About Discussions Projects3 Journals9

Shanghai has one of the densest and fastest-changing built environments in the world, where dense high-rise districts sit beside historic lilong neighbourhoods and riverfront redevelopment. Architects working here must balance heritage fabric, land constraints, and rapid growth. The city offers a wide range of building types and scales for study.

Community work under this topic covers renovation of old-town houses and public service stations, facade and louvre systems on multi-tower complexes, gallery buildings in stone and glass, and ecological proposals such as solar-shaded marketplaces. Together these show how the city's architecture is being adapted at both the building and neighbourhood scale.
