Bund Center, Postmodern skyscraper in Huangpu District, Shanghai, China.
Bund Center is a postmodern skyscraper in Shanghai located on the Huangpu riverfront. The building features a glass and steel exterior with a distinctive peaked crown that rises above the main structure.
The building opened in 2002 when architect John C. Portman Jr. completed the design for this financial district project. It marked a shift in how Shanghai's riverfront was developed for contemporary commerce.
The building represents the transformation of Shanghai's waterfront area from colonial architecture to contemporary financial structures along the Huangpu River.
The building houses offices and meeting spaces with direct underground links to Shanghai Metro. Visitors can access it easily from the Huangpu riverfront on foot.
The glass crown at the top is shaped to resemble a crystalline formation visible from across the Shanghai riverfront. This distinctive feature makes the building stand out against the skyline when viewed from different angles.
