| Chinese Central Television (CCTV) and TVCC, Beijing, China
Client: Beijing International Tendering Co.
Architect: OMA
Current 2007 The 230m high CCTV tower will be one of the tallest buildings in Beijing when completed in 2008, and is destined to be an international icon. Due for completion in 2008 in time for the Olympics, the building consists of two towers leaning at 10 degrees with a 15 -storey cantilevering link at high level, as well as a 10-storey podium and 3-storey basement. Its shape completely redefines skyscraper form and posed many challenges for Arup's structural engineers. CCTV is designed to accommodate the entire broadcast process, from studios to administration space, as well as public areas. |

| Pallant House Gallery, Chichester, United Kingdom
Client: Pallant House Gallery
Architect: Long & Kentish with Colin St John Wilson
Completed 2006 Arup delivered the structural and services design for the construction of, and extension to, this elegant Grade I Listed art gallery. Our lighting design consultancy incorporated top lit galleries providing a balance between natural and artificial light to accommodate light sensitive works of art. One of the most interesting features that Arup designed is the geothermal piling for under floor heating at the gallery. This design is reminiscent of the Roman hypocausts that fulfilled the same function. |
