Bund Finance Centre by Foster + Partners and Heatherwick Studio in #Shanghai #China | 2017 The Bund Finance Centre – a major new mixed-use development jointly designed by Foster + Partners and Heatherwick Studio – is set to revitalise Shanghai’s waterfront. Occupying a prominent site on the Bund, the buildings define the 'end point' to Shanghai's most famous street. The 420,000- square metre masterplan is highly permeable for pedestrians, with the design conceived as a point of connection between the old town and the new financial district. The cultural centre is an optimum blend of craft and technology. It is inspired by traditional Chinese weaving, while incorporating the latest cutting-edge technology that helps withstand earthquakes, typhoons and severe weather. Its unique form provides a memorable and extraordinary experience for visitors, while the illuminated stage and the motion of the moving veil creates a unique backdrop to the theatre of city life, 📸 by @imclumsypanda Via @skyscraping_architecture .
