Brief introduction of Shanghai government building in the Republic of China

The Shanghai Municipal Government Building in the Republic of China covers an area of 8,928 square meters and is located at the intersection of Sanmin Road, Wuquan Road, World Road and Datong Road in the planning of Greater Shanghai.

The building is four stories high, the entrance is on the first floor, there is a cross-shaped hall, four doors, two large escalators and two elevators, which reach the fourth floor directly. The ground floor has reception room, treasury, reception room, canteen and kitchen; The second floor is the auditorium, library and conference room; In the middle of the third floor are the offices of the mayor and senior staff, and on both sides are the offices of various departments; The fourth floor is the public service rest area, storage room, archives room and telephone main room.

Every room in the building has 1 19 heatstroke prevention fans and more than 9,000 square meters of hot water pipes to prevent cold, so that when the outdoor temperature is 0 degrees, the indoor temperature can reach 22 degrees. Each building also provides toilets, washrooms and fire-fighting equipment.

This 9800-square-meter building, including rooms with different functions, was barely framed in the outline of a palace, which brought a series of practical problems at that time: the auditorium in the middle of the second floor was a horizontal rectangle, which was not suitable; The small office on the first floor is too deep and the light is insufficient; The stairwell is also because the windows are too small and the window grilles are dense, which affects lighting; Because the main room adopts the tic-tac-toe ceiling, the ceiling color paintings used in the upper part of the tall space of palaces and temples are used in the small space that requires bright lighting in modern times, which produces a heavy, old-fashioned, depressed and gloomy feeling; Especially the four-story dormitory, which is only illuminated by eyes, is not well ventilated and stuffy. The archive room is placed on the top floor of the building, which increases the load of the building; The space utilization effect of the big roof is very poor, which also brings complexity to the structure; The roof curve is made of reinforced concrete; The roof is also cast-in-place reinforced concrete, and then glazed tiles are laid. These have caused considerable trouble to the construction, and the cost has also increased sharply.
