新たな地区の高級感を演出する開発計画

敷地はマスタープランにて、旧市街と新しい金融地区をつなぐ、歩行者の往来を高める設計となっているエリアである。

敷地南側には高さ180mのランドマークタワーを2棟配置し、ウォーターフロントに面する建物は高さをずらし、19世紀に建てられた外灘（バンド）沿いのランドマークにスケールとリズムを合わせている。

商業施設はブティック、インターナショナルブランドのコンセプトストア、ラグジュアリーなショッピングモール、レストランで構成されている。

それぞれの外観における石材とブロンズのディテールが、建物に宝石のような質感を与えている。

各ボリュームのエッジには手彫りの花崗岩を使用し、上昇するにつれて石材の幅を狭めていくことで、地上部のソリッド感と上部の透明感を表現している。

用途に合わせて眺望を変化させる可動式ファサード

この計画の中心は、展示・イベントホールに、中国の伝統的な劇場の野外ステージに着想を得たパフォーマンス会場を組み合わせた、柔軟性のある芸術・文化センターである。このセンターは、国際的な芸術・文化交流のプラットフォームとして、またブランドイベントや製品発表といった企業活動の場として活用されることを想定している。

建物は可動式のベールに包まれており、用途の変化に合わせバルコニーのステージや浦東方面の景色を見せる、というように眺望を変化させることが可能となっている。

Bund Finance Center

Shanghai, China 2010 – 2017

The Bund Finance Center is a major new mixed-use development close to the Shanghai waterfront, designed jointly by Foster + Partners and Heatherwick Studio. Occupying a prominent site on the Bund, the buildings define the ‘end point’ to Shanghai’s most famous street. The masterplan is highly permeable for pedestrians, with the design conceived as a point of connection between the old town and the new financial district. Inspired by this urban context, two 180-metre landmark towers are placed in the south of the site, while the buildings facing the waterfront are staggered in height and relate in scale and rhythm to the grand nineteenth-century landmarks along the Bund.

The 420,000-square-metre development of eight buildings combines premium offices with a boutique hotel, a cultural centre and a wide variety of luxury retail spaces, all arranged around a landscaped public plaza. The retail spaces are vertically layered with boutiques, concept stores for international brands, a luxury shopping mall and restaurants. A palette of crafted stone and bronze details gives the buildings a jewel-like quality. The edges of each volume are made of richly textured, hand-crafted granite and become slimmer as they rise, giving the impression of solidity at the base and transparency at the top.

At the heart of the scheme is a flexible arts and cultural centre, which combines exhibition and events halls with a performance venue, inspired by the open stages of traditional Chinese theatres. The centre is conceived as a platform for international arts and cultural exchange, as well as a place for brand events, product launches and corporate functions. The building is encircled by a moving veil, which adapts to the changing use of the building and reveals the stage on the balcony and views towards Pudong.
