Lane189 in Shanghai

Lane189 designed by UNStudio, located in the Putuo district in central Shanghai - opposite Chang Shou Park and close to the Jade Buddha Temple - is designed to provide a lifestyle destination for Shanghai’s young professionals. Lane189 combines retail, restaurant and office spaces in an organisation that rearranges the typical mall into a vertical city centre and provides  opportunities for shopping, strolling, eating, gathering and relaxing.The design incorporates elements of ‘old Shanghai’ through geometry, pattern and materialisation and combines these with a contemporary urban experience, thereby creating a destination with a distinctly Shanghai feel.

The Architecture of Some of the World’s Oldest Continuously Inhabited Cities

What’s so great about the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world? Probably the fact that their societies have been evolving in one unbroken series of eras, with ever-changing values and styles that have, among other things, given rise to architectural memories of their long histories. These cities aren’t like the archeological sites we visit to see how people lived thousands of years ago; they are the exact places people lived thousands of years ago, places where people are still living today, with their rich histories buried under layers of paint and concrete instead of earth.

Identified from the top:

• Athens, Greece (inhabited since 5000 BC) 
• Bagan, Myanmar (inhabited since 849 AD) 
• Acoma Pueblo, New Mexico USA (inhabited since 1200 AD)
• Poznań, Poland (inhabited since c.900 AD)
• Kyoto, Japan (inhabited since 794 AD) 
• Tiruvannamalai, India (inhabited since c.800 AD) 
• Constantine, Algeria (inhabited since 600 BC) 
• Flores, Guatemala (inhabited since c.900 BC) 
• Suzhou, China (inhabited since 514 BC) 
• Cádiz, Spain (inhabited since 1100 BC)
