西岸X——区域视觉形象国际征集
West Bund X — Call for VI Design
上海西岸，蜿蜒浦江西南域11公里岸线，曾经历史上的工业重地，今天新起的文化走廊，未来繁华的中央活动区核心承载段，上海的文化核心区。
以世博为契机，向着“全球城市卓越水岸”目标发展的上海西岸，正以“规划引领、文化先导、生态优先、创新主导”为原则，打造“望得见江、触得到绿、品得到历史、享得到文化”的高品质滨水开放共享空间，亚洲规模最大、集聚度最高的文化场馆群落，以及汇聚文创、科创、创新金融等新兴产业的活力产业生态圈。
城市更新的步伐永远不停歇，而每个卓越城市的生长历程都是一次在未知中探索与创新的旅程，本次国际方案征集定名为“西岸X“，也正基于“x”所代表的不确定性和无限可能，期待着设计师们以突破无穷未知的巨大创造力，勾勒西岸未来的无限可能。
一、西岸简介
上海西岸是以徐汇滨江地区为载体打造的城区品牌，北起日晖港，南至关港，东临黄浦江，西至宛平南路-龙华港-龙吴路，面积约达9.4平方公里，岸线长约11.4公里，是上海2040城市总体规划确定的中央活动区核心承载段，是目前上海黄浦江两岸可成片开发面积最大的区域，开发总量约达900万平方米。在《上海城市总体规划（2016-2040）》提出“迈向卓越的全球城市”的总体目标，创造更具活力的创新之城、更富魅力的人文之城、更可持续发展的生态之城三大愿景背景下，上海西岸是上海2040确定的中央活动区。
这里曾是中国近代民族工业的摇篮之一，集聚了远东最大的机场（龙华机场，1917年）、中国第一个水陆联运码头（北票码头，1929年）、中国第一个湿法水泥厂（上海水泥厂，1920年）、上海第一个货运车站（铁路南浦站，1907年）等，是当时上海最主要的交通运输、物流仓储和生产加工基地。随着上海城市布局调整和传统产业转移，这条繁忙而封闭的岸线逐渐在城市发展中失去了活力，成了“铁锈地带”。
2010年以上海世博会为契机，徐汇滨江明确了“规划引领、文化先导、生态优先、科创主导”的开发理念，以龙腾大道为核心打造一条最“透气”的浦江岸线，让全体公众都能享受滨水地区，并由滨水岸线向腹地延伸拓展，从北向南依次建设活力示范区、文化核心区、自然体验区和生态休闲区，通过开放宜人的沿江空间、便捷完善的交通系统、工业文明的城市记忆等将西岸塑造成最开放、最便捷、最绿色、最具魅力的公共活动空间。
2011年末徐汇区第九次党代会提出打造“西岸文化走廊”品牌工程战略， 经过一轮的发展建设，西岸的“美术馆大道”初具规模：成功吸引了东方梦工厂、龙美术馆、余德耀美术馆、上海摄影艺术中心、香格纳画廊、苏富比等众多知名文化艺术机构的入驻，同时，在西岸音乐节、西岸建筑与当代艺术双年展、西岸艺术与设计博览会、西岸食尚节、全球水岸对话等品牌活动的引领下，西岸正在成为沪上高品质文化、商业和体育活动的聚集区。预计到2020年，西岸将聚集约20座单体体量超过2000平方米的文化设施，成为全球文化设施集聚度最高的地区之一。
此外，上海西岸正在以“西岸创造”为核心概念，聚焦艺术、设计、时尚、信息、娱乐、传媒等重点领域，构建文化创意、科技创新、创新金融三者互为支撑、全新的复合型产业架构。西岸集聚了领英（LinkedIn）、腾讯、湘芒果、游族等一批行业龙头企业，还设立和引进上海文化产业双创母基金、华人文化投资基金、东方明珠文化投资基金等创新金融平台，进一步集聚高端人才和资本，共同打造信息科技、生命健康和文化娱乐等功能齐集的城市综合体和高端商务。
2016年8月，上海市委、市政府提出“至2017年底实现杨浦大桥至徐浦大桥45公里沿江公共空间贯通”的要求，黄浦江两岸贯通工程徐汇段全面启动，目标至2017年底，实现日晖港桥至徐浦大桥沿江道路和开放空间的全面建成。建设水、绿、人、文、城相融合的国际魅力滨水区。围绕“突出沿江空间及岸线的连续性和系统性，促进工业遗存的有机更新，驱动水陆联动功能开发，凸显文化引领和融合”的开发思路，贯通工程徐汇段自北向南分为活力示范区、文化核心区、自然体验区和生态休闲区四大主题空间，至2017年底将建成包括8.4公里景观大道和80公顷公共开放空间的高品质滨水开放共享区段，实现 “把黄浦江两岸建设成为服务于市民健身休闲、观光旅游的公共空间和生活岸线”的惠民宏愿。
与此时同，上海西岸启动“西岸计划”，希望以上海西岸为平台，通过东西文化的交流和合作，重在挖掘、发现、提升中国文化和海派文化的价值，推动中国文化、海派文化走向世界，让西岸成为代表上海国际文化大都市水准的新地标。
未来，随着文化先导、生态优先和科技创新战略的深入实施，随着黄浦江岸线贯通带来的全新空间机会，上海西岸将成为创新创意创业活跃、生产生活生态融合的世界级滨水新城，成为迈向全球城市的卓越水岸。

West Bund X, Call for VI Design
Submissions Guide
Shanghai West Bund, with its shoreline reaching a length of 11.4 km along southwest Huangpu River, was once an important industrial area in history, while is now a rising cultural corridor, and is on its way to become the main cultural district and the core area of the city’s Central Activity Zone.
Take Shanghai Expo 2010 as an opportunity, West Bund is aiming to become “the extraordinary waterfront area of the global city”. Based on the principal of “planning led, culture guided, ecology preceded, creativity oriented”, West Bund is to be built as a quality communal waterfront open area, in which the public can experience the water, greenery, history and culture; it is also to be developed as the biggest culture cluster in Asia and a dynamic industrial ecosystem that combines emerging industries such as cultural creativity, science and technological innovation, as well as financial innovation.
City renovation would never stop its pace, and it is always a journey of exploration and creation for every excellent city to develop. To name the VI Design Contest as “West Bund X” is to emphasize the uncertainty and possibilities that the “X” represents, and it is our hope for you as designers to make a breakthrough and create infinite possibilities for West Bund’s future.
1. About West bund
Shanghai West Bund is the urban brand renovated along Xuhui Riverside. Stretching from Ri Hui Port in the north to Guan Port in the south, and from Huang Pu River in the east to South Wanping Road – Long Hua Port – Long Wu Road in the west, it covers an area of 9.4 km2 and a shoreline length of 11.4 km; it is also the biggest area to be developed along Huangpu River, reaching a development area of nine million square meters. West Bund is the Central Activity Zone raised in Shanghai 2016-2040 Master Plan, which sets the overall objective as “striving for the excellent global city” and aims to create a dynamic city of innovation, a charming city of humanity and a sustainable city of ecology.
Xuhui Riverside was once a cradle of modern national industries and the city’s main transportation, logistics storage and manufacturing base, gathering the biggest airport in Far East (Longhua Airport, 1917), China’s first land-and-water coordinated transportation dock (Beipiao Coal Dock, 1929), China’s first wet cement plant (Shanghai Cement Plant, 1920), Shanghai’s first freight station (Nanpu Railway Station, 1907) and so on. Due to the development of urbanization and shift of traditional industry, this busy but enclosed shoreline gradually lost its energy in city development and became a “Rust Belt”.
Take Shanghai Expo 2010 as an opportunity, West Bund affirmed the principal of “planning led, culture guided, ecology preceded, creativity oriented” and started to build an open shoreline with Long Teng Avenue as the core area for the community to enjoy the waterfront zone. The development also extends its footprints to the central region, with Dynamic Pilot Zone, Cultural Core Zone, Natural Experience Zone and Ecological Recreation Zone laying in sequence from the north to the south. With open and pleasant riverside space, convenient and perfect transportation system, urban memory of industrial civilization, West Bund is to be built as the most communal, convenient, green and charming public activity space.
In the late 2011, the Ninth Party Congress of Xuhui District proposed the “West Bund Cultural Corridor” project, and began to take shape the “Museum Mile”, which has attracted Oriental DreamWorks, Long Museum, Yuz Museum, Shanghai Center of Photography, ShanghART Gallery, Sotheby among many other renowned institutions to make their homes here. Meanwhile with events like West Bund Music Festival, West Bund Architecture and Contemporary Art Biennale, West Bund Art and Design Fair, West Bund Food Festival, and Waterfront Global Talk, West Bund is becoming the city’s gathering place for quality cultural, financial and sports activities. In 2020, West Bund is expected to have about 20 cultural facilities with each exceeds 2000 m2, and become one of the largest cultural clusters in the world.
In addition, based on the core concept of “Created in West Bund”, Shanghai West Bund focuses on art, design, fashion, information, entertainment, media among other important areas, and is building a brand-new composite industrial structure of cultural creativity, technological innovation and financial innovation. It has gathered LinkedIn, Tencent, Hunan TV, Youzu.com and other leading companies, it also has established and introduced innovative financial platforms such as Shanghai Culture Industry Fund of Funds, China Media Capital, Oriental Pearl Culture Investment Fund, in order to gather high-end talent and capital, and to create urban complex and high-end business that involve information, technology, health, culture and entertainment.
In August 2016, Shanghai Municipal Government made the request to “connect the 45km riverside space between Yangpu Bridge and Xupu Bridge by the end of 2017”. This started the project in Xuhui Riverside area, and by the end of 2017, the riverside roads and public areas between Ri Hui Gang Port and Xupu Bridge will be completed to create a charming international waterfront area that syncretized with the water, greenery, people, culture and urban space. Based on the idea of “highlighting the continuity and system of the riverside area and shoreline, encouraging the organic renovation of industrial remains, prompting the development of land-and-water coordinated function, manifesting culture-leading integration”, Xuhui Riverside project is divided into Dynamic Pilot Zone, Cultural Core Zone, Natural Experience Zone and Ecological Recreation Zone laying in sequence from the north to the south. By the end of 2017, an 8.4km landscape avenue and 80-hectare public space will be completed to realize the vision that “making Huangpu riverside a communal space and living shoreline for fitness, leisure and travel”.
With the start of “West Bund Project”, through the communication and collaboration between eastern and western culture, West Bund is intended to provide a platform to discover, enhance and promote Chinese and Shanghai culture to the world, and to make West Bund as the new landmark for Shanghai as an international cultural metropolis.
In the future, along with the realization of “culture guided, ecology preceded, creativity oriented” strategy and the new opportunities provided by the connection of Huangpu riverside, Shanghai West Bund will become a new world-class waterfront city that combines innovation, creativity and entrepreneurship, as well as manufacture, life and ecology, therefore become the excellent waterfront area of the global city.
