“Look, that black building.”
When you step into any place within three kilometers of Beijing Chaoyang Park, this sentence is like a “passing secret language.” You don’t tell others, others will tell you.
Because that black building is really too dark. It’s too late to look in the direction of the speaker’s fingers. This black-painted, streamlined twin-tower building has long since sneaked into your eyes, surrounded by a matchbox with a similarly similar color, instantly after the eye is fixed. Become a blurry and boring background. Even, not only the surrounding buildings, but also a search for “mysterious black building” in a navigation software, there is only one result in Beijing – Junhao · Central Park Plaza.
In fact, the “black building” that is circulating in people’s mouths does not exist in the form of a single building. It is built by architect Ma Yansong and his leading MAD architectural firm, Chaoyang Park Plaza and Armani. A part of the apartment complex.
The entire building complex of the Black House has a total construction area of approximately 220,000 square meters. It consists of 10 buildings with high and low buildings. One side connects the green trees and lakes of Chaoyang Park, and the other side extends to the gray concrete city. go with.
Ma Yansong named the project “Ink Landscape”, which was written in the official introduction of the studio MAD. He used the method of “borrowing the scene” in Chinese classical garden architecture to make it look at a certain angle. “Like an unfolding landscape painting, it is like a set of bonsai.”
Of course, some people disagree with this statement. They used the adjectives such as “darkness”, “repression, and “singularity” to express the sense of discomfort when they saw this “unconventional” building. Some people even made it difficult for Ma Yansong at the beginning of the design: “What are you doing in this building?(made)Black? The building is white, and the other building on the side is also white, and it is harmonious with the side.
“I said, there may be problems on the side. If it is harmonious, isn’t it going to make mistakes? One day you have to (put errors) Pull back, there is always a turning point.” Ma Yansong recalled these, the old Beijing’s iconic “love who who” smiles along his Jingjing, quietly drifting from his face.
