Shangli Design Salon

Shangli Design Salon–Brand Introduction

Shangli Design Salon, guided by the brand philosophy of Championing reason to seek truth, following logic to shape design, is a professional exchange and research platform under Shanghai Shangli Architectural Design Consulting Co., Ltd. Rooted in the academic rigor of urban heritage management, it integrates historic space conservation, intangible cultural heritage (ICH) revitalization, and art & cultural creativity, bridging academic research, design practice and cultural innovation.

We honor the intrinsic value of historic built environments, the cultural continuity of living ICH transmission, and the systematic evolution of art and cultural creation. Taking urban heritage spaces as the carrier, ICH context as the core, and art creativity as the contemporary approach, our key agenda spans historic urban renewal, adaptive reuse of heritage buildings, scenario-based ICH activation, and systematic development of cultural and creative IPs. We anchor conservation boundaries with rigorous academic logic, and respond to the modern mission of cultural inheritance and innovation through rational design methodologies.

The salon convenes heritage conservation scholars, ICH bearers, architects, urban planners, artists and cultural industry practitioners, hosting in-depth programs including heritage value assessment seminars, ICH living inheritance forums, case reviews of historic space revitalization, cultural product development workshops, and international dialogues on conservation and innovation. Through rational discourse, we unpack the contemporary value of cultural heritage; within professional frameworks, we explore innovative pathways for the synergy of “space – ICH – cultural creativity”.

Based in Shanghai with a global outlook, Shangli Design Salon takes “reason” as its connecting thread, linking academic research, design practice, ICH transmission and cultural industries. While upholding the professional principles of cultural heritage conservation, we drive creative transformation grounded in rationality, building an intellectual community for urban cultural innovation with academic depth, cultural resonance and industrial impact.
