179 Block at the Bund

Creating a New Step for the Bund. Historical Center for Great Shanghai
Location: Shanghai, China
Client: Shanghai Bund Development Investment Co., Ltd.
Collaborators:

The 179 is a Block at the “hot spot” of Shanghai. It needs to respond to this condition in the main axis between Huangpu District and Pudong area nearby the Bund. Close to the subway lines, 2 and 10, plus many bus lines, make this site very accessible to and from the region.

The project aims to create a new morphological scale by: refurbishing historical buildings; improving simple facades; move from mini-blocks to an Urban Block.

This means re-composing the building into a coherent Urban block where buildings have different composition and additions can be better integrated. Enhancing the new center by means of the “dome” as an unifying element.

Project also improves pedestrian access to 179 block, by rescaling Nanjing Road and suggests changes in the street section, more like a boulevard in a process towards “better pedestrian quality”.

On the to, a Sky garden is proposed. With views towards the Bund and the Pudong area.
