Zaha Hadid opens : The Galaxy SOHO BEIJING, BEIJING (CHINA)
The 05 November 2012 – The complex Galaxy SOHO, in the heart of Beijing is a vast complex of 330.000 m2 office, shopping and entertainment that will become an integral part of city life, inspired by the Great Wall of China.
During 10 last years, partly fueled by the rush of pre-Olympic gold, more than half of the old Beijing neighborhoods were demolished – and it is a fact not lost on the gouvernement.L'ancien director of the State Administration of Cultural Heritage, Shan Jixiang, spoke before leaving office last year:”Bulldozers razed many historical blocks,” he said. “Much traditional architecture that could have been passed down for generations as the most precious memories of a city was demolished unabated. "But these words seem empty of a man who presided over a decade of destruction.
Galaxy Soho has been shortlisted for the RIBA Lubetkin Prize for the best international building – a gong won in 2009 the Olympic Bird's Nest, who was also accomplice in sweeping an entire section of old Beijing. If the Chinese government department own heritage is under’ grip of a building boom, it is up to international institutions for the call – rather than cheer on the violation of this small tissue by historique.Conçu’ World-renowned architect Zaha Hadid, Wangjing SOHO occupies an area of 115,392 square meters, with a planned GFA 521,265 square meters. The project consists of three office and commercial use of mixed towers, Highest achieved 200 meters and three commercial buildings low. Scheduled for completion in 2014, Wangjing SOHO architecture will be the first visible landmark on the road in the city of Beijing Capital Airport.
The recently unveiled Galaxy SOHO literally looks like an array of astral objects with spherical shapes and flamboyant lights. It is now looming in- above. the second ring road of Beijing. It is supposed to represent a big step forward in architecture and ability to inspire. Zaha Hadid , Chief Architect, made an appearance at the launch of a long speech about the space and the opportunities it represents. A strong sense of hope for the future of design and Chinese fashion filled the air. Translate this into viable products and businesses is the real difficulty, however. Galaxy SOHO is definitely a place’ inspiration for such imaginative activities with its elegant curves and globular structures responsible. There d’ excellent site lines across the complex. But there has been there enough customers to actually fill and create an active and engaging community? Galaxy SOHO is huge: 330.000 square meters of office and retail. Furthermore , it sits atop one of the victims of trafficking intersections in Beijing. Currently Sanlitun SOHO is hardly filled, let alone Galaxy SOHO sees less foot traffic and intense gridlock. I'll keep an eye on the complex in the coming months. Hopefully this does not turn into a huge empty space like many others arise around town.
