上海K11购物艺术中心

Shanghai K11 Art Mall stands at 300 Middle Huaihai Road in Huangpu District, in the Huaihai Road–Xintiandi retail district, and was an early mainland complex to make 'retail plus art' a permanent operating model. Developed by New World Development, it opened on 28 June 2013. The mall occupies three basement and six above-ground levels, with roughly 40,000 square metres of retail space, and sits beneath the 278.3-metre, 59-storey Hong Kong New World Tower, completed between 1998 and 2004 to a design by B+H Architects; the tower's total floor area is 136,833 square metres. K11's artistic core is the chi K11 art museum on basement level three, about 3,000 square metres, supplemented by contemporary installations and art-village display areas scattered through the shopping floors, so that exhibitions, retail and dining form a single route. Its 2014 Monet exhibition had drawn more than 260,000 visitors by mid-May, with organisers projecting 400,000 by the close, and became a reference case for staging major art shows inside commercial space. The building is a comprehensive reworking of an existing office podium, marked by the golden tower and a streamlined glass canopy, whose interior suits brand pop-ups, launches and installations. Metro Line 1 to the Site of the First CPC Congress·Huangpi South Road station (Exit 2) or Line 13 to Middle Huaihai Road station puts visitors at the door, and dense bus routes serve the surrounding commercial core, which stays busy at weekends and in the evening.
