With a striking flower petal form, tubular glass and stainless steel backing, this new mixed-use development for Shanghai’s Putuo District is sure to be embraced when it’s completed.
Foster + Partners is responsible for the design and layout of the development, which works to create a scaled-down neighborhood that is truly work, life, and play friendly.
With a similarly striking exterior as Zaha Hadid’s 520 W 28th on the Highline, the buildings have a signature form to them that feel decidedly futuristic, while also referencing art deco.
We also appreciate the warm glow they give off at night, feeling golden and welcoming. The development’s offices, homes, and public spaces also feature a lot of greenery and plant life.
Not bad for a site that was formerly industrial and polluted.
-Gerard Evenden, Head of Studio, Foster + Partners
