Why build Chang 'an Tower?

[2] Chang 'an Pagoda maintains the charm of square ancient pagodas in Sui and Tang Dynasties, while adding modern elements. Chang 'an Tower consists of all-steel structure and ultra-white glass curtain wall. This tower is 99 meters high. The aboveground part is divided into 7 open layers and 6 dark layers, and the underground 1 layer is 14 layer. The so-called open layer means that the glass is transparent on all sides and fully natural lighting; The dark floor is covered by eaves and surrounded by walls, which need lighting. In this way, from the outside, it is still a seven-story "stupa". The tower body is made of steel structure, the roof and all overhangs are made of transparent safety glass, and the wall is also made of glass curtain wall, which retains the traditional overhanging structure of the Tang Dynasty and constitutes the effect of a crystal tower. It is full of modernity and is the best scenic spot overlooking the park. Chang 'an Tower uses a large number of steel structures, glass and stainless steel. Although the initial investment is large, it is conducive to sustainable development. Zhang Jinqiu said that scientific and technological content is essential for this tower to conform to modern people's aesthetic concept and pursuit of environmental protection. "The steel structure is light in weight, high in strength, good in seismic performance, energy-saving and land-saving, recyclable and less polluting to the environment." Chang 'an Tower not only embodies the connotation of China's architectural culture, but also shows the fashionable and modern city features. It is the practice and demonstration of ecological architecture, and has become a landmark building to enhance Xi 'an's image. It has been praised as a model of "green building" in 2 1 century by the architectural community. Both cold and heat sources of Chang 'an tower air conditioning system come from ground source heat pump, which effectively uses renewable resources, consumes only about 40% of traditional central air conditioning, and has almost no greenhouse gas and "three wastes" emissions. In addition, the landscape lights on the tower are all LED lights, which are not only energy-saving and environmentally friendly, but also have long service life and rich color changes. [3]

[4] The design theme of Chang 'an Tower is Heaven and Man Chang 'an, which is creative and natural. According to the detailed rules for implementation, Chang 'an Tower is located in Xiaozhongnan Mountain, which is the commanding height of the scenic spot and the intersection of the main and auxiliary landscape axes. It is the best scenic spot in the whole park, overlooking the whole park. The tower has the cultural symbol of "Chang 'an between Heaven and Man", and its image has the characteristics of "Chang 'an". This tower is designed to be square according to the characteristics of Chang 'an Tower in Tang Dynasty, and its appearance has the modeling characteristics of wooden structure tower in Tang Dynasty. This tower reflects the glory of Chang 'an people and nature in history and has cultural symbolic significance. According to Academician Zhang Jinqiu, "Chang 'an Tower is not a simple sightseeing tower, but a cultural landmark building. First of all, we should embody China's traditional philosophy and cosmology of "the unity of man and nature". This requires the tower to be integrated with the surrounding landscape and become an organic part of the natural environment. At the same time, people in the tower also feel integrated and interactive with nature. "On the other hand, as a landmark building of Xi 'an, to express the background of Xi 'an's ancient capital for thousands of years, we must include the historical information of the city. In the traditional culture of China, the tower symbolizes auspiciousness. But Zhang Jinqiu is more than just an antique. " History has turned over 1000 years. Chanba (Expo site) is a land full of modern flavor. If the tower is built completely in the style of the Tang Dynasty, it will not become a new landmark of Xi. "In the design of Chang 'an Tower, she highlighted the distinctive spirit of the times. The design grasps the principle of looking at the tower from a distance and enjoying the beautiful shape from a close distance. The Chang 'an Pagoda seen from a distance has the modeling characteristics of the square ancient pagoda in the Tang Dynasty. Each layer of overhangs has a flat seat, which is divided into layers and has a harmonious rhythm. The overhanging eaves of each floor all reflect the trend of "overhanging eaves" of wood structure in Tang Dynasty. Metal components are combined between the eaves and the stigma, which abstractly summarizes the bucket arch system under the eaves of traditional buildings. The glass curtain wall is arranged at the inner side of the outer groove column and fixed with the column and the cross beam through glass ribs. This series of treatments makes the Chang 'an Tower full of tang style Tang rhyme, without losing a crystal-clear sense of modernity. Born and raised in Sri Lanka, not "whispering". Zhang Jinqiu said: "Chang 'an Pagoda is its soul, tang style Pagoda is its shape, modern steel structure is its skeleton, and high-tech ultra-white glass and stainless steel modeling components are its skin. In the inner space of the tower, architects also try to create an eternal green environment. Zhang Jinqiu proposed that the seven-story exposed wall of the tower should be regarded as a huge painting, and a group of Bodhi Woods should be painted by oil painting. Bodhi symbolizes holiness, peace and eternity. This is a vivid imagination of the tower in the garden and the trees in the tower. With the close cooperation of architects, painters and interior designers, this fantasy has finally become a reality. [3][5]

Edit the design features of this paragraph.

The shape of Chang 'an Tower has the characteristics of the traditional wooden tower in Tang Dynasty: there are seats on the overhangs on the first floor, which are divided layer by layer and full of rhythm. The overhangs of each floor are wide and rising, reflecting the profound characteristics and elegant demeanor of the wooden structure buildings in the Tang Dynasty. The combination of metal components between the eaves and the stigma is the abstraction and generalization of the bucket arch system under the eaves of traditional buildings. The glass curtain wall retreats to the inner side of the outer groove column and is fixed with the column and beam through glass ribs. A series of treatments make tang style architecture in Tang Yun full of modernity. Chang 'an Tower uses a large number of steel structures and related components, which has the advantages of light weight, high strength, good seismic performance, convenient industrial production, energy and land saving, recycling, and less environmental pollution during construction and demolition, and is known as the "green building" in 2 1 century.
