140 Years Ago

“famous street in Shanghai” compiled by shanghai archives

1909102 Years Ago “Pu’s get cancelled”

In 1909, the autonomous government structure was implemented in Shanghai, and the Pu system was cancelled. But because people were used to this name, this name is kept until now.

197140 Years Ago In High Demand...

In the 1970s, along with the urgent need of transportation for passengers Shiliupu once again became a port passenger terminal. There was three gathering points, escalators, surveillance cameras and small waiting rooms with air conditioning.

1850“Shiliupu gets its name”

In order to defend from rebel forces in the time (the Peasant Uprising) the government created a system of companies called “Pu” to protect the ports. Initially, it was planned to create 27 “Pu’s,” but due to unknown reasons, only 16 were created. This one is the 16th, the largest in Shanghai.

150 Years Ago1860

“The Portal of the Sea”Emperor Qianlong of the Qing dynasty, allowed commercial activities from the sea into Shanghai - It had superior geographical position and became the tie-point of north and south

150 Years Ago1862

Ulysses S. Grant visits ShanghaiAfter a 21-gun salute, the warehouse at the Jin-liyuan dock was used to welcome the president. The dock was built by the Meiqichang Company.

200005/20 In High Demand?

“The old warehouse at the site of where the Shiliupu development stands today was home to a rich history. In its hayday more than 40,000 people traversed the dock daily - over 6.7 million a year - as they arrived in or departed from Shanghai. It was for many decades the largest passenger transport dock in China.” With the development of the highway, the shipyard was day-by-day forgotten by people.

CONTEXT HISTORY

200405/05 12/02/2004 - The Beginning of the End

- The site directly adjacent to the Shiliupu dock followed the same level of density as that of the old town- On December 2, 2004, the site of the old Shiliupu Dock was demolished- Origianally, Shiliupu ship yard worked as a harbor from Shanghai to the cities around Chang jiang River- Businesses were moved to the Wusong Tourist Center

CONTEXT HISTORY

200511/27 12/02/2004 - Old Shiliupu Demolished

- The site directly adjacent to the Shiliupu dock followed the same level of density as that of the old town- On December 2, 2004, the site of the old Shiliupu Dock was demolished

CONTEXT HISTORY

200611/12 8-1 Plot is leveled

- By late 2006, the 8-1 plot was demolished along with the Shiliupu dock. - The future of this site is still uncertain. - To the north of the 8-1 plot, deconstruction made way for the construction of a bus terminal

CONTEXT HISTORY

200804/25 The Bus Terminal and Shiliupu

- Construction on both the bus terminal, the connecting underground ‘plaza’ space and the new Shilupu development was begun.

CONTEXT HISTORY


- Construction on both the bus terminal, the connecting underground ‘plaza’ space and the new Shilupu development was begun.- Construction for the adjacent bus terminal was initiated

CONTEXT HISTORY


- Due to the fact that Shiliupu and the Bus Terminal were to be completed prior to the Expo (May 1-October 31, 2010), the development seemed to be behind schedule a year prior to the event.- The 8-1 plot was used as a parking lot for the Expo 2010.

CONTEXT HISTORY

201003/10 Site ready for Expo 2010

- By March 10, 2010, the site of the Shiliupu and the adjacant bus Terminal were ready for use. - “Clouds over the Huangpu River” - Expo 2010 Southbound Ferry Terminal- on February 1, 2010, the 8-1 site was auctioned and sold 9.22 Billion to the Shanghai Zheng Da company

CONTEXT DESIGN COMPETITIONTHE SHILIUPU SHIP YARD...

Is only the first phase of a multi-phased project that includes both the watertfront and the surrounding area (Block 8-1, for example)

The design competition was completed in 2004, and the resulting winning design was actually built.

http://www.space.bartlett.ucl.ac.uk/chamspam/events/shiling_zheng_chen_yi_london.pdf


at Renmin Dong Lu, the buildings will be restored, and the characteristics will be commercial, residential and office synthesis use

The most close plot near the residential will be celebrity community garden South of the site is very exclusive housing.

Alternative 3, SBA Design

The 8-1 plot delivers a gross floor area of 370,000 sq meters, 70% of which is desig-nated to office use. This plot was acquired by Zendai Property at a price of RMB 9.22 billion, which makes it the highest recorded total land price in Shanghai

ALTERNATIVE 1: TMA ARCHITEC

ALTERNATIVE 2: 3DReid

ALTERNATIVE 3: SBA Design

ALTERNATIVE 4: John Portman & Associates


The design competition invited many different architects from all over the world. Here are four different design proposals for the waterfront, as well as with the resulting 8-1 plot in the background.


The different design firms had similar foci, all of which included the feeling of using this site as a place of connection, weaving, or transi-tioning between spaces.

“This project began in 1997. The site is located at pier 16 Shanghai China It will develop to be waterfront include: shopping-mall,hotel, office bulding. fisherman wharf.”

Taiwanese Architecture Firm: http://www.architec.com.tw/P4.htm?detectflash=false&

“This modern development sits sensitively between the ancient city and new bund development on the waterfront, with green roofs providing a break in the vernacular from old to new”

http://www.3dreid.com/uploads/content/objects/462/3DReid_masterplanning_brochure.pdf

“To improve the historic streets and spatial structure, so that the entire block connects the waterfront area and the original old city in east-west direction, as well as the historic area of the Bund area and the EXPO-site in south-north direction.”

http://www.sba-design.eu/3002-Shi-Liu-Pu-Areal.html.en

The Block 8 site represents more than just a physical connection from the Huangpu River to the Old Town, it presents an opportunity to establish a supportive transitional relationship between the waterfront and the surrounding cultural zones.

CONTEXT THE FUTURETHE SHILIUPU SHIP YARD...

In the greater context, the area around the west side of the Huangpu river is set to see many new developments. The new projects will eventually transform the waterfront into areas of leisure, entertain-ment, offices or residential spaces.

The Masterplan of the Waterfront includes 4 key developments.

Altogether, there will be 35 new skyscrapers covering 260,000 square meters. But

Shanghai's officials want you to know that they're not all about just building - 169 old

homes will be slated for preservation

The 8-1 plot will extend from Zhongshan Dong Er Lu in the East to Renmin Lu in the West, Dongmen Lu in the South to Longtan Lu in

the North. The area will cover 45,000 square meters with 27,000 square meters of usable

space above ground and 10,000 square meters of usable space below ground. It is meant to become an international financial service center, which may be why they're

opting for a Twin Towers theme.

PUBLIC SPACE KEY ISSUES1 2 3

THE SHILIUPU SHIP YARD...There are three main strategies to the design of this region: to connect, to transition or to weave. In the first issue, for example, we see that there are forces of connecting the Huangpu river to the Old Town, or the Bund to the Expo, People to the Waterfront or connecting both sides of the River.
