Steven Holl designed the Shanghai Cofco Cultural and Health Center in 2016. The 2 buildings house many different amenities between them. The Health Center houses an educational area, pharmacy, multiple consultation rooms, exam rooms, a physical therapy room, ultrasound and x-ray rooms, a nursery, and admin/doctors’ lounges. The Cultural Center has an exhibition area, table game area, café, library, gym, and community and youth activity area. The Cultural Center is 6030 sm and the health center is 1490 sm with the whole site covering 7520 sm.

            The buildings were designed as a “social condenser” to foster a sense of community in the surrounding housing blocks. The landscape and the buildings were designed with the concept of “clocks and clouds” which can be seen in the large organized clock-like circles covering the whole site. The buildings encompass the aspect of clouds with their openness and porous design. The Cultural Center hovers over a cage and the game/recreation rooms on a transparent glass base. They also both include green, sedum roofs to make them merge into the landscape when looked upon from the surrounding apartment buildings.
