CCTV Headquarters – Construction ProcessLiterature ReviewIntroductionThe China Central Television Tower, one of Beijing's most modern wonders, is considered by far the most modern building top of town. The CCTV observation deck is located at an exceptional height of 238 meters, with a 44-story skyscraper in the central business district of Beijing, and has an antenna spanning 405 meters (Ying, 2012 ). As its name CCTV suggests, it houses the broadcast equipment; What's more, it offers an observation deck with incredible views of the city of Beijing. The building is a 234 m high three-dimensional loop with an unusual shape, consisting of two leaning towers which have a curvature of 900 in the upper and lower sections forming a continuous tube. The CCTV construction was one of the architectural challenges faced by OMA architects Ole Scheeren and Rem Koolhaas, as it was erected in an area considered seismic (Xue, 2006). The one-and-a-half-story building is constructed in three buildings and then joined together to form one-and-a-half structure called CCTV, which became the economic center in China as it had to use the largest labor force for the construction of the project using 7,000 trucks operating 24 hours a day. -hourly schedule.LocationThis mega structure is erected at the foot of the Eastern Third Ring Road of Beijing, Guanghua Road, China, which occupies a land area of ​​approximately 20 hectares in Chaoyang CBD in China. The construction of CCTV was part of the media park which aimed to develop a public entertainment landscape for production studios and outdoor filming, an extension of the CBD (Keith, M., et al., 2013).
