO. KOOLHAAS JUST CHANGED A LITTLE BIT AND CALLED IT HIS INVENTION! COPY CAT ! ---GEORGE WU, AIA 2010-7-3
@georgewu5 ...so you're saying he's a "COPYCAT"...if you had half a brain you would understand how absurd that is!!! DESIGNS CAN"T BE COPIED!!! Even if he did copy...how about the plans and volumes and space orientation...DID HE COPY THAT TOO??? architectural ideas aren't simply looked at and copied...just because your jealous of his ideas...doesn't mean you could lie about him!!!!
@georgewu5 I won't think that as a copycat, more like a conscious inspiration maybe. Because that how is architect works, we get inspiration from other to create a new one.
now thats a work of art
