An ensemble of historic buildings now known as the Rockbund Project reflects the diversity of Shanghai’s colonial architecture. By restoring the existing buildings and planning new structures, a team of international architects is helping to revitalize the area, which is to include office complexes, hotels, retail buildings and apartments. David Chipperfield Architects has been commissioned with the restoration and conversion of 11 buildings.
