How did the Seven Wonders of the New World come into being?

The "Seven Wonders of the New World" selected by the British media include Beijing (Daxing) New Airport, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia Tower, the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, the Chernobyl Nuclear Reactor in Ukraine, the Abraj Kudai Hotel in Mecca, the Crossrail Project in London and the FFR Stadium in Paris, among which Beijing (Daxing) New Airport ranks first.

Beijing (Daxing) New Airport

From China to the Islamic world, and then to the British Isles, engineers and architects all over the world constantly expand the boundaries of design and create unparalleled architectural beauty. Recently, the British "Guardian" selected the "Seven Wonders of the New World" to be completed soon, and the largest airport in the future-Beijing New Airport (Daxing) ranked first. [2] Zaha Hadid, an Iraqi-born British female architect, endowed the airport design with new vitality. The radial new terminal will greatly reduce the transfer distance of passengers, and the roof appearance adopts Hadid's iconic streamlined design.

Saudi Kingdom Center Building

The Burj Khalifa in Dubai is 828 meters high, which amazes every visitor. This skyscraper has become the tallest building in the world by nearly 200 meters over the second place. However, this record is about to be broken, and a new landmark building is about to rise in Jeddah, the second largest city in Saudi Arabia. But the designer who set the new record is the record holder, American architect adrian smith.

Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge

Since the return of 1997 to Hong Kong, the China government has been committed to close regional exchanges between Zhuhai, Macao and Hong Kong. 2018101On October 23rd, the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge was officially opened [3]. This 55-kilometer-long cross-sea bridge will replace the Jiaozhou Bay cross-sea bridge and become the world's largest bridge in the new world.

Chernobyl nuclear reactor in Ukraine

After the Chernobyl nuclear accident, engineers in the former Soviet Union rushed to build cement boxes to seal the reactor. Now a new steel arch structure building is being built, so that the crane can be dismantled on the roof in the future. This project is extremely difficult, especially for the transfer ability of workers-once the radioactive measurement count with them is too high, they have to put down their tools and run away immediately.

Makkah Abulaj Kudai Hotel

In the next few decades, the Mecca Mosque will be submerged in the ocean of cranes, because this prestigious building will expand the capacity of the 2 million pilgrims who flood in every year. However, this move is also considered by some people concerned to be the destruction of Islamic archaeological civilization. Overlooking the Grand Mosque from the air, there are some large buildings nearby (including Abraj al Bait, the fourth tallest building in the world) that can provide luxurious accommodation services, while Abraj Kudai Hotel surrounded by 65,438+02 tall buildings can provide more than 65,438+00,000 accommodation rooms after completion.

London cross railway project

London has a well-developed subway network. In order to ensure the normal operation of this big city with a population of 8 million, the commuting control system here has reached a dazzling level. Crossrail will connect Heathrow Airport with East London and the Midwest. However, considering the old infrastructure and limited expansion space in London, the existence of this project is somewhat strange.

Paris FFR Stadium

If you want to experience the true feelings of large-scale sports, the stadium is undoubtedly the first choice. Building a building that is idle for 90% of the time and full of 10% of the time is an arduous project, which is also one of the challenges faced by this stadium designed for the French football match. The FFR Stadium, which can accommodate 82,000 spectators, has a magnificent appearance and a movable ceiling, and becomes an indoor venue when necessary [1].
