上辑 PART I
下辑 PART II
Long-time city dwellers are constrained to their own habits and are already separated from nature in the majority of cases, but a silent longing for a life of "singing to the pine wind, singing to the stars" persists in their hearts. "Architecture is a window to the world," as noted by Columbia University architecture department director Karen Fairbanks. It serves as a window into the outside world, allowing visitors to reconnect with the natural environment and its inhabitants.
In the heart of Shanghai, HAI 550 was developed with this in mind. This eight-story structure resembles a large, lush tree that spontaneously splits into the imagination of the natural world. It depicts the tale of the elements of life that are connected to nature, from clothes to housing, from three meals a day to art design. It explores the area where nature and the city converge, initiating an urban idealism experiment.
