## What is Shanghai Architecture Archive?

Shanghai Architecture Archive is an illustrated field guide you can carry through the city.

Wander the Bund, Wukang Road, and Yuyuan Road. Discover a building on the map, read about its era, people, style, and stories, then follow curated chapters that turn scattered addresses into a richer portrait of Shanghai.

VOLUME ONE INCLUDES
• 73 historic buildings
• Three storied neighborhoods: the Bund, Wukang Road, and Yuyuan Road
• Illustrated façades and native map locations
• Building histories, notable residents, heritage status, and timelines
• Curated chapters and walking prompts
• An index browsable by area, era, and type
• A private, on-device collection and reading history

There are no check-in rankings and no attention-seeking notifications. The app is designed to feel like a quiet city book—useful before a walk and rewarding when you are standing in front of a building.

PURCHASES
A selection of representative building archives is free to read in full. A single, non-subscription Archive Pass unlocks the remaining full archive text. Optional support tips are also available and do not affect core features.

PRIVACY
No account. No personal data collection. No third-party analytics. Your collection and reading history stay on your device.
