Shanghai is a city full of history, and there are many old buildings here that are more suitable for punching in at weekends. The Bund Hotel, located in Jinjiang, a classic new city in Shanghai, is one of them. The architectural style here is unique and full of history. Let's see some interesting places.

Jiangxi Middle Road and Fuzhou Road meet at a special intersection. At the four corners of the intersection, four historic buildings built in the 1920s and 1930s stand respectively, forming a distinctive street center space in the historic district of Shanghai. Among them, the two sister buildings with symmetrical layout and basically the same facade are even more spectacular. Today, let's take a look at one of them-Capital Hotel (now known as Jinjiang Capital Classic Shanghai New Town Bund Hotel).

The building itself is located in the northeast of the intersection of Jiangxi Middle Road and Fuzhou Road. It was designed in 1929 and completed in 1934. Covering area 133 1_, building area 10540.2_, steel frame structure system, underground 1 floor, with 65440 floors above ground. Step by step retreat from the platform above the eighth floor of the building, forming a sense of towering; The outer wall along the street on the ground floor is decorated with granite, and the main entrance, the top floor of the building and the tower eaves all have typical decorative art patterns. It is a high-rise hotel building with early modern architectural style with decorative art elements.

This building is one of the typical representative works of Shanghai Concession High-rise Building in the 20th century. Since the completion of 1934, it was one of the tallest and most luxurious hotels in Shanghai at that time, and it was once a place to lead the "urban fashion".

The building is located at Jiangxi Middle Road 180 and 170, adjacent to the former Hamilton Building, and both belong to the British New Sassoon Group. The two buildings are separated on both sides of Fuzhou Road and are sister buildings built at the same time, with symmetrical layout and the same elevation. Together with the construction building and the original building located at the four corners of the same street, they retreat at the corner facing the street, forming a concave arc-shaped outer wall and setting the front door of the corner. Through the combination of road space and architectural interface, they form a distinctive street central space, which is of great research value in Shanghai street history.

The building is an excellent case of adopting advanced structural system, construction technology and building materials at that time. This building was built with deep piles in the early days of Shanghai. Through the effective control of the construction process, the adjacent Jincheng Bank Building was not affected, and the building construction was completed in only 1 year. The advanced all-steel structure system is adopted, and the wall adopts the leading "steam mud brick" produced by British merchant ship China steam mud brick company at that time. It not only has the advantage of light weight, but also improves the thermal insulation and sound insulation performance of the wall due to its tiny pore structure.

Since the opening of 1935, the building has been allocated to Shanghai Chemical Industry Bureau for office use only during 1958- 1964, and has been used as a hotel function for a long time. 1964 When the hotel business resumed, it was managed by Jinjiang Group. 1988.

In 2000, 20 13-20 16, the whole transformation was carried out many times.

1994, Capital Hotel was announced as the second batch of outstanding historical buildings in Shanghai.

After more than 80 years of use and previous renovation, there are some problems in this building, such as dirty outdoor environment, lack of exterior wall details, outdated electromechanical and fire-fighting systems, etc. Its architectural functions, decoration standards and facilities can no longer meet the needs of modern hotels. Therefore, since 20 13, the building has been completely renovated. The key parts to be protected during the renovation are the overall environment of the building, the east-west elevation and basic plane layout, the original basement bar, the lobby, entrance hall and dining room on the first floor, the "Zilai Hall", the original stairwell and fireplace, wrought iron railings and other special details.

The exterior wall and interior decoration details with distinctive decorative art style are the most important components of buildings with historical architectural charm, but they have been missing or changed after many historical repairs. By analyzing historical data and comparing the existing samples of the original Hamilton building of the sister building, the original architectural details of the main part of the opposite side were restored and designed, so that the building truly and completely presents a rich and beautiful historical image.

After protection and renovation, the Capital Hotel retains the original important space and distinctive decoration of the restored building, highlights the historical and cultural value of the building, and improves the safety and comfort of the classic historical hotel as a whole.
