1st West Bund commercial plaza to open
Print Edition
The first flagship commercial project of the West Bund will open on Thursday to mainly serve employees of high-tech companies, residents and visitors to the popular Huangpu River waterfront.
The AI Plaza will involve nature, art and the latest smart applications developed by leading artificial intelligence firms based in the neighboring Shanghai AI Tower, a key site for the city’s ambition to become a world “AI Highland.”
Covering 75,000 square meters, the eight-story plaza stands amid more than 20 art galleries, exhibition halls, theaters and libraries on the waterfront, which is targeted to become “Asia’s largest art zone.” It is connected with the Metro Line 11’s Yunjing Road Station and the AI Tower.
“The AI Plaza will blend the cultural atmosphere, art vibes and the intelligent gene of the West Bund to become a unique landmark,” said Gan Jin, vice president of West Bund Group, which is in charge of the waterfront’s development.
Digital artist team CATLAB will unveil its original multimedia art installation “magic forest” in the atrium of the mall. The weather of the “forest” will change based on real meteorological conditions.
China’s first NeoBio Museum and an experience hall based on “The Three-Body Problem,” a novel by celebrated Chinese sci-fi author Liu Cixin, will open at the new mall. A flash mob event NBA POP-UP will also be held there for the 75th anniversary of the US National Basketball Association.
The plaza will mainly serve the 300,000 employees and scientists working in the area, some 900,000 residents living in the riverside communities.
