Red Wall
Shanghai, China
Photography by Shen Qiang and Daniele Mattioli
If you digit +31° 16’ 9.45”, +121°27’ 14.93” on Google Maps, a zenith scale view will appear of a rectangular building, characterized by a central patio with pedestrian bridges crossing it and a long flamboyant red wall which acts as a barrier to separate the internal areas from the noise of the elevated road which runs opposite.
The project designer, Francesco Gatti recounts:
When we designed the building, we made the red façade turn towards the roof, as we were amused by the idea that the main web-mapping sites would possibly recognize it
It is a choice of visibility that transcends the dimensions of the neighborhood and which might seem megalomaniac at first sight - a signature visible from Space -. In reality this red wall, eye-catching and with its exaggerated dimensions, is representative of the whole idea of the building, the tip of the iceberg of a complex and difficult project that tell us much about the actual state of architecture in China.
