Therefore, the sightseeing tower has the function of urban construction display. In addition, the sightseeing tower also has facilities such as sightseeing platform, entertainment and catering, and living facilities such as recreation and catering for tourists. The tower crown of the exhibition hall in the tower foundation can be viewed. [Edit this paragraph] Guangzhou TV Sightseeing Tower-Landmark Prospect According to the requirements of technical documents, the Sightseeing Tower will be built into a landscape tower integrating sightseeing, radio and television launch, amusement, catering and urban construction exhibition. In order to make the central axis of Pearl River New Town a new landmark of Guangzhou, it will have a novel and unique appearance with a strong sense of modernity, science and technology and cultural charm.
the main functions of the sightseeing tower are divided into three aspects: the tower foundation, which is equipped with relevant supporting facilities for tourism services, and an exhibition hall for urban planning and construction, which is used to display large-scale urban planning models and other urban construction achievements, with a total construction area of not less than 5,111 square meters; Restaurant, entertainment facilities and viewing platform are built in the tower crown; The tower top is provided with a transmitter room and a transmitter antenna. The predicted passenger flow of the sightseeing tower is 11,111 people/day, so the technical documents require that vertical traffic facilities should be reasonably configured to meet the transportation requirements, and sufficient waiting space and facilities should be set at the entrance. In terms of road and traffic organization, the technical document requires that the sightseeing tower should be reasonably connected with the roads and rail transit in peripheral cities, and a convenient and safe pedestrian and vehicle transportation system should be established. Metro Line 3 is set along the central axis of the new city, and stations will be set in the sightseeing tower land. The design should consider the connection between the underground space of the sightseeing tower and subway stations in the future, and put forward suggestions on the setting scheme of subway entrances and exits in combination with the design scheme.
building a leisure square with a sightseeing dock
the design of the surrounding area of the sightseeing tower includes the proposed sightseeing tower, the green leisure square, the radio and television center and the planned Chigang Tower Park. As a "green leaf" that sets off the "red flower" of the sightseeing tower, the design concept of the surrounding area of the sightseeing tower is to create a harmonious and unified overall spatial form. The proposed south green leisure plaza strives to be concise, natural and complete; As an important component of the central axis landscape of the new city, Chigang Pagoda will be planned as an open Chigang Pagoda Park. The proposed radio and television center is located in the southwest of the sightseeing tower, which will be used as the launch tower, with a land area of about 87,611 square meters. The designed tourist route should organically combine the sightseeing tower and its surrounding areas with Haixinsha Civic Square on the north bank of the Pearl River, the central square of the Pearl River New Town and the Pearl River tourist route, and consider setting up a sightseeing pier to form a "one river and many banks" tourist route. [Editor's note] Guangzhou TV Sightseeing Tower-paying equal attention to the characteristic scientific and technological taste and human care, are two aspects that the design of the Sightseeing Tower pays special attention to.
Science and technology flavor: strive to organically combine architectural art with modern science and technology, and show Guangzhou's image and style as a regional central city in South China in the 21th century. Sightseeing tower is mainly used for radio and television transmission and sightseeing, and is compatible with urban planning, construction, exhibition, entertainment, catering and other functions. It should realize the organic combination of architectural art and modern science and technology.
human care: the design spirit of human care can be seen everywhere: pedestrian traffic safety is paramount, and people and vehicles are separated through the idea of ground pedestrians and underground driving; Emphasize barrier-free pedestrian system to facilitate the elderly, the weak, the sick and the disabled; Convenient traffic transfer, fully study the connection between road network system, bus system, subway traffic and road traffic, and reasonably organize and guide subways, buses, tourist buses, taxis and general vehicles. According to the plan, Metro Line 3 will also set up four new stations nearby to facilitate citizens' access; Water tourism will become a bright spot. At the riverside position in the east of the sightseeing tower, a tourist pier faces the Haixinsha Island tourist pier in the north across the river, which has become a new highlight of Guangzhou's "Pearl River Night Tour". The ground is also given to the citizens to play. The planned road to the south of the sightseeing tower will be designed as a vehicle tunnel and a ground square as far as possible, adding a good place for the citizens to get close to pearl water, green trees, green grass and safflower.
Silver gray during the day and colorful at night
As a landmark building, the overall effect of the architectural landscape of the new TV tower pays attention to the overall structural beauty, transparency and texture beauty generated by the interweaving of steel columns, braces and rings of the outer tube. Gray is milder. "The color goes deep layer by layer, with light gray columns, diagonal braces, medium gray rings and finally dark gray core tube. The color goes from shallow to deep, which has a strong sense of hierarchy, which can make the tower stand tall and straight and crystal clear during the day.
It can also show the "air symphony" of the dispatchers: 46 rings of LED strip, and the beautiful state of "slim waist" is drawn up from the ring; Bracing is like colorful flowing clouds, and colorful changes are like dreams; At the intersection of the diagonal brace and the ring, the stars twinkle.
The laser light has a range of 1 km
At the top of the p>454-meter-high tower, aviation lights are shining alternately, just like the jewel in the crown. Three laser lights with a range of 1 km point directly at the three tall buildings in Guangzhou-CITIC Tower and the "Twin Towers" of Zhujiang New Town, which reflect the bright night view of the new central axis of Zhujiang New Town on the other side. The antenna mast is controlled by a time control circuit, and different colors are locked every day. The public can know what day it is as long as they look at the spire.
The minimum diameter of the "waist" is only more than 31 meters
The external steel structure system of the new TV tower is composed of 24 columns, diagonal braces and circular rings. By the end of 2117, the ground can be "grown" by 41 meters. The main structure construction was completed in 2118, renovated in 2119, put into trial operation at the end of 2119, and fully completed in 2111 to meet the requirements of the Asian Games.
