Lupu Bridge/Pearl Tower


The World Financial Center, Jin Mao, and the beginning of the Shanghai Tower. It's weird to think that I have spent many nights hanging out on the top of the World Financial Center.

Bund Tour

Shanghai

All of the Bund is sinking because of the foundation which it was built on, in particular, the building in the middle was sinking so much that the top portion of the building was added with extra weight on the right side to even it out. The logic was all there, but it did not work quite as planned.

The steps are not original, they have been added due to the sinking

Shanghai Urban Planning Museum

Urban Planner Simulator-- My future
Jeff's favorite building
Incredible detail
Cool display

This model took up the entire floor of the Shanghai Urban Planning Museum, a nightmare/incredible feat in the eyes of an architecture student. The model lit up and the display went through a day and night cycle.
