We can't tell if the CCTV tower wants to be a skyscraper or a block, but it sure is one of Beijing's tallest building, standing at a spectacular 230 meters. The building is considered to be a structural challenge because of its hollow centre. The building attracted controversy when its design was unveiled 11 years ago, but it has given the city's landscape a more futuristic and urban feel.
远远望去,我们真不知道北京中央电视总部大楼底是一个摩天大楼还是一个大砖头,然而大楼高达230米的高度让它荣登北京第一高楼的宝座 。这个建筑的中空设计在建筑学里算是高难度设计 。十一年以前,当这座大楼的建筑图纸公诸于世的时候引起了极大的争议 。今天人们不得不说这座建筑让北京看起来更具后现代感和城市感 。
