The design focus is equally on all the three key elements of the site: the dock itself, as a memory of the industrial nature of the site the museum submarine and the majestic Huangpu River.Ĭoncealing envelope The reflective mirror facade simultaneously amplifies its context and disappears, attracting attention while respecting its environment. The building forms a symbiosis with the submarine and hovers over the maritime dock as a mysterious, intriguing object offering fantastic views in all directions. Beneath this, the restaurant occupies prime position, allowing direct access from the park and pedestrian passages and providing a panoramic view towards the Huangpu River. A monumental staircase links the dock floor to the riverfront green zone.Ī rooftop viewing deck finalises the sculptural yet highly functional museum design. Initially a low, simple structure, the building grows upwards in the second phase as the museum programmes expand. The museum is placed as a bridge on top of the submarine and across the dock pool, allowing for continuous flow across the site while leaving most of the dock intact. The design takes advantage of the historic industrial spaces and repurposes them for new uses while preserving the atmospheric quality of the location. The site for the future museum and the relocated submarine is one of three adjacent maritime docks. The museum will be built in two phases: the first phase (500 m2), scheduled to be completed in the first quarter of 2022, will provide access to the submarine while the second phase, to be completed in 2023, will expand the building by 3,000 m2. PES-Architects’ design seeks to preserve the industrial dock and showcase the museum submarine with a subtle yet distinctive landmark building that honours the heritage of the site. The new museum, administratively part of the China Maritime Museum in Shanghai, will form an integral part of this chain of cultural venues and historic riverfront landscape. The area is currently undergoing a major urban transformation, with 30 km of the west Huangpu riverfront with its old industrial docks and sites being converted into cultural facilities, public parks and recreational sites around a long and uninterrupted green pedestrian passage. 3 Dockyard, the former site of the Jiangnan Shipyard and more recently part of the 2010 Shanghai World Expo site.
