The Design

About Gaofuli Matayog na Gusali

Ang Gaofuli ay isang matayog na gusaling may pinaghalong gamit sa Shanghai, China. Nakatayo ang gusali malapit sa mga distrito ng konserbasyon ng pamana at sa Yanzhong Greenland, na may biswal na ugnayan pasilangan patungo sa isang pangunahing palatandaan ng sentro ng lungsod. Ang disenyo ay humugot ng inspirasyon mula sa tradisyonal na arkitekturang Shikumen sa pamamagitan ng mga patayong komposisyon, poligonal na hugis, at pinalambot na mga sulok na may tsapladong at papaliit na anyo. Pinagsasama ng fasad ang mga metal na kulay-tanso at mainit na mga panel na animo'y seramika. Ang silangan at timog na bahagi ay nagpapapasok ng liwanag ng araw at mga tanawin, habang ang bahagyang nakaangat na palapag sa lupa ay naglalagay ng pasukan at lugar ng bababaan sa hilagang bahagi.

Unique Properties: heritage while integrating modern urban vitality. Strategically positioned near heritage conservation districts and Yanzhong Greenland, the development features a prominent eastward visual link to the city’s central landmark. The design concept harmonizes local cultural identity, natural landscapes, and contemporary living, creating a dynamic balance between preservation and innovation.
Dimensions & Packaging: Project area: 46080 square meters
Tags: Gaofuli, Super High-rise Buildings
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.

Project Duration: Shanghai, China
Start time: 2023
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.
