Shanghai Jiuguang Center is a brand new retail destination, which sits in the middle of a bustling Shanghai neighborhood, and reflects a symbiotic relationship between commercial aspirations and architectural interventions. With the aim to stimulate regional vitality and the goal of creating curated Shopping experiences for different users, Nihon Sekkei and UNStudio designed a building that strikes a balance between architectural and interior design, building scale and human scale, geometry and materials and inside-outside relationship, and created a placemaking location for all.
