The project is located in the Jinwan district of Pudong and was originally a waste recycling plant. Following extensive remodelling, the building is now used as an exhibition building for the future urban transformation of the surrounding area. Despite the completely new use, it was important to us to retain parts of the existing building structure. The building was shortened, the supporting structure was retained, a new circulation system was created and the façades were opened up and re-clad.

In view of the planned construction sites in the immediate vicinity, which will be built over the next two to three years, the architectural interior design was deliberately conceived to be introverted. Three ‘courtyards’ connect the spatial structure. An extension on the west side connects the north and south buildings and creates an inner courtyard enclosed on three sides with an opening to the east. The two atriums function as internal ‘courtyards’ and connect with the outer courtyard to form a multi-layered spatial structure. The main exhibition spaces are located on the upper floor to provide a better view of the surroundings and create a close visual connection between the city planning of Jinwan and the construction site outside the windows.

项目位于浦东金湾片区，川桥路与曹家沟河交汇处，原为垃圾处理车间。经过重新规划，部分建筑将被拆除，保留主体结构。改造后，这里将转变为金湾产城实验室，即城市展厅。

面对未来两到三年内工地环绕的环境，建筑空间设计趋向内向，以三个“院子”串联起空间系统。西侧加建连接南北建筑，形成三面围合的院子，开口朝东，另外两个中庭作为内部“院子”，与外部院子结合，创造出层次丰富的空间。主要展陈项目位于上层，以获得更佳的对外视线条件，将金湾城市蓝图与窗外建设场景紧密关联。

建筑外部简洁明朗，下层内向、上层外向的视线策略确定了玻璃面位置，其余部分用竖纹金属板封闭，黑白色调彰显展览建筑特色。在遍植银杏的场地上，改造后的建筑以清晰的方式回应城市、既有建筑和新使用场景的关系。
