China Media Group Guanghua Road Office Area, Television headquarters skyscraper in Hujialou Subdistrict, Beijing, China
The China Media Group Guanghua Road Office Area consists of a tower reaching 234 meters with 44 floors and continuous glass facades. The outer walls form irregular angles and create a sharp silhouette, while technical facilities and office spaces are distributed inside.
Ole Scheeren led the design at the Office for Metropolitan Architecture, and completion occurred on May 16, 2012. The construction phase lasted several years and included technical challenges with the statics of the overlapping building sections.
The spaces here are often busy because dozens of news programs and shows are recorded daily. Staff move through wide corridors between studios and editing rooms, while cameras and equipment are constantly transported.
The lobby is on the ground floor, where visitors need to register at a reception desk. The interior can only be entered with permission, as it is a working broadcast center.
The architecture connects three building sections into a continuous loop that extends over multiple floors. Load-bearing elements are visible inside, allowing you to perceive the technical construction of the building while moving through the spaces.
