About Gaofuli Edificio Alto
Gaofuli è un edificio alto a destinazione mista situato a Shanghai, in Cina. L'edificio si trova nei pressi dei distretti di tutela del patrimonio storico e del parco Yanzhong Greenland, con un collegamento visivo verso est a un landmark centrale della città. Il progetto si ispira all'architettura tradizionale Shikumen attraverso composizioni verticali, profili poligonali e angoli addolciti con forme smussate e rastremate. La facciata combina metalli dalle tonalità ramate con pannelli caldi di aspetto ceramico. I lati est e sud captano luce naturale e vedute, mentre il piano terra, in parte sopraelevato, colloca l'ingresso e l'area di sosta per la discesa dei passeggeri sul lato nord.

- 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.

- 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.

- 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.
