Text description provided by the architects. This building has been one of the most important constructions in Beijing since 2008 Olympic Game. Two reasons for this, one is that People’s Daily is the top official newspaper in china, and two due to its hot location in the heart of Beijing's CBD （commercial business center), about 8 kilometer east of the Forbidden City (ancient emperor palace, the symbol and core area of ancient China's capital), where there have been a few of internationally designed architectural works. We won the national competition in 2009 and began to construct in 2010, finished in 2015. We try to do something which will be a creative, contemporary and modern, but also reflect our culture and tradition. More important, this building has to be cost-constrains, use-effective and environment-friendly. As the whole design contracts, we finished the all design works, including architecture, engineering, landscape, and interior.
