The concept of the Warehouse Conversion and Exhibition Centre project in China is to preserve the existing building as core to the whole areas, and to reestablish the connection with the city and public. The old concrete frame will have a new life enabling fluidity of circulation, warm materials, new and vibrant programme connections.

It will include:

Yongkang Industrial Memory Museum

With time as the vein, story as the main body, emotion as the bond and experience as the core, it presents different parts of the daily life of Yongkang people and carries the common memory of Yongkang hardware industry. It will include partially elevated space, where visitors can gradually experience through manual and multimedia forms, and games and gifts are set up so that visitors can understand, feel and acquire.

Science Centre

A science exploration space created exclusively for children, combines industrial elements with a variety of games to educate and entertain in order to meet the needs of parent-child excursions.

Activity Centre

The functionally diverse space spreads into exhibition space and event space. The Warehouse Conversion and Exhibition space can be used for temporary, special and thematic exhibitions; the event space can be rented for conferences, training, seminars, or events such as concerts and festivals.
