The tallest building in Beijing

Citic Tower (China Zun) is the tallest landmark building in Beijing and the only super-high-rise building in the world with an earthquake intensity of 8 degrees 500 meters or more.

The land area of this project is 1 1478 square meters, with a total construction area of 437,000 square meters. Among them, there are 350,000 square meters above ground and 87,000 square meters underground, with a total building height of 528 meters. The building has 108 floors above ground and 7 floors underground (excluding mezzanine), which can accommodate 12000 people. It is the headquarters building of CITIC Group. The brief introduction of CITIC Building is as follows:

China Zun is located in the CBD business district outside the Third Ring Road in Beijing. It is the tallest building in Beijing and one of the top ten modern buildings in China. The whole building is 528 meters high, with *** 108 floors above ground and 7 floors underground, which can accommodate 12000 people working at the same time. 20 18 officially put into use. As the first building over 500 meters in Beijing, it is more than 100 meters higher than the famous Central Radio and Television Tower. What is even more proud is that this is a building invested, designed and built by our own people.

It is called Chinese Zun because its shape is very similar to an ancient drinking ritual vessel Zun. In the past, when the ancients toasted, they raised their hands to the top of their heads, forming an indomitable spirit. Therefore, the designers at that time built the tallest super high-rise building in Beijing according to the beautiful meaning of "respect". It not only contains the classical aesthetic elements of China, but also has the avant-garde sense of modern architecture.

Seen from a distance, China has beautiful curves and simple atmosphere, and the safety requirements of tall buildings are also considered. Smart arc, but graceful, simple architectural lines, looks very soft and rigid. This design is not only for the pursuit of good-looking visual effects, but also for the comprehensive consideration of building a reasonable structure. The curved facade and the angular plane close to the arc effectively reduce the wind load and acceleration.

What are the characteristics of Beijing quadrangles?

Beijing quadrangle is an inner quadrangle surrounded by houses in the east, west, south and north. Beijing quadrangles, as the main architectural form that old Beijingers have lived in for generations, are well-known at home and abroad and all over the world. The gate of quadrangles is usually opened in the southeast corner or northwest corner. The north house in the yard is the first one, which is built on the masonry abutment, bigger than other houses, and it is the owner's living room. There are east and west wing rooms on both sides of the yard, where the younger generation live.

There is a corridor between the main room and the wing room for people to walk and rest. The walls of quadrangles and houses facing the street generally do not open windows, and the environment in the courtyard is closed and quiet. There are large and small quadrangles in Beijing, but no matter how big or small, they are all made up of quadrangles surrounded by houses on all sides. The simplest quadrangle has only one yard, while the more complicated one has two or three yards. The deep house compound where rich people live is usually composed of several quadrangles side by side. There is also a partition wall in the middle.

The typical characteristics of quadrangles are regular appearance, symmetrical midline and extremely flexible usage. They expand to large ones, that is, palaces and palaces, and shrink to small ones, that is, houses of ordinary people. The splendid Forbidden City and ordinary farmers' homes in the suburbs are quadrangles. Siheyuan is generally distributed as gate, first courtyard, lobby, second courtyard, bookstore, residence and so on. There are wings on both sides, and each room has a corridor, which is connected by doors. Understanding folk houses on the surface will certainly promote and develop folk house culture.
