SLA creates a public urban oasis for Shanghai’s newest commercial development, The Springs.
The project is a major commercial development in Shanghai’s Yangpu district - one of the fastest growing neighborhoods and education hubs in China - and aims to provide new, public amenities to downtown Shanghai.
The Springs evokes the dramatic mountain landscapes found throughout rural China, mirroring the mountain landscape with tall, terraced towers sheltering a green public square. The massing of the buildings creates a sheltered microclimate within this plaza, with building positioning and vegetation working to improve air quality, reduce noise pollution and bring natural light into the urban space.
