Yes, much will be changed, just wait a second as we sum up, and get prepared for a few new 300m+ approvals and proposals most here have never seen or heard about. And we have several new 200m+ project which will come up as soon as possible! :D

Wow take a seat first. *_*!

Thanks you! Just got up some more 200m towers. I will add renderings as fast as possible. Also, Post Two will hopefully be ready sometime soon, at least part of it. :)

And btw, a list is up. :)

spectacular..

Wonderful compilation work, I salute you.

I agee. well done, very informative.

Amazinz pics totally awsome i envy u

Very very nice opening post Qazaq! Gives me a place to look for all the projects in Shanghai today. :)

Good lord, there's so many spectacular projects here I wonder if they'll all sort-of drown each other out. ;)

wow...amazing, thanks 4 the update

Gosh!!! Shanghai is so wonderful!!

OMG Shanghai...very very nice opening. Keep up the good work!

Pudong looks just like a modern day version of uptown NY IMO, but has anyone noticed that how the building are laid out are not very pedestrain friendly with every building sitting on its individual block. Lacks the "people atmosphere" found in Puxi.

Kiss the Rain,
Lujiazui, and pretty much all of Pudong, feels like a whole different country to me. Puxi is where the heart and soul of Shanghai is - still, when a lot of people think about Shanghai - the Lujiazui skyline comes to mind. It's basically just a bunch of tall buildings in a non-pedestrian friendly environment.
I hope something will be done about it.

Comparing shanghai with ny will get you flamed :P americans are still thouchy about that :)

but shanghai is not going to become a new new york. shanghai is going to be an example of a global, international metropolis of its own and other cities will be compared to it in a matter of a couple of decades!

I know what you mean, im not comparing in the two cities in every aspect, just the shape of their waterfront skyline.

^^ Thanks a lot for sharing. I don't recognise Jinzhong Tower, Xinyuan Square Tower, Libao Tower, Southern Securities Tower, New World Lisheng Hotel and New Jinqiao Tower. However, I suppose they all are projects which I know from an alternative name. This happens very often with Chinese projects.

The 人 is very impressive. Any details on that building?

About Peoples Building, quote from what we ahve written in the first posts. :)

The People's Building (Proposed)
Aka REN Building (人=ren, person). From Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG) (http://www.big.dk/) based in Copenhagen comes the proposed People's Building in Shanghai. The building is a proposed hotel, sport and conference center for the World Expo in 2010. The building is concieved as two buildings merging into one. The first building, merging from the water houses the sport and swimming center. The second building merging from land will house metting halls and a conference center. The two buildings meet in a 1000-room hotel, a building for living.

^ Looking very cool! It looks very much like a satellite city, which it probably is. :)

The problem of this thread is, if I may, that it carries too much information, hence takes a long time for people to read through! Every scraper in here, if present in other forums, deserves a single thread for its own!
Thanks again for the good work Qazaq and z0rg, as as always. :)

wow, another new shanghai area, cool......looks like shanghai is expanding really fast

Very good projects, I love Shanghai.

Very futuristic yes, but looks not dense enough and too auto oriented, we dont want that in china, low density can go to hell.

^^ Wise words. Chongqing rules :D

I met the vice president of the new Pudong downtown area planning authority today when he and other collegues were visiting sydney. they came into city council to view our city model. I gave a talk and showed some models of worlds tallest. he recognised the model of SWFC and said how a taller bldg (up to 600m) is in pipeline, should be built near it with in 5 years. muat be the Shanghai centre you hve listed as 140st/650m. wow

Where is the Shanghai Museum of Nature located?

That's really a close call, but I like 3,4 and 6 best! :)

Where is the Shanghai Museum of Nature located?

around People's Square, I think

3 and 5 are excellent.

thanx for providing lots of info on new developments. I was wondering where are they going to find all that land. must be clearing those old shophouses and residential areas.

Yeah, build a super tall, that will look good with super tall on other side of the river like london bridge tower

It looks like a huge verson of Donghai Plaza to me.

to be honest, shanghai has canceled lots of projects because of the corruption of chen liang yu. it will block the development of shanghai's constructions. crying.

^^ Is this project going to be taller than Shanghai World Financial Center?

^^ Is this project going to be taller than Shanghai World Financial Center?

Indeed! The height of the Z3-2 plot is expected to be at least 550m and it might reach 700m!! No official figures yet.

@skyspy001, Chen was removed from all his charges some months ago.

It looks like a huge verson of Donghai Plaza to me.
I fail to see any similarity between the two, actually. :eek:

Speaking of Donghai Plaza, however, I saw yesterday that the crown (that has looked like a skeleton for a long time) now is almost completely covered with glass, and it looks great! :okay:

In China you have shortened projects from time to time, that really piss me off :( However, they sometimes increase heights too. Development Tower and SWFC's heights were increased as well as Z3-2 plot project, which was supposed to be shorter than SWFC for sure.

Wen wei pao: plan large ferris wheel for shanghai are official abandone.

HOLY MOLY!!!! RTKL's proposal for Z3-2 plot.


Seriously, that is a crazy building and I love everything about it. I hope its chosen and built. The colour, the shape, the height.... all perfect. Its going to make JM and SWFC look like midgets :)

are there any links or articles about the z3-2 project, id like to find out more, amazing project.

Wen wei pao: plan large ferris wheel for shanghai are official abandone.

Great! :banana:

^^ Why are you so happy?! Isn't this a bad thing.

The 'Shanghai Eye' (planned to be the world's tallest observation wheel) would have been great for Shanghai! Wuhan has one. Dubai is getting one. Las Vegas is getting one. Heck, even Beijing is getting a really big one as well!

Imho, this is bad news.

^^ Why are you so happy?! Isn't this a bad thing.

The 'Shanghai Flyer' (the world's tallest observation wheel) would have been great for Shanghai! Wuhan has one. Dubai is getting one. Las Vegas is getting one. Heck, even Beijing is getting a really big one as well!

Imho, this is bad news.

Ferris wheels belong to amusement parks far away from the city centre. I hope Beijing will scrap the plan as well.

I wouldn't like Shanghai to be even mentioned in the same sentence as Dubai and Las Vegas, so yeah, I'm pretty happy with that the plan has been scrapped too.

Shanghai needs a 'tacky' landmark as well. New York has the Statue of Liberty. London has the Millenium Dome and the London Eye. Rio de Janeiro has that huge statue of Jesus Christ on top of the mountain. Paris has the Eiffel Tower. Heck, Singapore is going to have the Singapore Flyer Observation Wheel (And SIngapore isn't on the same level of tackiness that Dubai and Las Vegas exude.).

Btw, I'd imagine that since Shanghai would become a very, very large megalopolis (even bigger than Greater Tokyo in the not-so-distant future) (together with Nanjing, Hangzhou, Wuxi, Suzhou, and Ningbo) then, obviously, it wouldn't matter if there would be a tacky-fest of projects in one side, an uber-large industrial area in another, a large sea-cargo handling area in yet another, and sprawling suburbs scattered here and there.

C'mon, yeah Dubai is the greatest place to see audacious and, even, nearing fantastical/whimsical projects that would most likely become a tack-fest of a mess. But this is Shanghai people...the future center of anything urban infrastructure-wise. We definitely need Shanghai to have the Shanghai Eye.

I think the Bubble-Pearl-Dildo-Tower should do the trick.

Atkins has won an international design competition to design a five-star resort hotel set within a beautiful water-filled quarry in the Songjiang district close to Shanghai in China. Its stunning concept designs inspired by the natural water and landscape features of the quarry captured the imagination of judges to quash competition from two other international firms. The innovative design of the 400-bed resort hotel stands two levels higher than the rock face of the 100 metre deep quarry and includes underwater public areas and guestrooms. It will incorporate conference facilities for up to 1,000 people, a banqueting centre, restaurants, cafés and sports facilities. Sustainability is integral to the design ranging from using green roofing for the structures above the ground level to geothermal energy extraction. An aquatic theme runs through the design both visually and functionally. Two underwater levels will house a restaurant and guestrooms facing a ten-metre deep aquarium. The lowest level of the hotel will contain a leisure complex with a swimming pool and water-based sports. An extreme sports centre for activities such as rock climbing and bungee jumping will be cantilevered over the quarry and accessed by special lifts from the water level of the hotel.

Shanghai Sunny Riverside Towers

MulvannyG2 Architecture

This project is located on the banks of the Huang Pu River in Shanghai and will be highly visible from the 2010 World Expo site. High-end residential neighborhoods surround the two mixed-use towers which consist of a retail podium, offices, and hotel. The architectural language seeks a gesture that suggests elegance, simplicity and the graceful fluidity of the River. Additionally, the randomly placed sunshade panels on the glass curtain wall form a pattern that symbolizes the reflection of the water and waves from the river. The design intent calls for harmony and balance with integration of opposites such as hard and soft, cold and warm, solid and void, and ultimately, yin and yang.

http://www.worldarchitecturenews.com/project/uploaded_files/697_Sunny%20Riverside.jpg

Perkins Eastman’s competition entry for the for Shanghai’s Expo 2010 Public Event Center (PEC) is a 142,938 sm (1.5M sf) complex facing the Huang Pu River, the city’s major tributary. The PEC will be an architectural icon and a cultural platform for Shanghai. Three distinct buildings comprise the PEC: meeting, banquet and festival halls. There are three entrances with formal public and VIP lobbies, and one for pedestrians with a footbridge to the public panoramic gardens. Above the gardens, a loggia connects all three buildings. With a large terrace, the loggia hovers above the halls, providing gathering and circulation spaces: event, ceremonial, media halls, and kiosks. Lounges offer stunning views of the cityscape. The basement and plinth connect the lower levels between buildings. Outside, the loggia’s skin is a dynamic urban frieze, responding to changes in orientation and climate. LED tiles behind glass become large, vibrant light murals that broadcast events and allow interaction with the public. The PEC has a small ecological footprint. It collects and generates energy, takes advantage of the river, impacts the environment minimally, and has an “intelligent” skin façade for insulation.

:drool: @ that Atkins project

Yeah, I disagree on that Shanghai Wheel.. Imagine that all those cities have already got theirs, why Shanghai needs to follow them? I am glad that the plan is aborted.

They should come up with some other new ideas.

I don't like ferry wheels at all. If they want an out of place structure such as that for Beiwaitan they better retake the Shanghai Kiss project:

I think the "Shanghai Eye" Observation Wheel that I was talking about is actually the "Shanghai Kiss". Maybe, they changed their proposal (and name) with this different structural design. Nontheless, it still functions more like an observation wheel than anything else. ;)

So, is this "Shanghai Kiss" project already approved? If it is, then has construction started yet? If it is, what is the status of the construction process?

The Atkins-designed 5-star resort is the most aesthetic resort I have ever seen (as far as I can remember). It's not only gorgeous but also functionally practical.

Wow! :drool: :drool: :drool:

No, the Shanghai Kiss was a vision project by Alsop architects. But the original proposal for Beiwaitan Wheel was this one:

this da best design i have ever seen props to atkins

I first saw Atkins' quary hotel proposal on coolhunter, but was rather disillusioned and disappointed because I thought it was just a hypothetical design. But after I found out here that it may actually be built, and near Shanghai of all places, I have gotten really excited. I think it is a uniquely brilliant design, one from which many will be able to draw inspiration in designs that truly fit in with their environment.

Speaking of designs that fit in with their environment, I am also very glad that the wheel idea for Shanghai got scrapped. I can think of few things more tasteless than a giant wheel in the midst of so many beautiful skyscrapers. If anything were to be built, I would think that something like St. Louis' arch would be the best option. Its simplistic shape has a certain elegance and would add to the simplistic, yet sofisticated design that is so important in contemporary 21st centry East Asian architecture.

:eek2: That quarry hotel project is simply amazing. What a great way to use the environment perfectly to create an amazing builing!

the hotel is aweseom :eek2:

shanghai is so futuristic
I would like to work in that city when I am graduate from my university

SH*T!
I need to go back there ASAP!!!

Shanghai Hongbang International Tower, around 42 floors.

http://img101.imageshack.us/img101/6057/shanghaihongbanginternatt9.jpg


Shanghai Hongbang International Tower is located in the triangle area where Tanggu Road, Emei Road, and Wusong Road meet, in Hongkou District. It covers an area of 6,598 square meters within the site planning property line. The existing floor area is 87,000 square meters, it is a rebuilding to the existing building. create a representative icon for the rapidly emerging and developing Shanghai Hongbang Real Estate Co.,Ltd, so as to make this existing tower the first building standing at the “International Shipping Thoroughfare” of Shanghai North Bund.

The following are our several design philosophies:

Our design aims at enhancing the relationship of this tower with its surrounding roads, existing buildings, possible architectures in the future, and the landscape belt along the Huang Pu River. The design of this building will function as a trend of urban development structure of this region in the future.
This project is to endow this building with a new clear orientation. While creating the modernized office space, the newly renovated building will become the eye-catching focus in this region.
Through renovation of the existing single building, the space with one main tower and two relatively separate podiums are created. By connecting the podiums and the hall on the second floor of the main building, we reorganized the transportation of the complex and raised the efficiency of the modern office building.
This design perfectly shows the interdependence while having some emphasis among these three component structures The podiums have been renovated with tilting curved glass walls and look up the main tower with a stable form, which resembles the sailor’s showing respect to the sail. This exquisite design reviews the past of the building geographical location, and looks into perspective of both stretching sides of the Huang Pu River through our special design of a “sail”. Our design employs this concept that bases itself on the past and exhibits the future to define the spirit of the entire architectural complex.

Baoshan KF Stone project, 300m+. I think it's an old proposal, but I had never heard of this before. Baoshan district is in very in the north part of the city.

Shanghai Wusong Harbor Area Plan
Developer: Shanghai Wusong Port Development Co.,Ltd

The Shanghai Wusong Harbor International Passenger Transportation Centre is located in the Baoshan District, of Shanghai at the intersection of the Shanghai outer highway ring and the international shipping line of the Huangpu River. The design concept incorporates a modern harbor operation and management, adopts a style and structure different from the traditional civic shipping docks, and creates an urban development supported by the port activity.

The Baoshan Port integrates international shipping, commerce, tourism, business and residences. A large commercial space enhances the development of the internationally renowned harbor area. The passenger transportation centre is designed to serve sea routes, roads and subway networks and displays the power of an international transportation port on the urban cityscape. A secluded quiet area on the north is where a series of apartments are designed to meet the residential demand. A fitness club, hospital, kindergarten, restaurants and commercial buildings add richness and vitality to the design. A three hundred metre high navigation building is a new beacon that welcomes international tourists arriving by cruise ship. Large-scale commercial buildings with wave-like roofs reflect the sunshine during the day and glow at night to create a sea-like impression. The Wusong Harbor is the new symbol and a golden gate of Shanghai as the major international port city for China.

Site area:245,000 sq.m
Gross floor area:493,700 sq.m
F.A.R:2.0

More renders of Expo Area supertall. This is the same project as World Abundant Culture Center (560m), just another proposal of that never built supertall. However, since they rejected this basically because it wouldn't be finished by 2010 expo, I guess they might relaunch it after world expo celebration.

I am simply overwhelmed by the amount of construction going on in Shanghai, they just never seem to stop: even after the former mayor was sacked for using too much money for skyscrapers, allegedly.

^^ Very few big projects have been approved in the last 12 months though. Almost every project you see in this thread was firstly announced before mid 2006.

No, the Shanghai Kiss was a vision project by Alsop architects. But the original proposal for Beiwaitan Wheel was this one:

http://img257.imageshack.us/img257/2010/northbundwell3lm.jpg

You can see it in most renders of beiwaitan masterplan:
http://img157.imageshack.us/img157/3520/northbundpano017xj.jpgThat's actually a very poor design compared to the London Eye or Singapore Flyer. Perhaps it's best if they don't build this. However those asserting that Shanghai is somehow in a different class in terms of taste from Dubai should note that cluster of appallingly tacky green glass buildings in Pudong, the revolting Super Brand Mall in Pudong, the hideous Oriental Pearl Tower, and the comically awful Bund Sightseeing Tunnel. There are aesthetic masterpieces in Shanghai such as the SWFC, Jin Mao, Tomorrow Square, The Shanghai Opera House in People's Square, Andreu's Pudong Airport terminal etc, but there have been plenty of architectural atrocities as well. I think Dubai's projects are a comparable mixture of good and bad.

If you're going to build a wheel then make it beautiful like this one:

OMG!!! I'm 1000% impressed, the design is so amazingly beautiful!!!
:dance:


Atkins has won an international design competition to design a five-star resort hotel set within a beautiful water-filled quarry in the Songjiang district close to Shanghai in China. Its stunning concept designs inspired by the natural water and landscape features of the quarry captured the imagination of judges to quash competition from two other international firms. The innovative design of the 400-bed resort hotel stands two levels higher than the rock face of the 100 metre deep quarry and includes underwater public areas and guestrooms. It will incorporate conference facilities for up to 1,000 people, a banqueting centre, restaurants, cafés and sports facilities. Sustainability is integral to the design ranging from using green roofing for the structures above the ground level to geothermal energy extraction. An aquatic theme runs through the design both visually and functionally. Two underwater levels will house a restaurant and guestrooms facing a ten-metre deep aquarium. The lowest level of the hotel will contain a leisure complex with a swimming pool and water-based sports. An extreme sports centre for activities such as rock climbing and bungee jumping will be cantilevered over the quarry and accessed by special lifts from the water level of the hotel.

The design of Rui'an Center in those renderings is looking really nice, i hope they have not cancelled it. And the Taipingqiao complex is looking good too. :)

Good!! beautiful city

this is a great thread, please continue to contribute. There are so many undisclosed gem in Shanghai.

this is a great thread, please continue to contribute. There are so many undisclosed gem in Shanghai.

The amount of new projects coming out in Shanghai is extremely low since one year ago or so, I don't know why. In comparison with most big Chinese cities, Shanghai is rather dead about new big projects :( Most projects you see in this thread are old proposals which have been changed or were planned long time ago.

They are starting many, many new things within a couple of years, but almost all of them are old projects. Excepting Shanghai Center and a couple more, I can't remember more new big skyscrapers for Shanghai with serious chances to become real. Even cities like Wuxi or Hangzhou are releasing more big stuff than Shanghai this year. The Chinese skyboom has moved back to Guangzhou and Shenzhen, but the true miracle is starting within 2010 in both Chongqing, Tianjin and Shenyang, so many freaking huge projects there.

I guess the government realized that other cities may need further growth besides the fact that Shanghai is already congested. This will also be good so that people will not transfer to better cities like Shanghai. There are still many cities in China that has good harbor system and land transportation system. I believe its better if the government take advantage of that or suffer the consequences thats happening to big cities in the world.

I think nobody posted this proposal here before, 4x200m+.

Very promising. I saw another proposal for the same area two years ago and it was disgusting, just an area of 20-25fl luxury residentials.

looking good so far, hope it will be build :)

Pudong commercial area to be extended



部分地块开始动迁 陆家嘴"金融城"东扩启动
2007年08月11日15:13 新闻晚报



　　晚报讯浦东陆家嘴“金融城”东扩和二层步行连廊建设部分地块动迁工作业已启动。这是昨日在浦东新区人大常委会上传出的消息，会上还透露了浦东新区对于世博场馆的后续利用计划。

　　2007上半年，浦东新区的第三产业发展明显加快，共实现增加值655.73亿元，占生产总值比重已上升到51.5%。金融聚焦的战略进一步得到实现，增加值204.4亿元，成为浦东新区三产增长的亮点。截至6月底，入驻浦东的金融机构总数累计达410家，12家外资法人银行相继成立，占全国的 2/3。金融机构的高度集聚让陆家嘴的楼宇日渐紧俏。陆家嘴金融城的130多幢商务办公楼宇，平均租售率在93%以上，即使如此，很多想落户浦东的金融机构还是面临着一楼难求的局面。

　　据了解，“金融城”东扩先行启动的范围包括世纪大道以北、浦东大道以南、浦东南路以东、崂山西路以西。东扩的部分将主要用来建造商用办公楼及配套设施，目前在建的30个商办楼宇中,预计今年上半年可竣工9个；同时，还有25个项目正在拟建中。

　　对于世博场馆的后续利用，昨天，浦东新区副区长万大宁在新区人大常委会上表示，该区今后拟利用世博留下的场馆资源，适度布局一些展馆设施和配套设施，与新国际博览中心形成错位竞争。

　　浦东将紧邻济阳路交通枢纽，规划布局浦东旅游集散中心，在三林区域布局一个有一定规模的主题类旅游景点，布局2个-3个中小型旅游项目。

zorg, that's great news! demolish those ugly red roof apartment as soon as possible.

Ugly? They look good compared to most residentials in Shanghai. And Shanghai already looks like Sao Paulo now, skyscrapers everywhere, so if there are no more projects, it will still look very developed.

i agree with oliver, these small red apartments are ugly. i want to see 200m towers instead of them

Atkins To Turn Abandoned Quarry Into Hotel
Published on 2007-07-27
Imagine a flooded opencast quarry near a bustling city. It's not normally the sort of place you'd expect for a luxury hotel but British design firm Atkins have come up with a solution for what is one of the largest holes in the ground in China reaching almost 100 metres deep.

Called the Hanging Gardens Hotel, the project is designed around the concept of water, both real and imagined which takes an existing water feature and adds the sculptural representation of a moving one to it enlivening what was previously dead.

Occupying a sheer cliff side in the Songjiang quarry close to Shanghai, the hotel resort curves concavely around the rock-faces rising to 19 floors of luxury accommodation above the water-line.

There is also set to be two levels of accommodation below the waterline with rooms having Perspex glass that will give them clear views underwater, something more befitting the lair of a James Bond baddie.

The two main hotel blocks are separated by a glass atrium that cuts through them as if it is a flowing waterfall whilst the top level is linked to a pod more like an Ewok's hut that is cantilevered right out over the cliff and above the water and will offer pursuits such as bungee jumping for those who don't mind getting the tip of their nose wet.

Other leisure options on offer will include the obvious rock climbing opportunity, boating, a covered swimming pool with the cliff-side still included and walkways suspended above the water for a nice moon-lit stroll.

Guests will be accommodated in the 400 hotel rooms and there will be the usual corporate hospitality of conference areas for up to a thousand people, a banqueting centre and numerous restaurants for diners who like a view with a difference.

The entire scheme is aimed at being environmentally friendly with photovoltaic panels on the roof and a heat pump with energy extractor in the water. Even the atrium has been planned to help energy efficiency by not only being a conservatory with large amounts of vegetation but also working as circulation passage for air heated by the sun.

What the Hanging Gardens Hotel offers more than anything isn't luxury accommodation for guests with massive bank accounts but the hope that these industrial scars we have cut deep in the earth into can be transformed into something a bit more worthwhile than watery holes polluted with heavy metals.

-The other plot adjacent from the Jing An Temple has been blocked off with signage
-I forget the name (the building that has the open book crown) is under construction. The guy at the site said it was a 60+ floor office tower

All this in the Jing An district

^^

The high occupancy rate of Shanghai's offices should be very evident at night. Unlike most Chinese cities, most of the windows in major office buildings are lit. Many cities in China do have a very serious low occupancy rate problem such as Dalian, Xiamen, Harbin, Shenyang, Wuhan, Xining, Urumqi, etc. and many second-tier cities that have many skyscrapers but are pitchblack come nightfall. Shanghai is NOT one of them. Just a picture of the city at night should be sufficient proof that there is not a vacancy problem there.

wow... instersting tower!

why do building/urban planners in Shanghai like making the distance between buildings so enormous? Just look at the IFC or SWFC, Jin Mao, etc. You have parking lots next to some of these buildings. Such a lack of density makes me say that I prefer places like Hong Kong, Tokyo, or NYC. Does anyone think this is gonna change say if the population density gets bigger or if demand for office space continues to skyrocket? Cuz honestly, the thing I can't stand about Shanghai is its lack of dense clusters and lack of skyscraper canyons.

^^
You're talking about Lujiazui, ie. a small piece of land where the tallest scrapers are located on Pudong. The rest of the city (ie. Puxi and the rest of Pudong), is as hyperdense as any other Asian metropolis.

A problem with Lujiazui is that many people on these forums seem to think that "that's what Shanghai is about". Seriously, it's just a small plot of land with tall skyscrapers and large boulevards. The real Shanghai is on the other side of the river - and so are 99% of the skyscrapers.

People don't go around saying that Canary Wharf is the real London, right? It's the same for Lujiazui.

You can notice the maglev extension for first time as well as two new lines and one extension (in grey).

I thought they had cancelled the maglev extensions to the Hongqiao Airport and to Hangzhou???

I thought they had cancelled the maglev extensions to the Hongqiao Airport and to Hangzhou???

As far as I know, Longyang - World Expo - South Railway Station - Hongqiao Airport is u/c. Hongqiao - Hangzhou is cancelled.

^^^wow longyang - railway station u/c already? thats awesome ^.^

and @drukenmunkey888..i really do like lujiazui personally, wats the point of having such a dense plot?

its good to have a small park and many free space around it :)

I feel like it looks too artificial and doesn't have the same imposing, powerful quality that Lower Manhattan or Hong Kong would have, although I am aware that Shinjuku towers actually have considerable space between them. Its just that Lujiazui does not look grand enough, or large enough, and it carries an artificial air to it. As far as Puxi goes, hopefully one day they will clear out all the slummy houses in between the classical buildings in Huangpu and replace them with high-quality offices so it resembles Hong Kong.

wow sifc is tall now

BTW look at the size of people and the size of cars and compare them LOL

The red pavillions look like a footstep, a panda's maybe? The design is ok, it depends on the materials they want to use to cover the stars, the result could be very bland.

Shanghai's metro system will have 512km by 2012 and 970km by 2020.

http://www.shghj.gov.cn/News_Show.aspx?id=9198 (Chinese)

I hadn't noticed this until today. The planned length keeps being increased once and again :master:

970km is the world's longest isnt it? i hear its going to be anyway.

i still dont get it why would they build a line to PVG when they have the maglev already and they are not earning anything out of it...

nice updates on the latest u/c thanks z0rg :)

any info on Pudong Airport T3? is it going to be built? such a beautiful design

Shanghai is growing so fast that each year you will find another skyline :)

Yes I look like T3...!! :)

Shanghai competes with Beijing seriously
I cannot decide to send my"wow" to whom!

^^why?

maybe its that beijing competes with shanghai? T.T
beijing is building many skyscrappers now

Shanghai's metro system will have 512km by 2012 and 970km by 2020.

So Shanghai would already have the world's longest metro system in 2012. Question though, is the 970 km strictly subway or is it an integrated commuter rail, light rail, and subway? When I say commuter rail, I mean a system like the Metro North, Long Island RailRoad, Tokyo's commuter lines, or S-Bahn. I feel compelled to make that clear because so far, Shanghai's "commuter rail" looks like just really long metro lines instead of a true suburban rail setup. Do you know if this has changed?

^^its just the subways (line 1/2/3etc) plus one maglev train

most of them are subway..maybe a few (3? 4?) of them will be on the elevated tracks on the ground including the maglev train to pudong airport :)

^^

So Shanghai does not plan to build any monorails or commuter rails? Thats unfortunate. I was hoping its plan won't be so monotonous.

^^
The metro works as a commuter system in the sense that it transports people from outer areas of the city to downtown, just like in many European cities.

^^

So Shanghai does not plan to build any monorails or commuter rails? Thats unfortunate. I was hoping its plan won't be so monotonous.

I guess some new lines will be elevated, they are constructing a double deceker bridge over the Huangpu which includes elevated light railways. Also, there is no reason to spend a lot of money in underground subway for the suburbs I think.

However, it is hard to say how many km will be underground, on surface or elevated. Even some of the existing lines have the three kinds, like metro line 4.

Btw, I think we are seeing just the first stages of Shanghai metro planning. The planned gird, even in the maps showing 22 lines, is still too dispersed. Even in the center there are many areas which will be too far away from the closest line. So, I suppose they'll go on meshing the gird constructing more and more lines in the future. Notice that Shanghai is a very dense city, it really needs a dense metro gird.

Another thing they should fix is constructing more stations. Many stations are too far away from each other, around one kilometer, too much for a dense city like Shanghai. But since there are still too few lines for such a monster megacity, if they built many stations the trains would be even more packed. Maybe in the future.

Gregotti beats the competition in Shanghai

Gregotti Associati


Gregotti Associati win competition for extending financial district

The project prepared by Milan based Gregotti Associati, joined for the occasion by local partner Thape, has been selected in the restricted international consultation held by the Government of Shanghai to extend the eastern part of the financial district of Lujiazui (better known as Pudong). The project involves an area of around 850 thousand m2 at the centre of the famous downtown area of Shanghai, where innumerable skyscrapers, including the Jin Mao, already rise up, in an urban scene that is transforming fast, with plots still to be built on and a fabric where the new towers loom up in isolation. Beginning with this complex architectural context that is in the process of formation, the project concentrates on the integration of the new eastern financial zone of Lujiazui in the vast financial district of Shanghai, bringing out the possibilities of a compact urban configuration that is capable of incorporating the future towers into a coordinated design for the city. The qualities of the project that have enabled it to win the international competition, first of all establish a network of public spaces extending along the sides of the monumental axis of Century Boulevard, regulating the elevation of a new city core with an orthogonal grid, a new centre for service sector activities with attached services and residences, consisting of towers integrated into a clear urban morphology. Pedestrian only streets, plazas, tree-lined avenues and avenues of water distribute the alignments along the regulating grid, its rhythm marked by blocks designed as bases that are raised 20 metres with a green covering. Containing services, commerce and various facilities, the bases guarantee the ground level a high level of use by the collective urban life and avoid the residual spaces with no identity that are normally produced by the isolation of skyscrapers. The towers rising from the bases can therefore take on forms rich in architectural variations, yet respecting an urban structure that is well defined by the blocks and by their alignments of the road layouts. This philosophy of a “city of skyscrapers” measured at ground level by human steps and proportions suitable for social life is entrusted to three large malls, or parallel avenues, over 70 metres wide, with the city mall (a sequence of plazas with facilities) at the centre and at the sides a water mall and a green mall, intersected on the front facing the river by a tree-lined avenue. The general plan also sets itself the objective of merging four general levels and making them coexist in the scheme: the level of the pedestrian city at ground level; the lowest level (at -7.50) where the service roads, technical spaces and parking areas, plus a commercial promenade by the new canal, are located; the level of the blocks (at +20), where a further green mantle stretches out; finally, the various heights of the towers that will rise up from the blocks. The project for the new zone with a prevalently service function requires the support of a strong infrastructure: two underground motorways and five underground railway lines will avoid mobility jams, guaranteeing the use of the area to over 150 thousand people at the same time. On the basis of quantitative parameters that envisage flows of these dimensions for a surface zoned for building of over 2 million m2, the city core of Lujiazui is prefigured as a genuine new urban pole. For this the project envisages around half the surface being for service sector use in a strict sense, and the other half being divided up between hospitality services, commerce and entertainment, with hotels, residences and the insertion of structures to host exhibitions and performances. This functional structuring, combined with the centrality conferred upon the large public spaces, will favour the use of the area throughout the entire day, attracting diverse social sectors of the Chinese metropolis.

Nice plan, too low skyscrapers and too low density. Let's hope the result wont be so modest.

Atkins To Turn Abandoned Quarry Into Hotel
Published on 2007-07-27
Imagine a flooded opencast quarry near a bustling city. It's not normally the sort of place you'd expect for a luxury hotel but British design firm Atkins have come up with a solution for what is one of the largest holes in the ground in China reaching almost 100 metres deep.

Called the Hanging Gardens Hotel, the project is designed around the concept of water, both real and imagined which takes an existing water feature and adds the sculptural representation of a moving one to it enlivening what was previously dead.

Occupying a sheer cliff side in the Songjiang quarry close to Shanghai, the hotel resort curves concavely around the rock-faces rising to 19 floors of luxury accommodation above the water-line.

There is also set to be two levels of accommodation below the waterline with rooms having Perspex glass that will give them clear views underwater, something more befitting the lair of a James Bond baddie.

The two main hotel blocks are separated by a glass atrium that cuts through them as if it is a flowing waterfall whilst the top level is linked to a pod more like an Ewok's hut that is cantilevered right out over the cliff and above the water and will offer pursuits such as bungee jumping for those who don't mind getting the tip of their nose wet.

Other leisure options on offer will include the obvious rock climbing opportunity, boating, a covered swimming pool with the cliff-side still included and walkways suspended above the water for a nice moon-lit stroll.

Guests will be accommodated in the 400 hotel rooms and there will be the usual corporate hospitality of conference areas for up to a thousand people, a banqueting centre and numerous restaurants for diners who like a view with a difference.

The entire scheme is aimed at being environmentally friendly with photovoltaic panels on the roof and a heat pump with energy extractor in the water. Even the atrium has been planned to help energy efficiency by not only being a conservatory with large amounts of vegetation but also working as circulation passage for air heated by the sun.

What the Hanging Gardens Hotel offers more than anything isn't luxury accommodation for guests with massive bank accounts but the hope that these industrial scars we have cut deep in the earth into can be transformed into something a bit more worthwhile than watery holes polluted with heavy metals.

OMG! This is awesome, I hope its going to get built! Any news? This design is so unique.

However, it is hard to say how many km will be underground, on surface or elevated. Even some of the existing lines have the three kinds, like metro line 4.

Notice that Shanghai is a very dense city, it really needs a dense metro gird.

Well I mean I was thinking about suburban grade-level rail like metro north or LIRR that go by timetables and serve very far outlying suburbs like Chongming. That should be very cheap shouldn't it?

By the way, speaking of density, I saw in the Shanghai metro map thread in the Chinese Mainland Projects and Construction forum that each individual county (like Fengxian or Songjiang or Qingpu) will have relatively dense networks in it of themselves. So are they shown on the 22 line map or are these even grander plans?

I understand what you are saying. These are plans for only 2020. I mean one thing that bothers me is Shanghai's lack of 4 lane express train setup. For a city as huge as Shanghai, you can't possibly expect someone to ride from Qingpu to downtown and have to sit through every stop right? Hopefully, metro planners will take this into account.

@ z0rg: awesome renders and informations! finally they are removing those red colored roofs low rises!!!!!! i always hated them just nearby the biggest CBD in shanghai. A few towers in the plan looks 200+ and most will at least be 180+ Although the densty seems low, but there are a lot of greens! shanghai needs more green areas

annd do you see those 4 dense ~200m highrises near huangpu river? where they just removed the shipyards. Those are included in this render too, hope it will be reality soon

@zergcerebrates, i have heard the hotel is u/c and iwll be completed in 2011? or 12? not susre, but in the future :)

Well I mean I was thinking about suburban grade-level rail like metro north or LIRR that go by timetables and serve very far outlying suburbs like Chongming. That should be very cheap shouldn't it?


lol thats not subway, thats train. The 950km will be excluded from that of sure!

^^

Shanghai doesn't have any train plans at this time does it?

^^why whould you want trains? we want maglevs :p

^^

well if this is a serious question then, conventional commuter trains are cheaper for commuter, more cost effective, more manageable, easier to serve huge volumes of customers, etc. Plus, with Shanghai's huge size, local metro is simply not efficient enough. It needs either commuter rails or 4 track express service, neither of which seems to be in the planning stage. Despite Shanghai metro's planned size, if neither of these options are being considered, then the huge 970 km system might become a stale, bulky, slow, inefficient broken arm.

By the way, love the new Lujiazui. Its good to see Shanghai plan more aesthetically pleasing 200m box towers rather than experiment with hideous, deformed monstrosities that sprouted in the old Lujiazui. This kinda reminds me of Shinjuku.

^^the boxes are just giving you an idea of how tall the buildings are and how many buildings are there.

there will be a specific design to each building later on i think

Nice plan, too low skyscrapers and too low density. Let's hope the result wont be so modest.

yes agree, the towers are much too small and too much space between them.

I don't think we should be so pesimistic about heights. Notice that there are basically two heights, one for midrises (around 120m) and another for highrises (around 210m), all the buildings excepting a few have one of these heights. The render is so conceptual that I don't think it is trustable about the skyline.

Though it is severely lacking in density, these buildings are not short at all. If you compare them to the Jin Mao, SWFC, and the ring of 200+m offices already built, you will notice that even in this render, these towers are rarely under 200m.

@kix111

I mean, I guess at this point in time, judging from recently built Shanghai buildings, we can trust architects enough not to design horrendous monstrosities of the mid 90's. New buildings built after 2000's have had very sleek, aesthetically pleasing designs so lets just hope developers keep it that way.

For that like splitting legs structure, how do they erect the lift if thus so? and if theres no lift, how conveniently you can reach the top floors?

I've been to Super Brand. It does little for the streetscape; Lujiazui is just as barren as it always has been. There is so much potential, but they chose to build big plazas and wide streets -- I believe the Chinese term would be "huang liang," no?

haha yes, how do you know?

i have to say it is very 'huang liang' all day other than rush hours and weekends

In Lujiazui there are many minor plots which are too little to locate a skyscraper. Instead of grass, they should host leisure facilities of many kinds, that would boost pedestrian life.

^^yeah especially the plots near oriental pearl tower, the first layer of the skyline, they should build some buildings like ~50m tall to give a better look of the current skyline.

the current skyline you see are all the biuldings around 0.8 kilometer from OPT
