“We want to humanise buildings in the district, to be more engaging to the public and contribute to the regeneration of communities and their neighbourhoods. We want
architecture to celebrate cultural identity, along with encouraging pedestrian activities and a more walkable and liveable city.” Koichi Takada.
The regenerative strategy begins at macro scale. Cars are moved underground, allowing the 188,000m² ground plane to be reclaimed for people, landscape and a continuous green spine connecting a dense residential community and five public buildings, also designed by Koichi Takada Architects.
The landscape introduces thousands of trees and shrubs indigenous to Shanghai, with mature tree canopies intended to create the experience of living within a forest rather than simply beside landscaped buildings.
At the gateway, Solar Trees Marketplace (also Completed) extends this approach through biomimetic canopies, natural ventilation, shade and planting. Together, these
systems use density as an opportunity to restore nature to a part of Shanghai that has rapidly urbanised.
