CCTV Headquarters, Beijing China – OMA
Designed by OMA as a radical rethinking of the skyscraper, the CCTV Headquarters forms a continuous loop rather than striving for vertical dominance. At 473,000 m², it is OMA’s largest project to date and their first major building in China.
The structure consists of two leaning towers that rise from a shared platform and converge in a dramatic 75-meter cantilever. This bold configuration unifies all aspects of television production—studios, offices, broadcasting, and post-production—into a single, interconnected volume. The design replaces height with connectivity, creating a civic icon that redefines Beijing’s skyline and reimagines the skyscraper as a collaborative space.
