China Central Television (CCTV)
- The new headquarters of China Central Television (CCTV) is an iconic anti-skyscraper, 2008 Beijing Olympics, which has changed the architectural image of China’s capital city.
- The facade of the leaning conjoined towers was completed before the Games, for which CCTV was the official broadcaster, and several spaces inside the building were opened to host televised events.
- The tallest CCTV tower is 234m high with a floor area of 465,000m² and consists of a series of horizontal and vertical sections, which establish it as an earthbound structure and not a ‘skyscraper’.
