About Shanghai West Bund AI Tower & Plaza
Shanghai West Bund AI Tower & Plaza is Located on the west bank of the north-south Huangpu River in Shanghai, the development consists of four buildings, including two-story buildings. In 2009, Nikken Sekkei was selected to design an international competition for a new city construction area in front of the East Longhua Airport. With a decade of experience in local urban architectural design, the firm embarked on a project distinguished by its distinctive “air design” style, which is reflected in layout, building design, public spaces, landscaping, and interior design. A comprehensive concept of simplicity driven by aerodynamic elements is seamlessly integrated throughout the development. © Eiichi Kano
