Hongqiao soho
ocated within the great hongqiao business zone close to the main transportation, airport and city center, the retail and business complex is the second building designed by hadid for the largest property developers in shanghai, china.
conceived as a meandering ribbon-like form, the design aims to bind the facility together with the surrounding community.
pinched in its appearance, the smooth and complex structure creates a series of dynamic spaces that seem to reflect the vibration and energy of the city. iconic and bold, the mixed-use ‘park’ stands out from the retail context of its neighboring plots, possessing a highly visible identity that when complete, will become a destination in its own right.
