About Gaofuli 高層ビル

高富麗(ガオフーリー)は、中国・上海に建つ高層複合用途ビルである。本建築は歴史的建造物保全地区および延中緑地に隣接し、東側には都心のランドマークへと視線が抜ける眺望軸を有する。デザインは、垂直性を強調した構成、多角形の輪郭、面取りやテーパー形状によって和らげられた隅角部を通して、伝統的な石庫門建築の意匠を継承している。ファサードは銅色の金属素材と温かみのあるセラミック調パネルを組み合わせた。東面と南面からは自然光と眺望を取り込み、一部をピロティとした地上階では、北側にエントランスと車寄せを配置している。

Production Technology
In terms of materials and construction, traditional Shikumen architecture is characterized by the use of red and gray bricks, complemented by yellow sand and cement. The stone detailing on the door headers adds to the warm and textured facade. In the modern interpretation, the building facade retains this material tradition by incorporating copper-toned metals and warm, ceramic-like panels, creating a contemporary yet timeless aesthetic.
Design Challenge
As part of Shanghai's urban renewal initiative, this project emphasizes the preservation of local historical features. The ultra-high-rise plot is strategically situated near heritage conservation districts and Yanzhong Greenland, with a visual connection to a prominent city center landmark to the east. Taking these contextual advantages into account, the design concept focuses on seamlessly blending local culture, natural landscapes, and the vibrancy of contemporary urban life.
Research
The site's constraints influence the building's unconventional layout; however, the design team effectively utilizes the east and south sides of the plot to incorporate natural views and maximize sunlight for the development. The ground floor is partially elevated, positioning the entrance and drop-off area on the north side to create a cohesive street frontage that complies with safety and evacuation standards.

Operation Flow
The design draws from the traditional architectural style of classic Shanghai buildings. Key features include vertical compositions, strong polygonal outlines, and entrance spaces that reflect the vernacular forms found in the surrounding historic conservation area. The iconic shapes of Gaofuli's structures have been abstracted, resulting in softened corners with chamfered and tapered forms. In tribute to the distinctive Shikumen-style doorways.
