The Bund Finance Center in Shanghai, designed by Foster + Partners and Heatherwick Studio, opened in 2017 on the historic Bund waterfront. The 420,000 m² mixed-use complex features eight buildings including two 180-meter twin towers that mark the southern end of the Bund.Its architecture harmonizes with the 19th-century colonial structures through hand-carved granite facades and bronze details. The centerpiece is a cultural centre inspired by traditional Chinese theatre, wrapped in 675 movable metal panels resembling a dynamic curtain, symbolizing a cultural bridge between old and new Shanghai
