1000 Trees项目位于一个距上海市中心20分钟车程的住宅区中。这是一片综合开发区域，总面积高达30万平方米。

Located in a residential area 20 minutes from central Shanghai, 1000 Trees is a mixed use development spanning 300,000 square metres.

项目基地面积超过6万平米，与M50艺术区和一座公共公园相邻。开发用地被分为两部分，中间通过一片狭窄的政府地块相连，其中包含数栋历史保护建筑。

The 15 acre site is located next to the M50 arts district and a public park. The development is split over two plots of land connected by a narrow government plot and incorporates several historic buildings.

开发商Tian An China委托Heatherwick Studio设计了1000 Trees。它不仅是一栋建筑，也塑造了一片地形，如同两座大山，由数百根立柱组成，上方覆满树木。

Designed by Heatherwick Studio for the developer Tian An China, 1000 Trees is conceived not only as a building but as a piece of topography and takes the form of two tree-covered mountains, populated by hundreds of columns.

比起将提供结构支撑的立柱隐藏起来，设计师让柱子出现在建筑顶部，作为巨大的种植池，每根上方都种有几棵树木。

Rather than hiding the columns which provide structural support, the columns emerge at the top of the building as large planters, each holding a handful of trees.

基地上原本获批建造两栋传统的购物中心，设计需要将这座巨大的盒子建筑打散成小块，以呼应周边的环境。

Existing planning permission for two conventional shopping mall blocks had been granted for the site, but a huge, boxy building would need to be broken into smaller pieces in order to fit in with the surroundings.

整合在结构中的花坛成为了平衡项目的自然元素，建筑边缘被降低，使得项目对艺术区和公园的影响最小化，减少区域之间的明显分隔。

The integrated planting acts as a natural balancing element and the building’s edges are lowered to minimise the impact where it meets the art district and park, reducing the discernible threshold between them.
