The '''CCTV Headquarters''' is a [[skyscraper]] that is currently under construction in [[Beijing]]. The building will be the new headquarters of [[China Central Television]]. Groundbreaking took place on [[September 22]], [[2004]]. The building will be completed in December 2008. [[Rem Koolhaas]] and [[Ole Scheeren]] of [[Office for Metropolitan Architecture|OMA]] are the architects for the building, while [[Arup]] provides the complex engineering design. The building will stand at {{convert|234|m|ft|0}} tall and will have 51 floors.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.emporis.com/en/wm/bu/?id=cctvheadquarters-beijing-china|title=CCTV Headquarters|publisher=Emporis.com|accessdate=2008-08-07}}</ref>


The main building is not a traditional tower, but a continuous loop of five horizontal and vertical sections covering {{convert|4100000|sqft|m2}} of floor space, creating an irregular grid on the building’s facade with an open center. The construction of the building is considered to be a structural challenge, especially because it is in a seismic zone. Because of its radical shape, it has acquired the nickname "Big Shorts".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.newyorker.com/arts/critics/skyline/2008/06/30/080630crsk_skyline_goldberger |title=Forbidden Cities: Beijing’s great new architecture is a mixed blessing for the city. |accessdate=2008-08-05 |publisher=The New Yorker |date=2008-06-30 }}</ref>

A second building, the Television Cultural Centre, includes a hotel, a visitor's centre, a large public theatre, and exhibition spaces. It is visible from the main intersection of the new [[Beijing Central Business District]] through the window of the main CCTV headquarters building. A media park forms a landscape of public entertainment, outdoor filming areas, and production studios as an extension of the central green axis of the CBD.<ref>[http://www.arup.com/eastasia/project.cfm?pageid=1948 China Central Television (CCTV) Headquarters Building & Cultural Centre, Beijing | East Asia | Arup<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> The Mandarin Oriental Hotel will be part of the complex.{{Fact|date=June 2008}}

The building was built in two sections that were joined to complete the loop on December 26, 2007. In order not to lock in structural differentials this connection was completed at the last minute.<ref>Lecture by Ole Scheeren from the OMA, Design Academy Eindhoven, 17/10/07</ref>

Some of your [{{fullurl:January 12|diff=244356347&oldid=243925905}} edits] on the page
==Background==
[[January 12]] have been undone by PseudoBot, a robot built to keep the date pages tidy. The problems are:
The [[Office for Metropolitan Architecture]] won the contract from the [[Beijing International Tendering Co.]] to construct the CCTV Headquarters and the [[Television Cultural Center]] by its side on December 20, 2002. CCTV Headquarters, when completed, is slated to be among the first of 300 new towers in the new Beijing CBD. It is to consist of a design of a non-traditional, continuous loop in which [[Administration (business)|administration]], [[news]], [[broadcasting]], and [[program production]] will all take place.
