Shanghai Library East Project Tour
(Live in Shanghai)
Join the American Institute of Architects Shanghai Chapter for an exciting tour of the Shanghai Library East next Sunday, 18th September 2022. Located in Pudong District and sits adjacent to Century Park - the largest park in the city.
The library was designed by Danish practice Schmidt Hammer Lassen and won following a two-stage international competition. According to the practice, the project is conceived as a singular monolithic object floating above the tree canopy within the park. The main library volume floats above two pavilions that will house a 1200 seat performance venue, exhibition and events space and a dedicated children’s library, that will all open up towards a series of landscaped courtyards and gardens. The library will provide 110,000 square meters of space for the local community.
We are honored to invite the architects, structural engineers, and public art producers to share with us the innovative concepts behind the design, the complex structure, and the creative arts for the library.
We look forward to seeing you there!
