"Over a period of ten months, I travelled to all the different corners of Shanghai, seeking the architectural landmarks that gloriously represents the city’s breakneck progress since China’s economic accelerations in the early 1990’s. Researching Shanghai’s urban development and architectural history, while living and experiencing the city, has directed me towards a number of mysterious monuments, located on top of the metropolis’ skyscrapers."
