The OMA team was led by Koolhaas, Ole
Scheeren (a partner until he left the firm in 2010),
partner David Gianotten, and project manager
Dongmei Yao. The firm worked closely with East
China Architectural Design & Research Institute,
which provided both architecture and engineering
input.

From the beginning of the design process, OMA

generated by two towers—each sloping six
degrees in two directions—as well as significant
potential seismic and wind events, Arup devised

Nov. 2012 edition: One World Trade Center
Fact Base—High Strength Concrete Q&A
(Continued)
Background:

One World Trade Center1 (WTC), also known as the Freedom Tower,
is the main building of the World Trade Center in New York City’s Financial
District. It is 1776 feet tall at its highest point, the top of a 408-foot antenna,
and has 2,600,000 square feet of floor area, including sixty-nine office floors.
The owner is the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey (PONY/NJ).
The concrete subcontractor is Collavino Construction Co. of Jersey City, NJ.

The owner’s drive for a sustainable design was central to the development
of the tower and resulted in uncommon durability requirements; a challenge
to use less than 400 pounds of cement per cubic yard of concrete (which
is less cement than is used in most standard concrete mixes for common
applications such as basement slabs, garage floors, and sidewalks) as well
as provisions for recycling construction debris and materials, and integration

  • 8. 07 DesignNews Too Big To Fail? : Long awaited and much debated, the enormous headquarters for CCTV finally opens, already a symbol of the new Beijing. But what does it actually say about architecture and China today? P romising to “kill the skyscraper,” Rem Koolhaas and his colleagues at Office for Metropolitan Architecture (OMA) grabbed international attention in 2002 when they won the competition to design a huge headquarters in Beijing for China Central Television (CCTV), the state-run news and entertainment network. Polemical and hyperbolic as usual, Koolhaas said the skyscraper had become “corrupted” by its proliferation around the world and “negated by repetitive banality.” So instead of joining the race to build ever taller, his scheme bent the high-rise into a loop of interconnected activities. Four years after it was originally scheduled to open—in time for the network to broadcast the Beijing Olympics from its new home—CCTV is CCTV Headquarters finally moving employees into the controversial building, a 5.1 million-square-foot structure that even before it was completed had imprinted its swaggering form on the fabric of the city and the Office for Metropolitan Architecture | Beijing, China mental map of its citizens. The building shares a 45-acre site with a low-rise, ring-shaped service structure and a 31-story tower called the Television Cultural Center (TVCC), both of which OMA also designed. By Clifford A. Pearson on Acrhitectural Record
  • 9. 08 DesignNews That form derived from OMA’s program- driven approach to design. “We presented the building as a diagram of all the company's components and made the argument that it was important that they confront each other,” says Koolhaas. Earlier, OMA had worked for Universal Studios on a headquarters in Los Angeles and learned that media companies often suffer from being fragmented. So the firm connected CCTV’s operations—including broadcasting, production, and administration— along a circulation loop that moved from the The service building provides power to the building’s base up a sloping tower, across a entire complex and houses security personnel, right-angled bridge (called the overhang), and while TVCC will have a Mandarin Oriental down a second sloping tower.

It people, reports Koolhaas. is being repaired and should be complete in 2013. The site anchors a new central business district emerging from an industrial area built during the Mao era. Plans call for about 300 high-rises there, which is one reason why “The form of our building OMA took a different approach with CCTV. According to Koolhaas, three of the four other was attractive to the client,” firms competing for the job (KPF, SOM, and says Koolhaas. Dominique Perrault) proposed skyscrapers, while only Toyo Ito offered something different “It set us apart.” (a disc-shaped structure with a small tower). “The form of our building was attractive to the client,” says Koolhaas. “It set us apart.”
  • 10. 09 DesignNews The OMA team was led by Koolhaas, Ole Scheeren (a partner until he left the firm in 2010), partner David Gianotten, and project manager Dongmei Yao. The firm worked closely with East China Architectural Design & Research Institute, which provided both architecture and engineering input. From the beginning of the design process, OMA collaborated with Cecil Balmond and a team of engineers at Arup. To resist the huge forces generated by two towers—each sloping six degrees in two directions—as well as significant potential seismic and wind events, Arup devised a scheme that turns the entire exterior into a continuous structural tube. This system is formed by a web of diagonal steel braces that expresses the pattern of forces acting on the building and are less intense, the web is looser. As a result, the in big Chinese cities look dirty almost serves as an important visual element on all of exterior surfaces read as a kind of engineering immediately, but CCTV’s glazing handles the the facades. Where structural forces are greater, map with a formal beauty of its own. While the pollution by blending in. Combined with the the web of braces is denser; where the forces towers and exterior braces are angled, the interior irregular pattern of the external bracing that cores' housing elevators, stairs, and risers are obscures floor levels, the glass skin makes vertical. Arup and OMA had considered canting it hard to grasp the building’s scale. In certain these elements as well, but the cost of angled light and at certain distances, the 768-foot-tall elevators made it unfeasible. In addition to the structure seems almost to disappear. Yet seen cores, vertical columns support the towers' floor from other angles and at other times of the day, plates. Because the towers slant, these vertical it looms aggressively over apartment blocks. columns can't rise the full height of the building. So “From wherever you look at it, it keeps changing two-story-deep trusses transfer loads at roughly in form,” says Scheeren. “It escapes a singular halfway up the structure, and a two-story-deep definition.” transfer deck in the overhang carries loads from “In a city with a strong and permanent identity, vertical columns to the external tube structure. it introduces a degree of uncertainty,” says Koolhaas. “It changes from every angle— The architects clad the building in fritted glazing that reduces solar loads inside and creates sometimes looking robust, sometimes fragile.” a monolithic surface that mimics Beijing's Although gigantic in square footage, it would notoriously gray skies.

While big-name architects usually design only the shell and core on high-rise projects, OMA did the CCTV interiors too.

  • 12. 11 DesignNews An The Wow engineering marvel, CCTV flaunts its technological prowess in its radical geometry and exposed steel bracing. And its most daring structural element is the “overhang,” a nine-to-13-story Factor bridge that makes a right turn in midair as it spans the gap between the two angled towers. Looming 37 stories above the ground, it juts out CCTV Headquarters 245 feet from one tower and 220 feet from the other. During construction, the two arms of the overhang were cantilevered from the towers before being connected to form a more stable bridge and complete the building’s continuous structural tube. Making that connection was a dramatic moment during construction and Photo © Philipp e Ruaul required a precise fit. Because the sun warms Photo © Iwan Baan and expands the steel in each part of the building at a different time during the day, construction workers had to complete the task early in the morning when the arms are the same temperature. Visitors today who take the public tour through CCTV get a visceral understanding of the engineering feat when they arrive at the overhang and walk over three clear glass discs set in the deck of the 37th floor. A veritable forest of exposed steel bracing here also helps bring the construction story alive for anyone visiting the space. —C.A.P. On the 37th floor in the overhang, visitors can walk over glass portals and look down to the plaza (left). Exposed steel bracing forms a continuous tube structure that resists the huge forces generated by the building’s cranked and leaning forms. (red:left) .

  • 17. 16 DiscourseDiscussion CONCRETE GREEN BUILDING Nov. 2012 edition: One World Trade Center Fact Base—High Strength Concrete Q&A (Continued) Background: One World Trade Center1 (WTC), also known as the Freedom Tower, is the main building of the World Trade Center in New York City’s Financial District. It is 1776 feet tall at its highest point, the top of a 408-foot antenna, and has 2,600,000 square feet of floor area, including sixty-nine office floors. The owner is the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey (PONY/NJ). The concrete subcontractor is Collavino Construction Co. of Jersey City, NJ. The owner’s drive for a sustainable design was central to the development of the tower and resulted in uncommon durability requirements; a challenge to use less than 400 pounds of cement per cubic yard of concrete (which is less cement than is used in most standard concrete mixes for common applications such as basement slabs, garage floors, and sidewalks) as well as provisions for recycling construction debris and materials, and integration of renewable energy, day lighting, and the reuse of rainwater. Construction of 1 WTC began in 2006 and is scheduled for completion in Q: What is the history of super-strength concrete? 2013.
