我为什么把冰山装进上海新天地最高楼顶层

“已经形成了习惯的是，我们总是忘记我们与大自然有着极深的关系”
—《逐冰之旅》

Why I Placed an Iceberg Atop the Tallest Building in Shanghai’s Xintiandi

“We as a culture, we’re forgetting that we have this very, very deep connection and contact with nature.”
— From “Chasing Ice”

Wutopia Lab受邀在太平洋新天地T1塔冠250米的高度设计一个黄浦区地标城市观光厅，并于2025年10月落成开放。

Wutopia Lab was invited to design an urban observatory, a landmark for Huangpu District, at the 250-meter crown of the Pacific Xintiandi T1 Tower, scheduled to open in October 2025.

那么设计任务是什么？
What was the design task?

摩天楼观光厅已经成为现代城市旅游的重要一站。但单纯的登高面临摩天楼城市内卷竞争。所以业主要求发掘摩天楼地标的主题性、话题性和文化属性，希望观光厅从超高层的附庸逐渐变为一个城市景点，成为独立的文旅业态。

Observatories in skyscrapers have become a must-visit destination for modern urban tourism. However, merely ascending to great heights faces cannot provide the experience that stand out from similar skyscrapers. Therefore, the client required to explore the thematicity, topicality, and culture attributes of the skyscraper landmark. They hope the observatory would evolve from being an appendage of a super high-rise into an urban attraction and an independent cultural tourism.

在新天地T1塔顶，可360度看到上海市中心所有年代的建筑，从一大会址到陆家嘴金融中心，从外滩到跨江3桥，从人民广场到虹桥，尽收眼底。作为上海核心地段的黄浦区的核心超高层就这样很自然承担了黄浦的城市宣言，它不仅拥有上海最重要的历史和当代，更要表达出未来的战略。

From the top of the Xintiandi T1 Tower, one can enjoy a 360-degree view of buildings from all eras in downtown Shanghai—from the Site of the First National Congress of the CPC to the Lujiazui Financial Center, from the Bund to the three bridges spanning the Huangpu River, from People’s Square to Hongqiao—all captured in a single panoramic glance. As a core super high-rise in Huangpu District, which located in Shanghai’s central area, Xintiandi T1 naturally shoulders the responsibility of being an urban manifesto of Huangpu. It must not only embrace Shanghai’s most significant history and present, but also articulate a vision for the future.

业主结合国家2060双碳目标作为未来的主题，把黄浦乃至上海的昨天、今天、明天组织在观光厅的流线中，要求加以充分表现而变成一个具有吸引力和象征性的城市文旅景区。

Setting the nation’s 2060 Dual Carbon Goals as the future theme, the client required to weave the past, present, and future of Huangpu and Shanghai into the circulation of the observatory, transforming it into an attractive and symbolic urban cultural-tourism attraction.

让我们造一座上海250米高处的冰山吧
Let’s Build an Iceberg 250 Meters Above Shanghai

场所即感知
Place is Perception

任务书的文字需要转化成空间形式。大陆冰盖冰川学科学家通过观察格陵兰冰盖的变化而注意到气候变暖的趋势，于是冰川成为全球气候变暖的精确指示器。

The text in the brief needed to be translated into spatial form. Scientists who study continental ice sheet glaciology noticed global climate warming by monitoring the Greenland ice sheet over the years. Thus, the glacier became a precise indicator of global warming.

我决定把设计范围的55、56层和屋顶57、58层完整设计成一个抽象过的冰山。以57层屋顶为有浮冰的海面是户外主观光层，57层以上机房到58层直升机救援平台为露在海面上的冰山。55、56层塔顶室内涵盖序厅、观光厅、展览厅、下午茶咖啡厅、大会议室、空中花园和会议室，以及休息厅为海面下的冰山。把功能空间设计成冰山的山洞，用统一提炼过的拱形元素加以连续控制而创造了一种可以感知的熟悉的陌生感，当略微对观众解释，就可以达到恍然大悟的共识。观光厅这类熟悉但没有形式共识的场所就可以被感知和理解。于是，冰山就是这样被放进了上海新天地T1塔冠。

I decided to design the entire site—the 55th floor, 56th floor, 57th floor the rooftop and the 58th floor—as an iceberg in an abstract form. The 57th floor, the main outdoor observation deck, represents the sea surface with floating ice. The mechanical rooms above the 57th floor up to the helicopter rescue platform on the 58th floor stands for the iceberg visible above the sea. The indoor spaces of the 55th floor and 56th floor—including the entrance lobby, observation decks, exhibition halls, café, convention hall, floating garden, meeting rooms, and lounge—constitute the submerged part of the iceberg. The functional spaces are designed as caves within the iceberg, consistently using a refined vocabulary of arched elements to create a familiar strangeness that is perceptible. With slight explanation, visitors can reach a consensus of sudden understanding. This familiar yet the form of which has not been commonly defined type of place—the observatory—thus becomes perceptible and comprehensible.And so, the iceberg was placed into the crown of the Xintiandi T1 Tower.

Form is Function
形式即功能

当塔冠内部成为冰山和山洞的时候，空间就和外立面没有关系了，它和外立面这类居民游客熟视无睹的玻璃幕墙大楼的差异感越强，所产生的戏剧性张力就越大，而游客的情绪价值赋予也就越大。情绪价值也是功能，建筑师以连续白色的拱形把小展厅、小会议室和休息厅等小尺度空间为主的56层完整表达成连续的冰山山洞空间，从而达成塔冠冰山的第一步。这样形式就是功能。

Once the tower crown’s interior becomes an iceberg and caves, the space severs its relationship with the exterior façade. The greater the contrast between the interior and the glass curtain wall that tourists are so familiar that they often overlook, the stronger the dramatic tension created, and the greater the emotional value provided to visitors. Emotional value is also a function. Using continuous white arches, the architect shaped the 56th floor, mainly constitute of small-scale spaces—small exhibition areas, meeting rooms, and lounge —as a space with continuous iceberg caves. This achieved the first step in creating iceberg in the tower crown . In this case, we can say that form is function.

Ornament is Opinion
装饰即观点

55层具有两层通高的观光咖啡厅和大会议室。采用56层的白色拱顶不仅单调，而且更为复杂的音箱、广播、摄像头、消防喷淋、烟感、灯具以及风口也会破坏连续拱顶的纯粹。我突然有了一个大胆的想法，我为什么不用计算机技术把这些大大小小的洞口和设备整合在一个完整的花纹里面呢？由冰联系到雪花，最后以六瓣雪花的造型为基础形成了1100块草叶穿孔纹阳极氧化铝板，把所有设备组织成连续巨大的天花板花纹。

The 55th floor houses a double-height observation café and a convention hall. Repeating the white arched vaults like the 56th floor would be monotonous. Furthermore, the more complex array of equipment—speakers, broadcast systems, cameras, fire sprinklers, smoke detectors, light fixtures, and air vents—would disrupt the purity of the continuous vaults. Suddenly, a bold idea struck me: why not turn all of it into a pattern, using computational technology to integrate these various openings and devices? Inspired by the link between ice and snow, we developed a six-petal snowflake motif, translated into 1,100 grass leaf shaped perforated anodized aluminum panels. Together, they form a continuous, expansive ceiling pattern that incorporates all technical elements.

但这个很不建筑，我有些忐忑。毕竟“装饰是罪恶”仿佛思想钢印打在建筑师脑子里。我观察了太太和身边的女同事，问了她们相似的问题，你们为什么要戴一些首饰，哪怕很简单。最后的回答归结成一句话就是：这些是她们这天的态度。显然，装饰不是罪恶。装饰是一种态度，甚至可以延申到一种观点。

But this felt ‘un-architectural’, and I was apprehensive. “Decoration is evil,” as we’ re taught, is like a steel seal in an architect’s mind. I observed my wife and my female colleagues, and asked why they wear jewelry, however simple. Here’s their answer: it’s an expression of how they feel that day. So, ornament is not a crime. Ornament is an attitude. It can even be a point of view.

▼55F 穿孔铝板，55F perforated aluminum panel © CreatAR Images

我在研究上海Art Deco历史中看到了这种装饰态度。这种把传统纹样融入代表未来的Art Deco的建筑中，恰恰正是上海人的一种审美态度。

Looking back at Shanghai’s Art Deco history, I saw that same attitude—a blend of traditional motifs with forward-looking forms. It was a distinctly Shanghainese aesthetic stance.

▼55F 2060大厅3，55F 2060 Hall-3 © CreatAR Images

就此，我不再有负罪感甚至由此发现了我的新的探索之路，我不需要成为一个纯粹的现代主义建筑师，我本来就不是。我可以成为上海Deco的第一个建筑师。这1100块六瓣雪花就是上海Deco的第一个实践，也是达成塔冠冰山第二步。

That’s when I let go of the guilt and discovered a new path for exploration. I realized I don’ t have to be a modernist purist which I never was. I could become the first architect of Shanghai Deco—and these 1,100 snowflakes are its first manifestation. This was the second step building the iceberg on the tower crown.

Duality is Dynamics
对偶即动态

在55层有一个120平、高度25米且顶部开放的户外空间。对偶帮助我以“冰山”为上句，创造出下句“绿心”，我决定把它设计成一个绿色花园。也是对偶触动我放弃一个类似上海中心复制一个传统园林的思路，而是先解构一个传统园林（致敬黄浦东南第一园-豫园），然后以立体的方式重新组合成一个新的悬浮的空中花园。在25米的高度上，建筑师和景观师设计了不同高度的波纹不锈钢包裹底部的浮岛花园，从55层观光电梯到57层就是穿越一个立体花园。而每一层浮岛花园最后投影在55层这块120平米的模拟水面的黑色水磨石和金属涟漪的地坪上，会有超过100%的绿地。不锈钢月门和3D打印的太湖石（致敬玉玲珑）是这个重构未名的中国园林在视觉上的历史和当代对偶成双。

On the 55th floor, a 120-sqm outdoor space, 25 meters high. Inspired by the idea of duality, we paired the “iceberg” with a “green heart”—a green garden. Duality also put me off recreating a classical Chinese garden like the one we planned for Shanghai Center. Instead, we deconstructed one, drawing inspiration from Yu Garden, and reassembled it as a suspended garden in a vertical way. Across the 25-meter height, the architects and landscape designers customized rippled stainless steel of different heights to wrap the floating island garden. The journey from the 55th floor to the 57th floor by the sightseeing elevator is traversing a vertical garden. Each layer of the floating garden casts a shadow on the 120 sqm floor of the 55th floor, which simulate water with black terrazzo and metal ripples. The floating garden creates more than 100% green coverage. A stainless steel moon gate and 3D-printed Taihu rocks, paying attribute to the Yu Linglong in Yu Garden, visually pair the historical and the contemporary in this reconstructed Chinese garden.

这似乎不是构建塔冠冰山的步骤，但是冰山里面那颗不可或缺的常绿之心。

This may not seem like part of the iceberg—but it is its evergreen soul.

Vision is Vanguard
愿景即远见

在56层和55层上空之间，建筑师结合连续拱形曲线构建了两个巨大的“眼睛”把两者联系起来。在56层的金色之眼可以越过55层咖啡观光厅的环形大屏幕看到欣欣向荣的上海城市。而在另外一个眼睛可以穿过悬浮花园看到新天地太平湖以及一大会址。上海就是在富有远见的眼界里飞速成长的奇迹。这一双慧眼是造山的番外。

Between the 55th floor and 56th floor, the architect created two large ‘eyes’ framed by arched openings to connect the spaces. The ‘Golden Eye’ on 56th floor looks over the circular large screen of the café observation on the 55th floor towards the thriving city of Shanghai. The other eye looks through the suspended garden towards Xintiandi’s Taiping Lake and the Site of the First National CPC. Shanghai is a miracle that grew rapidly within far-sighted vision. This pair of discerning eyes is an extra chapter of building the iceberg.

Material is Mood
材料即情绪

在57层屋顶的水磨石白色“海面”上，联合上海市工艺美术大师施君把屋面设备电梯机房打造成抽象的琉璃冰山。半透明的琉璃在视觉上接近冰块而直接点题冰山。在这个冰山山壁后面，联合欧普照明以LED灯管形成两种表达，一个是整体颜色的变化，冰山可以变成彩山；一个是能创造出一幅隐约的关于长江的画卷。这冰山通过琉璃这种材料的转化而在情绪上回到上海，更是达成塔冠冰山的第三步。

On the white terrazzo ‘sea surface’ of the 57th floor, the rooftop, we collaborated with Mr. Shi Jun, a Shanghai Master of Arts and Crafts to transform elevator equipment rooms into abstract ice forms using translucent glaze—a material that echoes real ice, directly referencing the iceberg theme. Behind these glacial walls, LED lighting by OPPLE offers two modes: one shifts colors, turning the iceberg into a colourful mountain; the other evokes a subtle scene of the Yangtze River. The iceberg uses the material of glaze, emotionally connecting itself to Shanghai. This was the third step building the iceberg.

Architecture is Affect
建筑即情感

沿着57层的楼梯，可以进入冰山拾阶而上到58层，本楼的巅峰。这是一个用光伏发电板制作的，兼顾直升飞机悬停救援的，以及可以作为秀场的蚀刻24节气的巨大日晷。它说明了技术具有可以转化成戏剧性空间表达的能力，是达成塔冠冰山的最后一步。就此我们把冰山顺利地装进了新天地T1楼顶。当你站在日晷中央，微微有风，阳光有点灼热，你会觉得这个时刻，自己和世界融为一体，一切都是值得的。

A staircase from the 57th floor enters the iceberg, leading up to the 58th floor—the summit. Here lies a giant sundial etched with the 24 solar terms, made from photovoltaic panels, serving as a platform for helicopter hover rescue and as a performance stage. It shows how technology can be translated into dramatic spatial experience. This was the final step to complete the iceberg. Thus, we finally built the iceberg atop the Xintiandi T1 Tower. Standing at the center of the sundial, feeling the breeze and the warmth of the sun, you feel connected to the world. Everything falls into place.

尾声：所有过去皆为序曲
Epilogue: What’s Past is Prologue

存在即事件
Existence is Event

所有梦想都需要一个可以执行的计划。新天地观光厅是个冰山，但其实也是一个城市的微型景区，它综合公共观光以及团体用户需求，提供各种文化、商业、娱乐、展览、艺术、会议以及生活场景。它是一个丰富的城市生活目的地，也是一个文化教育目的地，它更能激发我们打破日常成见的勇气。

Every dream needs an executable plan. The Xintiandi Observatory is an iceberg, but it is essentially a micro-attraction within the city—a hybrid of public viewing spaces and group facilities, offering culture, commerce, exhibition, art, conference, and other various lifestyle scenarios. It is a destination for lively urban life and cultural education. It encourages us to see beyond the everyday.

我在最后一次巡场，站在大舞台中央，在雪花的覆盖下面对上海，突然内立面上的LED立柱绽放出华丽的景象和上海城市图景交织成一幅更魔幻现实主义的艺术作品时，一切艰难的工作和思考在最后都表现出一种不可思议的轻松。

During my final walk-through, I was standing at the center of the large stage and beneath the snowflake-patterned ceiling, facing the city of Shanghai, when the LED columns on the interior façade suddenly lighted up. The splendid light reflected on the window intertwined with the night view of Shanghai, creating a scene of magical realism.

Space is Spirit
空间即精神

我自己最喜欢56层的休息厅。连续的拱廊在立面剪出了一道新的城市图景，上海如水晶般在拱门后闪闪发光。我站在黑色但发亮的地坪上会暂时空白，这个空间因为这个空白而具有了一种即时的神圣性。

My personal favorite is the lounge on the 56th floor. The continuous arcades frame a new urban landscape at the façade. Shanghai glimmers like crystal beyond the arches. Standing on the black, reflective floor, my mind goes quiet and empty. This space, because of this emptiness, acquires an instant sacredness.

Shanghai is Sophistication
上海即精致

这是一个温情的冰山，有分寸表达了上海人一种复杂的优雅。首先是实用主义，把塔冠办公变成对公共开放的楼顶经济。其实是理性主义，所有戏剧性都要基于财务平衡。再次是乐观主义，要在有些局促的楼顶展现出足够宽阔的视界。最后是浪漫主义，所有这些严肃的思考和计量，最后以一个不可思议的象征，戏剧性地呈现出来而表达出上海人内心终极地对世界、家乡和人的浪漫。

This is a gentle iceberg. It conveys a nuanced elegance of Shanghai people in a sophisticated way. First, pragmatism: transforming the office space on the tower crown into rooftop economy with public access. Second, rationalism: balancing spectacle with budget. Third, optimism: creating vast views within limited space on the top floor. Finally, romanticism: after all of these serious considerations and calculations, the iceberg was used as a symbol to express the ultimate romanticism towards the world, the hometown and the people of Shanghainese people in an incredible dramatic way.
