CCTV new building design suspects skewed taboo

The main building of CCTV has attracted wide attention from all circles of society since its design. The fire on February 9 once again brought this building to the attention of the public. A feng shui master said that the design of the new building of CCTV was not in line with the principle of axial symmetry, but also made a skewed taboo (a tilt on both sides of the building) and a taboo of strange shapes. It can be said to be a complete anti-feng shui culture.

The “TVCC Cultural Center” (TVCC), which was raging at the fire on February 9th, was a new building annex of China Central Television and provided television broadcasting service during the 2008 Olympic Games. The center has television theaters, recording studios, five-star hotels, press conference halls, digital cinemas, large-scale audio-visual rooms, exhibition areas, multi-function halls, and underground parking facilities.

The TVCC building is mainly composed of the five-star Mandarin Oriental Hotel and the CCTV TV Culture Center. The underground corridor connects with the main CCTV building. The Mandarin Oriental Hotel was originally expected to open mid-year and is currently undergoing renovations.

The entire CCTV includes: the main building (CCTV headquarters building), the Television Cultural Center (TVCC), the service building, and the media park. The total construction investment is estimated to be as high as 10 billion yuan, and construction began in September 2004.

CCTV's main building has been widely followed by people from all walks of life since its design. In the Architects Koolhaas project, the two towers of the new building have risen from a common platform and converged in the upper part to form a three-dimensional experience, which has broken through the conventional characteristics of skyscrapers. .

However, in feng shui, it has attracted a lot of controversy. The famous feng shui teacher Xu Congjun said that the most basic requirements for the shape of buildings in the traditional culture are "medium" and "positive." "Zhong" is a request for building, especially the main building to be symmetrical in the axis. "Positive" is not skewed and grotesque.

In addition to the feng shui problem, CCTV's new building also attracted a lot of controversy when it asked for a new name. Earlier, the new building was indecently titled "big pants," "twisted," "slanted," and "bird's legs." CCTV decided to recruit new building names among employees.
