The metallurgical plant has become a creative urban block and a new cultural landmark in Yangzhou City
In contemporary China's urban renewal and renovation projects, how to find a workable and balanced solution is a major challenge for designers. In the renovation project of the Yangzhou Metallurgical Plant, the design team balanced the demands of multiple parties and rejuvenated the 61-year-old factory area based on reconstructing the value, in order to bring new vitality to the Yangzhou Industrial City.
Regarding the renovation and renewal of the old site of this metallurgical Plant, we hope that while protecting the industrial culture, we can provide urban residents with a vibrant life theater and a cultural landmark with valuable memories.
The land of the Yangzhou Metallurgical Plant was once a desolate industrial brownfield after the factory was relocated. After renovation and renewal, it became prosperous, linking people and nature, and realizing green and sustainable development.
