The Springs

Henning Larsen?s design for Tishman Speyer?s The Springs started construction on July 12th, 2018.
Henning Larsen?s project The Springs evokes the dramatic mountain landscapes found throughout rural China, mirroring the mountain landscape with tall, terraced towers shel-tering a green public square. The massing of the buildings creates a sheltered microclimate within this plaza, with building positioning and vegetation working to improve air quality, reduce noise pollution and bring natural light into the space. Designed in collaboration with landscape architects SLA, this central commons encourages natural pedestrian flow from all surrounding areas, inviting the surrounding community into an active shared space charac-terized by green gardens and public art.
The buildings? lush terraces and balconies invoke the Chinese mountain scenery of traditional shan shui landscape paintings.
?We wanted to create a protected environment in this city center that contributes to the potential for this development to become a new focus that generates and attracts public life in uptown Shanghai,? explains Claude Bøjer Godefroy, Design Director and Partner at Hen-ning Larsen.
