(Shenzhen; 22 November 2007) Officials from the Shenzhen Stock Exchange
(SSE) and local government together with representatives from the
Office for Metropolitan Architecture (OMA) have broken ground for
the construction of the new headquarters for Chinas equivalent
of the NASDAQ.
The new SSE is planned as a financial center with civic meaning. The
external area is designed as a public space for festivals and gathering
whilst the 250m tall tower will host the trading floor of high-tech
and many new, high growth stocks as well as the SSE offices, registration
and clearing house, the Securities Information Company and ancillary
services in a gross floor area of 200,000m2.
The premise of OMAs design is based on the essence of the stock
market as speculation and the desire to create a building that is
beyond symbolism for an almost virtual stock market.

For millennia the solid building has stood on a solid base which anchors
the structure and connects it emphatically to the ground. In the SSE
building the traditional base is lifted up the tower to become a floating
platform to broadcast the economic information of the virtual market
and in turn liberate the space on the ground for public space and
events.
Founder and Partner of OMA, Rem Koolhaas, OMA's Managing Partner Victor
van der Chijs and the Senior Associate in charge of the project Kunle
Adeyemi were present at the ceremony, along with the entire project
team - including the OMA team now relocated to Shenzhen to ensure
the proper completion of the building. The progress of this
project has been a source of pride for both parties, said OMA
Managing Partner, Victor van der Chijs. Less than one year ago
OMA was announced the winner of the design competition and we now
have a dedicated team in Shenzhen to oversee the completion of The
Stock Exchange in 2010, said Mr van der Chijs.

Mr. Adeyemi added that ''In spite of the accelerated design process,
the team is pleased to have been able to retain and enhance the project's
original concept design intents.'' The Stock Exchange will be built
in Shenzhens new Financial District adjacent to the administrative
and cultural center of the city.
