Beijing TV Centre is a 41-floor 239 meter (784 foot) tall skyscraper completed in 2006 located in Beijing, China.

The building serves as China Central TV's new headquarters, and was planned by Dutch architect Rem Koolhaas, who designed the Seattle Public Library, the Prada store in New York and the Casa da Musica concert hall in Porto, Portugal.

Its two 37-story towers of black glass on diamond-shaped steel beams bend toward each other and are joined at the top by a sloping horizontal section that ranges from nine to 14 stories. It looks like a pair of bermuda shorts, and Chinese have dubbed it "Big Shorts."
