项目概况:

Middle-East media headquarters designed by BIG with an area of 653,700 sqm will provide a framework for international broadcasting that simultaneously seeks to remaing rounded within the region’s specific culture. Formed of two cuboid towers, the project has been designed to encourage communication among the building’s various occupants. In order to maximize this interaction, a vertical village of newsrooms and broadcaststudios is united beneath a tensile canopy that brings together both staff andvisitors. Within the “valley” of the design, the podium–and the floor simmediately above–form a shared space for informal relaxation, while privateroof terraces can be used by staff working higher up the building. The scheme also contains a number of shared amenities, such as a dining facilities, a gym,a bank and an auditorium. Despite sharing a common base, internal programs areallocated a specific location to ensure a necessary level of privacy. Functions with less demand for unusual spatial requirements are located in the higherpart of the towers. Here, the repetitive floor plates allow for a greaterdegree of flexibility.
