Sanlitun Bar Street
Beijing
On January 31, the atmosphere of Sanlitun Bar Street was obviously different from weekdays, and many old customers came to check in as souvenirs.
This is the last day of its limited vacancy, and after the assessment of a third-party professional organization, the safety status of the house here is D, which is not suitable for continued operation and needs to be blanked and seismically reinforced.
Sanlitun Bar Street, with a history of nearly 28 years, is one of the symbols of Beijing's "night economy" and the epitome of Beijing's bar culture. In the early years, Wang Shuo, Jiang Wen, Cui Jian, Gao Xiaosong, Luo Dayou and others all stayed here. The youthful memory of a generation has come to an end.
After eliminating potential safety hazards, the houses along the street will be unified with the landscape of Sanlitun Road, creating a slow-moving friendly street, introducing light food, coffee and other formats, and providing more consumption services.
Because "Bar Street" has become an urban memory, the brand will remain in the future.

Guangzhou added a new art museum
An artistic testing ground
Guangzhou
Have you ever seen an art museum hidden in an urban village?
Located in Gantang Village, Panyu, Guangzhou, "Another Art Museum" is located at the intersection of a noisy urban village and an urban arterial road, arranged by four individual buildings arranged in a combination of loops. Its interior forms an open-air art square, wide and tranquil.
After four years of preparation and construction, on February 1, another art museum officially opened, and "South to North - Famous Ink Exhibition" became the first exhibition of the museum.
The four individual buildings of the museum have different shapes and functions. Among them, the wall of Hall 1 is very designed, looking as if it is only as thin as a piece of paper, extending infinitely.
Hall 2 has a high inclination, giving people a sense of visual distortion and shock.
The open-air art plaza serves as an important passage between different venues, integrating indoor and outdoor, creating a pure and poetic sense of space and nature.

Full of "futuristic"
Chengdu
The Chengdu Science Fiction Museum, which has been eagerly awaited by science fiction fans, has completed the structural topping out ceremony, and is expected to present the façade by May 30, 2023, and will meet the completion acceptance conditions by August 30.
Chengdu Science Fiction Museum is located on the shore of Jingrong Lake in Pidu District, covering an area of about 138.5 acres, distributed in a "nebula-shaped" pattern. Due to the unique natural environment of the local area, it is like "floating on the lake".
The architectural shape extracts the most representative cultural concept elements of "Jinsha" and "Sanxingdui", adopts honeycomb aluminum plate and glass curtain wall, and fully shows the sense of technology and future of the building through the metallic luster of the aluminum plate and the transparency of glass.
It is worth mentioning that the lighting ceiling covers an area of 1382 square meters, which means that the age of the universe is 13.82 billion years, thus expressing human curiosity and yearning for the universe. The 2023 World Science Fiction Convention and the Hugo Awards will be held here.

Landed in Chengdu SKP

China Construction participated in the construction of Saudi Wonders
The total cost is a trillion dollars
Saudi
At the beginning of this year, a consortium composed of China State Construction Co., Ltd., Spanish FCC Company and Saudi SAJCO Company signed a pilot project of "The Line" new city with Saudi Future New City Company, which caused heated discussions around the world.
How incredible is this project?
It is a super exaggerated linear city, equivalent to sandwiching the entire city between two parallel wall-like skyscrapers.
Such a crazy idea has only appeared in movies before. Even Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman lamented: "It is my pyramid and will forever go down in history."
With a total cost of $1 trillion, the project is nearly 170 kilometers long, 200 meters wide and 500 meters high, stretching from the Gulf of Aqaba in the Red Sea to mountain resorts and desert terrain, and is expected to be completed by 2030.
The functions of the new city will be distributed vertically and gradually, allowing people to travel up and down and reach all public facilities within 5 minutes.
In desert environments like the Middle East, where traditional buildings are expensive to maintain, intensive construction of such cities is a solution.

LVMH spent 43 million euros
Buy famous paintings and give them to the museum
France
Recently, LVMH invested 43 million euros to purchase the 19th-century French impressionist and collector Gustave Caillebotte's "Rowing Party" for the Musée d'Orsay in Paris, France, to support the protection and promotion of cultural heritage.
Created in 1887-1888, the painting was listed as a "National Treasure" by former French Minister of Culture, Frank Rist.
The painting depicts a man in a top hat rowing on the River Hyères, southeast of Paris, with realistic brushstrokes and delicate colors, trying to place the viewer on the boat, eliminating the spatial distance between the painting and the viewer.
In 2024, the painting will also be on tour as part of the celebration of the 150th anniversary of Impressionism, organized by the French Ministry of Culture and the Musée d'Orsay.
