Beijing Television Cultural Center, Deconstructivist skyscraper in Central Business District, Beijing, China
The Television Cultural Center rises 159 meters with its 34 floors featuring a twisted geometric shape that connects two main towers through a cantilever roof.
The building experienced a major fire in 2009 during Chinese New Year celebrations, requiring extensive reconstruction before reopening to the public in 2012.
The center includes a 1500-seat theater, digital cinemas, recording studios, and exhibition spaces designed to promote Chinese media and performing arts.
Located on East Third Ring Road, the structure contains multiple facilities including a hotel with restaurants, conference rooms, and public access through a ground-level lobby.
The structural design by architects Rem Koolhaas and Ole Scheeren uses less steel than conventional skyscrapers while maintaining protection against seismic activity.
