開催概要

北京の国際金融機関や多国籍企業が集中し高層ビルが林立する中心業務地区に、低層で小規模な建築8棟が並ぶCable8と呼ばれるエリアがある。蔦で覆われたレンガの外壁を持ち、周囲と対照的なこのエリアは、芸術や文化の発信源となっている。Cable8を改修しても、新しい建築を提案してもいい。変わりゆく景観に適応し、文化の発信点としての魅力を高め、世界で見られる同様の地区と差別化するアイディアを募集。

Description
As urbanization advances at an unprecedented pace in China, major metropolitan districts are becoming increasingly commercialized - in a process that we term “CBD-ization” - examples of which can be found in other parts of the world including New York’s Manhattan, Roppongi of Tokyo, and La Défense of Paris. Our observation of the development of urban centers in other countries shows that this commercialization can lead to a wide range of outcomes, some successful and some not. On one extreme is a CBD that is both dense and diverse, creating a rich urban fabric which supports a multitude of public activities throughout the day and night. This type of CBD reaches a delicate equilibrium between commercial and cultural, business and entertainment, main stream and special interests, and progress and pleasure. Overall, it is a heterogeneous urban landscape that attracts tourists, fosters public activities, and sustains long-term growth. At the other extreme is a CBD that exhibits a syndrome of homogeneity – during business hours, people come to work, and in the hours after, there is nothing left except monolithic office towers staring blankly into each other’s glass façades. Deserted in the evening, the streets become hazard ground for public safety. This kind of downtown invalidates the original purpose to which it was assigned: instead of attracting citizens and give them a pleasing urban experience, it becomes an area of desolation.
Beijing’s CBD bears the Chinese name Guo-Mao, originating from the International Trading Center (Guo-ji Mao-yi Zhong-xin) first constructed here in 1984. Centered on the Guo-Mao Bridge at the junction of the East Third Ring Road and the Chang’an Avenue, the Guo-Mao area hosts office spaces for international and indigenous enterprises numbered in the thousands, as well as apartments, retail malls, and hotels. A number of landmark structures have risen over the past few years, including the third phase of the International Trading Center, Yin Tai Center, and the new headquarters building of CCTV.
