According to Chinese culture must leave the old things for new can come, for this reason to demolish a residential neighborhood and build the CCTV building is a fairly modern building consisting of two towers: a bow and a tower. Other new structures are also present as the Olympic Stadium, which was dubbed the Bird's Nest because of its intricate structure. This construction represents one of the largest green buildings in the world. Another building is the swimming center that is built to resemble the a bubble structure and designed to withstand earthquakes and climate isolate Beijing and nicknamed the Water Cube. Finally, The National Theater is a very modern structure. At night when you're walking down the boulevard you can see down into the theater and see what is happening, the theater gives the feeling that it is transparent. These structures give a modern touch to this area of town that was abandoned, however many people consider this abominable because it fit the context of the city. But not all of these structures are so out of context, for example the CCTV building is a modern super structure that is located in an area of large detached and distant. In addition, the building design allows integration with the open spaces that are around, its volume responds perfectly the road is in front, one way rather large, you could say that a main street.

About the best project (in my opinion)
**China´s Central Television (CCTV)**

The CCTV Headquarters is a skyscraper in the Beijing Central Business District. The building is the headquarters of China Central Television. Rem Koolhaas and Ole Scheeren of OMA were the architects in charge for the building, while Arup provided the complex engineering design. It stands at 234 metres (768 ft) tall and has 54 floors. The main building is not a traditional tower, but a loop of six horizontal and vertical sections covering 473,000 square metres (about 5 million square feet) of floor space, creating an irregular grid on the building's facade with an open center. The construction of the building is considered to be a structural challenge, especially because it is in a seismic zone. The CCTV building was part of a media park intended to form a landscape of public entertainment, outdoor filming areas, and production studios as an extension of the central green axis of the Building & Cultural Centre of Beijing.

The Seven Wonders of the Ancient World


The seven wonders of the ancient world represent a set of structures or constructions of classical antiquity. They were chosen by Philon of Byzantium in old age. The Seven Wonders of the World represent man-made beauties mostly in honor of someone. Such wonders ranging from space "natural" as the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, through exemplary architectural structures as the Mausoleum of Halicarnassus and the Pyramids of Egypt, even as the great statues of Zeus and the Colossus of Rhodes. At present there is no evidence of the existence of any of them, all were destroyed by acts of nature, by earthquakes however, one has remained and has been preserved in time, the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt.

The Seven Wonders of the World are: The Great Pyramid of Giza, Hanging Gardens of Babylon, the Temple of Artemis, Statue of Zeus at Olympia, The Mausoleum at Halicarnassus, The Colossus of Rhodes, and Lighthouse of Alexandria.



The Hanging Gardens of Babylon were one of the Ancient 7 Wonders of the World, chosen by Philon of Byzantium in 200 B.C. It’s a magnificent garden paradise said to have been built in the 7th century B.C. in the middle of the arid Mesopotamian desert, Created by King Nebuchadnezzar II. He created the gardens as a sign of love for his wife homesick Amyitis. The king decided to recreate her homeland ( it was green, rugged and mountainous) by building an artificial mountain with rooftop gardens The Hanging Gardens probably did not really "hang" in the sense of being suspended from cables or ropes. The gardens were terraced and surrounded by the city walls. There is also a less-reliable, alternative story that the gardens were built by the Assyrian Queen Semiramis. There is doubt amongst historians and archaeologists as to whether this lost paradise ever existed, they have not found any definitive trace of this mythical oasis.



Represents the greatest temple of the ancient world. Once green building was presented as the most magnificent achievement of Greek civilization and Hellenic culture. It was built in honor of Artemis, the Greek goddess of hunting. The temple of Artemis was in Ephesus (modern Turkey). It consisted of 127 marble columns, each standing 20 meters high. This temple suffered several destructions; the temple was destroyed by fire 200 years later and then rebuilt under the supervision of Alexander the Great. The great temple was eventually destroyed, bit by bit, by invading Gothic hordes, earthquakes and plunderers. Today, only a solitary column remains of this once-glorious structure.
 * The Temple of Artemis** was one of the Ancient 7 Wonders of the World, chosen by Philon of Byzantium in 200 B.C.

** The New Seven Wonders of the Modern World **


**The New Seven Wonders of the World** was a project that attempted to update the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World concept with a modern list of wondersThe images above correspond to the new wonders of the world, but there are other structures in the world that could be wonders of the modern world. The Palace of Versailles is one of them.



The design of its buildings reflects the French classical architecture, which in turn was supplemented by an extensive garden full of landscaping, space planning with each of his statues. Versailles Palace is a great building of the seventeenth century, made by human hands, and even now can be seen in safe condition, and is part of world heritage.
