History vs. the Present — History and the Present

A large-scale development project located in a historic district of Shanghai. It consists of a high-rise office tower featuring wing-like natural ventilation openings and a low-rise commercial section that offers a modern interpretation of the alleyways (li long) found in traditional Chinese communal housing. The project has created a new urban space while respecting the city’s history and streetscape.
