Shanghai IFC, Postmodern twin towers in Pudong, China
The Shanghai International Finance Centre consists of two 260-meter-high towers with 56 floors above ground and 4 basement levels in Shanghai's financial district.
Architect César Pelli designed these commercial towers, which opened in 2009 and marked a significant addition to Shanghai's developing Lujiazui financial district.
The Shanghai IFC towers incorporate glass facades and contemporary design elements that represent the transformation of Pudong from farmland into a global financial center.
The complex includes 37 elevators for vertical transportation and connects directly to multiple subway lines, facilitating access for thousands of daily visitors.
The towers' structural design allows natural light to penetrate deeply into each floor while providing panoramic views of the Huangpu River and Shanghai's skyline.
