K11 (Chinese:K11购物艺术中心;pinyin:K11 Gòuwù Yìshù Zhōngxīn, also known asK11 Art Mall) is a shopping mall, located onHuaihai Lu of theXintiandi district, in the formerLuwan District ofShanghai,China. It is 278.3 metres (913 feet) high and was designed by Bregman and Hamann Architects.[1] The mall consists of six stories above ground, and three underground, with a total area of about 40,000 m2.[2] It overlooks thePeople's Square across theYan'an Elevated Road. Formerly called theHong Kong New World Tower (Chinese:香港新世界大厦;pinyin:Xiāngxǎng Xīn Shìjiè Dàshà), the building was reopened on May 28, 2013, as K11.[3]
In light of the burgeoning Chinese cultural art movement, K11 was designed as a union between retail and art.[3] This retail art center in Shanghai was opened by theK11 Art Foundation, led by founder Hong Kong billionaireAdrian Cheng. The firstK11 Art Mall was opened inHong Kong in 2009, four years before the opening of K11 Shanghai. K11 Shanghai is part of an initiative to create a "K11 art ecosystem" across all of China's major cities, such asWuhan andGuangzhou. Cheng envisions K11 as a space for "art for the masses"; when asked about his vision for the K11 ecosystem, Cheng answered, “We want to create something that can propagate culture domestically and also internationally. We want to showcase the creativity of China."[4]
