Studio Shanghai 伍德佳帕塔设计咨询

Based in Shanghai, Studio Shanghai contrasts traditional scroll-pediment gables and courtyard layouts with modern stepped podiums, perforated brick screens, and louvered towers across public commercial plazas. This work provides a strong reference when negotiating massing transitions between historic canal-side typologies and contemporary retail developments, or when specifying perforated masonry screens that illuminate public squares at dusk.

Elevated night view of a crowded public plaza with performers and surrounding retail pavilions designed by Studio Shanghai for Disneytown.

What we like about this project
Long-exposure motion blur of walking pedestrians contrasts sharply with the static gathering crowd around the performers.
