由MAD主持设计的北京港丽酒店于4月22日在北京东区的CBD破土动工。

这是一座高106米的白金五星级酒店，周围坐落着标准的CBD办公建筑。港丽酒店是城市网格体系中一个转变的开始——设计表达出人的意念冲动以及对自然力量的虔诚。仿佛被融化的表皮突破了建筑的沉重，它将以上升的精神成为这个时代的城市文化标志。

港丽酒店预计在2011年建成。

北京的CBD是依照上世纪初现代主义工业革命前后的西方标准建造的。这里的建筑成为资本和地位的表达，但本质的不同是，它完全没有一百年前西方人建造摩天楼时挑战技术和未来的野心，而成为一片在大规模的复制中生产出的钢筋混凝土机器，它们追求效益，缺乏灵魂。

在这样的建筑群落中，北京港丽酒店是一次“慢速度”设计。类似神经组织的立面单元被植入到一个方形的建筑体量中，引起了形体的轻微变化，并生长成为一张有机的建筑表皮。整个建筑如同一个融化中的方盒子，成为城市网格体系中一个转变的开始——液态的意念入侵到固态的效率之中，工业流水线生产的标准构件被具有差异性的工艺制造所取代。

在建筑风格的演化中，不同历史时期的人们都曾以手工艺打造出富于生命力的建筑物，他们表达出人的意念冲动以及对自然力量的虔诚，突破了建筑的沉重，以上升的精神成为那个时代的城市文化标志。北京港丽酒店所要表达的是中国当代城市发展中的“慢速度”——建筑的产生与人的生存过程一样，是一种聚集能量、形成特征的演进过程。他们不再是大规模的工业复制品，新的城市效率是在现代工业的精确控制下所产生的差异性，以及人们在城市生活中不断有新的发现的可能性。

The CBD of Beijing was built according to the west standard set up around the industrial revolution of the early 20th century, when high-rise building was the symbol of the capitalism. But far from the ambition of more than one hundred year ago, when people tried to challenge themselves with modern technology and future dreams, the contemporary CBD buildings are the concrete machines, copy of the copy in mass production. They are meaningless, crowded and soulless.

Situated among those buildings, Conrad hotel is the outcome of the slow-design. The façade element, which looks like the nervous tissue, is planted into a simple cubic. It is the toxin that destroys and transforms the surface into an organic envelop. The whole building is turned into a melting box, a starting point for the urban grid to change from the solid efficiency into the liquid idea. The standard product of the production line is therefore replaced by the digital craft of difference.

During the architecture evolution, people of different historical time tried to create organic buildings by their hand-made crafts. Their works are the representation of the worship of nature, the courage to break the heaviness of building and the passion of life. It is the spirit of sublime that became the culture icon of the era and the city. Conrad hotel is the design that appreciates the slowness in the fast urban development in China——the product of architecture is like the growing process of urban dwellers in the city, it is the evolution of energy and identity. The new urban efficiency is the difference precisely controlled and produced by the high-tech modern industry, and it creates the new possibility for people living in the city to discover their own new experience.
