Academician approves CCTV Building: "Big Bears" lack cultural self-confidence and worship foreign things.

Tian Zi hotel accused of kitsch.

"At present, the buildings in China are confused in value and lack of culture, which has become a tool for advertising, commodities and showing off wealth." Yesterday, at the press conference of the new books "Present Situation and Development of Contemporary Architectural Design in China" and "Development Strategy of Contemporary Architectural Design in China" held by Southeast University, Cheng Taining, an academician of China Academy of Engineering, thought that there were three major problems in China's current architecture: unbalanced value judgment, too strong commercial atmosphere, buildings in major cities worshiping foreign things and being greatly influenced by leaders' decisions.

At the Yanjiao Economic Development Zone 102 National Road in Beijing, there stands a tall three-star painted sculpture "Fu Lushou", which at first glance is nothing special. However, in fact, this building is a hotel building called "Tian Zi Hotel". Yesterday, Cheng Taining, an academician of China Academy of Engineering, pointed out the disadvantages of China architecture by taking Tian Zi Hotel as an example. "The buildings in China now have chaotic values. Many buildings have become advertisements and commodities, and even become tools to show off their wealth. Fulushou Hotel is a kitsch building with misplaced thoughts. "

At the same time, he took CCTV's "big underpants" as an example, and thought that the building not only challenged the mechanical principle and the bottom line of fire safety, but also brought ultra-high project cost. "In addition, China's current architecture lacks cultural self-confidence and worships foreigners." Cheng Taining said that scholars used Google to search the pictures of the core area of Beishangguang city and found that 29 of the 36 buildings in Shanghai were designed by foreign architects.

"That is to say, only a few buildings are designed by domestic architects." Cheng Taining believes that with the introduction of a large number of foreign architects, the values and cultural concepts of western architecture have penetrated into China, and many western architects take China as the testing ground.

"There is still anomie in China's system and system construction, especially in large-scale projects. The leader has the final say. " Cheng Taining believes that at present, one of the main factors affecting construction projects is excessive administrative intervention. In his view, this centralized, unscientific and undemocratic decision has suppressed the initiative of independent innovation of China architects, and even caused chaos and disorder in the city and a serious waste of resources.

In addition, he believes that more problems are exposed in the process of building construction. For example, winning the bid at the lowest price in many places not only leads to cutting corners, but also intensifies contradictions in the construction process. Project supervision is often ineffective, and most architects lack the right to speak in the process of project construction, which leads to "grabbing work" out of political achievements and commercial interests.
