From the Architect Report: The street of 1000 red jars :The Former French Concession has long put its stamp on this part of Shanghai, and it’s obviously an honour for a French architect to design an urban space here in tune with its urbanism, its plane trees, narrow streets and inhabited landscapes. Between Ma Dang and Dan Shui streets, it was tempting to create a shortcut that would be an urban and commercial passageway, a sequence evoking vanished surroundings that have been completely reimagined and are new and modern; a high, narrow street that’s covered and protected... The buildings need to know where they reside so as to create a desire for unique and unpredictable walks. Being open, our project fits into the quarter’s geometry. The exterior, in a greyish-beige colour, offers glimpses through the two entrances on Ma Dang and Dan Shui streets, of a surprising array of lights, colours and vegetation. A shopping street on two levels, sequenced by overhead walkways and small bridges, is submerged between two flowery walls made up of rows of earthernware jars planted with different species, both green and coloured. The complementarity between the shops facing each other, the activities of the offices and the restaurants up under the roofs, creates a familiar and naturally animated street, setting pleasing walks as a target and offering an inviting new itinerary between Ma Dang and Dan Shui streets. Shadowplays produced by the adjustible slats of the blinds, in front of windows bordered by huge flowerpots, play on the mystery of presences and activities thereby protected, while inventing a landscape of vegetal friezes in the colours of the season and of the different flowers. The walls of the passageway will be painted in variations of brown, amber, orange and multiple reds. I’ve imagined all these loving details to enrich Shanghai, on the Huai Hai side, with this unique new open-and-covered street: ‘the street of 1000 red jars’.

Jean Nouvel March 2021

From the Architect Report: Designed by Shohei Shigematsu and OMA New York for NTT Urban Development Co., Ltd., Harajuku Quest will be a renewed commercial and cultural center in Harajuku, Tokyo, and the firm’s first ground-up mixed-use building in Omotesando. Construction of the 84,000-square-feet complex began in October and is expected to complete in February 2025.

Located on a site in between Omotesando and OkuHarajuku–a short distance away from major public destinations including Yoyogi Park, Meiji Jingu, and Harajuku Station–Harajuku Quest is a new phase of NTT’s effort to transform an area of Harajuku with energetic, urban life.The project builds upon NTT’s “With Harajuku”, opened in 2020, and a larger urban development to facilitate a new flow of people through a series of alleys, squares, and commercial zones for informal encounters and exchange. Harajuku Quest will draw people and activities from both Omotesando and Oku-Harajukuand connect the two areas for the first time.

Omotesando presents a rare axial thoroughfare in an area predominantly defined by winding, non-linear streets, with a strong urban identity defined by zelkova trees, wide sidewalks, and string of flagships of well-recognized global brands. The growing need for expressive branding in retail architecture has contributed to the growth of building scales on the street over time, with stores emphasizing distinct identities only toward the main axis. Just north beyond Omotesando’s mainstream corridor, Oku-Harajuku offers a more intimate experience—a “village” townscape of tight, organic streets and humanscale buildings housing independent shops. Since the 1970’s, the neighborhood has cultivated a distinct youth culture and creative movement with a global recognition and influence on streetstyle fashion.

In response to the two contexts, a single form is shaped by two different manipulations within the site’s zoning envelope—pinching and pulling for a sculptural expression toward Omotesando and stepping and fanning for an inhabitable façade toward Oku-Harajuku. A monolithic, transparent face rises on Omotesando, setback at the top to bring light in and set back at the ground to make a funneling pedestrian passage to OkuHarajuku.

In opposition to the expansive verticality, a series of human-scale terraces rise in steps, creating variegated, open spaces for programs to spill out toward Harajuku. A public datum on the second level terrace is expanded to form a large plaza for cultural programs and gatherings, extending neighborhood life into the site and the building activity beyond the traditional retail experience.

Shohei Shigematsu, OMA Partner, said, “The conjunction of Omotesando and Oku-Harajuku embodies a duality of urban context as well as Tokyo’s fashion and retail culture. It was essential for the new building to bridge the two areas and express two stories. Like two sides of the same coin, a single building conveys alternate personalities, connected by a new public corridor. Harajuku Quest acts as both a visual and programmatic convergence point of Omotesando and Oku-Harajuku—a gathering place where visitors can experience the activities and aura of global fashion and local cultural scene simultaneously.”

From the Architect Report: The good neighbour urban, carfree IKEA furniture store and hostel with public roof terrace

Car-free + urban

This building makes an important contribution to the future of a living and ecological city and also to the future of retailing – this is an urban IKEA with excellent connections to the public transport system and an inviting roof terrace – a good neighbour.

From a three-phase architecture competition involving several workshops querkraft emerged as winner. At the briefing stage already, the client formulated the aim: “We want to be a good neighbour”. querkraft’s approach to achieving this goal is reflected by a building that represents an added value, also for its surroundings. The roof terrace accessible to the public that offers somewhere to drink coffee, to relax and to enjoy the view of the city, and the large amount of greenery on all the facades – these are all aspects that contribute to being “a good neighbour”.

External shelving

The building’s external shell recalls a set of shelves. This about 4.5-metre-deep, shelf-like zone runs around the building and provides shade. It allows spaces to expand, provides room for terraces and greenery, as well as for servant elements like lifts, escape stairs and building services.

Openness allows interaction

The entrance level is a lively place – a generous void will link it to the retail areas that stretch in front of it along Mariahilfer Straße. A void extending right through the interior of the building will allow visual contacts between the different storeys.

160 trees on and around the building

Trees on the facade and on the roof have a perceptible impact on the microclimate. As the trees could be placed at different heights and depths in the building there is more planting than would be possible on the building’s ground area. In the “Urban Heat Island-Strategy Plan“ of the City of Vienna planting is one of the most important measures. The climbing plants and trees of the IKEA furniture store have a cooling and humidifying effect – like a kind of natural air conditioning system. The air temperature will be improved at the pedestrian level, too. Computer simulations indicate a relevant temperature decrease of 1.5°C.

Centralised + efficient building services

To ensure efficient conditioning of the building the services are based on a simple principle: short distances and direct access. In the building the infrastructure is left visible, which increases the perceived height of the space.

Mix of functions through open floor plans

The prefabricated reinforced concrete columns stand on a c. 10 x 10-metre grid that allows flexibility in the use and design of the spaces. Adaptations to meet changing demands can be made easily, as is already becoming apparent. IKEA retail occupies the lower floors, the Jo&Joe Hostel with 345 beds is located on the top two floors. This mix creates a building that is alive 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

To ensure the optimal implementation of this car-free, inner city IKEA an almost entirely female team of architects under Carmen Hottinger as querkraft’s project manager is working in close collaboration with the client.

Solar Trees Marketplace

From the Architect Report: Solar Trees Marketplace is Koichi Takada Architects latest project in China, located in the Minhang district, 20 kms south-west of Shanghai. The three-story mixed-use development will serve as a gateway to the new Shanghai Tian An Caobao Road Area Residential Masterplan by Tian An China. The overall floor area of 3,450 square meters will accommodate modular market stalls. Currently under construction, the development is due for completion at the end of 2021.

“We want to humanise buildings in the district, to be more engaging to the public and contribute to the regeneration of communities and their neighbourhoods. We want architecture to celebrate cultural identity, along with encouraging pedestrian activities and a more walkable and liveable city.”

Koichi Takada

Inspired by the rich landscape and forests of Shanghai, thirtytwo architectural ‘trees’, rise from the ground to form a canopy of timber branches above the marketplace. Echoing the green spine that connects the 155,000 square metre residential masterplan, the forest concept also references China’s commitment to be Carbon Neutral by 2060, setting a new green benchmark for mixed-use residential developments. Introducing a unique landscape to the Minhang district, Solar Trees demonstrates it is possible, through a nature-inspired approach, to transform one of the world’s most polluted and congested urban environments into a healthier and more sustainable place to live.

Engagingly Green Architecture

Distinguished by its biophilic structure, Solar Trees incorporates considered environmental and sustainable design initiatives. The timber branches and leaves of thirtytwo man-made trees sit above the footpath to provide shelter and shade, while allowing natural light and fresh air to permeate the marketplace.

Solar panels on translucent canopies generate power for the development and provide a visual cue to Tian An China’s green agenda.

A future for traditional Chinese marketplaces

The inclusion of modular market stalls will bring a sense of authenticity to the contemporary development, referencing their history as social and cultural gathering spaces and allowing a new generation to gather at its heart. Reflecting the Chinese tradition of making guests feel at home - bīn zhì rú guī – the marketplace will generate a powerful sense of community and integrate the private and public domains.

A Boulevard of Native Trees

Fifty camphor trees planted outside welcome the beginning of the green corridor that runs through the masterplan. Three thousand trees and shrubs indigenous to Shanghai, including white Magnolia (Shanghai’s city flower), Ginkgo, Camphor and Celtis Sinensis create a new and significant park. Colour coding of different plantings also acts to identify and distinguish neighbourhoods within the masterplan and offers a guide for residents to find their way home. The marketplace becomes an extension of the natural landscape, the solar canopy filtering the sunlight to allow people to enjoy the health and wellbeing benefits of shopping outdoors.

From the Architect Report: Xintiandi Atrium Renovation: An immersive garden blurs the line between indoor and outdoor . Shanghai, CHINA

With a rich history of Shikumens, elaborate gardens, and vibrant street life behind the glamour, no place captures Shanghai’s dual essence better than Xintiandi. It challenges the cookie-cutter mold by reimagining the romance of street life with a modern city context. But even upscale landmarks need updating, so when client Shui On decided to renovate the whole mall, we took the opportunity to have a space intervention.

Our task was to redesign the central atrium of Xintiandi Shanghai. How to create a lively indoor plaza able to interact with people, to make a ‘place’ more than just a shopping atrium?

Riffing from Xintiandi’s inherent hybrid design, we decided to bring the outdoors in. The first floor draws the outside with its outdoor paving and green seating islands. This flow strengthens the atrium and creates a more defined vertical space. A giant ‘trellis’ on the higher floors and public walkways overgrown with lush plants frames the atrium and focalizes the building. The vertical mullions also establish a rhythm, with the skin’s added complexity providing more depth of views.

Outdoor space flows through the building, with light and plants and trees. Seating islands offer the possibility to linger and enjoy the welcoming, hybrid space. Sixteen carefully arranged carpets help cultivate a cozy garden vibe. “As architects and residents of Shanghai, a city of 25 million, we are always very conscious of the fact that the city should have more places where people can get away from the hustle and bustle of city life. Office lobbies and shopping mall atriums if designed well could be a new form of semi-public space. “

The atrium is no longer just a passage but a place, truly a ‘plaza,’ an immersive garden that blurs the line between indoor and outdoor; a beautiful, unexpected sanctuary at the heart of Xintiandi’s buzz.

From the Architect Report:The 4th floor of Hyundai Department Store Pangyo branch has been renewed following The Hyundai Seoul. U-PLEX on the fourth floor is a shopping space for the MZ generation and all customers who enjoy a youthful lifestyle and has been designed as a unique premium space with a sense of YOUNG VIBE.

The design concept is TIME COLLAGE, which means a new space-time area, that is, the third space where different elements of the past and present coexist and provides a new trend created by a combination of space and completely different things that customers have never experienced before. It is a space that provides a new luxury mood and a fun and fresh experience that inspires MZ consumers. The space consists of a main building, a mall, and an iconic square that connects the two spaces.

As if the past and the future were mixed, the main building mixes classic and modern elements to form a new virtual space. Pendant lighting is added under the existing ceiling to form a mood of the entire space, and facades and pillars create a new luxury mood that is not heavy through details that combine modern mirror materials based on classic designs and materials.

In addition, by creating a unique island system for each area, we tried to make the entire space look like a multi-brands store. The island wall frame of the main building combines aluminum profiles, and each fitting room is finished with frost glass to give a modern design unity, allowing brands to create a unique look within the profile frame.

The mall has a more futuristic mood, and the impactful design of the ceiling and vertical design elements were created using modern materials to create a space. Regular patterns were created by combining lighting ceiling with metal frames, and an island system was combined with ceiling to create an identity of the entire space. Through the cross-shaped vertical bar connected to the grid on the ceiling, unity is created in the entire space, allowing individual brand exposure.

Iconic square is a space that connects the main building and mall to make a new experience space where customers can stay, in addition to its role as a PASSAGE. We created an impactful PASSAGE by reinterpreting the feeling of the lobby lounge of the past hotel and building. Big slab tiles with hued marble pattern were applied in different types depending on the side showing them, and a classic mood was created through the overall material and ceiling pattern. The marble pattern was extended to the circulation to make it feel like a new space, and the regular wall also created a boundary between the circulation and the store while blurring it, becoming a space where customers could freely enjoy. By giving the space a strong identity, we tried to suggest a space where any brand can look different with a mixed-match feeling.
