01 Background of the project

The project base is located in the core area of Zhenru Section, Putuo District, Shanghai, which is an important component of Zhenru City Sub-center. The south side of the base is adjacent to Jiaotong Road and Shanghai West Railway Station, and the north side is Wanli Community.

Shanghai West Railway Station has a long history. In 1905, with the construction of Shanghai-Nanjing Railway, a station was initially set up there. In 1907 (the thirty-third year of Guangxu in Qing Dynasty), the Shanghai-Nanjing Railway was officially opened when it was opened to traffic. The station was originally named Zhenru Station, which was only a two-lane station on the Shanghai-Nanjing Line at that time. In 1946, the station was renamed Zhenru Station. After 1957, Zhenru Station successively built Taipingqiao Freight Yard and Shiquan Road Freight Yard, and together with Shanghai East Railway Station, it became the main freight station of Shanghai Railway Hub. In 1986, the passenger transport facilities of Zhenru Station were completely updated, and the departure, arrival and stop of passenger trains were handled. The station was changed from a single freight station to a passenger and freight station. On January 1, 1989, the station was renamed Shanghai West Railway Station.

The project faces diversified challenges: I. TOD conditions of four-line transfer bring convenient transportation and overall improvement of business management to the project, but it also brings great technical challenges to the project. The completed Line 15 passes through the base from underground, which limits the height of the building above it. The basement of the project will also be divided into two parts by the subway line. The subway also has strict retreat requirements for the layout of super skyscrapers. II. There are historically protected buildings in the base, and more than half of them have been damaged. It is the primary task to repair and protect the buildings. How to reasonably place and utilize the historically protected building in the overall planning has also become an important topic of the project. III. Except for the south side of the base, the east, west and north sides are surrounded by built residential areas. While the residential area brings close-fitting customers to the business, the layout of high-rise buildings in the project is limited due to strict sunshine conditions.

The existence of Shanghai West Railway Station and Railway not only brings intercity people flow to Zhenru area, but also separates surrounding cities in physical space, resulting in inconvenient transportation between north and south and discontinuous urban space, which hinders the integration of Putuo Zhenru Sub-center. The project puts forward the concept of "Suture the City", fully studies the surrounding urban environment and traffic conditions, and then carries out integrated planning and design. Through the above-ground and underground three-dimensional transportation system, we can create an effective series of blocks and promote the re-embrace of the north and south urban spaces of the West Railway Station.

The planning and design realizes the design concept of "MIX·LINK" through the reuse of historically protected buildings, the maximum utilization of existing urban traffic and surrounding environmental resources, and the forward-looking design of Kechuang headquarters and a large commercial center with a construction area of about 120,000㎡, connecting "history, present and future".

The total construction area of the project is about 529,600㎡, including multiple formats such as the headquarters office with a construction area about 127,000㎡, the shopping center with a construction area about 100,000㎡, the garden commercial group with a construction area about 18,000㎡, talent apartment with a construction area about 9,500㎡ and residential building with a construction area about 138,000㎡.

In the planning and design, the residence will be arranged on the northeast side of Block 03 and Block 02 on the east side of the project, close to the surrounding existing residential areas. About 150m office super skyscrapers and about 180m office super skyscrapers are arranged on the south side of Block 01 and Block 02 respectively, and the two towers are basically arranged in parallel with the traffic road, which becomes the city image on the south side of the project.

As a podium of about 180m super skyscraper, the shopping center is arranged on the south side of Block 02, which is close to the underground north-south passage of subway and West Railway Station, which is most beneficial to the arrival of commercial people. The north side of Block 02 combines historically protected buildings to form a characteristic cultural commercial block. There are also multi-storey commercial and government supporting buildings in Block 01. It is a great test for the project planning team to rationally plan such rich functions and form the synergy of complex projects.

The architectural design of the tower takes "City Gateway" as its design intention, and hopes that the project can become the coordinates of Shanghai West Railway Station in the future and even the gateway for Shanghai to meet the world.

For the whole project, many bright spots and places, including celebration square, TOD sinking square, city living room, starry sky garden, historical and cultural square, MIX-GREEN block, HIGH-LINE high line corridor, office super lobby and super skyscraper sky garden, are created.

The super high-rise tower of the project is planned to be the Internet headquarters of the world's top 500 science and technology companies. The tower perfectly embodies the concept of the city gate, and the tangible gate breeds infinite possibilities, trying to integrate Shanghai's urban spirit and Internet corporate culture into it to the maximum extent.

The tower should be the form of double-sided separated core tube, which makes the internal space fully liberated and creates a highly flexible and free open office space. The standard floor office space is spacious, the supporting structure is slender, and the internal space is transparent; The lobby, lecture hall and sky garden are all column-free spaces, which provide the greatest possibility for the flexible transformation of future use functions.

The top of the 180m tower is shaped like a window overlooking Shanghai, and the Hanging Garden has an excellent view, making it an unparalleled place for employees of Kechuang Headquarters for relaxing, rest and communication.

With the help of the special structural form of the tower, the lobby on the first floor, as the traffic core, has realized a completely column-free space, and the facade should be the transparent cable facade as high as 21m, which fully talks with the urban space.

With the unique scheme design of the 180m tower, the building structure should be a "double-core tube mega-hybrid structure", which supports five connecting trusses through the core tubes on both sides, and then connects the floors of different floors by relying on the truss deck or hanging structural columns.

The shopping center should be designed with a four-story design: B1 floor (TOD sinking square connecting subway and national railway), 1 floor (ground image entrance), 2 floors (landscape steps and cross-road corridor), 3 floors (cross-railway municipal bridge), multi-dimensional three-dimensional connection combined with efficient commercial moving lines inside the shopping center to maximize the convergence of people.

In the shopping center, combined with the four-story long-span structure on the south side, an empty city living room is set up, which is a characteristic side court space overlooking the West Railway Station and a window to show the commercial vitality inside the shopping center.

Nowadays, the new retail experiential consumption has become the choice of more and more young consumers. Relying on the advantages of big data and big logistics of the Internet Mall platform, the project brings an immersive shopping experience integrating online and offline, and incarnates the trendy product display center, user experience interactive center and service center under the Internet platform. By combining experience with product display, it creates an interactive consumption space of immersive experience, realizes the close connection among brands, channels and consumers, and creates a digital closed loop of people, goods and fields.

The planning and layout of the open block follows the maximum utilization of the high-value commercial interface, fully considers the TOD connection to introduce people flow, and draws lessons from the scale of Shanghai Shikumen Lane, streets and squares to create a commercial garden block space.

For building facade design, different skin languages corresponding to a variety of internal functional space are used to achieve the perfect unity of form and function.

For about 180m of tower stacking volume, the glass facade that is bright in vertical direction and hiding in horizontal direction should be used, and the facade is clean and unified. The facade on the east and west sides of the tower should be the double-layer unit practice, the inner side should be the unit glass facade, and the outer hanging points are reserved between the layers. The outer aluminum plate box is composed of steel skeleton and folded aluminum plate, which is assembled by factory module and hung and hoisted on site. The facade enriches the expression of the tower facing the city, and combines the lighting design to form a beautiful scenery at night.

The north and south facades of the 150m tower should be the facade with folded glass, and the diamond-shaped pattern echoes the diamond-shaped "Dragon Scale" facade.

The facade design of the shopping center should be the folded champagne gold perforated aluminum plate, which has a distinctive and unique style. Combined with lighting and LED photoelectric glass facade, it shows a high-end, fashionable and gorgeous overall image.

The project is a four-line transfer to TOD (Metro Lines 11, 15 and 20 (under planning) and high-speed rail line), covering a variety of urban functions such as office, commerce, residence and culture, and is an urban complex of TOD5.0 mode.

Based on TOD integrated design, a composite transportation system is constructed, and the building is connected in series with three subways (Line 20 is under planning), China Railway, long-distance passenger station and bus station through underground passage, sunken plaza, ground entrance and exit, air high-speed line bridge and other means to form a "TOD Traffic Ring".

The efficient and interoperable public transportation system improves the experience and efficiency, and also promotes the overall improvement of the commercial office of the project.

The 300m long underground commercial moving line connects the underground space of the whole project in series, and seamlessly connects with Line 11, Line 15, Line 20 (under planning) and the North-South Passage of West Railway Station through three carefully designed TOD sunken plazas. People can walk to shopping malls, offices or go up to the ground to the surrounding communities through the sunny sunken plazas.

Through communication and consultation with relevant departments of subway and China Railway, the project will transform the original ground ancillary facilities and entrances and exits of subway and China Railway in the base, reset the subway cooling tower and wind shaft combined with shopping center, and transform the original ground entrances and exits into sunken plaza, finally forming a celebration square on the ground, which is not only a gathering place for people's leisure activities, but also a container for urban life.
