    CONCEPT
    Inspired by traditional Chinese theatres, the three-storey
    building features a curtain-like facade of bronze tubes.
    These tubes hang in three layers, creating semi-
    transparent screens in front of windows and balconies.

    The Fosun Foundation is the centrepiece of the Bund Finance Center, a new mixed-use
    complex designed by Norman Foster's architecture firm and Thomas Heatherwick's
    design studio for the end of famous Shanghai street The Bund.
    The 190,000-square-metre development is still under construction, but these new
    images by photographer Laurian Ghinitoiu show that the new cultural centre is now
    complete.
    This is the first major collaboration between Foster + Partners and Heatherwick Studio,
    which ranked at numbers 13 and 23 on the inaugural Dezeen HoT List respectively.
    But both firms will by now be used to teaming up with other big-name architects and
    designers. Heatherwick Studio is working with Danish firm BIG on the Google HQs
    in California and London, while Foster + Partners has paired up with Mexican
    architect Fernando Romero to design the new Mexico City airport.
    Inspired by this urban context, two 180-metre landmark towers are placed in the south of the site,
    while the buildings facing the waterfront are staggered in height and relate in scale and rhythm to
    the grand nineteenth-century landmarks along the Bund. At the heart of the scheme is a flexible arts
    and cultural centre, home to the Fosun Foundation, which combines exhibition and events halls
    with a performance venue, inspired by the open stages of traditional Chinese theatres.

    Gerard Evenden, Head of Studio and Senior Executive Partner, Foster + Partners
    commented: “The Bund Finance Centre creates a pivotal connection between the old
    town and the new financial district. Developing the massing strategy for the
    buildings was an interesting challenge, in terms of relating to the context of old and
    new architecture, reflecting the scale of the waterfront and the character of the
    historic quarters.”
