Shanghai City Hall

The Great Encirclement of the Century of Light

Project Location | Shanghai Bund
Construction Time | 2024

The soul of the Bund, Hengxin Shanghai, this stone house that has been waiting for more than 100 years has ushered in a century long encirclement. Through the “Golden Ribbon” Bund historical building complex embedded in the night of the Huangpu River, deep into the second facade of the Bund, the spiritual soul hidden in the Bund night is gradually brewing in this square. The more restrained and classic warm light blends seamlessly with the architecture, and the fusion and transition of light blends the new and old physical aspects of the day that surround this century into one at night.

After 10 years of restoration, the old city government building has regained its glory. The Ministry of Works building will undergo renovation and reconstruction, and the newly built office building will enclose the entire block according to historical design intentions, forming a courtyard space open to the public. This renovation is hosted by legendary designer and 2023 Pritzker Prize winner David Chipperfield. He protected the appearance of the original historical building with the concept of minimal intervention and recognizability, and completed the renovation of the old city government building. This building, which has witnessed a hundred years of history and was once known as the “first enclosed building in the Far East”, has finally welcomed the “Century Encirclement”. The TS team, as the flood lighting team for this project, joined hands with DCA to compose the past and present of the old city government building through the focus and guidance of light, allowing this cultural relic building to regain its memory and shine in the new era.

上海外滩老市府

光之世纪大围合

项目地点|上海外滩
建设时间|2024年

外滩之魂,恒新上海,这座等了100多年的石头房子迎来了世纪大围合,透过嵌入在黄浦江夜色里的”金丝带”外滩历史建筑群,纵深到外滩第二立面,外滩夜色里隐藏的精神灵魂就在这个广场里逐渐酝酿。更加内敛与经典温润的光与建筑融为一体,融合与过渡的光更是把这个世纪大围合的新与旧的白天物理层面的交织在夜晚融合成一。

经过10年修复,老市府大楼重现芳华。工部局大楼将经过修缮和改造,新建的办公建筑将根据历史设计意图围合整个街区,形成面向公众开放的庭院空间。这次的改建,由传奇设计师、2023年普利兹克奖得主戴维·奇普菲尔德主持。他以最小干预和可识别性的修缮理念,保护了原有历史建筑的风貌,完成了老市府大楼的修缮改造。这座见证了百年历史、曾被誉为“远东第一围合建筑”的大楼,终于迎来了“世纪大围合”。TS团队作为本次的泛光照明团队,携手DCA,透过光的聚焦和引导谱写老市府大楼的前世今生,让这座文物建筑在新的时代寻回记忆,焕发荣光。
