JINGANLI

Within the order of the red clay brick walls and semi-circular arches, the rational aesthetics of the Shikumen architecture emerges.

During the Republic of China era, Bazilu Road was once bustling and prosperous. Today, Wujin Road, along with a series of historical buildings such as the former residence of Tang Shaoyi, Taishan Grand Theatre, Delong Cigarette Factory, Tongleli, Yihongyuan, and Royal Hotel, has witnessed the changes in Shanghai's political, commercial, economic, and cultural landscapes. The Jing'anli project, starting with the Tang Residence, aims to protect and renovate historical buildings, restore the texture of the old neighborhood, and integrate newly - built modern courtyards. It intends to create a historical - style villa complex larger than Zhangyuan, hoping to become a "cultural reception hall" along the Suzhou Creek.

01 The Narrative of the Façade: Outdoor Signs in Dialogue with Architecture

The red terracotta brick walls are old and mottled, the arched doorways have a unique charm, and the three - dimensional brick carvings are extremely exquisite... All these elements are intertwined, jointly creating a kind of beauty of order that is calm, restrained, and rational in the balance between Chinese and Western aesthetics. This is precisely the spiritual core of Shanghai Shikumen architecture. The outdoor sign design continues this philosophy: The bronze material not only echoes the warm color of the red brick wall but also shows the traces of the passage of time through oxidation treatment. The outline of the sign forms a visual dialogue with the curve of the arch. The three - dimensional aluminum carving process corresponds to the traditional brick carving technique. When the twilight shrouds the streetsys alle, and the warm yellow light flows out, forming a narrative picture with the mottled wall. These functional guiding systems also become nostalgic symbols carrying collective memories.

02 Inner Rhythm: Interior Signage in Harmony with Space

Interior signage extends this aesthetic further inward, integrating into the private atmosphere of the Shikumen. residences In terms of materials, marble patterns and aged bronze that blend with the indoor environment are selected. In the design of Chinese characters, Song or imitation - Song fonts with slender strokes and a hand - written charm are used. Their elegant scholarly air fits the cultural temperament of Shikumen, which was once the residence of literati. The English fonts are embellished with fancy calligraphy, adding a unique sense of atmosphere. In terms of light treatment, the interior signage also continues the rational spirit of "hiding but not revealing". With the help of the diffuse reflection of ambient light, the information is clearly presented in a quiet atmosphere, continuing the introverted and calm temperament of the overall space.

From the outdoors to the indoors, sign designs do not exist in isolation. Instead, as an extension of architectural language, they are integrated into the material echo, form translation, and light control. Together, they enhance the aesthetic features of the Shikumen space, which combines Chinese and Western elements in a rational and implicit way. They also establish a coherent sense of place between functionality and poetry, allowing historical memories to be gently continued in modern scenarios. Continuously draw on the source of the Shanghai style and create classics through inheritance.
