The Super Tube
Taking inspiration from a yellow municipal gas pipe that remained on-site, the design combined “pipes” and “colors” as the inspiration. The former represents the industrial history along the Suzhou River and even in modern Shanghai. At the same time, the latter is the best choice to change the shady and gloomy atmosphere of the space under the bridge.

Shanghai Super Tube is a public underpass space that we specially transformed under a bridge of the Suzhou River. Since its opening in January 2024, it has become a must-visit place for young people. The project is located at the intersection of two main roads and underneath a main traffic bridge. It is the gateway to the three major administrative districts of Changning, Jing’an, and Putuo in Shanghai.
