Description
Shanghai Tower is a visually driven volume that captures the emotion and spirit of China's tallest building. Designed by Gensler, this 632-meter-tall tower is a transformative centerpiece of Shanghai's Lujiazui commercial district.
The tower's design fuses references to nature and Chinese cultural traditions, inspired by traditional lane houses unique to Shanghai. Brief essays by the company's founders and principals provide meaningful context to the tower's creation, including its commission in an international design competition.
