Project: Xuhui West Coast Port Ferry Tourist Distribution Center
Design: Archi-Union
Address: №1900, Longwu Road, Xuhui, Shanghai
Photographer: Wong Ke

The West Bund new Tourist Distribution Center is at №1900 Longwu Road, which integrates functions like port ferry and tourist services. The building superimposes the riverside trail and the ferry passage and much more. The ferry passengers reach the ferry through the first floor, and the riverside tourists go directly to the second-story landscape platform through the riverside trail. The three-dimensional solution solves the convenience of ferry traffic and the crossover of tourists along the river. It is a riverside trail. Provide a three-dimensional scene.

The overall shape of the building is curved, and it looks like an alien spacecraft anchored by the Huangpu River from a distance. The designer combines the traditional courtyard space with the fluid ferry passage to form a spatial form that integrates landscape, publicity, and functionality.
