Very, very nice! :okay:

Very nice one. Quality design through and through.

now this is the shhhhh... I'm talking about. :cheers:

What's on this site now?

the plot is empty, so some grass and soil!

Wow this project is amazing!

Thanks. Alhough I see you're Norwegian, do you live in Shanghai?

Live far from a city in northern Norway. :)

But was in Shanghai half a year ago, though i didn't check out that site up close when i was there. Anyway, this is the current site as seen in Google Earth.

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y136/cityw/Architecture/UnnamedKPF.jpg

Also, we're working on a map of Shanghai with all the buildings (me, z0rg and staff), this is very much under construction, but you can check it out (google maps):
http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&hl=en&msa=0&msid=114618753525279527955.0004790dd0d88ba886de4&ll=31.226894,121.474457&spn=0.08602,0.181789&t=k&z=13

We are trying to put all 150m+ buildings which is U/C, Approved or proposed in it.

Superb design. Sort of new arc the triomphe.

Kick ass architecture, I just hope they allow more space along the road for retail.

wow, what a building! if this turns out as the renders above, i'm moving to shanghai :lol: (again)! why shanghai gets all the cool stuff where HK (excluding the ICC) is falling behind? well, not yet maybe. but i'm sure in the next ~ 5 to 10 years shanghai will take over HK as skyline #1.

^^ true. china is going to take over the USA as the no.1 world super power in a couple of years, my estimation: ~ 10 years. good for you if you teach your son mandarin, look at us chinese, we speak at least one foreign language, in my case that would be english and german. but that's OT. i really hope this building will make its own way in the skyline!

China will not overtake the US for much more than 10 years. I predict 50. The GDP per capita of China is an utter fraction of the US. Nonetheless, China's influence is now on par with America's.

China is one of the oldest and most amazing countries on Earth. I love it.

well, we can discuss this later somewhere else. :) . thanks for the kind words. i know my country rulez (see my name :lol:)!

Another beauty by KPF. Looks cleaner than the WFC. Too bad it won't be up by next year when I visit Shanghai.

I seriously want pudong to look like the first render... it has way too many random/ugly buildings in Lujiazui currently. I hate all those 1990s building with antennas sticking out...zzz looks SO ugly.

Very nice! Good to see the business district expanding.

wow this looks really unique, I like!

I love it. Build it. ASAP.

The same architect as the CCTV tower? I think this building is stealing too much landmark status from the Pearl tower and the supertalls.

^^
It is a KPF design as stated in the thread title.

You know any other proposals Staff. Or is it likely that this will be the final design?
I dont know if it's just me but I think this building is taking way too much attention from other buildings in Pudong such as SWFC and Pearl tower.

Maybe there are other proposals not taking too much attention :)

dnobsemajdnob, I think I speak for many people when I say shut the f*ck saying the same things over and over again. We all know you opinions now, yes China is emerging as a super-power, yes China is developing at a mindblowing pace, yes Shanghai is a fantastic city (and I agree it is, I visited myself last year)....but seriously you are boring and monotonous, get over yourself and try to enjoy any Shanghai/China development intelligently without spamming threads with your inane, repetitive monologues.

thanks.

^^ the fact is that this thread has nothing to do with Shanghai, China, Roma or Iraq, its about one special project. Keep the discussion at that stage to.

one word: build it!

I made that statement because I said that this magnificent project is fitting for the de facto capital of one of the oldest civilizations that makes European civilizations seem new by comparison. I am part Han Chinese. Am I not permitted to be proud of my heritage?

Just keep it on topic bud, and you're fine.

Dude, what's your problem?

Are you insulted by the fact that China is basically the oldest civilization, together with India, Iran and Iraq?

Yes thats exactly it, I'm insulted that China is one of oldest civilizations.........

NO you idiot, my problem is you. I'm not referring to anything else. I don't have any issues with China, I have been there twice and loved it both times. I have no issue with Chinese history, far from it I find it fascinating and love Chinese art/culture/history.

My problem is you going off topic constantly in numerous threads going on and on about "Shanghai being the greatest city in the world" etc etc. I don't care about your opinions, I just get sick of your spamming and confrontational off topic posts. Just give it a rest PLEASE.

Anyway I know I am being a hypocrite by continuing off topic now, so any further issues please pm me and spare the threads with your drivel. OK?

sorry to everyone else, I just had to say something.

p.s. it's great to be proud of your heritage, just do it in a less irritating way!

LOL

nice tower!

Infact I belive the greatest city on this earth is Tokyo :)

Well the towers design is so classic it could stand as a classic 500 years later. But it doesnt fit Pudong right?

IMO this will fit perfect.

I doubt this ever getting built. But it would be better with a supertall 800m XD

I believe this is called "Shanghai Ruibo"

Video!
http://www.beziercg.com/animation/mov/Sha.html

man, this vid is so cool. shanghai is becoming a megacity in its own category! nothing can stop this city. nothing can stop china! :)

So according to Bezier's website, this project must be officially called "Shanghai Ruibo."

^^ Chinglish name probably.

Isn't "ruibo" a phonetic transliteration for rainbow in Chinese? Anyway, I say we call it "Shanghai Shipyard Phase II" until we know more.

I seriously want pudong to look like the first render... it has way too many random/ugly buildings in Lujiazui currently. I hate all those 1990s building with antennas sticking out...zzz looks SO ugly.

You're so right! :lol:

NICE !!! It like has high quality

It really fits there... Liked it.

When will construction start?

It must be approved first.

I doubt this ever getting built. But it would be better with a supertall 800m XD

an 800m on that location would look horrible.
Im pretty confident this will get built, after all this IS Shanghai.

Superb design. Sort of new arc the triomphe.
Sorry to ask, are you thinking of the office highrise Grand Arche from La Defense, Paris?

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/5/52/Grande_Arche_de_La_D%C3%A9fense_et_fontaine.jpg/800px-Grande_Arche_de_La_D%C3%A9fense_et_fontaine.jpg

or the classic arc the triomphe?

http://www.paristoolkit.com/Images/arc_triomphe.jpg

After watching this video I think this will be a great add :)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pdh5kF_mNH4

fantastic design! I hope it gets built as soon as possible!!

Yes it is a great design, but it could be in better harmony with the CITIC Pacific HQ and Mandarin Oriental twins in front of it

(http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=674132)

If the hole in this building was in alignment with the road passing through the twins, this would create a better 'gateway' effect.

Can anyone update the status of this amazing project?

^^ Read the title of the thread :D

^^ Read the title of the thread :D

I did. However, "proposed" in China means will be built soon, and since, this thread is nearly a year old, I was wondering what the status is.

Here is an awesome video of this project.

Well we don't even know the developer. It may take a long time before they start it, just my opinion.

shanghai looks so clean in renders :)
to bad it will never look that good :ohno:

:)Nice!

The lot is still empty. Why don't they start to build this? It would be great addition to Shanghai skyline. The top view of this building is amazing.

It looks like they are starting some construction there, any idea of what they are doing?

http://morceauxdasie.net/contruction-lujiazui-2011-01-09.jpg

^^ Yay - i hope they build the planned design or make it taller (around 300m) to give Lujiazui a 4th supertall!

shanghai looks so clean in renders :)
to bad it will never look that good :ohno:

Correct

Shanghai will look way better than the renders! :banana:

WOOOOW!!! I really love this one! Can we get a Shanghai forumer closer to the site?

Great news! Thanks for the picture. Please try to get some more. :cheers:

It is amazing to see this picture.
Maybe I will go to and have a look at the construction site。。

Great photos!!! Thank you very much. Did you happen to see a board at the construction site?

I did not pay attention, I will check the next time I pass by. Here is another picture taken this morning.

:cheers::cheers::cheers:

a very stunning design!

Any progress being made on the site for this?

Any progress being made on the site for this?

They are just building a underground corridor between Phase1 and 2
and the construction will last till the end of 2011,so phase 2perhaps will begin in 2012

Is there any news on this project?

I like it a lot, both the superb texture of the facade and the whole frame, hope it will be built asap.
Just do it!

I walked past this the plot on Wednesday. The boards surrounding the site just seemed to have random pictures of Shanghai rather than an actual design and the actual plot was being partly used as a parking lot.

^ Thanks for the update. The wait is just killing me. THings this beautiful should be built NOW :)

am i looking an empty office space? according to a report, china admitted that the local debt amount to more than 500 billion yuan,half of them invested in the real estate.

On gaoloumi the user "zip" (who i consider as reliable) claimed that he spoke with someone of KPF (architectural firm which is designing this building) and this person said, that there gonna be now two seperate buildings on this plot (twin towers?).

So this "double-gateway design" probably won't be the final design. I think it's a pity, I really liked the design. But at least this building is not dead.

Thanks for the update. The proposed tower was nice. Hopefully, the final tower will be great too.

A reliable forumer of skyscrapers.cn claimed that the Shanghai Center would have 800m, a reliable forumer from Gaoloumi said that Kingkey had 460m. Etc, etc. Nothing is reliable if they can't provide evidences :D

I see. The burnt child dreads the fire. :lol:

I was fooled so many times by fake rumors :(

上海船厂地区瑞博项目总体方案讨论会召开

发布时间: 2011年7月14日 来源:

7月12日上午，上海船厂地区瑞博项目总体方案设计讨论会召开。会议在多轮方案设计例会基础上，提出了“园”和“竹”两个办公塔楼设计构思，并推荐以简洁大气的“竹”作为方案深化方向。会议同时就各专业设计要求提出了优化建议。

latest news
the workshop of Phase 2 was held in 7,12.

the theme of the design will be "bamboos"

Just saw yesterday that they are setting up cranes and digging machines on the site. They also closed the car park that was on the plot. Does anybody know if construction is starting?

They were taken today.

If this is the right plot it should be prep! Did you see a poster with this project around the plot?

If this is the right plot it should be prep! Did you see a poster with this project around the plot?

Yes, it is between pudong nan lu, yincheng zhong lu, jimo lu and dongcheng lu.

The posters around are just the old ones, but they say something like "Shanghai shipyards phase II".

Thank you.

Yeah, it's definetely the right plot.

Exciting news! Can't wait to see this one rising.

The design has been changed.

The design has been changed.

Is there any render or an official height?

This is great news. I assume that the original design remains. It's beautiful.

The design has been changed.

I just saw this. How do you know? The original design was great.

I've heard that the original design only "looks great", actually it is kind of impractical. It simply costs too much. Just like the CCTV tower in Beijing, use 140 thousand tons of steel to build a 200 plus is a joke.

^^
So there will be twin towers with a height of 250m?

^^
More like 250m+220m to me.

New rendering
http://i.imgur.com/hFGb3.jpg

Too bad. The original was way better. But still I'm glad to see something built on this plot.

This sucks.

Too bad. The original was way better. But still I'm glad to see something built on this plot.

agreed. Hopefully we will get better renders. The new project is a bit hard to judge right now.

At least they look pretty tall. The twin towers next to them are 218m tall, so the tallest tower should be around 250m.

Alleged final design. They didn't credit the source.

This is getting lousier with each new update.

@zorg: how about this update posted by oliver999, is this still part of Lujiazui Phase 2?

the new design is pretty good and I like the skywalk to the 1st phase shipyard redevelopment.

KPF released the design on their Weibo blog:

It's now called CITIC Ruibo.

250m + 238m
It will be completed in 2017.

Tower 1 (250m) has already been sold to ICBC and will be their new HQ.

it is a good height and the design is great too, nothing compared to the first approaches though, but nice nontheless and will dense the pudong skyline up a bit more.
