In Beijing is implementing a mega project on land that was an old residential apartment housing. On the boulevard of Shanghai is constructed Chinese Center of Television is nicknamed CCTV Building, designed by Ren Koolhaas and consists of two asymmetrical towers, other buildings of this mega Project is The National Stadium dubbed the Bird's Nest because of its form, designed by Swiss architectural firm. Next comes The National Swimming Center or Water Cube, this cube designed by PTW architects, The last such project is the new national theater, is made of titanium and glass and gives the feeling of floating on the lake, this structure is dubbed as the egg.

=Seven Wonders of the Ancient World =

//Various lists of the Wonders of the World have been compiled over the ages to catalogue the most spectacular man-made constructions and natural things in the world.// // The Seven Wonders of the Ancient World is the first known list of the most remarkable man-made creations of classical antiquity, and was based on guide-books popular among Hellenic sight-seers and only includes works located around the Mediterranean rim. The number seven was chosen because the Greeks believed it to be the representation of perfection and plenty. Many similar lists have been made, including lists for the Medieval World and the Modern World. //

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 140%; msoansilanguage: ENmsoAnsiLanguage;">//The Mausoleum at Halicarnassus was one of the Ancient 7 Wonders of the World, chosen by Philon of Byzantium in 200 B.C.// //Built between 370 and 350 B.C., this monumental white marble tomb was dedicated to King Mausolus by his grieving wife, Queen Artemisia II of Caria, as a memorial to their great love.// //According to records, the Mausoleum once stood some 50 meters high and was surrounded by 36 columns. It was designed by the Greek architects Satyrus and Pythius and four famous Grecian sculptors added an ornamental frieze around its exterior.// //The structure stood atop a marble pedestal at the intersection of the two main streets of// //Halicarnassus.// //The Mausoleum stood relatively intact until 1522 A.D., when it was ordered to be destroyed because it was an example of pagan art.//

Constructed by the engineer Chares, the Colossus was completed in 280 B.C.// //In order to pay for the construction of the Colossus, the Rhodesians sold all of the siege equipment that Demetrius had left behind in front of their city when he retreated.// //Ancient accounts describe the statue as being built around several stone columns on the interior, standing on a 15 meter high white marble pedestal near the harbor entrance.// //Iron beams were driven into the stone towers and bronze plates attached to the bars to create the exterior. The upper portions of the statue were built with the help of a large dirt ramp.// //Unfortunately, around 224 B.C., an earthquake caused the Colossus collapsed into pieces. Even so, the statue was so admired that it was left lying in huge fragments for around 900 years.// //In AD 654, an Arab force under Muawiyah I captured Rhodes, and, according to the chronicler Theophanes, the remains were sold to a traveling salesman.//

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 130%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; msoansilanguage: EN-US;"> <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 130%;">//In the year 200 BC Byzantium selected the Pyramids of Giza, the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, the Statue of Zeus at Olympia, the Temple of Artemis, the Mausoleum of Halicarnassus, the Colossus of Rhodes and the Lighthouse of Alexandria as the seven wonders of the ancient world, these were works of architecture by its large scales and how they were developed they acquire a great value. Currently, the Pyramids of Giza are the only survivors of the seven wonders; the others disappeared because of natural disasters such as the Colossus of Rhodes collapsed during an earthquake, or destroyed by humans as the Mausoleum of Halicarnassus.// //Although these works are amazing, I think the Pyramids of Giza are the best of these works for several reasons. The first is for being one of the oldest and built in the desert, this is more difficult for construction than any other wonder of the ancient world, because the Egyptians did not have much equipment or the same knowledge, however these the pyramids became equally of surprising that the other wonders of ancient world, The second reason is that despite being one of the most ancient wonders is the only one still exists.//

<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">//<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 140%;">The Pantheon in Agrippa or Pantheon in Rome is a circular temple built in Rome at the beginning of the Roman Empire and it was built to worship all gods. I selected this structure because I think it is the most beautiful memory of Roman antiquity, and because of its design and symbolism. //

//<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> The building was constructed in the times of the general Emperor Augustus, Marcus Agrippa. After some study, I concluded that it was destroyed and rebuilt in the government of Adrian, but despite this, it still had a resemblance to the temple of Agrippa. The Pantheon was originally a temple dedicated to all sky gods in Roman mythology as the sun, moon and five planets. I think this structure should be one of the Seven Wonders of the World because, like the Coliseum is a building that holds the remains and ideas of an ancient culture and as important as the Roman. //

// <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">

Currently humans destroy everything in its path regardless the stories certain places have, so it is very important that the Pantheon in Rome is named one of the Seven Wonders of the World to protect this structure and to preserve the remnants of Roman culture. //

Join me to learn a little more about Cesar and his current project. // //<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 130%;">- Hi Cesar, how are you? // //<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 130%;">- Hi Adrian, fine, thanks. // //<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 130%;">-Thanks for the opportunity to interview you. We know why the interest on two very different academic areas? // //<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 130%;">- Well, I decided to study architecture since I can remember. I feel very attracted to the different style of structures and how it reacts people are in these spaces. I believe that architecture, in part, is to master the human impulse, where to the person reaches the desired destination for the architect. By which I began to feel attracted to psychology because it is one of the many areas that can supplement an architect, trying to understand the persons. // //<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 130%;">-Woo! Sound macabre. I would never find the relation before. And where did you study that? // //<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 130%;">- I studied Architecture at Universidad Simon Bolivar (USB) and I graduated too from Universidad central de Venezuela (UCV) as an psychologist. // //<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 130%;">- What do you think about those universities? // //<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 130%;">- Both are two of the most important universities of Venezuela, with completely different styles each. // //<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 130%;">-Tell us about your project current and what are your motives? // //<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 130%;">- Well I started to remember how difficult it was for me the process to create a design, I started to notice how easily I was stressed and lost control of myself. And I decided to help the development of architecture students. // //<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 130%;">-- We can draw some conclusions about your project? // //<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 130%;">- Not really, I prefer to wait, because these information does not have a summary, is something very complete, and I prefer them wait a few // //<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 130%;">- I understand, it's really interesting work, and results may change the lives of students of architecture forever, I wish you luck with your work, thank you for allowing us this interview.

First let me ask you about your studies. Where did you study? You started in China, right? // //<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 130%; msoansilanguage: EN-USmso-fareast-font-family;">- <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 130%;">My undergraduate study was in Beijing. Then I did my masters in the US. // <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 130%; msoansilanguage: EN-USmso-fareast-font-family;">//-<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 130%; msoansilanguage: EN-USmso-fareast-font-family;"> At Yale? // //<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 130%; msoansilanguage: EN-USmso-fareast-font-family;">- Yes, Yale. Then after Yale. I worked in London. I worked at the firm of Zaha Hadid Architects. // //<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 130%; msoansilanguage: EN-USmso-fareast-font-family;">Then you came back to China… // //<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 130%; msoansilanguage: EN-USmso-fareast-font-family;">-When I was in London, I entered a few Chinese competitions. And I got a commission. // //<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 130%; msoansilanguage: EN-USmso-fareast-font-family;">The SOHO project? // //<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 130%; msoansilanguage: EN-USmso-fareast-font-family;">-No, SOHO was done for Zaha. There were other projects in Shanghai and elsewhere. // //<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 130%; msoansilanguage: EN-USmso-fareast-font-family;">-And then you started MAD? Why did you call it MAD? // //<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 130%; msoansilanguage: EN-USmso-fareast-font-family;">-MAD is an abbreviation of Ma Design. Because I don’t want to only design buildings. I want to design other things as well. // //<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 130%; msoansilanguage: EN-USmso-fareast-font-family;">So you are going to…. // //<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 130%; msoansilanguage: EN-USmso-fareast-font-family;">We are already designing things like furniture, a fish tank, and some interior design pieces. // //<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 130%; msoansilanguage: EN-USmso-fareast-font-family;">-What about the Canadian project and the building you designed? // //<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 130%; msoansilanguage: EN-USmso-fareast-font-family;">-It’s a unique building. At the beginning of this year, we entered the international competition. At the end of last year, we won a Chinese design competition. There were a lot of famous foreign firms competing, but we won, so that gave us confidence. // //<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 130%; msoansilanguage: EN-USmso-fareast-font-family;">-What competition was that? // //<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 130%; msoansilanguage: EN-USmso-fareast-font-family;">-<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 130%; msoansilanguage: EN-USmso-fareast-font-family;">It was Shengwu Island in Guangzhou. The Sun Plaza, a triangular building floating above the island. It came from a concept we had been developing. // <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 130%; msoansilanguage: EN-USmso-fareast-font-family;">//<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 130%; msoansilanguage: EN-USmso-fareast-font-family;">-Then we decided we wanted to enter a foreign competition. We saw this (Canadian) one on the internet. It interested us, so we entered it. From there, everything went very smoothly. After we entered, they selected six finalists from around the world. From the beginning, ours seemed to be the most popular. All the local newspapers highlighted our design. With big pictures in their coverage. It was nicknamed “Marilyn Monroe” building by a critic during the competition. Two months later, we refined the design, then we won. // //<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 130%; msoansilanguage: EN-USmso-fareast-font-family;">-Why did they come up with that name? Because it looked her legs? // //<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 130%; msoansilanguage: EN-USmso-fareast-font-family;">It looked like her body. // //<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 130%; msoansilanguage: EN-USmso-fareast-font-family;">-When you designed it, were you already thinking that? // //<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 130%; msoansilanguage: EN-USmso-fareast-font-family;">-I was thinking in those terms. It wasn’t exactly Marilyn Monroe or a women’s body. I just knew I didn't want it to be a box-like structure. I wanted to do an irregular twisting type of form. // //<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 130%; msoansilanguage: EN-USmso-fareast-font-family;">-When I first came to China, I thought the architecture was terribly unsophisticated, without international influences. Now that has changed completely. Why do you think it changed so fast? I feel like it happened quite suddenly. // //<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 130%; msoansilanguage: EN-USmso-fareast-font-family;">-This change is not only in architecture. It’s also affecting for example, fine arts and economy. So many things are changing quickly. But these changes manifest themselves in different forms. People often don’t really care about the background and history of these forms. So here it is possible to do anything. // //<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 130%; msoansilanguage: EN-USmso-fareast-font-family;">-What do you think is the biggest problem facing Chinese architecture? // //<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 130%; msoansilanguage: EN-USmso-fareast-font-family;">-I think of the foreign architects coming to China. Most of them are not very good. The problem is not that the market isn’t open. -And if you look at, for example (architects) Herzog and Koolhaas; many of these foreign architects are –excellent. But they can only design a few buildings, one or two in a city. Most projects go to commercial firms. They can’t assign a good architect to each project or else make constructive and creative works. Even more cities are impacted by Chinese architects. These architects don’t have time or don’t have the ability to do proper research or to properly understand their own culture and problems in society, so many projects do not have any connection with society. I think that is a big problem. It’s a two-part problem. One is the big, commercial foreign firms, the other is the local architects. This is the Hongluo Club (located in Huairou, Suburban Beijing), very difficult to build, a small house but very complex. // //<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 130%; msoansilanguage: EN-USmso-fareast-font-family;">-Was it expensive to build? // //<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 130%; msoansilanguage: EN-USmso-fareast-font-family;">-Not too bad, not too bad. // //<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 130%; msoansilanguage: EN-USmso-fareast-font-family;">-<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 130%;">Thanks a lot Ma Yansong. Good luck to you. There are many challenges for Chinese architects in the future. //

What Viviana says in the interview is very true today most of the architects designed without taking into account the acoustics, And then when building work is to be a disaster acoustic, or listening much or do not hear. I would like to give me some information where I can locate Viviana because I am studying architecture and in the future I would like to join your company, I hope your answer and thanks. //
