Bund City Sculpture Group

　　Introduction       The beauty of a city should consist of three elements: architecture, sculpture, and greenery. Urban sculptures are known as the “eyes of the city” and are an important part of urban beautification. The Bund City Sculpture Group consists of three stainless steel sculptures: “Light of the Huangpu River,” “Sail,” and “Wind.” They are located in the green corridor on the Bund along East Jinling Road, shining brilliantly under the sunlight. “Light of the Huangpu River” features a novel design, combining vertical waves and water droplets that resemble musical notes leaping on a staff, playing a lively and cheerful melody that sings the praises of the Huangpu River, Shanghai’s mother river. “Sail” depicts the dense array of sails on the Huangpu River, with fleets sailing toward all parts of the country; the connections between the sails and their multidimensional, flowing curves add a sense of three-dimensional dynamism. “Wind” uses acute and obtuse angles, arcs and broken lines, as well as folded undulations to express the powerful force of reform sweeping through the city, presenting a scene of vast diversity.
